I work mostly in couple therapy because I believe in the power of romantic connection to bring happiness, fulfillment, and comfort to life. If you are not getting along with your partner, you may be frustrated, lonely, angry, or sad. I can help you find the friendship and love you once had. I offer premarital counseling and remarriage counseling to help you realize the dreams you have of your life together. If you are still looking for a special someone, I can help you remove the roadblocks that may stand in your way.

I know this is hard, but you are not alone. With over 22 years experience counseling individuals, I can help! You may want to feel better about yourself, or are struggling to overcome wounds from the past that just keep holding you back. Old painful experiences may have led you to keep ending up in the same life patterns despite your best efforts to change. Perhaps you have been suffering for too long with feelings of panic, fear, anxiety and general unhappiness that interferes with your relationships or having the life you want. I believe we all have great capacity for growth and crisis is a profound opportunity for lasting change.

Do you and your partner feel like you've been living worlds apart? It's quiet, cold, and worst of all...lonely. Like you're not quite the same team that you once were. Barely talking, or when you do it's only to fight. You wonder, how did we ever get this way? How did the most important person in my life ...the person that once made me feel like HOME...how did they somehow turn into a total stranger sitting across the table from me? And you ask yourself...does this just happen to all couples over time?

Life is full of challenges which may include difficulty in one's personal relationships. Seeking therapy can be intimidating, but I will provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for one to share their thoughts and feelings. Therapy provides a healthy outlet to learn new skills to improve interpersonal relationships and overall mental health. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work and have been in the field for the past 19 years. I thoroughly enjoy working with the adult population. I personally know how therapy can help tremendously during low periods of life. Therapy should provide mental healing and wholeness!

Are you struggling with feeling comfortable with your sexual self? Have you ever felt guilt or shame about your sexual curiosities and/or desires? Do you find it difficult to communicate your sexual needs and desires with your partner(s) or potential partner(s)? Are you experiencing other areas of your relationship also suffering at the same time? I use a sex-positive approach that I find to be professionally essential while working with clients around issues or concerns of their sexuality. Using this approach promotes open and honest communication. I reframe from using language characterized as dehumanizing or even judgmental.

Alisa R Carvey
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Verified
At some point in our lives we can come to a place of feeling stuck or trapped, confused, sad or just plain scared of the transitions ahead. Life circumstances can become complicated and threaten to overwhelm. Depression and/or anxiety can compound these moments and leave us feeling rather without direction or hope. I work with adults in digging their way out of these feelings in order to create space and opportunity for themselves where they previously thought there was none.
Patty Marsette
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, MFT
Verified
My training as a licensed MFT has taught me to treat a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, parenting issues, relationship problems and trauma. I also have advanced training and experience working with PTSD, past trauma, panic and phobias. My goal and passion is to provide you with the tools to create and maintain life-affirming change in order to lead a more balanced and empowered life. I am EMDR trained, which is a powerful method for releasing past trauma and the depression and anxieties that go with it.

“It’s okay to not be okay” has become a popular quote more recently as we all become more open and aware of how important our mental health is. Ideally, we want to say, “Yes! You will be happy!” But the reality is our feelings ebb and flow and it really is okay if we have days that are not as good as others. With the right therapist, you will be able to gain insight, heal from past trauma, understand why you do the things you do, and have a more meaningful relationship with yourself and others.
Bridget M Wieckowski
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
My practice provides neurodiversity-affirmative and collaborative psychological testing services for individuals of all ages. I believe that individuals deserve the opportunity to feel heard, respected, and safe. Common reasons people come to me for testing are for clarity about autism, anxiety, depression, or ADHD. An evaluation helps folks to understand themselves better. I also provide individual and family therapy for children, teens, and young adults. I particularly specialize in working with early childhood (<6 years old), attachment, social skills, stress management, grief and loss, chronic worries or sadness, and parenting.

Dr. Jenna Del Valle
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
There is always hope for you, your child, or your family. Life is full of growth, and sometimes struggling is a part of that process, but it’s especially painful to have a child go through a tough time. If you or your child are struggling with fear, sadness, pressure, socializing, family/relationship concerns, behavioral changes or stress then I am available to provide a supportive and compassionate atmosphere to help you move forward.
Jason Wu
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
Though I work with most issues, I specialize in helping people recover from complex trauma. People with narcissistic, abusive, or neglectful parents or partners sometimes develop issues with trusting themselves, have difficulty maintaining close relationships, struggle with an inner critic, vacillate often between depression and anxiety, lack a solid sense of identity, or feel a sense of emptiness when their lives seem great on paper. Sometimes that trauma can even become part of one's identity - I work with clients to build insight, boundaries, self-compassion, and acceptance to free themselves from it & live more fulfilling lives.
