Sequoia Counseling Team:

Welcome! I’m Kara, a compassionate and dedicated therapist with a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate the complexities of life’s challenges. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, or the effects of trauma, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Therapist, trained in addressing the profound impact trauma can have on both mind and body. My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to your unique needs, combining Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Client-Centered practices. I aim to build a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to work toward your goals.

In addition to these foundational approaches,

My goal is to help you feel safe, heard, and supported as we work together to understand the root of your challenges and develop personalized strategies for healing. I am committed to meeting you where you are, with empathy, patience, and a non-judgmental space to explore your path forward.

If you're ready to take the first step toward healing, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work through the difficult moments and help you reconnect with your strength, resilience, and sense of peace.

Veronica Gruba is dedicated to supporting people from all backgrounds through life’s transitions — whether it’s a career change, navigating identity challenges, a shift in relationships, or moving into a new life stage. I strive to create a safe, nurturing space where you can begin to heal, explore your thoughts and emotions, gain insights, and develop strategies to meet your unique challenges.

My approach to therapy centers on what you need and what truly works, rooted deeply in empathy. I believe therapy is a radical act of self-love and defiance—a space where you can gain profound self-insight, embrace who you truly are, and begin writing a more fulfilling story for your life.

Blending humor, resilience, and compassion with a deep understanding of life’s complexities, I offer a space that is queer-affirming, gender-affirming, and socially conscious. Whether you're facing a significant life transition or simply need a place to process, I’m here to support you.

I support individuals from all walks of life, with a special focus on working with BIPOC communities, particularly women of color, as they navigate the complexities of identity, trauma, and resilience. I recognize that mental health is shaped not only by our inner world, but also by the cultural, historical, and systemic forces that influence our lives.

My approach to therapy is grounded in cultural humility, compassion, and presence. I do not see myself as the expert on your life—you are. I am here to walk alongside you, to listen with intention, and to support your journey back to your own strength, wisdom, and healing.

Clinically, I draw from both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), while working relationally and at a pace that feels right for you. Our work together will center your voice, values, and lived experience. I view therapy as both a sacred space for reflection and a practical space for growth. It is a place where you can show up fully and be met with care, clarity, and respect.

Whether you are moving through a difficult season, seeking deeper connection with yourself, or simply looking for more grounding, therapy can offer space for healing, restoration, and renewal. You do not have to carry it all on your own.

Nora Muongpruan, AMFT, is a compassionate and dedicated therapist who specializes in providing transformative care for individuals facing various challenges. With a warm and empathetic approach, Nora integrates Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build emotional resilience and cultivate self-compassion.

Nora particularly enjoys working with clients diagnosed with ADHD, helping them recognize their unique strengths and abilities. She works collaboratively with clients to guide them toward new techniques and skills to overcome challenges related to attention, focus, and impulsivity, ultimately empowering them to thrive in their personal and professional lives.

As a Certified Clinical Trauma Therapist with Evergreen, Nora has extensive experience in understanding the deep impact of trauma on the mind and body. She also incorporates Brainspotting 1, an advanced trauma therapy, in her practice. Brainspotting is an innovative technique that helps clients access and process unresolved trauma by focusing on specific points in the visual field. This method enables deeper emotional healing by unlocking trauma stored in the brain and fostering lasting emotional regulation.

Nora’s mission is to support her clients in their journey toward healing, self-awareness, and personal growth, providing a safe and nurturing space for transformation.

   Jordan Falasco approaches each session with empathy, humor, with the belief in your capacity for growth-even during life's most overwhelming moments.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space focused on what matters most to you.

Additionally, I bring experience in working with clients facing substance abuse challenges, offering compassionate and tailored support to meet their unique needs. My training in Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TCBT) allows me to integrate mindfulness and cognitive strategies in a manner that honors your lived experiences and cultural background.

I am deeply committed to providing culturally sensitive therapy that respects and integrates your unique cultural background. Embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing is a courageous step, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
