PSYCHOLOGY TODAY PROFILE
Lora Marinova, MHC-LP
(waitlist)
Hello, my name is Lora. As a clinician, I prioritize person-centered care and facilitating a safe therapeutic environment. My experience in this field has shown me how important it is to be in the here-and-now with my clients. I aim to help you process and work through life changes, learn to navigate and manage depression and anxiety, recognize personal strengths and build up skills to overcome adversity. I do my best to identify what goals to work on collaboratively. It's important to me to create a working relationship with all my clients so you can get what you're seeking out of your care.
Chikaodi Odemena, MHC-LP
Talking about challenging experiences can be difficult and finding the right person to share these experiences with can seem nearly impossible. Together, we can create a warm, non-judgmental space that feels safe enough to peel back the layers and shed light on your experiences.
As a Counselor that uses an eclectic approach, Chikaodi is flexible in order to meet you where you are at rather than rushing to conclusions and solutions. A holistic approach is emphasized since the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual impact a person’s overall wellbeing. Chikaodi pulls from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, narrative therapy, and humanistic therapies.
Chikaodi is open to working with people of all backgrounds and experiences; they have experience providing LGBTQ+ affirming care and trauma informed care to people of varying backgrounds. They have years of experience working with those within the LGBTQ+ community, those who have experienced homelessness, and those who experience depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Chikaodi is bi-cultural and looks forward to working with people that identify as first and second-generation immigrants.
Denis Eder, LMHC-D
I view therapy as a collaborative process where clients are invited to make sense of their experiences in a way that feels authentic to them. Rather than directing the process, I focus on creating a supportive environment where individuals can speak openly, reflect at their own pace, and gain insight into their thoughts and emotions. In the midst of busy and often overwhelming daily life, having intentional time to pause and look inward can be a powerful part of personal growth.
Creating room for reflection can open the door to new perspectives and a deeper awareness of internal experiences. As clients begin to better understand their emotional responses and patterns, they often find greater clarity in how they relate to themselves and others. This increased awareness can support more intentional decision-making and help guide the next steps in their personal growth.
My work is guided by an integrative approach, drawing from relational theory, attachment theory, affect regulation theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed counseling. I tailor these approaches to align with each client’s unique goals, needs, and lived experiences.
I have experience working with individuals across the lifespan, including youth, teenagers, young adults, adults, and older adults (ages 4–70). My clinical work has included supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups. I have worked with people who are differently abled, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and individuals from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. I am committed to creating an inclusive, affirming environment where all clients feel respected and understood.
I support clients in strengthening skills that can enhance their day-to-day lives and overall well-being. This may involve developing healthier ways to manage emotions, improving interpersonal communication, setting and maintaining boundaries, and building strategies that align with each person’s goals and values.
As a counselor, I aim to bring warmth, empathy, and understanding into each session. I believe people grow best in environments where they feel safe, supported, and genuinely accepted. My goal is to meet clients where they are and partner with them in working toward meaningful change, while ensuring they feel heard and valued throughout the process.
