The Team


Mariska Jen Miessler, LPC-A

Most people looking for therapy have lived through several losses and traumatic experiences by the time they reach adulthood.  I can help you define what healing looks like for you - maybe you want closer relationships, better boundaries, more motivation, a good night's sleep, pain relief, or feeling more present in your daily life.  With clear goals, you will get tools and skills to take with you to be successful outside of the therapy session because that is where your life happens.

My life approach is rooted in the practice of self-compassion, and learning to be kind to yourself is something we will work on.  I promise to see you, to hear you, and that your story is safe with me.  You deserve that, and one goal is for you to believe it, too - it may take some time.  I can help you find meaning, ignite your passion for life, and create for yourself a life worth living.  To do this, I integrate neuroscience, trauma research, and mindfulness practices while incorporating innovative approaches to treatment that include art, music, movement, and creative writing.

Raven Lee, LMSW, MA, RYT

Welcome, thank you for being here! As a multiracial and highly sensitive person, I know how overwhelming life can be. Being human is hard! We may be very in-tune with our environment and other people and not know how to set healthy energetic boundaries. We may get lost in the depths of our minds and the intensity of our feelings and not know how to ground ourselves. We may even feel disconnected from our true selves, our bodies, our purpose, and each other. Please know that you are not alone! I'm here for you. I want to make sure you feel safe, seen, heard, and understood so that you can rediscover self-love, self-acceptance, and self-worth.

I will help you identify where certain thought patterns and behaviors stem from so that you can create new habits that feel more aligned with who you truly are. I will guide you through releasing trapped emotions and beliefs that get stored in the body. I utilize meditation and breathing techniques so that you can feel more grounded in your daily life.

My approach is collaborative, empathic, intuitive, and empowering. I like to include humor because I believe therapy can be fun, too, and I want us to be able to laugh together! We will work side-by-side so that you can deepen your mind-body-spirit connection and live the life you desire and deserve. Please reach out so we can start your healing journey!
