Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT

*Practice Currently Full* Life can feel really overwhelming at times, especially when you are trying to manage the daily grind, while also being present in your personal and professional relationships. When you have a busy and demanding life your personal relationships often take a back burner and it’s hard to deal with problems effectively in the moment. Sometimes it’s easier to numb out with unhealthy habits like over drinking, over or undereating, scrolling social media, or overworking. But, eventually these habits leave you feeling more stressed and disconnected, and problems that once appeared small snowball into larger issues.

I am not accepting clients at this time. I seek to provide my clients with a confidential, safe, and caring space, one that offers the opportunity for enhanced insight for growth and change. Therapy is a place to be heard, accepted, and supported. I believe each person has the capacity to cope with and overcome the obstacles in their path. Taking the time and doing the work to achieve a higher level of functioning is an investment. My practice will be Telehealth only until further notice.
Jess LeBow
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW
Verified
I believe that problems develop relationally and therefore it makes sense to solve them relationally: to seek resolution through genuine understanding is the work of therapy. In my experience, the relief that clients seek is contingent upon being seen as they are, and as they want to be seen, and feeling understood.

Emily S Frank
Psychologist, EdD

As a therapist, I take a collaborative approach with patients to relieve distress, improve well-being, and develop new insights.

I treat patients who experience anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, challenges related to work and career, and stress that is related to life transitions. I work with adults of all ages, and I have special expertise in working with parents of children with disabilities.

Krista H Sand
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW, LADC-I
Verified
Seeking therapy is a sign of personal strength, not of weakness. It takes awareness in our lives and courage to be able to reach out for help. Often people who engage in therapy are actually doing well in life, but would like to do better in one area or another. Working with a licensed therapist can provide the objective and professional feedback needed to assist in defining challenges, developing goals, and working toward positive change. Benefits of therapy may include improved and more satisfying relationships, increased energy and productivity, and feelings of well-being.
