Ashley nguyen
mft student therapist
Mental health isn’t something that exists in isolation. It’s a way of life that touches every part of who we are. My work supporting individuals through moments of struggle and growth has deepened my respect for human resilience. My goal is to tailor therapy in a way that honors your experiences, values, and goals, and is always grounded in compassion. Having worked as a merchant marine, I witnessed how deeply isolation can affect a person’s sense of self, and how transformative it can be when people find connection, purpose, and support. That perspective continues to guide me as I help others navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, LGBTQ+ issues, sexual identity exploration, or simply feeling stuck, my role is to walk alongside you. I strive to create a safe and contained space to help you lead a fulfilling life.
Elena coNTI
MFT STUDENT THERAPIST
Hello! My name is Elena, I am an MFT Student Therapist currently studying at Touro University Worldwide. Always being drawn to the emotions and perceptions of individuals, my passion has consistently been centered around helping others. My core values include compassion, connection, and community, which I believe are essential pillars for a balanced and meaningful life. I take a client-centered approach that is both collaborative and individualized. Each person brings a unique set of experiences and goals that shape who they are and what brings them to therapy. I strive to honor that uniqueness by learning from each client’s story and working together to create solutions that feel authentic and supportive. My prior experience has primarily involved working with children, though I have also spent years volunteering and working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and across various stages of life. I aim to provide an environment that feels safe, open, and warm. A space that honors and respects the individual whilst attending to both the mind and the body. My hope is to help clients connect more deeply with themselves, with others, and with the world around them, fostering new perspectives, acceptance, self-compassion, and personal growth. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me, I hope I can do the same with you!
Sean l. Taylor
CPC STUDENT THERAPIST
Sean is a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at Bradley University currently completing his student internship at Red Rock Counseling. He works with adults and teens navigating life transitions, stress, identity challenges, litigation-induced stress, and the long-term effects of unresolved trauma.
Sean wants to take an integrative, trauma-informed approach to therapy, drawing from cognitive and insight-oriented strategies to help clients understand patterns, build resilience, and navigate meaningful life transitions. His work is collaborative, grounded, and practical, with an emphasis on creating a steady and supportive space where clients can slow down, reflect, and work toward lasting change.
He brings decades of experience from public safety work, which has shaped his understanding of high-stress environments, responsibility, and the impact of cumulative pressure on emotional well-being. This perspective informs his work with men facing divorce, midlife transitions, and identity shifts, as well as veterans, members of the law enforcement community, and adults who have experienced childhood trauma.
Sean believes effective therapy balances honest conversation with practical tools, allowing clients to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-understanding.
sHANTEL williams
mft student therapist
Shantel is a Marriage and Family Therapy practicum student who believes that therapy should feel like a place to exhale. She is passionate about creating a space where clients feel emotionally safe, genuinely heard, and respected in their full experience. She approaches her work with warmth, curiosity, and deep compassion for the ways life, relationships, and past experiences shape who we become.
Shantel enjoys working with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating life transitions, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and the impact of stressful or painful experiences. She views people through a systemic and relational lens, recognizing that struggles rarely exist in isolation and are often connected to our relationships, environments, and personal histories.
As a developing therapist, Shantel strives to walk alongside her clients rather than “fix” them. She believes healing happens through meaningful connection, honest reflection, and learning to reconnect with one’s own inner voice. She is committed to offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients from diverse backgrounds can explore, heal, and grow at their own pace.

Amanda Cipili
cpc student therapist
I believe therapy should be a space where people feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood as human beings first, not reduced to labels, diagnoses, or assumptions. While diagnoses can sometimes help us make sense of our experiences, I do not believe in over-pathologizing natural responses to trauma, grief, chronic stress, oppression, disconnection, or the overwhelming sociopolitical climate we are all trying to navigate. I believe healing begins by meeting people where they are with curiosity, compassion, honesty, and care.
As a CPC Student Intern and Art Therapist in Training, my approach is trauma-informed, relational, existential, humanistic, and person-centered. I am especially passionate about art therapy and the role creativity can play in emotional processing, identity development, healing, and self-discovery. Art therapy is not about being “good at art,” but about creating space for nonverbal expression and helping people process emotions and experiences that can feel difficult to put into words. Sometimes our bodies, emotions, and artwork speak long before we fully understand what we are carrying consciously.
I work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, emotional overwhelm, identity exploration, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, relationship difficulties, and feelings of disconnection from themselves or the world around them. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and deeply drawn to feminist, multicultural, and decolonizing approaches to therapy that recognize how culture, systems, politics, identity, and lived experiences shape our mental health and the ways we move through the world.
My background includes several years of experience working with children and adolescents with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other neurodivergent experiences, as well as volunteering in hospice care supporting individuals and families navigating grief, illness, death, and end-of-life transitions. These experiences have deeply shaped my understanding of resilience, humanity, vulnerability, and the importance of creating spaces where people feel emotionally safe enough to simply exist as they are.
I often think that many of us move through life feeling as though we are trapped inside a dream, watching things happen around us while feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, powerless, or uncertain of who we are beneath survival mode. Part of my role as a therapist is helping people slow down, reconnect with themselves, process their experiences piece by piece, and begin reclaiming agency over their emotions, choices, relationships, and life story. I do not believe therapy is about “fixing” people. I believe it is about helping people come home to themselves in a more honest, grounded, compassionate, and empowered way.
Cameron Francois
mft student therapist
I believe healing happens through connection, vulnerability, self-awareness, and learning how to give ourselves the same compassion we often give to others.
I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges while building healthier relationships with themselves and others. As an MFT student therapist currently studying at National University, I believe therapy is one of the most powerful tools for growth, healing, and self-discovery. My goal is to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered to be fully themselves without judgment.
I enjoy working with teens, individuals, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, self-esteem struggles, eating disorders, and life transitions. I am especially passionate about helping clients strengthen their relationships, improve communication, and reconnect with themselves in a more compassionate and confident way. I also have a strong interest in working with intercultural and interracial couples, helping partners navigate cultural differences, family expectations, communication styles, identity, and relationship dynamics with greater understanding, empathy, and connection.
I believe authentic human connection is one of the most important parts of the therapeutic process, and I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves.
If you are looking for a therapist who will meet you with honesty, warmth, and genuine care, I would be honored to be part of your journey.
