Verified
My interests and expertise includes treating anxiety, depression, sleep problems, addictions, trauma,
relationship
struggles, life transitions, school-related problems, and grief/loss.
As a psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, I understand that change occurs in the context of a meaningful connection with a therapist. The importance of a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space are crucial components in psychotherapy. My grounded approach in mindfulness and psychodynamic therapies forms the basis to help address painful emotions, relationships, and school/work struggles.

When you enter therapy, you give yourself a unique opportunity to explore your needs and feelings, and find new ways to meet the challenges in your life. A crucial ingredient for success lies in your
relationship
with your therapist. My approach is human, engaging and collaborative. We explore your feelings, reactions, and understanding of your relationships, and develop a deeper, sense of your needs, wishes, and how to fulfill your goals. I recognize that each person has unique emotional needs and struggles and I work actively to help you find new ways to understand, cope with, and resolve your concerns.
Linda S. Stern
Psychologist, PhD

The experience of building rapport and trust in a therapeutic
relationship
is one of the keys to lasting change.
Are you struggling but don't know where to turn? When you talk to friends do you feel judged or worried about burdening them with your problems? Maybe you feel that low self-esteem is preventing you from having fulfilling relationships. These are common problems that many people face but you can learn to feel better about yourself, let go of old hurts and change how you react to challenging situations in the future. These changes are possible and you can get the support you need to develop effective coping strategies and get your life on track.
Molly Prout, LCPC, Ltd.
Counselor, MS, LCPC
Verified
I specialize in working with adults struggling with challenging life transitions,
relationship
difficulties, poor stress management, low self-esteem, work/life balance, parenting-related stress/issues, anxiety and depression.
Helping others through difficult times is my passion, and we all go through difficult times. As a therapist, I try to become part of the situation, feeling the tough times with my client and helping them see things from a different perspective. Together we find ways to solve problems, tackle situations and create beneficial solutions. My style is direct without being overwhelming. I believe therapy can often be positive and fun. Knowledge is power and often therapy turns out to be a great learning experience, allowing clients to realize their strengths and achieve their lifelong goals.
Leslie Gardner McKeever
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I specialize in working with adolescents and adults dealing with anxiety, depression,
relationship
difficulties, trauma, transitions, identity, academic and work performance concerns, and stress.
We often get in places where we feel “stuck” or think “this is just how it is going to be.” The demands of managing academic/professional careers, relationships with friends and family, and emotional difficulties often result in patterns of self-doubt, insecurities, and negative self-worth that leave us feeling alone and overwhelmed. My goal is to provide you the tools and support to see that life can be better and that change IS possible. I will help you capitalize on your already-existing strengths while highlighting patterns of thinking and behaviors that may no longer be helpful in order to live the fulfilling life you want.
Caralyn L. Graham
Counselor, LCPC, NCC

Marriage and
relationship
problems can be overwhelming and can leave you feeling fearful for your family and yourself. I have extensive training and experience in marriage/
relationship
counseling, and specialize in working with individuals and couples who want to improve their
relationship
circumstances. We shift the narrative in communication to help you better understand the roots of conflict and pain. With insights and tools to effectively manage emotional triggers and reactivity, we create the safety needed to discuss volatile issues like money, children, power/control, infidelity and much more.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW

Children, teens, and adults each approach their problems from differing levels of life-experience and developmentally varied problem-solving skill sets. They also have differing neurological availability to the resources and strategies that their brains can employ. At Collaborators, Inc., we work with people where they are in time, place, development, neurology, and life space. Hearing people process their experiences in this way, and joining with them in making sense of challenges,
relationship issues
, conflicts, and family history issues makes for a context where people can find new ways to explore their world with confidence.
Melissa A. Frey
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
If you are dealing with a
relationship
concern, a health issue, or you are caregiving for someone with a health issue, we can help. Living with a challenging
relationship
or health condition can make you feel like you've tried everything and nothing is working. You may feel like you're the only person who has faced your specific struggle and aren't sure what to do. Your friends and family try to help, but their feedback seems biased, or they don't understand.

relationship

I'm a caring and engaged therapist working with women, children and families. I have years of experience as a teacher, counselor and doula. I look forward to helping you find an increased sense of happiness and fulfillment as a result of the work that we do together.

Real change for real people. You may need short-term support to learn specific tools, or you may want to dig more deeply to recognize
relationship
patterns or other behaviors that get in the way of peace and happiness in your life. You may find yourself feeling depressed, anxious and in conflict with the ones you love. I would like to help you manage and resolve these feelings and to help you transform what feels like vulnerability into strength. We will work together to accomplish the goals we co-create.

I believe that healing can occur within the context of a trusted
relationship
. I work with adults and families to help people better understand the things that are getting in the way of living a full, productive, and satisfying life. That could be a child’s struggle with emotional regulation, a parent’s difficulty setting limits or understanding their child’s behavior, an adult who struggles to develop and sustain intimate relationships, or a teenager who feels overwhelmed by all that is on their plate.

Using Child Centered Play Therapy, DIR® (Developmental, Individual-differences, &
Relationship
-based model), and CBT techniques, in addition to providing a safe, fun, and supportive setting, where your child can express, explore, and work though their struggles, I will join you and your child in their journey to strength and healing.
My mission, as a child and family therapist, is to support and partner with you and your child, if or when life presents you and him/her with difficulties and challenges. My mission is also to provide your child with effective tools in a safe, fun, and protective environment, so that together we can join in finding ways to handle some of those challenges. Some life events and challenges, whether they are physiological, biological, or environmental based, can produce emotional feelings, such as anxiety, sadness, depression, anger and confusion. Those feelings might impact the child's ability to manage or handle those events.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're faced with loss or change. As much as you try to adjust, it can be scary and confusing to realize that life isn't turning out the way you had planned. Life stress -- such as divorce or
relationship
loss, death of a loved one, job loss, illness, caregiving -- happens to most of us at some point and it can seem nearly impossible to bounce back from such heartache.
Susan Shrifter-Fialkow
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MA, LCSW
Verified
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience in helping people with a variety of presenting problems. Are anxiety, depression, health or
relationship issues
making you feel "stuck" and keeping you from living the life you want right now? I work collaboratively with my clients building on already existing strengths to help reach the goals of behavioral and emotional growth. My approach is integrative, and I find using cognitive/behavioral and family/systems thinking to be most effective in helping my clients.
Julie A Levy
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW

People are not defined by the struggles that they face, but are a complex amalgamation of their environment, biology, and life experiences. My role as therapist extends beyond the goal of simply fixing problems. Through the development of a deep therapeutic
relationship
lies the opportunity to create meaning out of life's difficulties, heal from painful experiences, and develop greater insight into one's life. Psychotherapy can provide necessary support as lives shift through different phases of development, interpersonal relationships change, and as the environments in which we live, learn, and work evolve.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
