Michelle Kessous
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
Psychoeducational and neuropsychological evaluations help to identify
learning
disabilities, ADHD, and emotional problems.
I am a firm believer in encouraging positivity, bolstering self-efficacy, and cultivating independence in others. My typical client is a child, adolescent, or young adult (age 3 to 29) who may be struggling academically, socially, or with developing effective emotional coping skills. Often, the individuals I see have difficulty with attention, concentration, organization, and with meeting the daily demands required of them at school. I also offer much support to parents who may be frustrated with their attempts at connecting with their kids and who are in need of guidance relating to discipline techniques and behavior management.

Therapy is about feeling better. It's a
learning
process. It requires a comfortable atmosphere, conducive to talking and expressing inner feelings. I try to create this environment by offering respect, sensitivity and compassion. I bring enthusiasm, and hope to the therapeutic process, as well as insight and creativity. This, in turn, helps one to develop an understanding of one's self and one's circumstances, and thus, the process of change begins, where one can acquire an ability to tackle whatever the challenge may be.
Elinor Bashe
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I work with parents of children whose intensity is due to a number of factors -- ADHD,
learning
differences, anxiety and even giftedness.
Have you ever said: "No one ever taught me how to be a parent or spouse?" Perhaps navigating the relationships at work is posing a challenge. I help clients look at patterns of communication and behaviors that aren't working and help them understand their origins. Together, we develop an understanding of what is causing the difficulties so that we may address them successfully. I've been a psychologist for 25 years, helping clients enhance their relationships with family members, friends and colleagues. While much of my work is with adults, I am also a child psychologist.

Sometimes life seems difficult or impossible to cope with. Maybe there are goals you haven't achieved or behaviors you have wanted to change, but haven't been able to for some reason. If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting stress, or are coping with past or current trauma, psychotherapy can help. It can be that crucial first step in making positive changes and achieving your goals.

When life presents challenges, we all need a support system. Feelings of depression and anxiety may be overwhelming, especially during times of uncertainty and confusion with life transitions. Stressful situations at work, in relationships, and at home may feel out of control. Let's work together to help you find motivation again and lead a fulfilling life.
Rachel Golum

Hello and welcome. Over the years I have worked with clients who present with a variety of issues, particularly high school, college and graduate students. I'm attuned to the challenges that adolescents and young adults face and also work with parents to navigate dilemmas that arise as children grow older. In addition, I'm experienced in working with educators and understand the demands placed on them. I seek to provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment where we will work together. I am happy to speak with you and determine if we are a good fit.

When you are overwhelmed with emotions like doubt, anxiety or even emptiness, it may feel as though you are drowning in an ocean of despair. You’ve probably told the closest people in your life about what you’re experiencing, but you fear being a burden to someone else and you can’t seem to shut off the negative thoughts that continue to invade your brain. The worry and loss of control you feel may manifest into eating disorders, OCD, and various anxiety disorders in order to temporarily relieve pain. That's when a mental health professional can help!

Don’t you wish life came with a handbook on how to do it right? Me too. Instead, society expects you to know how to manage feelings of despair, fear, guilt, anxiety, isolation, trauma, hopelessness, and doubt while also dealing with family, friends, relationships, careers, health, and social norms. It’s easy for mental health to take a backseat when you're trying to focus on everything else. You want to move towards the life that you want, and you realize that you need some help getting there. Keep going. You got this. You just need a safe, supportive place to be who you are and work some things out that may be holding you back.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

How many times have you said to yourself, "I've got to stop doing this"? And then you do it again. I know because I've worked with hundreds of people, individually and in groups, who have said the same thing. But together we have found a way to get them unstuck and onto a path of increased self-esteem and happiness. Whether the issue is putting unhealthy food in your body or not effectively communicating, I'm here to help you identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck so that you can take charge of your life.

Linda Tamm
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I take the mystery out of therapy by working collaboratively with you. My role then tends to be like a coach or instructor. We set goals together. I do not make decisions for my clients. Rather we look for patterns in thinking, actions, and relationships that cause problems. We examine the positive and negative outcomes that cause people to get stuck in negative emotions. While we look to the past to learn how patterns are shaped, this treatment is present and future focused. It is more important to build on your strengths than to dwell on weaknesses.
