Meet our Staff

We are experienced, licensed psychotherapists with Masters or Ph.D. degrees. All of us participate in frequent post-graduate training. We also have registered MFT interns, who are working towards meeting post graduate licensing.

As colleagues, we treasure the opportunity to work with each other and with our clients. The atmosphere of healing and care at CCI is fed by our commitment to our own journeys of personal growth.
