Nicole E Buller
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LMSW
Verified
I provide collaborative, person-centered service that compassionately honors your preferences, strengths and challenges in addressing problems such as anxiety, depression,
relationship issues
, work dissatisfaction, impostor feelings, academic underachievement, divorce, grief, and difficulties in adjusting to college or graduate school, among others.
As a clinical social worker and therapist, I strive to create an environment of emotional safety in which we can identify and explore the internal conflicts and patterns of maladaptive behavior that leave you feeling distressed or dissatisfied. Through confidential consultation, we will first ensure there is a good fit between your concerns and my expertise. Then we will begin an individualized treatment that optimizes the conditions needed to support your recovery and personal growth.
Gabriella Abalo
Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Verified
We can address your immediate concerns by providing tools to manage crises such as anxiety attacks, family conflicts,
relationship issues
, self-harm, and suicidal ideation.
Life’s hardships can bring days that disappear, missed opportunities, and a feeling of being lost and not knowing where to turn. I focus my work with queer, working class, and/or multiracial adults and/or couples struggling with life transitions, trauma, substance use, and grief. I integrate narratives of collective trauma. Therapy can unearth demons you've struggled with or never acquainted yourself with. Healing is not linear. This nonlinearity means we'll acknowledge the potholes we may encounter. Wherever you are on your life journey, we can map, structure, process, and find the skills to navigate through it.

relationship
conflict, parenting issues, LGBTQIA identities, existential crises, disordered gambling and behavioral addictions, depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, suicidal ideation, phobias, and thought disorders.
The world in which we live can be a frustrating, disheartening, and difficult landscape to navigate. Having a seasoned and skilled guide can make the difference between distress and sustainable growth with a renewed capacity for joy. I have a deep understanding of the human condition and the dynamic challenges present in the world. I have an innate ability to sit with people at varying stages as they process through complex life challenges. I help clients to confront deeply engrained thoughts and feelings and tailor my therapeutic approach to significantly reduce the distress clients are experiencing.

Andrea Dewey
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW

My number one goal as a therapist is to provide you with a
relationship
in which you can be real, open, and yourself without feeling judged or shamed.
Currently Accepting New Clients (updated 6/15/22). I work with individuals, couples & families, ages 11 and up. I follow your lead in choosing what we work on during our time together. I do not view therapy as an "expert" "fixing" a "broken person," but as a
relationship
between equals in which you are the expert on you, and I provide questions, observations, and information for you to consider. I also see my job as being your Number One Fan. I do my best to model self-compassion and radical acceptance, as I believe that healing comes, not through shame and hate, but through vulnerability and love.

Verified
The individuals, couples, and families with whom I work are interested in understanding and addressing not only certain specific emergent problems such as those associated with adjustment and
relationship
difficulties, depression, and anxiety, but also the underlying thoughts, feelings, and behavioral and relational patterns that have contributed to the development of these problems. Through a collaborative, empathic process, these individuals, couples, and families are able to expand and utilize their skills, strengths, and self-understanding in order to live more meaningful and rewarding lives.
Margaret C Walsh
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
Something is motivating you to consider psychotherapy. Maybe you are feeling depressed, sad, anxious or too angry. The first hard and essential step is calling someone. With 30+ years of experience, the most helpful things are usually not dramatic, but instead small, steady changes that can lead to significant relief of painful feelings. It can mean the difference between a close intimate
relationship
or a satisfying job situation. Understanding and removing internal obstacles to your progress and becoming more flexible with yourself and others are some of the hallmarks of a successful psychotherapy.

**Not accepting new clients at this time** Psychotherapy comes from the Latin for "soul healing," and I aim to support you as you heal your whole self: mind, body, and soul. We will build on your strengths and work as a team to help you gain the clarity you need to achieve your goals. Working from a multicultural framework, I am committed to empowerment, self-advocacy, and "meeting you where you're at" on your path to wellness. Humor is also important to me, and I hope we can find ways to laugh together as we navigate our messy, complex world.

For over 20 years I have been a psychotherapist enjoying a generalist practice with diverse clients on a wide range of personal,
relationship
, family, work, and academic challenges.
I journey with clients as a collaborator, allowing both my experience and intuition to support a mutual exchange of ideas, finding solutions and strategies that are right for you. Clients rely on me to help them define their priorities in therapy, access their own intuition, better understand their emotional lives, and to provide a direct and honest appraisal of the patterns that emerge in their work and relationships. Together we are therapeutic partners navigating forward to find more rewarding and effective ways to be at ease within yourself, resolve conflicts, and live in
relationship
with others.

You might feel anxious, or depressed. You want to change but you feel stuck, unable to move forward. You might be unhappy with aspects of yourself, or your relationships, but you do not know what to change, how to change. You might suffer because of trauma, or for a loss that feels too hard to bear. Talking to a therapist can help. If you decide to meet with me, my first goal will be to connect with you, and help you feel understood. Working from this connection, I will try to help you understand more of yourself, and know how to change using the therapeutic techniques most appropriate for your characteristics and needs.

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.
