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.

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.

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.

Online Therapy

Craig Mead

People typically come to therapy to improve themselves, their relationships, or both. I can help you work through and understand the mental and emotional root causes of your thoughts, feelings, fears, and anxieties. Sometimes, we must reexamine long-held beliefs to see if they still serve us. I can help you understand yourself and others better, deconstruct stressors, and build resilience in the face of difficulty. We'll harvest the past for wisdom but keep a moving forward future orientation.

I help people learn to forgive themselves for not being 'perfect' through eclectic evidence based modalities while also incorporating psychoeducation and lived experience – learning to give yourself the grace you deserve as well as increasing the ease with which you healthily cope with the stressors of life; To learn to create space for yourself and gain a sense of self acceptance and self actualization. I engage with you conversationally to create movement and change towards a healthy outcome .

Ellie Schwartzman

You want to connect, but too often your efforts end with feeling more alone. There are many miscommunications and hurt feelings. You’re trying to be authentic – but it feels like you’re not heard - not really seen. The last thing you want is to set yourself up to be hurt again. Your plans and interests are little comfort when you feel so isolated and disconnected. Know that this is not how it has to be. You can have the relationships and experiences you want – not settling for what is available.
