Are you feeling "out of sync," unmotivated, confused, lethargic, anxious, depressed? Are your relationships suffering? Your productivity at work? Your belief in yourself? When one area of your life is depleted, it can create imbalance in other areas of your life. This can include areas of emotional health, physical health, nutrition, sleep, relationships, work, money, and spirituality. My holistic approach addresses clients as a "whole" person...all aspects within yourself (biology, thoughts, feelings) and outside yourself (work, culture, relationships, finances, etc.). As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Certified Holistic Health Coach, I facilitate your body's own natural healing process.
Yoko Mori
Psychologist, PhD

Hello. All of us experience challenges and hardships in our lives. These challenges could make you feel disconnected from people around you, sad, overwhelmed, or alone. You may be reacting to hardships that are happening in your current life or in the past. Whether the issues are current or past, it affects your emotional well-being today. I believe therapy helps us understand our emotions, especially how these emotional struggles happen at the particular time in our lives.

My ideal client is someone who is feeling "stuck" within their lives and looking to break free of negative patterns of thinking, unhealthy habits, chronic feelings of low self-esteem or the "dead-ends" associated with unhappy, unfulfilling relationships. My clients understand that the power of psychotherapy is exactly its ability to heal and transform their lives. I serve clients dealing with anxiety, depression, anger management, child and adolescent issues, life transitions, domestic violence, sexual abuse, childhood trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief / bereavement, and relationship problems.

Emem Itiat
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, NCC, QMHP
Verified
Navigating life's set backs, challenges, and adversities can absolutely take a toll on our wellbeing and ability to function, which is why it is important to know that you do not have to work through these concerns alone. I believe in the power of healing through promoting self-awareness, autonomy and empowerment, and also in people's strength to move towards change. Though suffering is a part of life, something that all humans share, working to manifest helpful and sustainable coping mechanisms, and skills that will work to serve you long term makes a difference in the quality of life a person experiences.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Are you and your partner experiencing conflict that you can't seem to resolve? I can help you understand the underlying issues and needs that lead to withdrawal or anger, and work with you to re-establish strong bonds. Together we will identify the negative patterns that repeat, learn how to interrupt those and to instead create positive conflict resolution skills. I am passionate about the work I do as a therapist, and I respect each person's struggle and strengths.
Matthew Cramer
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, CADC
Verified
My name is Matthew Cramer and I'm a psychotherapist and addictions counselor. If you're considering therapy but aren't quite sure, or aren't entirely comfortable opening up to a stranger, then you've come to the right place! Most people who see me have little to no experience with therapists or therapy. Many are uncomfortable asking for help, believing it is a sign of "weakness." Others come from families where "staying strong," and keeping "personal business" in the family was the norm. Whatever their story, they are able to open up to me.
Kimberly Chivers
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
Have you tried to make changes in your life, but nothing seems to work? Are you satisfied with your relationships? Do you feel depressed or anxious? Do you have a crisis on your hands? Do you feel stuck? I help you find the strength to take new approaches to identify, confront, and change patterns in your life. My approach is caring, knowlegeable, and supportive. I help you develop skills and personal awareness and I am there with you on your journey. I am interested in helping you reengage in life in a happier, healthier, meaningful way.
Melinda Lupfer Yachnin
Counselor, LCPC
Verified
I see therapy as a way for you to get free of the habits and perspectives that bind you, so that you can create the life you really want. So much of what makes us suffer is the chasm between how we think things ought to be and how they actually are. Therapy is an ideal way to reconcile these differences, to identify tools that will help you cope with challenges and make the most of your strengths. I use existential and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy to work with clients on issues including life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress and career concerns.

Julia Tehovnik
Counselor, LCPC, MA
Verified
Do you feel anxious or have doubts that hold you back from achieving more in life? Perhaps you feel like a failure for not having met high expectations, those of yourself or of others. Maybe you have met those expectations and and are doing all the "right" things, but still feel unfulfilled. Or you've accomplished a goal - e.g., weight, graduation, promotion, competition, relationship - and don't know what to do next, as if the accomplishments aren't enough..
Jill Bajorek
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Your experiences and perceptions are real because they're yours. When you feel a certain way, it is significant, even if others may suggest that what's on your mind is "really not that big of a deal." If your instinct is telling you something doesn't feel right, you deserve a chance to explore that. I want to explore those ideas with you, and provide a space where you feel comfortable talking about whatever you want in a safe and judgment-free zone.
Kristina M Pecora
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
My goal is to help you uncover your true potential, and lead a life that is worth enjoying, and therapy is a healthy support system for creating such positive change in one's life. While we can't change difficult situations or the past, we can work together to understand and resolve challenges in your life. Long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions may hold you back from experiencing a more fulfilling, more meaningful life - we can change that!
