CATHIE GORDON, LMFT, LPCC
Therapist and Founder of Empathy Works Therapy
Certified EMDR Therapist, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist (EFT)
I help couples and individuals create greater safety within their relationships and deepen their emotional bonds with loved ones. I especially love working with women with mid-life concerns and supporting parents navigating the challenges of raising children.
I believe in the healing power of relationship. We are hurt in relationship and we heal in relationship.
Clients tell me I am a warm and compassionate therapist. I believe we are are stronger than we know.
JENNY PEREZ, LCSW
Therapist
I help individuals and couples realize a fuller potential.
Through a safe therapeutic relationship I help clients share their thoughts and feelings in ways that serve and enhance their well-being.
I believe that human beings are programmed to be socially interconnected; We naturally seek togetherness, crave closeness and intimacy. Sometimes the world around us and/or the world within us can block us from getting our needs met.
This is the goal of therapy; To help us regain our connections to self, others and the world around us.
Briana Soladay, LMFT, C-IAYT
Therapist
I help individuals (adults and elders) and couples.
I especially enjoy working with issues like finding meaningful vocation and expression of potential.
I love sharing tools to soothe anxiety, lighten depression and re-pattern maladaptive habits (like ruminating in anger or worry).
I have a deep well of experience and a calling for working with trauma, grief, and PTSD.
I also enjoy supporting couples in developing understanding and improved connection in wounded relationships.
Lucas Harris, AMFT
Therapist
Individuals, couples, and teens come to me for a variety of reasons, but they all share a common goal: they want to make a change in their lives. Sometimes the coping mechanisms that worked for us in the past are no longer effective. This can lead to problems in our relationships, our careers and our emotional state.
I believe that psychotherapy is a collaborative process between therapist and client. The relationship we build is the foundation for successful therapy. We will work to create a curious, compassionate, and respectful partnership where we can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences.
Together we can heal past wounds, repair relationships, overcome disappointment, and create a life you are grateful for.

“We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.”
