Effective psychotherapy resembles friendship in the most generative and robust sense of the term. In the context of an increasingly trustworthy connection, I will accompany you into your inner world, where we might encounter together, with increasing complexity, the givens of your unique existence. Companioning you with presence and offerings of perspective, I will bring persistence, patience, and playfulness to our meetings. As your capacity for curiosity and self-compassion organically expand through this dialogue, you'll come to know-and-love yourself and others with an increasing harmony of calmness, clarity, and courage.
Katy Aisenberg
Psychologist, PsyD, PhD
Verified
Often we feel that happiness is just out of reach. We need to perfect something, someone, or ourselves to become happy. In a safe and confidential therapeutic setting, you can examine the problems which challenge you. Core beliefs about yourself and your relationships can change. As an experienced psychologist I help clients to act mindfully rather than react to life with self-blame, anger, or sadness. Learning how to find calm within yourself can take the place of the constant quest for external perfection.

In times of crisis, parenting can be especially challenging. My goal is to help you gain skills and confidence in your ability to support your children's resilience while attending to your own self-care. I provide expert, practical, sensitive help so you don't have to go it alone.
Sara Beautz
Psychologist, PsyD

Are you a diamond in the rough? I provide social psychologically informed therapy that looks concentratedly at each client's various emotions in context, how and why emotions arise in relationships and what they have to tell us. I help clients look at their complex feelings related to self, break ups, loss of connection, and unresolved grief or anger, and their positive feelings. I try to help clients persist at these times to discover unrealized strengths, better connections. I work with a sense of humor, realism and practicality. I hope my clients can feel secure and increasingly present, and make smarter, more conscious choices.

I am passionate about helping my clients create positive change in their lives. In my career, I have helped women from all walks of life who struggle with depression, anxiety, symptoms related to traumatic experiences, self-esteem issues and biologically based mental illness. Even though their stories and lived experiences varied, each sought support because they wanted to feel better, decrease their sense of isolation and increase positive coping skills. I love to help women discover their inner strengths, increase their feelings of personal safety, deepen their sense of agency and reclaim ownership of their lives.

Marsha Vannicelli
Psychologist, PhD

I understand the importance of developing resilience-to-change in order to effectively cope with major life transitions (marriage, birth of a child, loss of a loved one, divorce, retirement, new job). Without such resilience, life can feel overwhelming, self esteem becomes precarious, and mood can dip dramatically. Through my warm, direct, highly international approach, I collaborate with my clients to address the behaviors that continue to cause pain. My books, teaching and supervision have provided training for 100s of other clinicians to help their clients to feel more empowered in relationship and to fulfill their potential

My approach to psychotherapy is relational, client-centered and designed to meet the unique needs of each client. My work is heavily influenced by psychodynamic approaches and focuses on strengthening one's core sense of self to help shift responses to external stressors. I draw from the latest research in neuroscience and coping strategies to assist clients in using their innate capacity for self-regulation. When helpful, I integrate mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms and make way for deeper and longer-lasting effects of therapy. My therapeutic approach is culturally sensitive and trauma-informed.
