MEET THE TRAINERS
Mysti Rainwater
MA, LPC-S, PLLC | Clinical Director
"Sometimes you just need someone to talk to... someone who isn't your spouse, your child, your parent... who isn't a friend or family member, neighbor or co-worker... someone who can give you support by listening without judgement or challenge you, as appropriate, if necessary... someone who can give you feedback that isn't biased by their relationship with you... this is the beauty of the counseling relationship."
Benjamin Pedraza
MA, LPC
“Feeling like your life is missing something, like you're going in circles, or frustrated because you don't know what to do next? Do you often criticize yourself, or expect yourself to "just get over it?" Do you sometimes feel like you want to scream? Let me tell you, I too, have lived through uncertain, challenging times and second-guessed myself, so let's talk?I offer sessions in English and Spanish, specializing in helping people with diverse backgrounds re-energize their lives.”
Alyson French
MA, LPC
“My passion is helping others to find and embrace the best version of themselves. I want to help you discover your strengths, enhance them, change negative thought patterns, learn ways to manage your emotions, build healthier relationships, and help you find ways to be satisfied with your own wellbeing. You must know, there is a freedom in discovering YOU and being comfortable in your daily life or doing what makes you feel good!”
Cheri Palazza
MA, LPC-S
“Life can be stressful and I believe we are designed to cope with things together not alone. Counseling can help navigate some of the many transitions we face on our journey. I love what I do and believe that together we can develop a strategy and treatment plan that is strength based to achieve your future goals!”
Amy Dawn
MA, LAC
“I’m here to accompany you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. I view counseling as a vehicle. You are in the driver's seat, firmly in control of the steering wheel, brakes, and accelerator at all times. As your therapist, I step into the passenger seat, equipped with the tools and expertise to serve as your trusted GPS navigator. I'm here to help you navigate the twists and turns of your path, offering guidance, support, and perspective along the way and make sure your gas tank stays full. Just like a GPS, I provide insights into the route options available for reaching your desired destination—the destination you define for yourself.”
Tarrin Anderson
MA, LAC
“Are you tired of feeling like you're never doing enough, like you're not living up to your potential or what you "should" be doing? Feeling like no one can understand what you're going through? Do you hold yourself to incredibly high standards and feel like you're always doing/giving/taking care of others? Do you struggle with religious or relational trauma? Are you Queer/LGBTQIA+ identifying? Together we can listen to what you need most, ground through the breath and the body, and practice techniques for alleviating trauma responses while discovering your authentic self.”
Mike Sanchez
BA, Masters Intern, BHT
“Do you feel overwhelmed with life’s challenges? Do the ends just never seem to meet? Life can through serious storms our way and navigating our way out of them can be difficult. There are never any instructions, and the breaks do not come when we need them. I believe in a whole person approach to overcoming life’s challenges. Part of that includes finding meaning in everything we do. Learning to purposefully walk through life is key, it puts you in the driver's seat. Together we will learn to drive.”
Francisco Romero
BA, Masters Intern

In a safe and supportive environment, you'll find the space to explore, grow, and move forward.”

Vanessa Prenatt
BA, Master’s Intern
I approach counseling with empathy, curiosity, and a focus on collaboration. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. My style includes combining evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and person centered therapies with mindfulness techniques to support both immediate and long-term growth. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, or personal transitions, our work together will meet your unique needs. My goal is to help couples, families, and individuals to feel empowered, supported, and equipped with the tools to navigate life.
Araceli Olmos
MA, LAC
From personal experience, I know how scary, overwhelming, lonely, and defeating our internal reality can feel at times. Suffering does not have to be a human experience that we dread or get stuck in. Together we can help you feel how beautiful life truly is. Professionally, I have worked with fellow humans struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, gender and sexuality related concerns, borderline personality disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Through the usage of Mindfulness, Strength-Based Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Expressive Art Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy we can help you rewrite your story and become the person you were always destined to be.
