Yoojin Nam

I work primarily with men who are looking to grow in their self-awareness and reach their greater potential in work, relationships, and personal life. I specialize in helping people manage anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I also encourage clients to explore the past, not so that they can get stuck there, but so that they can better understand and address the problems of the present to pave the way for their intended future.

Julianna Taillon

Are you struggling to cope with life transitions? Many of us are experiencing significant anxiety due to changing work environments, parenting children who aren’t in school or attempting to navigate the changing social conditions. Are you feeling stressed by a traumatic event? Perhaps you are experiencing a divorce, have family conflicts or are alone as an empty nester. These circumstances can impact your connection with family, colleagues, and most importantly, the relationship with yourself.

Tatiana Itskowitz

I typically work with clients navigating identity, impacts of trauma, cultural expectations, and life transitions. You may be facing relationship challenges or adjusting to shifts in your personal or professional life. Within the work I incorporate an exploration of how systemic issues impact personal well-being and focus on helping clients find self compassion and agency.

Heather Iannone

My LGBTQIA2S+ clients are acutely in tune with authenticity. At times, this quality can cause life to feel heavy and overwhelming. The worry, stress or fear can cause folx to feel stuck. The things that once helped, no longer work. Many of my clients have experienced depression, anxiety and trauma. Our journey together can help navigate these things and create a map for what is next.

My ideal client is ready to explore their healing journey, seeking compassionate, nonjudgmental support to reclaim their voice and self-worth. Let’s work together toward growth, resilience, and empowerment.

Imagine a world where you like who you truly are at the core. A world where you no longer worry about the judgement of others. This is that door. I invite you to walk through it together. This is psychotherapy for adults who are looking for longevity in therapy and longing to heal the origin of their pain; for those in search of completely changing their life. When you're tired of being tired and have tried other options that seem to come back to the same end, this is the beginning of peace.

Shelly Crosby

You're exhausted, overwhelmed, and tired of feeling anxious and on edge all the time. You've thought about calling a therapist, but you're worried that no one can understand what you're feeling or what you've been though. You think you should be able to handle it all on your own, but things aren't getting better. Deep down, you know that it is time to ask for help. Even if you've felt this way for a very long time, it is possible to feel better... You don't have to do this alone.

Shavonne James

Many of my clients are over-functioning in their lives and have the underlying belief that their worth is tied to their usefulness and achievement. They often struggle with extreme guilt and approval-seeking so I focus on nurturing who they are as a person, outside the roles they perform. I work from a humanistic perspective and help my clients feel more confident in their desires and boundaries to gain a secure sense of self and build more fulfilling relationships.

Allison Young

Many of the individuals and couples I work with come to me because they are feeling emotionally and physically out of touch with their partners. My practice mainly focuses on helping dissatisfied partners communicate effectively and feel more seen, heard, and understood in the relationship. I work from a relational-cultural perspective, aiming to understand each person within the larger systems they exist in, and helping to bridge the gaps in communication by getting to the root of conflicts.

Adrina Wilson

I have the privilege of supporting a diverse range of individuals facing various life challenges, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral issues, marital conflicts, trauma, parenting dilemmas, LGBT family therapy, life transitions, LGBT couples therapy, grief, and substance use. My extensive experience spans county mental health, private practices, and school-based settings, allowing me to connect deeply with people from all walks of life and diverse cultural backgrounds.

Heidi De Leon

My clients want someone who will meet them where they are at and sometimes, that's a complicated space and that my friend is Ok! Life did not give any of us a handbook and a manual with clear directions for how to handle things, and to be honest the books out there seem to be created with someone else's vision. You can write your as you go! My clients will appreciate the safe space and gentle challenges that arise in therapy.

Duane Osterlind, LMFT, CSAT

People who come to me are looking for answers. Often they feel like they are at their wit's end and don't know what to do to get the things they want. I help them create a path forward with clear steps they can take to save their relationship or overcome the challenges they are facing. They create a forward path with concrete steps they can make today.

I know it can feel overwhelming at this moment, and you may not even be sure you want to reach out for help. I want you to know that I understand what you are going through and that this is a nonjudgmental place to start healing yourself and your relationship. Reach out to me today!

Barbara Christian

Have you suffered the trauma of being betrayed by an intimate partner? The act of betrayal can shatter your confidence and rattle the very foundation that you have built over time. You can feel like you are constantly on edge and overwhelmed, not know what step you need to take next. These can be post-traumatic stress. The overwhelming emotions it brings up are difficult to manage alone, but with someone who understands what you are feeling by their side, they become easier to work through.

Morgan Sheldon

I have particular passion for serving those with complex body relationships, who want to understand their ADHD or autism better, who crave support as they deconstruct their spiritual histories, who are frustrated by vague therapy answers, who fear they are "too much" or "too different". Overall, those who want to find the beauty in the darkness rather than denying the darkness, and who want to sit crooked and talk straight.
