Brianna Halasa

I'm passionate about working with clients who have survived trauma, be it emotional, physical, or sexual. Your body remembers all you experienced and deserves the space to safely reprocess. I love working with children of immigrants navigating intergenerational family dynamics or cultural conflicts. Together we can weave your intersecting identities and values into the tapestry of your life. I also enjoy working with women affected by the patriarchal systems in which we are forced to exist.

I have also had the opportunity to work with adolescents and adults, and I am passionate about supporting individuals navigating LGBTQ+ issues.

Robyn Chao Phan

Many of my clients approach therapy because they have the experience of "getting by" up until a certain point. Maybe there has been a recent life transition that has led you to seek extra support. Maybe you've been able to do relatively well in life, but you've always felt different and as though there is more to unpack. Exploring current and previous patterns can help shed light on your experiences and guide you on where you want to go.

I'm an all inclusive provider, all are welcomed! My specialties are those who identify as LGBTQ, Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), individuals living HIV/AIDS, and marginalized populations/communities. Creating a safe space for special groups of people to share freely is the goal. Populations I serve: LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), Hispanic/Latinx, those living with HIV/AIDS, women and birthing people, men (especially of color), sex workers, and many more.

Empowerment, empathy, compassion, and trust are the pillars upon which I build a safe healing space for clients to overcome obstacles.

Emily Brenner

Do you often feel minimized and not heard? Do you put your own needs on the back burner? Are you still struggling with things you "should have gotten over by now"? Do you find yourself feeling "stuck", or making the same mistake over and over? I can help. In our work together, I can offer support and reflection, as we work together to break old patterns and build new ways to live. You have the power to navigate your life, and we are endlessly capable of growth and change.

Dr. Cynthia Giocomarra

Are you looking for a therapist that actually "gets it"? Do you feel anxiety first thing in the morning, randomly throughout the day, or just before bed? Do you experience fear or panic reconnecting with friends, family, and coworkers since the pandemic hit? Are you in the process of (or thinking about) coming out and feel unsure of how to go forward? Are you wanting to restructure your life in a more meaningful way but not sure what your new life can look like? I can assist you. Let's talk.

Mark Beauregard

I help children, teens, adults and families work through issues related to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, coping with chronic illness, domestic violence, trauma, divorce and relationship transitions, addiction, parenting support, bullying and school related stress, opposition and anger. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I will be accepting, flexible and non-judgmental, whether you're exploring questions around gender identity and/or sexual orientation, or just need someone who gets it.

Are you struggling with worries, frustrations, and anxiety? Are you noticing it's hard to get clear on who you are or what you want? Are you experiencing challenges in your relationships with friends, coworkers, or romantic partners? I'm here to help you explore these concerns and more. I have special experience with folks in the LGBTQ+ community, and also with youth and young adults. In addition, I support couples and relationships, and people across different identities.

Katie Hauser

I work closely with adults of varying age and life experience - particularly those clients who are struggling with anxiety and depression, those experiencing relationship difficulty, identify as LGBTQIA+, are participants in non-monogamous and polyamorous, kink and alt-sex communities, and those who are simply looking for a practitioner whose approach is non-judgmental and genuinely sex-positive.
