Are there moments when you feel overwhelmed, tired of feeling stressed, anxious, and discouraged from life events that are out of your control? Maybe you have experienced a significant trauma or loss like a relationship ending, a job loss, a move, loss of financial security, or the death of a loved one? All life changes both positive and negative can throw you into grief, a state of disequilibrium, where you struggle to find a new normal or you experience difficulties in your relationships.

Becky McGinnis

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others around you? Do you feel unsure how to express your true self or live the life you want? As a Gender, Sex, and Relationship Diversity knowledgable therapist, I offer a supportive environment to address issues in life that may be holding you back. Sometimes it is our own beliefs about ourselves or our true potential that is our greatest barrier. Therapy can help uncover those barriers and help you learn skills for living an authentic life.

Natalie Feinblatt

Survivor of trauma. Struggling with addiction. Creative. Do at least two of these three describe you? If you're struggling to get sober, you're fearful about the impact sobriety might have on your creativity (and life in general). If you're in early sobriety, you're trying to gain your footing in a new landscape. If you're a trauma survivor, you're confused as to why your insight & sensitivity aren't helping you get to that light at the end of the tunnel.

Rachael Troy

I work with both individuals and couples who are hoping to grow and change out of the dysfunctional patterns that no longer serve them. Whether it be depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, or trauma, I help to build a secure and supportive therapeutic relationship to explore and work through these issues collaboratively and with respect for your courage for engaging in therapy. Its not always easy to face our pain head-on and to trust someone else to hold that space with us.

Naomi Duffy

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.

Cayla Minaiy

You put on a brave smile and say you’re fine when you know you’re not. You’re exhausted because you’ve been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You’re isolated because you don’t recognize the woman you see in the mirror. You’re confused because you’ve lost sight of who you are. Even the relationships you care most about are now draining you. All your duties just keep piling on and you’re forced to keep bearing through it. Therapy can help untangle life's messiness.

Omer Harari

I offer support for those who feel like they're carrying the weight of the world-maybe it's a past trauma, anxiety, or strained relationships. You could be wrestling with vulnerability, exploring identity in LGBTQ+ spaces, a couple striving for deeper connection, a creative looking to unleash your potential, or an expat navigating the challenges of living abroad.

Darcy Manav

Are you tired of feeling trapped by your past; struggling with the weight of childhood trauma, sexual trauma, complex PTSD or an anxious attachment style? Imagine breaking free from the chains of your experiences and embracing a future filled with greater security and inner peace. I specialize in empowering individuals to transform their trauma into triumph.

Online Therapy

Guadalupe A. Cesar Nunez

You are constantly on the go, juggling two or three things at the same time including the help you offer others because you can’t stop yourself. What will others say to your “No’s, what would they think of you? You fear their judgment. Sometimes, you just want to be left alone. You sometimes snap at people you love and then feel guilty. You don’t enjoy life like you used to. Where is the motivation you had before? I will help you feel more confident and have healthier relationships.

Dora Valencia

It takes great courage to take the first step in seeking support for past or current experiences. As a therapist, I use a collaborative approach to explore areas of concern and establish goals towards personal growth and change. In doing so, my goal is to provide a safe environment that is free of judgement when embarking on your journey of healing and self-improvement.

Sara Rotger

Are you struggling with feeling inferior; feeling superior; needing to be perfect; feeling you're a burden;  or people pleasing? When we grow up in difficult circumstances, we come up with these beliefs/ways of being as a way to help us feel a little more safe. As difficult as it is to hold these beliefs about ourselves, they somehow help us feel better. As we grow up, they create difficulties in our adult relationships.

Dr. Kathryn Williams

I am here to be a guide on this transformational journey to your big beautiful life. Do you have anxiety about 'getting it all done' or being perfect? Do you have depression feeling like no matter what you do, you are not good enough? On the outside, you look strong, competent, & like you have it all together. On the inside, you feel on the brink of falling apart. Let me help you flourish & embody your life.

Marissa Tunis

Life can feel overwhelming when you're weighed down by unresolved trauma, relentless anxiety, or the pain of grief. You might find yourself stuck in ruminations that keep you from moving forward—whether you're a high achiever or someone just launching - mental health issues hold us back from reaching our full potential. Navigating a painful breakup or struggling with people-pleasing, humans can find themselves in patterns they can’t seem to break. But great therapy is transformational.

Caroline Lockett - Corwell

Can you push through hard times? Sure - you always do. Life is challenging these days. But what if you can learn to feel really good, even when life is chaotic? What if reactivity, fear, guilt, shame, anxiety and depression wasn't your first go to? What if you could really be present in your life, work, and your relationships? My clients show up to create meaning, joy, peace, and resiliency in their demanding lives and relationships. They are engaged and work through the really hard things.

Laurel Roberts-Meese

Lawyers, executives, and entrepreneurs find support and understanding in my practice. You've got a lot going on; your relationship is strained, or your anxiety is increasing. Maybe you and your partner are experiencing higher levels of conflict or disconnect. Maybe you've experienced a recent loss or traumatic event. Or maybe you feel unsatisfied with your life, despite having "everything" you want. Whatever brings you to therapy, I'll be your engaged partner in working through it.

I have had the privilege of working with children, adults, couples, and families of diverse cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, religions, and gender spectrums. I love the work I do and find it fulfilling, meaningful and beautiful. I feel grateful for the people that trust in me and allow me into their lives. I seek to establish a trusting, accepting, and collaborative relationship with my clients to support them in navigating life's many challenges.

Lorraine Schwartz

I work with adults & couples from various communities who feel stuck, would like to learn new coping skills, heal & grow. While navigating relationship issues, life transitions or trying to understand why you are in pain it is healing to be seen, heard & accepted. I strive to create this in our work while helping you to connect with & understand parts of yourself you may have kept hidden. Areas also include improving communication, learning to process emotions & reactivity, boundaries & ADHD.

Sarah Segal

Have you noticed that it's in the places you are supposed to be most relaxed (meditation, vacation, weekends, sleep) that your mind feels louder than ever? It might feel like the idea of letting your thoughts go is meant for “normal” people and that does not include you. Maybe you stand guard to keep yourself from your worst case, as if your attention to your thoughts keeps you from descending into unimaginable fear. I can help you sift through the noise and regain your confidence in yourself.
