Saraa D. Lee
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Verified
You’ve worked hard to create a good life for yourself. Things are great… on the outside. But on the inside you are burned out! You've been trying to get better. Using techniques from self-help books, online courses and even
family
wisdom. You have even been to other therapists. Your symptoms might have gotten a little better, but you didn’t get the big relief and lasting change that you were looking for. You need a safe space where you can feel understood. You want to a therapist who deeply listens to you and can handle everything you need to say, even things that seem really overwhelming or heavy.
Lilit Arutyunyan
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I integrate cognitive behavioral,
family
systems and psychodynamic treatments that are personalized to each client and their needs.
Life is about feeling connected, sharing in the joys and sorrows, and striving for something better, a better you. Therapy is a place where you can share and explore the challenges and achievements that make each of us an individual. I believe that forming a safe, non-judgmental relationship is fundamental to therapy and what guides the healing process. We work together in order to gain insight and learn healthy coping skills in managing challenges faced and the feelings associated with them. I believe that the most difficult job is working on ourselves but it is also the most rewarding.

Our identities are often influenced by powerful narratives about what our lives are “supposed to be”. From gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity and socio-economic background, to the expectations from our environments,
family

Family
Therapist, I am able to understand where most people come from and how to go about helping you find your way towards a healthy mental state.
I help clients find paths that nurture and grow parts of the self that can enhance one’s experience of life to be fulfilling and whole. People come to me wanting to find out why their life is not satisfying and what could be done to work towards that goal. Often times they are stuck in life situations that block creativity and paths to self defined success. Goals often include happiness, pain relief (physical, mental, spiritual, emotional), self-awareness, productivity, insight, improved socialization, healthy relationships (or finding one), meaning, and contentment with life.

Gretchen Kubacky
Psychologist, PsyD

Grief comes out of nowhere and slams you - hard. Whether you've recently lost a
family
member, career, your health, or someone or something else that you hold dear, the loss can knock you off-center. You used to manage your life pretty well, but now you can barely keep things together. You're distracted and irritable. You want to get back to normal, but you don't know how to get through the intense feelings that threaten to overwhelm you. And if your child or teen has also been affected by this loss, it's even more difficult to envision what "normal" might look like for your
family
, or how to get there.
