After noticing the scarcity of bilingual therapists working in different clinics, Arturo Ojeda started Bienstar Counseling. He leads the company driven by his passion for making a difference in the English- and Spanish-speaking mental health community.

He and his team of clinicians serve people of all ages, from children and teenagers to adults and seniors. They offer a wide range of treatments, including therapy for individuals, couples, and families, as well as play therapy for kids.

In addition to these services, several people commended the center for their collection of audiovisual content designed to support mental well-being.

Patients also appreciate the practical convenience of making insurance payments from major providers, including Amerigroup and Parkland.

However, due to catering to all age groups, we discovered that the clinic always has a long waitlist.

A safe space that has helped me so much with my anxiety and depression

“This place is definitely a safe space that has helped me so much with my anxiety and depression. I’ve been here for a while now, and I am a completely better person than I was before. I have learned so much from this experience and hope to continue to do better as time goes by. The staff is super sweet, supportive and welcoming. Highly recommend to everyone. :)”

The doctor helped my daughter get out of the dark hole she was in

“My daughter was with therapist Claudia, and thanks to her, she was able to overcome the trauma she was experiencing. We will miss her so much. I wish there were many more like her who care about their patients. The doctor helped my daughter get out of the dark hole she was in. Thank you so much, Claudia! ❤️ We highly recommend her. Now my daughter is a new person, and I never thought this day would come.”

Motivating Minds Mental Health Counseling specializes in helping teens and adults within the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. 

Khiara Mills, the clinic’s founder, offers a diverse range of treatments, such as life transition therapy, stress management, and brainspotting therapy.

She also provides all her services virtually, which enables people to attend sessions anywhere without the need to travel.

Before starting therapy, she conducts a free phone consultation, where you can discuss the challenges you’re facing and ask questions. Most of her clients find this extremely helpful to determine if her approach is right for their circumstances.

Once you’ve decided to move forward, she accepts payments from major insurance companies, including Oscar Health and Aetna.

That said, she’s a solo practitioner who only entertains a limited number of patients at once.

Her sessions are compassionate and goal-focused

“Mills is an excellent clinician. She has an amazing ability to connect with teenagers. Her sessions are compassionate, goal focused, and gives practical homework tools that helps kids have a sense of accomplishment and motivated toward progress.”

Sarah Tadlock, founder of Thrive CO Counseling, boasts almost a decade of experience in the counseling and mental health field. Her clinic mainly helps women find freedom and transform their lives through online therapy. 

They offer several treatments, from sexual trauma and religious trauma therapy to relationship and social anxiety therapy.

With various therapeutics come their multiple approaches. The team is well-versed in using evidence-based techniques such as EMDR, somatic therapy, and internal family systems to help patients understand how their issues impact and rewire their brains.

Finding which method works best for you begins with a no-cost video discussion to get the full picture of your struggles. This made us admire the center more because they could just conduct a phone consultation if they wanted to.

Some clients, however, hope they reconsider accepting insurance payments in the future.

She wants to help you reach your goals and cares about your personal growth

“Sarah is a skilled therapist in treating complex trauma relationship problems. She is extremely professional yet personal. Great communicator – easy to share what you want. She wants to help you reach your goals and truly cares about your personal growth. Highly recommend no matter what stage of life you’re at.” 

-Hannah Scherer, Google Review 

Her methodology is client-centered, heart-driven, and empowering

“Ms.Tadlock genuinely cares for her clients, and invests in your goals and dreams. Her methodology is client centered, heart driven and empowering. She has extensive experience working with those who have lived through trauma and mental health challenges. It is so much easier to thrive with my ADHD symptoms now with her guidance. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

Kristin Warren leads KW Counseling. Her qualifications include being a marriage and family therapist supervisor, a chemical dependency counselor, and a professional counselor supervisor.

Drawing on her extensive expertise, she employs several therapeutic methods, from EMDR and brainspotting therapy to parts work and the Gottman method. It’s because of this that we think she’s the perfect choice for highly tailored sessions.

What’s more impressive is that she offers unique services that you won’t usually find in other clinics, such as sex and nature therapy.

To top it all off, you have the option to undergo treatments online, which many clients find convenient because they don’t need to adjust their schedules around commute times.

The only drawback is that she runs her clinic alone and has limited availability.

Incredibly helpful, great listener, and provided me with several tools

“Incredibly helpful, great listener, provided several helpful tools to not only help me de-stress but live more stress-free in general. I got to know myself a lot better because of her analytical skills. Plus she would just let me babble, which sometimes is all you need. I started going to Kristin for work related anxiety and then expanded into all kinds of anxiety as I thought through other areas in my life I wanted to improve. Highly recommend.”

Makes you feel comfortable and helps navigate what you’re going through

“Kristen makes you feel very comfortable and helps strategically navigate whatever you may be going though. Very relatable with great feedback and practicing points to help get to whatever you’re working towards!”

The AUM Integral Wellness team believes that psychotherapy isn’t only about fixing what’s painful, but also about deliberately shaping the life you want to live. 

It’s because of their perspective that they practice a holistic approach, creating personalized plans that nurture their patients’ mind, body, and spirit.

Their method is complemented by a wide variety of specialty areas, from trauma and emotional sensitivity to anxiety and depression.

Even better, they offer a comprehensive range of treatments, including distinctive ones like yoga psychotherapy and massage therapy.

We find the clinic’s complimentary phone consultation beneficial for those who never tried therapy.

However, some people got overwhelmed during the initial consultation due to the numerous options the team presented at once.

Top-notch facility integrating various methodologies to suit each client

“Top notch facility integrating various methodologies to suit each client individually.  One of the first to offer yoga as therapy as well as breath work.  Highly recommended if you are serious about your mental well being.”
