Max Laffend: Couples, Adults, LGBTQ
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LSW
Verified
As a Queer/LGBTQ individual who has worked extensively within my community I have learned that everyone has their own idea of what it means to suffer, but need not approach it alone nor without help. First and foremost the understanding that both individual needs and relationships are unique on a case by case basis informs the work my clients and I do together. If you are not feeling seen or heard in your relationships with others, be it romantic or otherwise, we can work together to build the needed skills for you or you and your partner to better navigate needs.

I have worked for over 10 years with clients diagnosed with a variety of mental health issues and especially talented with the full spectrum of addiction ( drugs, sex, porn, gambling).... may it be your own, or helping you manage the addiction of someone you love.

Ellie Eick
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
We all want to feel confident, balanced and happy. The reality is we get stuck, frustrated, hurt, disappointed and sad...These periods of personal struggle can be an opportunity for growth and hope instead of continued hurt and personal crisis. Talking to a therapist offers an avenue to understand what is happening to you and your relationships (ie. with loved ones, friends, family, and of course yourself). It is an experience that can help you feel listened to, understood, and help you find solutions to improve how you feel and live.

Rachel Khan-McCroy
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
We are simply living in uncertain times where our lives are being forced into a new way of being. At times, it seems we have few choices and possibilities which can lead to feelings of doubt, worry, intense sadness, restlessness, self-blame, frustration and/or a sense of not being fully alive. Simply said, feeling unhappy. Therapy/counseling offers an avenue to understand what is happening to us emotionally and provides an experience that can empower you to make choices about your life. It is a choice to find a way to come out of this period of time as a better version of our selves than we started.
