I work with those who are concerned with interpersonal relationships and how they are related to or influenced by our earlier experiences. Therapy requires honest self-reflection and some desire for change, perhaps less so initially. Hopefully, clients with more conflictual relationships must be able to "what was my role in this?" and to expect for themselves a renewed energy to go about the change they so desire.

Miriam Chor Freitas

My practice specializes in adolescents, adults, coupes and groups using a holistic approach to mental health and wellness. As a multicultural therapist, I truly appreciate and enjoy diversity and have always been surrounded by people from all walks of life so my goal is to start where you are and make you feel welcomed and safe to learn, grow and allow me to be a part of your healing process.

Stacy Bonds

I value working with folks facing all kinds of difficulties, but specialize in working with anxiety, depression, PTSD, sexuality and gender issues. I have a passion for walking alongside people in the midst of struggle. When you come to therapy, it's like you are trying to climb a mountain. I am not at the top of your mountain but, rather, am on another mountain, offering a different perspective, pointing out potential dangers, and helping you find the most effective path along your journey.

Do you desire to have a healthier relationship? Therapeutic tools and support can and will help, and I will provide support to take your life back.

My clients are transitional age youth through older adults typically seeking support around concerns with their relationship with food and body. We may also be exploring relational difficulties, mental health concerns such as anxiety or depression and experiences of trauma. If you have been struggling with chronic dieting behaviors and frustrations around body size/shape, therapy is aimed at challenging diet cultured and weight stigmatized beliefs and develop a body neutral stance.

Loreine Callejas

I specialize in working with AAPI/BIPOC youth and adults who are ready to unpack their “Pandora’s box” and finally tell their unique story in order to learn from previous experiences, let go of messages and patterns that no longer serve them, and then reconstruct a multicultural identity and life that feels more aligned to the future they want for themselves. I also provide trans-affirming therapy for the LGBTQIA+ and gender non-conforming community.

Abi Weissman

My ideal client is trying to finally be who they want to be and they are struggling to figure out how to help themselves balance their gender identity, sexual orientation, values, religious identities, family situation, friendships/chosen family, along with the rest of their life. They want a clinician who will facilitate their learning about feeling their best self, whatever that means to them.

The journey to motherhood can be overwhelming for many reasons. Are you struggling with scary thoughts, sadness, rage or overwhelm during pregnancy/postpartum? If you've experienced a traumatic birth or if you’re riding the uncertainty of an infertility journey, you may feel robbed of the “normal” experiences of motherhood you hoped for. You feel like you're about to fall apart at any moment. But one thing is for sure: you're ready to feel calm, hopeful and confident. I can support your journey.

The journey to parenthood is a road of ups and downs. Are you pregnant or postpartum and feeling stressed and overwhelmed with this transition? Maybe you experienced loss with has you nervous for the future. Maybe things didn't go as expected during birth and things don't feel right now.

Asking for help is hard; I'm glad you are here.

Roselyn "Roe" Romano

People come to therapy to feel better. Period. Anyone brave enough to take that step deserves a safe space to unburden their fears, discuss the problems they are faced with, share their story, and be heard, seen, and understood. Everyone’s reason for starting therapy is unique to them. If you are tired of feeling weighed down by anxiety, over-thinking, or self-doubt then you are in the right place.
