Michelle Oweka, LCSW CEO

Welcome to our page. If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, then you are in the right place. Feeling exhausted, being overwhelmed and sad? Even those closet to you can't see your pain? You have spent a long time in pain and hiding your true feelings by wearing a mask and pretending to be okay. I have over 25 years of experience having the privilege of working with clients and being able to help them them live a fuller, happier, and more balanced life. Working with me you will be provided a safe space without judgment which will allow you to get in touch with your real feelings and your authentic self. We will get to the root cause of what is getting in the way of you living the life you want to live. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, and life's transitions. In additional to using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and compassion treatment skills I also use spiritual principles that has guided me through this journey called life.

It is important to us as a treatment team that you feel valued, heard, understood and cared for and motivated to be in the driver's seat to live the life you want and deserve. If you feel that we can be a resource to you, let's chat!

Kimberly Vang, Billing & Admin Assistant

I'm new to being a medical biller and admin assistant but am eager to help patients with all their billing and coverage concerns.

I have a bachelors' degree in Psychology and have been interested in becoming a therapist for the longest time. Even though I'm not working directly with clients, just being able to consult with them and help them from behind the scenes has really inspired me to want to pursue this career path.
