Petya Randelova

My clients often feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, trauma, or relationship struggles. Many are survivors of narcissistic abuse, navigating complex relationships, or working through life transitions. I work with adults, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and nontraditional relationships, offering a space that is affirming, trauma-informed, and practical. If you’re ready to deepen self-trust, heal past wounds, and create meaningful change, I’d love to support you.

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.

Kevin Sprenkle

Much of my experience and expertise is in working with trauma and suicide, as they emerge in a variety of contexts. I also have experience working with issues of spirituality, mood and psychotic disorders.

Allison Scolaro

My clients usually are struggling with complex anxiety, phobias, OCD, or complex traumas and PTSD.

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.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Dawn Leprich-Graves

I work with clients who share a common desire: to break free from the grip of perfectionism & control, genuinely connect with others and live in-alignment with their values. Many of my clients are women who are self-diagnosed/newly diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD, and they're ready to embrace their authentic selves. In our sessions, my clients enjoy a blend of humor & compassion, creating a space where they feel understood and supported on their journey towards acceptance & fulfillment.

Joy Walsh

It always amazes me the complete turn around clients can do with the tools they already have, they just needed to discover, reorganize or sharpen a few things. Clients who typically seek me out are looking for a therapist who specializes in trauma, perinatal or postpartum issues, women's issues, anxiety or who can help support them in a significant life transition. I am excited to offer you a space to heal, learn and feel you are not alone.

Anne Adrian

Are you constantly feeling on edge? Maybe you’re juggling many responsibilities and it feels like there's never a moment to breathe. I get it: the racing thoughts, the overwhelming feeling that you're always “on” and never quite able to relax. It can be exhausting, and sometimes it feels like stress is running the show. Together, we’ll explore simple, effective tools to help you manage stress, regain your sense of calm, and take back control of your day-to-day life. You deserve peace!

Ana Anaya

Whether navigating the complexities of adolescence, the challenges of adult life, or the dynamics of a relationship, I am committed to guiding clients toward healing and well-being.

Lori Bolnick

My clients prefer telehealth services. Whether they feel more comfortable accessing therapy from home or have difficulty attending "in person" sessions because of chronic and acute health issues, my schedule allows for weekly appointments with little to no wait time. I always keep my caseload small to accommodate my clients needs, so they feel like they can access support whenever they need it. My PsyPact APIT allows me to provide support whether you are at home, away at college, or traveling.

Katie Gilly

Do you feel like your relationship has lost the connection that it once had? Have you found yourself struggling to be heard, understood and accepted by others? Do you find yourself in arguments with your partner that feel like the same one over and over again? If you have answered yes to any of these questions then you are not alone. I work with many clients who find themselves feeling stuck in life and their relationships without knowing what to do next.

Mark Sharp

Are you unhappy with the state of your relationship? Do you feel like you walk on eggshells and a battle could break out at any time? Or do you feel lonely and like your partner is just a roommate? Relationships are not easy and our intimate relationships can be the most difficult ones to manage. Fortunately, it is possible to restore a powerful connection and develop communication that makes you grow stronger rather than pushing you apart. I look forward to helping you rebuild your relationship

Amy Brinkman

Anxiety is exhausting and can feel completely overwhelming. I look forward to teaching you new skills that will lead to relief of these symptoms! OCD is an extreme form of anxiety, and there are tools that work including ERP therapy, mindulness and more. In addition, past unresolved traumatic memories are often the root of compulsive/obsessive thinking. EMDR therapy is a way out of this. I look forward to working together to find just the right tools for you.

Dwight Bejec

Do you often feel anxious, sad, or stuck? Maybe you're having trouble in relationships or with your family, dealing with the effects of a difficult experience, or going through a tough period. It could be that you're questioning your identity or facing challenges from societal or family pressures while trying to discover your true self. Life doesn't always have to be so difficult. I will support you where you are and guide you toward becoming the person you want to be.

Monika Breidenbach

You might feel stuck in a cycle of intrusive thoughts, worry, or compulsive behaviors, exhausted from trying to stay in control or avoiding anxiety triggers. You want relief—to feel calmer, regain confidence, and break free from fears that hold you back. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, OCD, panic, depression, or life transitions, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to build resilience, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change. Fluent in English and Polish.

Margaret Engel

Starting a healing journey takes courage and trust. Everyday life doesn't always provide the safety and support to discover our truest selves. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or major life changes, I am here to utilize your strengths and create a therapeutic environment that will best help you develop the skills to have a fuller life.

Erica Essary

People I work with are often overwhelmed with what is happening in their lives and feel they do not have the tools and/or the mental resources to get through these issues on their own. They may be dealing with anxiety or depression symptoms or both. People may also feel they are trying their best to be there for others, their work, or their education, and realize they are not showing up for themselves and their needs. I help people create boundaries in their lives and practice self-care.

Jeanette De Marshimun, LCSW

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, anger issues, grief, or general discontent and frustration, I am here to provide a warm and calm therapeutic environment to not only discuss but to overcome whatever may be affecting you.
