Danielle Waagmeester, MA 
Danielle believes that the problem is the problem; the person is not the problem. Problems exist outside of who we are, and we become troubled when the problem becomes part of our identity. We create meaning in our lives based on the story we have developed of who we are. Problem saturated stories can become oppressive. Creating space between the person and the problem helps to provide the ability to find the hidden possibilities within, and to change the outcome and re-author the story. Danielle received her MA in Clinical Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado and is an independent facilitator of Becoming a Love and Logic Parent® curriculum. Individuals, couples, families and children welcome.

Jane S. Jones
How available are you to support your loved ones, or even yourself? Thoughts may run through my mind every day, fostering fear, anger, stress, and depression and can be very distracting. Life kept throwing me curves, and then in 2004, I found The Work of Byron Katie, which changed my life forever. Byron Katie is a 64 year old woman who discovered that when she believed her thoughts, she suffered. She created The Work, a simple process of inquiry that clears the mind by identifying and questioning stressful thoughts. Who would you be without your story? I'm trained in The Work of Byron Katie and enrolled in Facilitator Training at People House. Please visit Byron Katie's website www.thework.com to learn more about The Work.

Dianne Drake Foss, MS
As a certified Gestalt Therapist, I enjoy working with children, adults, and facilitating support groups for both moderate drinking, and adult children of alcoholics. My private practice at People House is a caring, non-judgmental place to share your concerns about problems with alcohol, children's issues, self-esteem, grief, loss, anxiety, and the elderly. After listening to what's happening in your life, I often use Gestalt, play therapy, art, sand tray and cognitive techniques, depending on client needs. For low-income clients, I offer a sliding scale on a limited basis. I also offer a complementary 15-minute, get-to-know session, followed by an hour of therapy. See my website for more information about my practice at www.ddftherapy.com.

Yolanda Esatai, M.Ed., LPC
I have an M.Ed. in Counseling & Guidance and am a LPC with over 24 years' experience working with adults, children, adolescents, and families. My areas of specialization are: abuse, victimization, trauma; Domestic Violence (women); mood issues; interpersonal relationships; effective parenting; coping with life transitions and stressors/Life Skill building; and women's groups. I view the therapeutic relationship as collaborative building on mutual respect and a sincere desire to grow. I create and hold a safe space for the art of healing conversation and speaking Truth, providing support to explore and connect with inner wisdom, which leads to direct action to release or change that which no longer serves. Through this healing process, the balance between mind, body and spirit can be restored. I incorporate therapeutic skills and techniques including cognitive-behavioral, Energy-Psychology, mindfulness and spiritual practices to facilitate individuals achieving their goals for personal growth and fulfilling their highest potential. I approach my clients with curiosity, faith and courage and I encourage them to walk this path with me. Free consultation. Sliding fee scale available.

In addition to being a Certified Master Herbalist, I have additional training in Medical Qigong, Hand and Ear Acupressure and Emotional Release using Young Living Essential Oils. I would be honored to work with you to address your current symptoms and to be your guide as you embark on the journey back to radiant health. Sliding-fee-scale available.

Susan Bickel, MA
Do you watch yourself repeating the same self-sabotaging patterns and behaviors, in spite of your best intentions and efforts? One of the best ways to "bust through" these patterns is through energy psychology therapies. Your progress can be faster, less painful and more effective than what you may have tried before. On the other side of the process is long lasting, powerful healing. Sue holds a masters degree in Counseling and Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica. She has been trained in Psych-K, EFT, EMDR, Energy Medicine, and Life Alignment therapies. She works with people who want to be happier, through overcoming the deficits caused in childhood and beyond. A free initial consultation is available by phone or in person. Washington Park location.
