Jane Leung

Childhood trauma, abusive relationships, car accidents. All of these are traumas that can have a lasting effect on clients. Often those effects are both psychological with a physiological. My practice focuses on helping to untangle those psychological and physiological effects of trauma. My training and specialization is in different treatment modalities for trauma and somatic attachment theory. By working on both the body and the mind together, it is possible to heal past traumas.

Jennifer Russo

Watching your child struggle in school and not knowing why or how to help can be an incredibly stressful situation for the entire family. I strive to support learners of all ages in uncovering the causes of difficulties with learning, behavior and/or social functioning to support with diagnoses, intervention, and creating a plan for your child to be successful.

David S. Wu

I support my clients in honoring their unique identities, pay attention to their present moment, their bodily and minds states with presence and kindness (a simple working definition of mindfulness). My clients, in turn, can move lovingly towards their current struggles, mend and heal, clarify and envision, and grow and root in wisdom. They can also develop loving relationships with their chronic symptoms which can include: grief, stress, anxiety, depression, focus/attention, anger, etc.

Felecytie (Fey) Rosen-Hanson

When you are not sure if it is you or them. When you know things are suppose to be a certain way or you believe they are but you do not fit that. If you are just not sure what to do next to work with the anxiety from this last year. You just want to be heard. Lastly if you have grief or trauma that just is too much for you to hold yourself. If you are having a baby or had a baby and things are not the way you thought they would be. These are my client the people I seek to work with.

Valerie Keim

Women, everyone thinks you have it all together, but inside you know differently. Anxiety hits at the worst moments. A rude coworker or a nasty comment from your spouse can zap you. At work you get drained when you want to speak your mind. At home your relationship isn’t as fulfilling as you’d like, but you don’t have the confidence to rock the boat. I help women just like you rediscover their strength and intuition and live bigger, more powerful lives.

Julie Levin

I work with people who are over-achievers and over-givers. These are strategies we use to feel needed, to ensure a sense of belonging. But the price we pay for these behaviors is high. When our value is determined by winning the approval of others, it's always precarious - because people are moody and difficult.

Tessa Barrows

We are all moving at an accelerated pace these days at work and home which can lead us to lose our sense of self -- connection with ourself and others. Relationships suffer due to the inability to set limits and boundaries, or express needs and feelings in a way that can be heard. Many of my clients of all ages seek support with navigating life transitions, relationship issues, daily stress and anxiety, and releasing shame, self-doubt and negative beliefs like "I'm not good enough."

Francesca Battaglia

I enjoy working with individuals and athletes that need support in their lives. There will come a time when life throws you some curveballs.

I have worked with clients on improving communication, increasing self-awareness, motivation, coping skills, reducing anxiety, depression, process life transitions, and current life stressors.

Danielle Horne

Want to improve how you manage your relationships? Want to survey the relationship before you say "I do"? Maybe you're overwhelmed by stress or struggling with your inner critic. Are there family issues or childhood wounds you'd like to address? I want to help you. Let's work on it together.

Victoria Miller

You’re struggling. Anxiety brings overwhelm, stress, avoiding the things you most want to do. With depression there’s little motivation, lethargy, and if you are able to force yourself to do something you feel like you’ll end up regretting it. You want to be able to do “normal” things without struggling through it, without feeling like you don’t fit in. You want to have a great life, close friendships, a secure foundation with a loved one.

Anh Plasencia

I believe we all inherently carry unique internal strengths necessary to live well. Sometimes it is hard to realize those strengths when we feel overwhelmed, which causes us to lose sight of our ability to move forward. My goal is to help you reconnect with the qualities you already possess and gain insights into your defenses, patterns and strengths.
