Welcome! My ideal client faces challenges such as anxiety, depression, or recovery from brain injuries. They seek to improve their daily functioning and emotional well-being. Their goals include gaining better control over emotions, enhancing cognitive skills, and leading a more fulfilling life. They desire understanding, practical coping strategies, and compassionate support to navigate their difficulties. If you're looking for personalized, evidence-based therapy in a warm, nonjudgmental setting to empower and heal, let’s start this journey together.

Clients are looking for solutions to their Life Challenges, whatever they may be. My role is to help clients to face and to overcome these challenges and to mover forward in their lives.

Hello! Do you feel like you are stuck in a rut or want to get more out of yourself? Are you interested in learning tangible skills that assist you in living a better life? If you are an athlete, musician, corporate executive, health care worker, or anyone else that experiences stress, pressure, or expectations, then you found the right place! I traditionally work with teenagers and adults who are in sport/performance-focused fields that want to optimize their mental health and performance. I work with male and female clients who have ADHD, anxiety and mood disorders, eating disorders, low self-esteem, decreased motivation, and more.

My goal is to work alongside those seeking to process past experiences, address current life stressors and attain an overall improved quality of life. Through building strong therapeutic relationships, clients are able to successfully reach their identified goals and find healing. Clients identify the area in which they would like to process and I work alongside them at their pace and comfort level. I believe that the therapeutic alliance is the most important part of therapy and I emphasize building that relationship so that a successful outcome is achieved.

My empathetic approach meets the individual where they are, to explore their concerns without shame, guilt, or judgment. Everyone faces challenges and difficult times in their life. The way we receive information from the people, places, and things in our environment is rooted in experience, belief systems, and our personality. We respond and interact with others based on our defined relationship with ourselves and our experiences. My goal is to create a safe environment, to cultivate an authentic relationship with yourself. We will work together to develop attainable treatment goals based on your needs and wants.

In one moment, your life can change forever. These turning points in life often lead to us question everything we have known. As we try to pick up the pieces of our life, we can get lost along the way. We are here to help you to find your way and overall become healthier.

To me, therapy is a team sport. I'm there to help create a space and relationship where you feel safe exploring the things that are happening in your life. Maybe that thing is identity exploration, depression or anxiety that just won't quit, or figuring out how survive and then thrive after a big trauma. All of this is big stuff. I'm here to help you hold it and find a way through it. I have plenty of tools that I can bring to bear (questions, coping skills training, identifying patterns, and reframing situations), but ultimately, my approach centers around you and what you need to be successful, however you define success.

What do you require most to navigate your life through the labyrinth of work, relationships and community? I am available to explore your questions with you, and to support you to awaken to your own potential. I believe we are all striving to achieve a sense of authentic happiness, fulfillment, and joy in all we do. Yet, sometimes we find that beliefs we hold, thoughts we think, or the habits that come to govern our actions fail to bring us the outcomes we desire. I enjoy working with people who want to learn how to access their inner experience for forward movement toward positive life changes.

Your healing and restoration are my priority. My passion is the empowerment of others within their lives. I believe the counseling relationship is sacred, and through it, individuals experience growth by gaining self-awareness regarding the strengths they hold within. It is a privilege to work alongside individuals who desire growth, along with healing and restoration within themselves. My role is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to empower individuals as they write their own stories, tailoring my therapeutic approach to meet the unique needs of each client.

At Here & Now our goal is to help each client discover the joy of feeling comfortable in their skin and knowing their purpose in life. Our clinical specialists thoughtfully and compassionately tailor a wellness hub of solutions to each patient’s unique needs. Our Wellness Hub of professionals incorporate evidence-based practices. Everyone's Hub at Here & Now is unique; it may involve psychiatry or talk therapy, brain training, infusion therapy, art therapy, hypnosis, breath work, virtual reality exposure therapy, EMDR, movement and somatic work. We also offer trusted resources for confronting and overcoming substance abuse issues.

I strive to support people live to their full potential in a life that brings happiness and fulfillment and at the same time understand and transform whatever is interfering with that process. Our work together will empower you to transform old negative beliefs and patterns and grow into living with presence, integrity self-love and joy.

All of us are striving to be true to ourselves and our loved ones around us. Feeling authentic and true to who we are can assist us in living life the way we would like to. Sometimes, our mood-related difficulties and our life experiences can get in the way our authenticity. You could be experiencing mood-related difficulties as a reaction to grief, trauma, depression, substance use, chronic illnesses, identity issues, cross-cultural issues, and relational difficulties, which I specialize in working with.

Since 1999, Dr. Bolnick has been providing therapeutic services to individuals (i.e., school-age through adulthood) and their families. Thinking outside the box, integrating her understanding of Clinical Psychology, Learning Disabilities, Health Psychology, and Neuropsychology, has allowed her to create innovative interventions. She believes each individual and family is a unique puzzle and no single intervention works with everyone.

Hello! I'm really glad you are here. It shows you are ready to take a step forward in your healing journey. I believe no two clients are alike therefore each session with me will be a unique experience. During our time together, you are in control and I’m merely a guide assisting you on your journey. I am there to light the way by not only providing support and validation but also to share the tools I’ve picked up along the way.

I specialize in helping individuals soothe pain, anxiety, and stress as a residual from chronic illness or injury. Those diagnosed with chronic illness / chronic pain often have anxiety and depression surrounding their illness. This can contribute to sleepless nights, shameful feelings, self-blame, fear of social situations, isolation, and anger. Within our partnership we will create a new awareness and understanding of the impact your illness has had on your quality of life and how this has created your current internal narrative.

"What is the impact of my personality on my self, my significant other, and my family/work relationships?" By answering this questions, clients/patients identify and eventually change self-defeating habits, beliefs, and patterns caused by trauma, substance abuse/addiction, and chronic stress. Signs of negative impact include anger, low mood,multiple marriages, work problems, and eventually job loss.

Are you experiencing changes in thinking abilities, personality, or behavior? Do you feel as though you are a prisoner of your emotions that are intense and difficult to manage? Do you think you or a loved one might have a learning disability? Are you struggling to effectively cope with your life circumstances? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone and you came to the right place. Whether you are seeking a neuropsychological evaluation or psychotherapy, you deserve the high-quality and personalized care that I offer. Together, we can achieve your goals so you can live a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

I specialize in working with people around issues of shame that result from addictions, co-dependency, trauma, adoption related issues and more.

Being human is weird and messy. Learning to live with our own thoughts and our internal narratives can be exhausting. I work well with clients addressing concerns related to anxiety, grief, burnout, relational challenges, adult family dynamics, work life balance, feelings of overwhelm, and depression. I have experience working with other health professionals on their own mental health journeys. I enjoy working with "overachievers" and "people pleasers" who are interested in living a life beyond their resume and reconnecting with themselves. I also enjoy supporting clients rebuilding life post brain injury and stroke.
