If you are here, you have made an important decision to make a change in your life. Whether you're here for yourself, your spouse or your child it's important to know that there is support and resources for you to navigate your challenges. Trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use, life transitions, emmigration, cultural challenges, parenting challenges, and relationship conflicts, can all cause barriers that can keep you from achieving your true potential. The therapeutic process can help you navigate those challenges, explore options, and help you create a balanced life that will allow you to live your best life.

My name is Ali. For the past fifteen years, I have been in practice as a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. As a therapist, I am deeply curious and inquisitive. I am direct when I need to be. I believe that therapy is about making meaningful contact and connection with another individual. Connection requires warmth, kindness and humility, and I work hard to bring these qualities to my practice. Through my work, I’ve found that a bond develops between patient and therapist. Overtime, this bond has unique and mysterious healing powers. That’s the result I’m working to achieve.

Life, man. Life. With the highs, come the inevitable lows which can be difficult to navigate, much less tolerate. Sometimes the lows look like sadness or irritability and feel like stuckness. Sometimes the lows look like not connecting with your partner, your child, or yourself. Sometimes the lows are just hard to describe, but they certainly don't feel good. We work together to provide you with the tools you need to move through your stuckness, your lack of connection, your difficulty communicating, or whatever it is that creates frustration or pain, in order to help you feel lighter, better, and maybe even hopeful.

I have been practicing as a licensed psychotherapist since 1983. I work with adults. I provide an understanding, caring and empathic environment to help you gain a better understanding of yourself and your circumstances. I utilize traditional “talk therapy,” which focuses on clarifying the nature of the problems. I help you to understand how your life-history contributes to your current situation, and to recognize and utilize your strengths in order to change negative patterns of thinking, behaving, and communicating.

As a clinician with over 25 years of experience, I guide my clients through their journey of self-discovery by providing a safe, private and non-judgemental environment. It is an interactive process of identifying areas of concern and potential roadblocks that may impede your ability to live a full and meaningful life. I work with individuals and couples ranging in age from pre-teen to older adults. The primary areas of focus are issues concerning; depression, anxiety, relationship issues, sexual molestation, grief & loss, health concerns, transgender, work & career issues, infertility, adoption & post-partum depression.

I work with adults, children and adolescents on a variety of issues behaviorally, mentally and emotionally. Most of my clients at the moment are victims of abuse and neglect and suffer from the symptoms associated with PTSD. Therefore I am most experienced when it comes to providing trauma informed care, integrating meditation, mindfulness, and dream tending into a whole-psyche, whole-society inclusive and grounded approach where no one is healed until we are all healed.

Therapy is a process of self discovery that helps you understand yourself and resolve difficulties in relationships with others. I have been working with adults, teenagers, families and couples for over 30 years. I treat depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. I work with many couples. I see people who have been neglected and abused emotionally. I work deeply and personally with each person/couple to understand their fears and pain. I do my work with great involvement. I am very easy to talk to. I provide a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere that enhances positive change and increased self-esteem.

Hi, my name is Lucy. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My work is focused on trauma, understanding strong emotions and teaching people how to regulate them is my passion and specialty. I am passionate about the work I do and I’m dedicated to helping my clients achieve mental and emotional balance. I've worked with adults, elderly, and adolescents. I enjoy working with people of all ages to support them as they navigate challenging circumstances, adjust to changes, and fortify their bonds with their loved ones and in their personal relationships.

I work with adults of all ages, and couples. I have seen individuals who feel "something" is missing in their lives and are looking to find their path and passion in life. In both long-term and short-term therapy, we work connecting past issues when relevant to the present to understand why we make the choices we do. We also work to build tools to develop the life one wants to live.

Life is full of various transitions, both expected and unexpected. One can feel pushed to deny or resist these inevitable changes or can begin to take steps to learn, adapt, and adjust to them. I believe everyone has inner strengths that can be awakened in challenging times and therapy can work as a catalyst for change. I have been privileged to journey with individuals who learned to envision their desired lives and to find ways to fulfill them. I have also journeyed with those managing seemingly insurmountable challenges, steadily guiding them toward finding peace in the midst of challenges and eventually overcoming them.

Life can be HARD. Whether it's always been hard or there are more recent roadblocks, it f-cking sucks to feel out of control, unfulfilled, stuck, or unhappy. So let's talk about that. In our work together, we'll examine parts of your past, challenges in the present, and hopes for the future to create the life you want, while honoring your natural strengths and intersecting identities. Through both research-based techniques and being a real + approachable human, my goal is to help you find clarity and healing while creating meaningful and sustainable change.

Some people find their minds weighted down with overthinking, replaying difficult conversations, worrying, and trapped in self-judgment and criticism. They're often finding fault in others, and can find it difficult to feel connected and at home in relationships, feeling alone even when next to someone they know. Friendships and marriages suffer, and families can drift apart. Efforts to try to fix things don't work, and they're left feeling helpless, not knowing which direction to go, hiding their true emotions from the people in their lives.

I am passionate about working with a range of ages from teens to adults. All populations are can undergo transitional periods and stages of change that can cause anxiety and extreme stress. Some of my particular areas of interest are: grief, loss, relationships, trauma, attachment, depression, anxiety, substance use, grief, OCD, relationship conflict, and adjustment difficulties. I am EMDR certified and enjoy using this treatment approach to heal clients. Additionally, I enjoy treating athletes and people in the performance industry.

Are you exhausted from feeling trapped by constant stress and anxiety? Like you haven't taken a full breath today... Deepen your connection to life and light through psychodynamic therapy informed by the body mind connection. I work with clients in their late teens (15+) and adults with a variety of presenting issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, life transitions, self-esteem, chronic pain, and compounded trauma to name a few. As a neurodivergent queer therapist, I love serving the queer community and uniquely analytical community.

I'm a holistic eclectic therapist who works with adults and adolescents. Two seemingly opposite truths can exist at the same time which means while you want to focus on coping skills and changed behaviors in the present, it’s important to connect to a deeper self awareness: mind, body, spirit. Everybody is uniquely themselves so it's important that I work with the individual needs of each client by exploring the subconscious and root causes of emotional dysregulation and ineffective behaviors. I combine the use of evidenced based practices with a humanistic approach to provide an integrative healing approach.
