My goal is to provide cost-effective, solution-focused treatment to help you feel better in the shortest amount of time. I recognize that whatever brings you to therapy has created pain or problems. That's why we will immediately begin work on how to gain short-term and long-term relief. I also understand that a commitment to therapy can be costly and difficult to schedule. That's why I have reduced my fees and offer evening appointments.

As a holistic psychotherapist, I strive to meet my clients where they’re at and always consider the mind, body, spirit, and environment. Each client is unique, so I use compassion and multicultural awareness to tailor they way I serve each client. I use a feminist, humanistic, and integrative approach and enjoy working with adults of all ages and backgrounds, but especially young women. The collaborative process of healing and growth allows my clients to reach the goals we set together and to navigate challenges of many sizes they face in their lives.
Vincent Grieco
Psychologist, PhD

In my office I offer clients a warm and supportive therapeutic environment where issues can be successfully addressed and resolved. But it is only with the client's effort and desire to change that psychotherapy is most successuful. Through the years I have found that a direct approach in therapy is most valuable as it allows us both to target those beliefs and behaviors which may require change.

Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC, MAC, NCC

Are you the person everyone comes to for help and you feel worn down, taken for granted and even resentful? Are you an overachiever and lately feel like you are struggling to keep it all together? We are broken people that come from broken people and that makes life hard sometimes. Often, we enter therapy yet remain ambivalent about the process, especially when we are the one who always has it together and takes care of everyone else. Ambivalence is natural, asking for help can be hard.

Catherine Moon
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Do you work so hard, yet still struggle with feeling “not enough”? Are you looking to explore who you are -- flaws and strengths -- and be met with compassion? I'm drawn to working with people who want to overcome anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. My clients love so well and are so thoughtful of others that often they forget to take care of themselves. They want more peace, more confidence, and better boundaries. Their work is to better understand how their past affects how they act now, and how they can more fully embody who they truly are.

There can be many reasons why you’ve decided to take a step towards therapy. Maybe you feel like you’re always anxious about trying to be perfect and it’s becoming exhausting or maybe you’re going through major changes in your life and relationships and it’s becoming overwhelming. Or maybe you just want to explore your identity in a safe space and work towards becoming more self-aware. If you’re ready to be introspective, curious, and take an active role in the therapeutic process, therapy can be a transformative process.

Rob Heller
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, JD

I am a practical, interactive therapist. My treatment approach incorporates insight, humor, and compassion for clients as they work to uncover and utilize their own unique resources, strengths, and abilities. Using a strengths-based perspective, I employ Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methodologies uniquely tailored to each client's goals and needs. I encourage clients to think about successes in their lives, no matter how seemingly "small." I believe that acknowledging every success facilitates belief in the possibility of enacting change. Giving yourself credit for each small step can make achieving your ultimate goal feel more attainable.

My goal to to assist people in finding a way forward from their distress and pain. Stressful and/or traumatic events can result in extreme anxiety that leads to isolation from your family and friends and withdrawal from what you used to enjoy. I would like to work with you to decrease that anxiety, increase your engagement with the world and nurture your relationships with others. This is done by teaching you new habits, experiences counter to stressful/trauma ones, and examining how you think about your life.

Do you find yourself feeling anxious no matter what you do? Anxiety leaves us feeling stressed, fearful, and insecure. You may be fed up with constant negative thoughts, self-doubt or feeling overwhelmed with making decisions. You might not even remember a time that things didn’t feel this way. One thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel confident about yourself and your decisions. You’re ready to stop asking others for reassurance and begin trusting in yourself. Most of all, you’re ready to stop letting anxiety limit you from fully participating in your life.
