Many of us are just too busy to take care of ourselves: jobs, kids, etc can leave us all breathless at the end of the day. We all tend to put off things that aren't emergencies: low level anxiety, persistent sadness that just won't go away. Self care is important, it allows us not only to function better, but to feel better, to get more happiness and satistaction out of each day. My goal as a therapist is to help you find that sweet spot, where you can feel good about who you are.

Annette Holloway PsyD

I particularly enjoy helping young couples learn how to feel closer. Couples also struggle with the challenges that arise when one person has ADHD, Asperger's, or limited emotional expression. Adults may also feel like they didn't quite get "enough" as children, or that they are in some ways not "good enough" themselves, not lovable enough or special enough to form the friendships and relationships they want. I am passionate about helping people see themselves in new, more positive ways.

Robert Nemerovski. Psy.D.

If your anger, anxiety or ADHD interferes with your relationships, career, or well-being, it is probably time to get some experienced help.

Will Lipsenthal

I like to work with the present moment, I believe that the past impacts the present. My clients often notice an increase in liveliness, connection, or a better understanding of who they are and where they’ve come from. My approach allows us to work on a wide variety of issues from depression, transitions, loss, or trauma.

Heather Chamberlain

The goal of therapy is for children to learn strategies to help them manage their emotions through games, activities, and information and for parents gain an understanding of their child along with strategies to help the family feel better. I work with children birth to 18 and their parents, with a specialty in 0-5, trauma, and psychological and developmental testing.

Dr. Christine E. Dickson

Do you struggle with a mind that does not turn off? Do you overanalyze yourself and others? Do you have a critical inner voice? I can help you find the "off button" in your mind, no longer react to every thought and feeling that goes through your mind and learn to laugh at the voice in your head. Together we can achieve what seems impossible.

Ryan Gertz

There is so much talk of ADHD these days. And what's to show? I believe ADHD is not an attention-deficit disorder, rather it is struggle with time-perception, time management, and ultimately executive functioning. It is not that someone with ADHD doesn't know what to do to help themselves, they do, its just that they can not get through the steps to do it. So how do you treat this? well I'll start by saying its possible, yet potentially will take lifelong management, that can lead to mastery.

Scott Menasco, Ph.D.

Have you been wondering if you would benefit from talking with a therapist? Maybe you've had issues of chronic worry, depression, a recent life change or difficulty expressing yourself in your relationships. Perhaps you've been dealing with challenging behaviors of your child or teen. Therapy can help! I've worked with all of these issues and more, and I am confident that together we can work to help you develop more ease in yourself and your relationships.

Angela Luna

If you need a breath, a break, the fog lifted from an anxious and worried mind, you're in the right place. You may be dealing with painful, negative thoughts, berating yourself constantly, & choosing unhealthy relationships. Or perhaps you're ready to feel uplifted, joyful, and connected to your natural creativity, but don't know how to get there. Even if you’ve done the work, there may be deeper layers to explore. Your mind, body, and spirit have a natural capacity to heal these deeper parts.

Lindsay Elizondo

I specialize in working with women, young adults (~18-25), relationship issues, depth work, LGBTQ+, and religious harm/trauma. I really enjoy working with people who are sensitive or a bit countercultural, and helping women examine the impact of sociocultural norms and expectations (e.g., to not take up space). Much healing can be had in challenging these messages, reconnecting with your body and emotions, accepting yourself as you are, and re-centering your values and your voice.

Nicole Ohebshalom

I work with clients that are curious and want to learn more about themselves. In my practice I work with individuals and couples that are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, sexuality challenges, immigration, family dynamics, ADHD and women’s lifecycle issues.

Leah Platoni

I welcome preteens, teens, and adults of all sexual orientations, gender identities, ethnic, religious, immigrant, and socio-economic backgrounds. The goals of therapy are honorable- to improve our relationships (with ourselves and with others), to decrease symptoms and heal pain, and to flourish more, finding more fulfillment in our lives. Our resilience can be supported by connecting to community. I hope to have the honor of being by your side through whatever is occurring for you right now.

Elizabeth Diamond

Together we will enter into a relationship that provides safety and support for investigating the underlying causes of distress. I am curious about how your mind works and how your experiences have shaped who you are today. I am even more curious about the parts that you are protecting, which are likely bringing you to therapy in the first place.

Brown Therapy Center

We work with a diverse population of adult individuals, couples, and special interest groups who may be struggling with any number of mental health challenges related to anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, and substance abuse, among others. We are committed to providing culturally competent care across the spectrum of age, race, gender, sexuality, religion, and background.

David Brown

I am uniquely skilled in engaging the struggles related to trauma, life transitions, and the LGBTQ community. Many of the men and women who choose to work with me are in the grips of anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, or relationship challenges. Many are highly motivated professionals that are self-reliant and achievement-focused, but often struggle with self-defeating thoughts and patterns that keep them feeling stuck.

Nadia Thalji, Ph.D

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, stress-related work issues? Perhaps difficulties with relationships, cultural differences, lack of belonging? Having a supportive and culturally sensitive psychotherapist is essencial to work through challenges. I can help you identify, understand, and transform the patterns that are no longer serving you in a positive way. I look forward to help you achieve a sense of well-being that will ground you in the present and determine a better future.

Adriana Popescu

What if there is nothing wrong with you? What if you never had to judge you ever again? My specialty is inviting clients to their personal greatness and success; clearing the energies that don’t allow for achievement, creativity and possibilities. My clients tend to be the seekers, the highly creative and the dissatisfied dreamers of the world who want more out of living. If you have ‘been there and done that’ and know more is possible, I would be an ideal therapist for you.

Dian Grier

I am a very open minded therapist and work to help people become authentic and feel comfortable expressing themselves fully. I help look at life from a broader perspective, which helps with anxiety, depression and other issues. I have worked with many clients who live alternative lifestyles. I enjoy my work and seeing change over time. I have been told by many clients that I am easy to talk to and down to earth. I will offer you feedback on your issues and offer interaction.
