At times, emotions can feel all-consuming and get in the way of what we want or care about most in our lives. I use evidence-based practices to support children, teens, and young adults in coping with difficult experiences—such as anxiety, OCD, depression and behavioral challenges. I also provide parents with strategies to help their children experiencing challenges. My goal is to work with clients on building their strengths in facing difficult emotions and living a rich and meaningful life.

I also treat clients with depression, anxiety, stress due to major life changes, anger management and relationship issues.

Rebecca Lavine

How can you limit shame and blame? How can you deepen your relationships with the people who matter most? How can you take charge of your time, money, life? The answers to many of these questions are inside of you. Working with me, together we will start to identify ways you get stuck in feelings, moods, habits, and behaviors that limit you. Once we have a good idea of the triggers, we can start to shift your attitude toward yourself. Let's work together to focus on the best about you so you can

Ann Marie Dobosz

Yes, the state of the world right now is overwhelming. But to be honest, you've felt this way a long time: anxious, uncertain, despairing. Do you respond by trying to do everything perfectly, plan five steps ahead, never make any mistakes? Do you have a persistent feeling of "not good enough" that follows you from work to relationships to family? Is your mind often racing with thoughts about what you could have done better or how you disappointed someone?

I help individuals who are experiencing the weight of depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and grief. My clients often experience unpredictable emotional states, struggling with focus and daily decision-making. They may have physical symptoms, sleep disturbances, or lose interest in activities they once enjoyed. Many feel isolated by an invisible burden that others can't see or understand. My clients are ready to work with someone who truly understands and uses proven methods to help them recover.
