Clinicians

Gordana approaches each client without a fixed template, drawing on whichever modality the moment calls for rather than fitting each person into one interpretive frame. She works from the premise that a treatment plan should be built around a person's specific history, temperament, and cultural context, not assembled from a standard framework applied uniformly across a caseload. Her early sessions are unhurried by design, favoring a thorough excavation of what brought someone to the room before any intervention begins.

Gordana brings particular depth to trauma, grief, and the psychology of identity, a focus sharpened by her own bicultural upbringing and fluency in both English and Serbian, which allows her to work with clients moving between languages and worldviews without losing precision in either. She also works extensively with couples and families, including premarital counseling for partners building a shared foundation before marriage, and has spent considerable time with clients navigating major life transitions and the disorientation that often accompanies them.

Gordana is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Nevada and California. Her work with individuals, couples, and families is oriented around context and story first, mapping the larger pattern before turning to what feels most urgent in the room.

Michele's clinical orientation draws from disparate traditions by design, synthesizing person-centered and Gestalt frameworks with Jungian depth psychology and a yogic understanding of the nervous system. She works from the premise that psychological insight and embodied experience are inseparable, that a client's history lives as much in muscle tone, breath, and posture as it does in narrative and memory.

Michele specializes in couples therapy, applying the Gottman Method with particular attention to the physiological undercurrents of conflict, the way a racing heart or shallow breath can hijack a conversation long before either partner recognizes what's happening. She is also trained in EMDR, drawing on its capacity to metabolize traumatic material that talk therapy alone often cannot reach. Her ongoing interest in the vagus nerve and the broader architecture of the parasympathetic nervous system informs a practice that treats regulation as a prerequisite to insight, not a footnote to it.

Michele holds a Ph.D. and is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Nevada. Her work with couples, individuals, and families is oriented around a single conviction: that lasting change requires both psychological understanding and a nervous system capable of holding it.
