Are you eccentric, talented, and always challenging the status quo. I work with folx to redefine and reimagine the life they live and try to eliminate barriers within the self, community, and relationships to create the life you want. I work with adults to decrease anxiety and depression and move into your power. I specialize in queer, and transgender identities. I love working with folks in the non profit System or helping profession who are experience extreme burn out.

Sarah Farnsworth

I work psychoanalytically with patients who wish to more deeply explore and understand their internal world. Together we can create language for hidden, blocked, 'unthinkable' thoughts; name and reflect on unconscious conflicts; work through dreams; and build resilience.

Matthew Russell

My clients are usually artists, lawyers, and professionals who struggle with depression, anxiety, and / or bipolar disorder. They are often burdened with high stress, burnout, or creative blocks and have tried to help themselves but don't see the deeper changes they sought, so they reach out to me. My hope is that our work together will untangle what you're feeling and help you feel more content.

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.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode—you are not alone. Together, we will quiet the internal noise, build your capacity for the hard stuff, and reconnect you to a steadier, more rooted sense of self. I often work with clients navigating trauma, relational ruptures, and the emotional weight that comes with healing. Our work is about finding clarity, creating compassion, and expanding what feels possible.

Lucy Cotter

My couples and individual clients have many varied backgrounds, professions, and world views. I consider my clients to be the experts on their own experiences as they teach me about their unique histories, cultures, orientations, and preferences. As a fine artist, I often work with creative clients such as artists, writers, directors, musicians, and actors. I look forward to learning about you and your own lived experiences.

Online Therapy

Eric Katende

Reaching out for help is one of the most humbling experiences we can go through in life. In a world that is constantly pushing narratives on us based on race, gender, sexuality and/or dominant cultural beliefs, it is life-affirming to engage preferred narratives that support and empower our own values. In difficult times it is easy to feel misunderstood or lost, longing to reconnect with our own resources. My work aims for those reconnections.

Concierge Psychiatry | California + New York | Dr. Sheenie Ambardar, MD

Do you feel like you're trudging through life, weighed down by a constant sense of sadness & worry? Perhaps the joy you once knew has faded, replaced by a persistent feeling of being stuck. You're not alone. Millions of adults struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD, & an overwhelming sense of being trapped in a cycle of negativity. I understand the profound impact these conditions can have on your daily life. The relentless drain of energy and the crippling anxieties can be really difficult.

Mackenzie Lambine

Psychotherapy can provide much-needed relief from symptoms and promote well-being crucial to overcoming adversity and past traumas. My clients are usually high functioning on the outside, but in deep distress on the inside. We will bring this distress into the therapy room, where it is contained and observed. I see survivors of trauma, clients experiencing relationship issues, difficulty expressing emotions, men's issues, and those with postpartum depression.

Online Therapy

Rubin Khoddam

I strive to come from a place of compassion and empathy because, as humans, we all have patterns, messages, and lessons that show up in our lives. The more conscious and mindful we can become of these patterns, the more freedom we can have from them. My goal in therapy is to utilize evidence-based treatments to help you understand these themes so that you can gain the tools, insights, and skills necessary to live the life you want.
