Lauren Rodarte

Are you feeling worried or down and need help coping? Is your child or teen struggling with mood or behavior? These trying times have been difficult for so many, and I am here to help. Hi, my name is Lauren and I’ve been helping adults, teens, and children overcome personal challenges for 10 years. I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

Lauren Maher

I work with individuals who are experiencing trauma/PTSD, anxiety, overwhelm, grief, narcissistic abuse, and relationship issues, as well as those who are simply seeking greater self-awareness and insight. I often work with artists, creatives, and self-aware people who enjoy thinking outside the box. Additionally, I have worked for many years with the cancer community and I am aware of the unique challenges that cancer patients and their caregivers face during treatment and post-treatment.

Is your little one testing limits, rolling around on the floor in tears, yelling and screaming, and refusing to obey? You’ve come to the right place! Whether engaging directly in play therapy to build a secure attachment or using the extensively researched Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), you can join the ranks of parents that have learned how to enjoy and understand their children while setting limits and reducing stress and frustration in the family.

Natasha Hamlin

I have worked together with children, teens, adults, and families in multiple settings including community mental health, foster care, schools, and in private practice. Through my experience in these settings I have been able to help many different types of clients with a variety of issues. I use a collaborative approach so that together, we can explore challenges, and strengthen your ability to cope and problem solve in order to help you reach your goals.

Justin Wong

Life can often be stressful and challenging. You’re here because you’re dissatisfied with something in your life and feel stuck. It could be persistent anxiety, excessive sadness, a difficult memory, or a relationship issue. Perhaps it has been hard to gather the motivation to make positive changes in your life. Having better control over your mood can often seem hopeless, but you CAN make things better.

Chun Mei Lam

I am passionate about working with Asian Americans, children of immigrants/refugees, and people of color in addressing discontent in their present day lives. I understand how deep systemic problems, traumatic events, one's upbringing, and family issues can all contribute to uncertainty, stress, anxiety, and dis-ease. At times, it can become difficult to know our needs, use our voices, follow our dreams, or connect to our calm within. Therapy can help us reconnect to these parts of ourselves.

Ericka Logan Moreno

My clients are the perfect combination of moody/sarcastic with a heavy dose of dry/dark humor. They struggle to show up as their authentic self because they're burdened with feeling lost, stuck, and unworthy of happiness. They compare themselves to others, experience negative thoughts, low motivation and suffer from anxiety, depression, and unresolved trauma. Despite a guarded exterior, they yearn for someone to acknowledge their pain. Starting therapy has helped them process pain and thrive.

Molly Burrets

I work with couples and women - helping them to build healthier relationships and work on common painful issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, infidelity, trauma, transition to parenthood, perinatal concerns, infertility, sexual problems, difficulty communicating, past sexual abuse, and other stressors. Many of my clients are high achieving professionals in entertainment, art, law, finance, and sport that have challenges juggling work responsibilities with their roles in the home.

Dr. Christine Nazarian

If you've been feeling down, nervous, sad, worried, uncomfortable, or unconnected with life --- you may ask -how do we get out of this "funk"?-- I am here to help and create a space to honor your experiences, actively listen, and thoughtfully reflect. I will support you in practicing mindfulness skills, creative art therapy tools, kick-starting pro-active changes, and growing self-love (cause you deserve it! - YES, YOU!)

Darshana Lele

You've survived a lot in life, but struggle to feel like it's behind you. You are usually the one emotionally taking care of others, feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, & yet never feel good-enough. Have you been marginalized? Scared of having a 'target' on your back or afraid of being found out? That's lonely but as much as you love being around others, they drain you. If you are fed up of living for others, I am someone who wants to help you feel safe, be successful & most importantly, happy.

Anthony Bishop

Most of my clients struggle with thoughts and feelings (usually anxiety and guilt) that seem to feel intrusive, distressing, and require an urgent response. My clients will make mental or physical efforts to relieve the distress but can't find lasting relief. Many suffer in silence as thoughts become too difficult to talk about. Most clients respond well as my treatment approach is specific to the individual and not just a protocol or one-size-fits-all approach.

Christopher Schadt

Whether you find yourself feeling depressed, anxious, troubled by trauma or stuck in repetitive patterns of relationship, psychotherapy is a place to explore your past in order to live more fully and more freely in your present. The therapy relationship can be a safe place to explore distressing symptoms, painful emotions and difficult stuck points in order to more fully understand yourself, clarify your values and find peace within yourself, your relationships and your world.

Kyla Winner-Connor

I have worked with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, psychosis, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and more. I am certified in several modalities including CBT and IPT and integrate these with many other approaches such as mindfulness, self-compassion and somatic work. I also pull from concepts such as attachment theory, interpersonal and affective neurobiology, and the relationship between our thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Blake Barber

Whether you are experiencing anxiety about the future or depression related to current or past circumstances, do not give up hope! This may be the perfect time to begin to discover calm and contentment in your life and achieve your potential to be happy and fulfilled.

Leandra Soop

You maybe wanting more for your life, but you don’t know how to create the change and you don’t know where to start. You maybe feeling stuck and unable to make important decisions for yourself because you are bogged down by overwhelming feelings, the difficulties in your relationships and the demands to “keep up” in life. I am here to help you unpack some of the pain and worry so that you can live a more meaningful and connected life.

Allison Carter

Do you ever doubt yourself or shy away from activities that would make your life more fulfilling? Do you ever find yourself trapped by destructive habits that you can't seem to shake? Welcome. I am experienced in supporting individuals with trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, and depression, as well as new parents and individuals weathering difficult transitions or losses. I also have special insight into the specific needs of artists and individuals in creative and high stress careers.

Patricia Lamas Alvarez

Welcome to the beginning of your introspective journey! If you are here today you may find yourself in a moment of transition and change, coping with burnout, lack of motivation, sadness, anxiety. If you are in a relationship, you may find yourself feeling unappreciated, exhausted, misunderstood by your partner. You may feel you keep having the same argument over and over again, and are speaking “different languages”. I’m here to support you in re-establishing security and connection.

Dana Zaredini

I offer my clients opportunities to learn about self-care, mindfulness, meditation, and how to lessen the impacts of negative self-talk. I work with children, adults, and families. I help my clients learn to cope and heal from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, PTSD, trauma, and histories of abuse (sexual/psychological/emotional/physical). I also enjoys working with adult children of alcoholics, grief and loss, and caregiver stress.

Hilya Tehrani
