John Sloan
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Verified
Maybe the most important element in therapy, before anything else, is the quality of the relationship between therapist and client. My first goal is to build that relationship with you, to create an atmosphere where you feel seen, safe, understood, and inspired to get curious and real about your experience. From there, the work of therapy--though often challenging--can have a spirit of compassionate exploration. We'll look at the experiences that shaped you, what's getting in your way today, and with my support, help you heal, build resilience, self-acceptance, deeper relationships, and a life based on what you value most.

My passion and expertise is to walk with you through the struggles, and together, find healthy solutions, understanding, relief, and healing for the problems and patterns that have disrupted your well-being and joy.

Working with children and teens is my passion! My office is a safe place to explore ways to cope with the stress of school, friendship challenges, peer pressure, parent-teen conflict, and those really intense emotions that can be so overwhelming...sadness, anger, anxiety. During high school teens and their parents often face challenges with communication, trust, respect, and boundary setting...I am here to empower you and your teen to use tools to better understand and connect with each other.
Kathleen Keogh
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
Life is hard, even when it's going well. And then there are the times that it isn't going well, and we need to expand our network of care. Therapy is a helpful process in both times of life. I work to connect with you, follow your needs, support you in the growth and transformation you crave, and help you through the discomfort that change can bring. I believe in the closeness of dualities, such as trauma and resilience, crying and laughing, masculine and feminine, and seeking ways to get these dualities into a closer and more symbiotic relationship with one another.
Grace Goodman

My mission is to empower girls and women to face life’s opportunities and challenges in ways that foster resilience and enrich their interpersonal relationships and communities. I work with adolescents, young adults, pregnant and new parents, and early career professionals as they face social and academic pressures, navigate difficult relationships, and develop an identity that is authentic to their values and beliefs. I help clients learn to handle painful thoughts and emotions effectively, and I walk alongside them as they clarify what’s truly important and meaningful to them.
Lane Assaf
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, MA, AMFT
Verified
I believe that you are the expert of your own life. You don't need someone to tell you what to do, and I won't be that person. I will collaborate with you, explore past experiences that have shaped who you are today, and figure out what's keeping you from living the life you want. This isn't always an easy process. It takes courage and hard work, but the rewards are great. I provide an environment that is curious, empathetic, supportive, and down to Earth. I'll help you discover your strengths and become more in-tune with your emotions. You can do this!

Hi there! I greet you with warmth, gentleness, and hope. I'm so glad you are here. I am here to provide a safe space for you to compassionately access difficult feelings and thoughts. I provide the tools for you to feel calm, connected, and confident in whatever you notice is in front of you-- whether that be everyday stresses and anxiety, past trauma, discouragement, or fear. We oftentimes cannot choose our circumstances, but I believe we can engage our circumstances wholly and non-reactively --and come out grounded and balanced. I welcome you, and I am so glad you’re here.
Sara J. Kang

Hey there! I know for a lot of people, starting therapy or looking for a therapist can feel confusing and overwhelming. I usually tell people one, simple piece of advice from one of my trusted mentors....choose someone you feel safe with. And I agree with him! Choose a therapist you get that "safe feeling" with. Trust your gut.
Mitra Karimi-Taleghani
Associate Clinical Social Worker, MSW, ASW, CYT
Verified
As a multiethnic/multicultural woman of color, child of an immigrant, and trauma-informed associate clinical social worker with a background in gender studies, I approach my work with an intersectional lens. I consider the whole human being as well as the various systems they are part of and the effect these systems have on a person’s life. It is important to me that I am mindful of how my client perceives the world and how the world perceives them. As a trauma-informed yoga instructor, I also consider how emotions can show up somatically.

"How we do anything is how we do everything." We move through life in a distinct way that was shaped before we can remember, reinforces itself everyday, and inevitably leads to the same problems despite our best efforts to change. Do anxiety and depression color your everyday experience? Has addiction taken hold of your life? Do you struggle to build satisfying relationships? Through courageous self-exploration, I can help you find compassion for yourself and come to understand why you encounter the same issues again and again. Building this understanding and taking responsibility for your life can empower you to heal and grow.
