Evelyn DeLorenzo

As your therapist, I build on our overlapping or shared experiences as much as I welcome people in all walks of life. I facilitate a space for LGBTQ+, gender-expansive, neurodivergent, and consensually non-monogamous folks exploring their identities, emotion management, difficulties in interpersonal dynamics, and being an agent of change. I am excited to work with people of all genders, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.

Sylvester Merritt

My emphases are addressing mental health of marginalized groups, and understanding how culture should be respected and acknowledged in the therapeutic space. As I continue to work on obtaining my doctorate in psychology, my interventions and approach to treatment informs me how to customize the therapeutic space for each client and praise our differences while promoting inner healing. Creating emotional space and showing the power of it helps my clients narrate their lives once more.

Alexis Jenkins

Let's go on a journey of exploration together, where we can discover ways to create comfort, find stillness, overcome challenges, and develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and others. My practice focuses on working with those who may be navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, relationship issues, codependency, or self-esteem concerns. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck, I’m here to help you uncover insights and develop strategies that align with your goals.

Sarah Malavenda

In my work with individuals, I support those looking to address anxiety, stress management, trauma, gender, sexuality, and sex. As someone who lives with a chronic illness, I also personally understand the complexities of navigating the healthcare system. In my work with couples, I work with folks looking for support with relationship issues within monogamous and consensually non-monogamous relationships. I’m also passionate about meeting the unique needs of neurodiverse and LGBTQ+ couples.

Matthew Boltz

I work with adolescents and adults seeking support for stress, anxiety, autism, depression, relationship difficulties, life changes/transitions, LGBTQ+ and self-esteem. I specialize in supporting individuals who are experiencing challenges related to recent life changes, academic/work/professional stress, relationship stress, and any symptoms of the mental health concerns listed above that impact a person’s quality of life.

Amy Bicknell

When we feel most overwhelmed and stressed, we often find it difficult to prioritize what we value most. Our interests, our commitments, and the relationships most important to us often suffer when we are struggling. Therapy can offer us a space to reconnect with ourselves, and find a sense of peace and calm, allowing us to move closer to the people and areas of our lives we want. Therapy can help us enjoy life again the way we once used to.

Jennifer Warner

My clients are individuals living with anxiety, depression, and PTSD related to chronic illness and/or lived experience of violence (individual, community, intergenerational, historical) and are seeking a safe and compassionate space for tending to and processing the past, connecting to the present, growing skills, and healing. I specialize in working with those living with complex medical diagnoses (or multiple symptoms with no diagnosis), challenging prognoses, and "watchful waiting."

Ginny Nikiforos

I am experienced in providing Executive Functioning Skills Development with those diagnosed with ADHD and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder. I also specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for emotional and mood regulation with adults, and inference-based CBT (I-CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) for those with OCD.

eric bjorlin

For my clients, some aspect of who they are does not align with the expectations of them, bringing up anxiety, depression, and other stressors. Clients bring in issues related to masculinity, communication, relationships, identity, self-esteem, and polyamory. They may also feel limited or overwhelmed by larger issues outside of their control, such as the environment, capitalism, or other oppressive structures. They want to live more confidently but don't know how to do it on their own.

Casey Tangonan

I am passionate about working with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and gender-expansive clients. If you are seeking a place to work through depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, body image issues, or general "stuckness," I am here to provide a safe, judgment-free environment for you to explore your capacity for healing and growth.

Abbey Monsalud

I'm a decolonial art therapist who loves to work with creative adults who are navigating identity, neurodivergence, and relationship issues.

Noopur Shah

My clients are vibrant folks; queer and trans kids/adults of color.

Dulce Davalos

As a marriage and family therapist is affirmative of all relationship configurations and identities. I am passionate about working within the LGBTQ+ community and non-monogamous folks who are looking to heal, restore love, and find new ways of connection. I practice from trauma informed and harm reductive relational-cultural practice.

Susan Lloyd

Things have been tough lately for our community. But we come from a long history of survivors and thrivers. Are you wondering what changes (in action & mindset) could benefit you? What additional support and resources could help? I look forward to learning more about you, your life experiences & strengths. Then we can resource additional insights & tools to help you feel more grounded and set up for growth as you go forward.

Sam Rustum

Do you often feel overwhelmed by anxiety and perfectionism, feeling paralyzed by the pressure to get everything right? You may deal with a relentless inner critic that constantly makes you question your abilities and decisions, leaving you feeling like an imposter despite your accomplishments.

Amelia Styer

Life can sometimes feel like being in a car wash—things are coming at you from all sides, you can't see clearly through the suds...and, somehow you are stuck in place while being pushed forward at the same time! Times like these can be confusing, anxiety-provoking, and very stressful. Whether you are struggling with relationship challenges, career confusion, or feeling lost during a big life adjustment, I can help you make sense of things and find a clear path forward.

Anna Valianos

I provide trauma-focused individual and group therapy for adults. Typical concerns of the people I work with include managing the effects of traumatic experiences, relationship issues, intense emotions, and grief. Areas of special focus include supporting survivors of sexual violence and adults healing from the effects of child abuse and relational trauma in their families of origin including abuse, incest, neglect, and intimate partner violence.

Sheri Richardt

Therapy is a "no judgement zone". It is a confidential safe space specific to your individual needs. The majority of my clients are interns, working professionals, or healthcare providers. Many of us have experienced a disruption in our routines or relationships over the past few years. If you are like many of my clients you are anxious, depressed, or having difficulties finding meaningful connections. Taking the next step is easy - reach out for a free consultation. You are almost there.

Dr Catalina Lawsin

You’re done settling. You know you deserve more—more connection, passion, and fulfillment. You’re ready to stop feeling disconnected and take action. Whether it’s reigniting intimacy, reclaiming your sexuality, or breaking old patterns, I’ll help you create real, lasting change. If you’re ready for transformation and willing to do the work, we’ll dive deep, break barriers, and build the life and relationships you’ve always wanted.

Amy Markley

When your relationship is suffering, you're suffering. Sometimes, incredibly so. Maybe the person you used to feel so close to now seems more like a distant stranger. Maybe a betrayal has left you outraged and alone. Maybe all the fighting and miscommunication makes you wonder at times what you ever saw in your partner at all. My clients are couples, individuals and families who want to love each other more fully and strengthen their bonds.
