Leland van den Daele

My clients seek self-knowledge and through knowledge, mastery of their lives and relationships. Self-knowledge entails review of the significant influences on one's life which include personal history during childhood and youth. Through this examination, deep well springs of frustration and desire, fears and hopes, are illuminated. To know oneself is to know one's basic attachment style and the often invisible frameworks applied to self and relationships. No cookie-cutter approach fits all.

Paula Mierzejewski

Ashley Grant

My clients tend to be individuals who struggle to advocate for themselves in relationships- whether they be work, romantic, familial or friendly. They tend to put other people's feelings before their own. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, or both. I work with a lot of people who experienced emotional neglect in childhood, and/or self centered parents, and/or very oppressive home environments.

We work with all aspects, The body with all its wisdom and symptoms, psyche and and it’s deeper longings and truths, and mind, our amazing brains that have been shaped by past experience and can be reshaped toward where we are and what we need in life now. Alleviating symptoms is the first step, but learning how to uncover, receive, use and grow from our authentic needs is the longer goal. My clients start from a wide variety of backgrounds with all kinds of symptoms.

Danielle Saporta

The teenage years are a time of transition, exploration, and identity formation. Teens are bombarded with expectations from school, friends, and the internet around who they’re supposed to be and how they should fit in. The pressure to define oneself and make decisions about who they are and what the present and the future hold can be overwhelming, to say the least. Teens need to feel they can safely explore all of the the trials and tribulations that come with being a young person today.
