Having it all can be stressful. Balancing work, relationships, self-care, and family with limited time and resources can be overwhelming and lead to guilt and shame. I work with professionals seeking work-life balance & navigating career transitions. I also have a specialization in helping working parents who are striving to facilitate supportive family dynamics. As a counseling psychologist, business owner, and parent, I offer personalized strategies to help individuals achieve balance, conquer career challenges, and navigate the complexities of parenthood with confidence.

Hi! My name is Katie Kalina, a licensed clinician with over 6 years of experience. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard and healed, and that as your therapist, it's my job to meet you exactly where you're at. I have worked with individuals and groups of all ages, from children to teens and adults through anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, body image issues, relationship issues, and anger management.

As a Licensed Psychologist, I have come to appreciate the human capacity to change unhealthy behavior patterns, work through incredibly difficult life circumstances, and create more meaningful and fulfilling lives. I appreciate that beginning therapy can elicit feelings of uncertainty and anxiety, and I recognize the strength that it takes to begin this process. I aim to acknowledge and foster these strengths during our work together, whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, or adjustment to major life changes.

Chances are therapy will help you learn tools to understand more deeply what you are trying to communicate about your emotional lives. We are all in relationships emotionally, whether at work, or school, or in your personal life. The communication in these relationships may break down. Here, you will learn tools for identifying the reasons why, and learn what can be done to improve the situation. Improvement will include deeper understanding and clearer communication with others.

Taking a step toward healing, growth, or change can be frightening, and is also an act of courage and self-care. I identify as an Asian American, Pakistani, second-generation immigrant Muslim woman and a social justice-oriented therapist. I offer a warm, compassionate space while presenting my authentic self, hoping to foster your capacity to do the same. I am committed to cultural sensitivity and I attend to issues of identity, power, privilege and culture. I utilize an integrative approach that draws from multicultural/feminist, relational, mind-body based, and cognitive-behavioral therapy to meet your goals and needs.

Hi there, I'm Sydney Spratte, a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach to treatment is rooted in a holistic perspective, incorporating the latest research to assist clients in achieving their unique treatment goals. With experience working with children aged 12 and above, youths, and adults, I've cultivated expertise in various therapeutic techniques, including mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, all underpinned by a commitment to trauma-informed care.

Whether you are an individual, couple, or family, I encourage reflection, curiosity, and learning to understand yourself and others with compassion, creativity, and calm. I welcome diverse ages, abilities, and sexual and gender identities and invite the complexities of culture, ethnicity, and race. My general approach is relational, attending to who and how you are in relationship to yourself and with others. I also enjoy working with trauma, grief, young and aging adults experiencing significant life transitions, and chronic illness.

Life stress, pressure and uncertainty can be overwhelming, and I’m here to help. In therapy, we can collaborate to develop your strengths, increase awareness of your values and needs, explore your emotions, and clarify your goals. By building a therapeutic relationship of warmth, compassion, and patience, I aim to help you improve your well-being and interpersonal relationships, at your pace. Together we will notice both situational and systemic messages that influence your concerns and work towards increased security and sustainable change. I value authentic communication and invite your feedback throughout the process.

Life can be hard – it brings us times of feeling alone, scared, sad, ashamed, and uncertain. This can hurt our self, our loved ones, and our ability to lead a fulfilling life. Therapy can provide us with more choices and more control when life becomes hard. As a counseling psychologist, I am deeply committed to providing an affirming and compassionate therapy space where you can explore who you are, where your life is, and take steps towards the life you would like to lead.

Under the pressures of today’s world, achieving life satisfaction and a sense of wellbeing can feel more difficult than ever. My goal is to help clients flourish in the face of life’s challenges. I am skilled in helping clients work through stress, anxiety, life adjustment issues, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. I am especially interested in helping with issues related to sexual orientation, identity exploration, sex and sexual functioning, and coping with stigma (e.g., racism, heterosexism, sexism, classism). Working with LGBTQ+ clients, college students, and young professionals is especially rewarding to me.

Have you found your life to be unmanageable?

I would like to help you feel better and have better quality of life by learn new coping strategies for your concerns and express yourself effectively.

Hi, I'm Colleen! I have been a Social Worker for the last 17 years working with adults, adolescents, children and families. I will bring compassion, reflection and a little humor during our time together.

As we go through life, we can find ourselves feeling “stuck” in patterns or situations that limit satisfaction and create barriers to achieving our goals. Sometimes these patterns develop slowly over time and sometimes circumstances shift rapidly – leaving us overwhelmed and unsure of where to go next. I believe the role of psychotherapy is to create an open and affirming space to explore patterns with compassion and curiosity, clarify values, and make progress towards living an authentic and fulfilling life.

Your relationship with food and your body has taken over your life, and you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and alone. You may be fed up with the shame, tired of having no control, or sick of feeling isolated. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to leave the eating disorder behind. You want to feel confident and in control of your emotions. Most of all, you’re ready to reconnect with yourself.

Dr. DeOliveira works with adult women to explore narratives that have restricted their capacities for thriving. She specializes in women’s health psychology, trauma recovery, mood stability, coping with anxiety, resolution of identity issues, and reproductive health concerns (i.e., pregnancy, postpartum, fertility issues). Her warm, accepting, and insightful approach allows her to connect with clients and support them in their journey to a better sense of self, safety, and well-being.

At times, we can become stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving, and feel held back by our doubts and fears. In therapy, I provide a welcoming and collaborative space to examine these experiences and build upon your strengths and skills to help you live the life you want. Together, we will identify your goals and values, expand your understanding of yourself and others, and work toward meaningful change. I specialize in working with young adults with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, identity development, academic and career challenges, and adjustment to life transitions.

Starting therapy can be a difficult step, and you may not know where to start. My goal is to determine that together and support a path of self-understanding and positive change. I enjoy working with adults of all backgrounds and identities dealing with anxiety, depression, identity development, relationship issues, adjustment, grief, and trauma. I also specialize in health psychology with a particular interest in women’s health. Through a warm, curious, and sometimes humorous approach, I strive to make genuine connections to understand client’s needs, hopes, and fears with the goal of self-awareness and transformation.
