Abbie Papanicholas

I see clients of all ages. I help my clients navigate their lives and find meaning and purpose. I see clients experiencing anxiety, depression, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, life transitions and grief. I often work with high-achieving student populations and understand the nuances of living in these types of environments.

Ryan Johnson

Are you looking for a therapist who is willing to let you take the wheel during your journey to mental health? Maybe you have anxieties in general, about a specific situation, or even related to past experienced traumas? I am here to both listen to and hear your story.

Karla Rennhofer

Clients whom I’ve worked well with are often experiencing issues such as relationship problems, work stress/burnout, life transitions, low self-esteem, emotional abuse/neglect, childhood trauma/injuries, work/secondary trauma, anxiety, depression, and self-sabotaging behaviors. I've worked with creative people, such as writers and actors, to help bring their work to fruition. I also work with people in the medical/mental health/health fields, and those that work in high-tempo environments.

Aderonke Oshibajo, DNP, PMHNP-BC

Thank you for considering me as your partner in health. In my practice, I strive to foster a nurturing environment where mutual understanding is the cornerstone of our partnership. I am deeply committed to a holistic care philosophy that acknowledges and respects the intricate tapestry of physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual aspects that make you unique.

Samire Qosaj

Are you an immigrant or a first-generation American navigating the intricate intersection of culture, religion, and identity? I am a first generation Muslim American. Albanian is my first language, and I am happy to work with clients in Albanian. English is my second language. I have tackled my own issues around identity with religion and the western world, and continue to do so as I navigate my own intersectionality.

Osvaldo Alcaraz

Maybe you’ve been exploring your queerness, questioning whether you might be neurodivergent, or facing internal conflict between how you identify and its intersectionality with your familial, cultural, and/or religious values. Perhaps you’ve experienced religious trauma and are looking to incorporate religion back into your life. No matter what you find yourself navigating, I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m glad you found me.

Amy Springer Robinson

Maybe you have been living with depression and anxiety or feeling outcasted in life for as long as you can remember. Perhaps you're an adult who was recently given or self-diagnosed as neurodivergent. You could be an individual or couple seeking out new ways to build and maintain healthy intimacy or looking to explore your varying personal and sexual identities. No matter what brings you to therapy, I firmly believe that human connection is at the center of each of our lived experiences.

Caitlin Ruby Miller

Are you ready to build a more authentic life for yourself in 2025, one that reflects your growing sense of who you are?

I utilize an eclectic style tailored to each client, with experience in creating lasting, meaningful changes for folks who have previously had difficult therapeutic experiences or are new to therapy.

Margaret Shouse

The ups and downs of everyday life can not only cause you uncertainty and exhaustion but can also make individuals feel stuck with what to do next. This can lead to us doubting our self-worth and our ability to live a more fulfilling life. As a therapist, I am here to meet you where you are at in this moment. I want to lend you a listening ear and provide you comfort in knowing that you have my full support.

Katherine Work

I am especially helpful for people who struggle with anxiety or self-esteem issues. If stress management matters to you, then I’m your gal. To me, it is important that therapy is not just about talking: it is also about taking action. You are dealing with specific problems. We will try specific approaches to work on them while learning and practicing adaptive strategies that you can utilize for the rest of your life.

Andrew Sutherland

Therapy can be helpful as you navigate life’s everyday stressors, a difficult part of your history, past or ongoing trauma, or any feelings or circumstances that cause you pain or suffering. Therapy can also help you learn self-trust, build loving relationships, find ease in your mind and body, and move towards a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

Miranda Mihalic

Do you feel stressed and overwhelmed, as if you're pouring from an empty cup with a full plate to navigate? Do past experiences come to mind intrusively, causing you to feel dysregulated and making it difficult to trust others? Or maybe you're going through a transitional period and are realizing the tools that once served you are no longer for your benefit. You are not alone. You deserve to have a space where you are in control to process and allow the answers within to surface and guide you.

Jessica Ryan, Psy.D.

When we find ourselves held back or stuck in life, it can be difficult to see another way. We may go through the motions of each day, but know deep down that we feel unhappy, anxious, vulnerable, scared, and hurt. Our history, identities, and relationships are key to understanding why we feel stuck, and how we can feel free. I am committed to helping you feel free to be your authentic self, to choose what you want in life, and to let go of or make peace with the things that no longer serve you.

I understand how overwhelming mental health struggles can feel, leaving you lost, alone, and unsure if anyone truly gets what you're going through.

I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life changes. Let’s work together to create the change you’re seeking.

Summer Stewart

Imagine having a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I’m passionate about supporting women—especially Black and Brown women—who feel overwhelmed by stress, weighed down by self-doubt, navigating trauma, or stuck in difficult relationships. If you’re carrying the heavy burden of expectations, past pain, or the pressure to always be strong, this is a space where you can finally set it down and focus on healing.

Jennifer DiCostanzo

My ideal client is someone who is wanting to make changes and appreciates a direct, but empathetic approach that will sometimes include humor. As a therapist, I will not give you advice but rather help you identify maladaptive patterns, coping skills, behaviors, etc. and work with you on changing those things that are a barrier to happiness and contentment. I believe my clients are their own experts and as such, believe they should drive their treatment and their goals.
