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.

Jillian Luz

I find that my clients come to treatment when they have arrived at a life transition- be it loss of relationship, job, death of loved one, or other life shifts, and are ready to process their emotions. My clients often want to see and feel positive change and growth and are ready to do the work it may take to experience change. Openness to exploring past trauma that may be impacting current life functioning is often crucial to growth in the work we will embark on.

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.

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.

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.

Hilya Tehrani

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and their families with expertise in autism, ADHD, and anxiety. I have worked extensively with children who exhibit behavioral challenges and collaborate with parents to implement positive, evidence-based strategies to promote their child's emotional-regulation skills. I offer therapy and assessment services.

Viridiana Rodriguez

I applaud you for taking the first step towards in your healing journey. Life can throw us some unexpected challenges, yet we have the power within to overcome them. Perhaps you are currently struggling with relationships, family of origin dynamics, unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, anger, or feelings of self-doubt. I am here to validate your experience and help you navigate these challenges.

Jimmy Huynh

I often work with adults who are struggling with life transitions (i.e. college, adulthood, relationships, etc.) that create anxiety and depression. These struggles can make you feel guilty, ashamed, directionless, and self-critical. It is my passion to help you find meaning and purpose in navigating these fierce waters to be your true self.

Brian Benjamin

The clients I work with are diverse. My work with children often includes engaging in play-based interventions as well as integrating the larger family unit into treatment. When engaging with older clients, I assist them by coming into contact with parts of themselves to ultimately identify and pursue their goals. My clients benefit from various therapeutic approaches to gain insight and awareness about their present selves from their past experiences and relationships.

Joanne Royer

Those that know you think you have it all together. But there's a disconnect between what they see and how you see yourself. If you knew how to put to use and implement all those tools and tips and tricks you’ve learned from all those webinars, podcasts, workshops and self-help books you’ve already invested in, you wouldn’t be on my website. You are here because you know what’s NOT working and you want help on the “how-to’s” to step into where you want to be.

Natalie Moore

I do my best work with creative millennials looking to overcome the challenges of living with anxiety. I take a holistic approach to psychotherapy blending Western psychology principles with Eastern philosophies of healing. Clients leave my office with more clarity, ease and emotional resilience.
