Therapists

Our therapists have been assembled to offer a varied array of therapeutic skills, techniques and personal styles. You may review the bios of the therapists that comprise Plumeria Counseling Center to determine whether you would like to work with anyone in particular. Though every therapist has listed their specialties, each is experienced with conducting therapy for a wide spectrum of general, psychological patterns. Our goal is for you to find someone with whom you will feel the most comfortable.
