Elizabeth Hackney, MS, LMFTA

Her specialties:

  • Motherhood can bring joy, love, and meaning, but also exhaustion, anxiety, and strain in relationships. Therapy offers space to process these changes, strengthen support systems, and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones. You don’t have to navigate this transition alone.

  • Every relationship faces challenges, from communication struggles to trust issues. Therapy provides a safe space to slow down, be heard, and rebuild connection. Together, we strengthen communication, restore trust, and deepen intimacy.

  • Families can bring love, support, and growth, but also conflict, stress, and miscommunication. Therapy offers a safe space to improve understanding, rebuild trust, and strengthen connection. Together, we create healthier patterns and more supportive relationships.

  • Trauma can leave you feeling stuck, unsafe, or disconnected. Therapy provides a compassionate space to process difficult experiences, reduce distress, and reclaim your sense of control and safety.

Briana Roberts, PhD, LMFT

Founder & Owner

Her specialties:

  • Loving across cultures can be deeply rewarding, but it can also bring unique challenges. In therapy, we create space to explore cultural differences, communication patterns, and family dynamics with curiosity and respect. Together, we strengthen understanding, trust, and connection so both partners feel seen and valued.

  • Exploring who you are within the context of culture, family, and relationships can feel complicated. Therapy offers space to unpack expectations, honor your background, and find clarity in who you are becoming. Together, we’ll strengthen your sense of self so you can move through the world with confidence and authenticity.

  • Every relationship faces moments of disconnection and change. In therapy, we create space to slow down, understand each other, and rebuild trust. Together, we strengthen communication, resolve conflict, and foster deeper, more authentic connection.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused therapy that helps your brain process and heal from difficult experiences. Instead of talking through every detail, EMDR uses gentle bilateral stimulation such as eye movements or tapping to reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories. This helps you feel calmer, more in control, and less triggered by the past so you can move forward with greater peace and confidence.
