Finding your way through a difficult time or along the path of emotional healing isn’t easy. And going it alone can be too much. Some part of you that wants things to be better knows it’s time—time to find solutions, to feel more self-compassion, to understand yourself more deeply, to relate with more dignity. I want to help you make the changes life is calling you to make and experience yourself and your relationships with more integrity.

Therapy is a creative, collaborative relationship. As an artist and therapist, I am here to help you create the life you want to live. I am not here to fix you; you are not broken. We will work together to find new ways for you to be in relationship with the problems and the joys in your life. If you are ready to step into a creative, collaborative journey, then I am here to offer a safe, supportive space to do just that. Let’s get curious about how to cultivate more room for pleasure, joy and connection as well as for the uncomfortable, tender parts of your life that need care and compassion.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LICSW

I work with clients experientially to feel deeply into their own emotions that may be locked away. I seek out glimmers of core emotion in the present moment -- that is where the magic or possibility for change lives. I help clients learn to relate to people in a healthier, more wholesome way -- this may be learning to reach out, or it may mean having a sense of what you need and want so you can get those needs met in your relationships. I work by listening closely and pushing clients know what's going on internally. I tell them what I am feeling and ask clients to be in touch with their bodies and feeling not just their thinking.

The first step (or the first step back) into therapy can be nerve-wracking. You're making a commitment to yourself to heal, grow, and learn! My goal is to help clients heal from anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strains, and more in a safe environment built on trust. I strive to provide a non-judgmental space where we can expand on areas of strength while learning new skills. I am trained with Marsha Linehan's Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) model.

Are you navigating the loss of relationship through death, sickness, or divorce? If you are looking for support in these areas, seeking to deepen the relationship you hold to yourself, process trauma, grief and loss, or are hoping to find ways to experience greater freedom for authentic expression, I would love to support you.

Healing comes from seeking understanding of the whole self. I provide a calm and compassionate space to work through traumas, anxiety, depression, grief, difficult relationships, parenting concerns or that feeling that things just aren’t right. Together we can explore patterns you may feel caught in, look at things in new ways, consider pathways to change, honor and build on your strengths, and reclaim parts of yourself that have been closed off or are waiting for the opportunity to grow. I enjoy helpIng adults, couples, and families heal emotional wounds and deepen knowledge of their needs, wishes, and complete self.

Libby Felling
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
Fit is an important factor in therapy. Why should you trust anyone to accompany you into the dark places if you're not allowed to see who they are? I work well with teenagers and adults who have hit roadblocks in other therapies. If you have suspected something maintains your suffering, or your child's, that remains hidden I might be a valuable therapeutic guide. I offer warmth, humor, and sharp analysis of the big picture as well as the details to help you identify what's holding you back and how to move forward differently in a clear, practicable way.

I provide safe, healing, and restorative supportive care to people living with HIV and/or AIDs.

Rafael Cohen
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, MA, ATR-BC, LPCC
Verified
Some people go through life believing they know what they want and yet find a deep sense of dissatisfaction when they get it. Others self-sabotage and seem to keep a safe distance from their conscious goals. Naturally there are no quick fixes to challenges like these, but psychoanalytic work offers the possibility of taking the whole person into account. In order to do this I remain invested in the full complexity of each individual and I avoid reducing patients to a symptom or a diagnosis. With time, hard work, and an unprejudiced space to speak, new perspectives are possible, as are new relationships with self and with others.
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Verified
I know choosing a therapist can be difficult. I like to provide an atmosphere that is collaborative, nurturing, and focused on helping you achieve your goals. I enjoy helping people understand their thoughts, feelings, and behavior as they move toward change and solve their problems. I do this using therapeutic techniques that are evidenced-based which means these methods have consistently been shown effective through research. I make every effort to balance kindness with a focus on getting you to where you want to be. This balance results in people feeling understood while creating meaningful change.
Chris Bedford
Psychologist, PhD, ABSNP, LP
Verified
My work at Brainsight centers around helping people learn more effectively, whether they are children or adolescents in a school setting or adults in the workplace. I specialize in the identification and treatment of problems with attention, learning, and memory. The ability to pay attention and remember things is integral to learning and working. If you are easily distracted, have difficulty focusing your attention, suffer from a poor memory, or struggle to learn new things, you may benefit from an evaluation. Some individuals also benefit from counseling or coaching, and others benefit from training programs for memory or executive functions.
