Above all, I love my work as a psychologist. This profession allows me to act as both scientist and artist, and I take joy from watching people evolve in their lives. Blending science & art, therapy is a unique process where we talk over events of your life, some in the distant past, and some happening currently.

How do you feel about seeking help, especially for your mental and emotional health? Do you think it’s a sign of weakness? As a psychologist, I see it as a sign of strength, courage, self-awareness and maturity. I work with my clients to identify what they’re needing in order for them to improve their lives. I help people find the ways to change and experience personal growth and healing. I support my clients as they discover new aspects of themselves, which can be a challenging but rewarding process.

I have had the privilege and honor of supporting clients from many circumstances and walks of life for over a decade. My therapeutic style is empathic, affirming and inclusive.
Abigail C Taubman
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Life is uncomfortable. For me, therapy ultimately boils down to radical acceptance and self-compassion. If we cannot access these core practices, we may continue to feel like we are walking upstream. Therapy is an opportunity for people to uncover a deeper understanding of themselves and the identities they hold. It is about embracing that oftentimes there’s nothing to “fix”, and instead our task is to slow down, notice and then exercise self-compassion. We live in a society that idolizes perfection at the expense of mental wellbeing. The mere practice of trusting this can be liberating.

Every human struggles, and every human deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported while finding their way to a healthy flow. Are you feeling disconnected? Your mental health may seem hard for others to understand, or even for you to understand. Maybe it feels overwhelming to question why you feel this way, or what's actually in your control to change. Maybe the things that get you through aren’t the healthiest for you, and you’re ready to try something different. I'm here to accompany and guide you, whether navigating life transitions, addiction, relationship issues, or managing depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, Bipolar, or ADHD.
Teru Judy Kanazawa
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, CHT
Verified
My practice focuses on relationship-building whether it be with a love interest, partner, immediate/extended family members, the workplace, etc. Whatever methodology (CBT, IFS, hypnosis and more) I use creates multi-layered assessment of response to crisis, trauma, separation, alienation, etc. In relationship we are challenged to explore identity, values, self-worth and sense of belonging that give you the tools to be successful. Included in the work are homework assignments and setting short-term and long-term goals. In this way profound and lasting changes can be made in a short period of time.

Robyn Roberts
Pre-Licensed Professional, ACSW, MSW

Reaching out for help can be one of the hardest things to do when you're struggling the most. What if no one understands you or you feel judged? How do you know you can trust them to take you seriously or care? I understand that these are natural fears when you're sharing the hurt and vulnerable parts of yourself. For this reason, my goal is to make sure you feel safe and heard by providing an empathetic and judgement-free space regardless of your background.

I am a psychotherapist with nearly 20 years of experience providing quality mental health care for clients of all ages. Are you experiencing symptoms of depression such as feelings of hopelessness, tearfulness, or an inability to enjoy daily life? Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, worry, or intermittent panic attacks? Do you have a history of trauma that haunts your dreams and affects your relationships? Has your child experienced trauma that is impacting his or her mood or school performance? Has family stress taken a toll on your children, your marriage, or yourself?
Jennifer Willemsen
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
All of our lives have been drastically impacted by the crisis the world is going through. There is increased fear surrounding all of the unknowns. Like a lot of people, you may be feeling lost, anxious, and uncertain. Even if you and your loved ones are safe, being at home 24-7 with your family brings extra stress outside the norm, while living alone could feel isolating and lonely. If you’re struggling more than usual with anxiety, depression, or stress right now you’re not alone. I’m here and I can help you (and/or your family) regain a sense of control over the discomforts you may currently be experiencing.
