About us
Hi, I’m Angelica!
Come take a journey with me, where together we will craft a creative healing experience just for you. Working together we will find way to help you heal from whatever may be stopping you from living your life with freedom and purpose.
I believe in using your creativity to help find a way out of anything that may have caused pain in your life. I have seen many people heal their hearts and lives to create the life they had always dreamed of. Now, I want to help you increase the light that lives inside of you.
For over a decade, I have used traditional evidence-based therapies, in addition to creative interventions, group therapy, and the latest EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy, to help move the healing process along. To me, laughter is as healing as crying, so don’t be surprised if you hear laughter coming out of my office!
I look forward to getting to know you better and helping to you heal, stay healthy and grow.
It’s my heart’s desire to make sure that each client is able to get in touch with their inner creativity, so they can create the life they have always dreamed of and deserve, one filled with love, joy and healing.”

Snapshot of

Angelica has spoken nationally and internationally on a variety of topics including, trauma, self-injury and eating disorders.
My journey to creating Eden began one day, when I was praying and felt God directing me to start a faith-based group. At this point in my life, I had spent over a decade working with people with eating disorders and wanted to offer a space where science and faith could truly intersect. My goal was to create a group where people might learn to cultivate the garden of their heart to heal, repair and restore and take them back to the very beginning. To Eden.
My inspiration to start this collaborative of therapist's was based on my relationship with God. I have seen people of all faiths and no faith come into our offices, groups and transform their lives.
All are welcome!
Science can change, but only God can transform.
Hi, I’m Leslie!
From my early days wielding a toy stethoscope, to my fulfilling career in
community mental health, my journey has been a testament to my
unwavering commitment to helping others. As a Registered Behavioral
Therapist (RBT) I gained invaluable insights into the intricate world of
human behavior and the profound impact it has on individuals and their
families. Throughout my career, I have also been blessed to speak with groups on various mental health topics —from schools to foster care programs to teacher’s workshops.
Working with children, adolescents, and their families as a Mental Health
Counselor is not just a profession; it's a joy and privilege that fuels my passion. My mission is clear: to assist individuals in discovering the grace
they need on their unique healing journey. Guided by a lifelong calling, I've
dedicated myself to empowering others to find their inner strength, purpose, and, most importantly, peace. I long to be a beacon of hope and light for those around me.
Join me on this transformative path, where my experience as a therapist,
coupled with compassion, dedication, and unwavering support, converge

Hi, I’m Marian!
My lifelong fascination with the intricacies of successful relationships extends to the realm of mental health, particularly among adults and teenagers. I've always been intrigued by how people develop thriving connections, both with those around them and within themselves. My personal journey, marked by its fair share of relational challenges, acted as the spark that ignited my unquenchable curiosity about the psychology behind social interactions.
Devoting significant time to studying the factors that foster flourishing
relationships and emotional well-being, I've found my calling in working with
couples, adults, young adults and teenagers. To help amplify the sharing of knowledge throughout the community I have participated in several podcasts dedicated to relationships including, the Love On & The Coffee Breakup podcasts.
I am committed to empowering my clients to thrive in their relationships and find contentment and fulfillment within themselves.
Join me on this transformative journey, where we explore the secrets of building lasting connections and achieving personal peace. Together, we can pave the way for brighter, more fulfilling futures.

I love to
