Hello! I work effectively with clients who feel ready to be open and explore some of the more challenging or difficult aspects of their life. I believe this comes from building a trusting therapeutic relationship, and I am invested in helping my clients feel both welcome and comforted in my presence. We can then work together on the client's goals, whether they be personal mental health goals, improving relationships, or working through a complicated past. My clients are active in session and comfortable with feedback.

Are you feeling sad, anxious or overwhelmed? How about feeling disconnected or having no purpose in life? I understand that coming to therapy can be scary. We can feel so vulnerable opening up to a stranger about our confusions, fears and insecurities. Therapy is a process of self-exploration, change and healing. The therapy process will help you in gaining greater awareness about yourself, your relationships, and situations you find yourself in. In therapy, you will learn skills for coping and discover solutions to your problems.

Barbara Lee Rosenberg
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
As a psychologist, I believe that good therapy builds upon a trusting, working relationship between therapist and client. For me, each client is a unique individual with his or her own special needs, feelings and life experiences. Of most importance is that my clients see me as a professional who listens with respect and empathy to what he or she tells me. My goal is to work collaboratively with all clients to help them examine and modify self-defeting beliefs and behaviors that prevent healthy and productive funcitoning in family,social and work or school settings.

Amy Brightman
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Hi, I'm Amy! I believe therapy is a supportive, non-judgmental space that allows us to confront what is not working, tackle problems, and understand goals. I work with adults and teens (16 years old +) who are looking to improve their wellness, manage emotions, develop self-esteem, improve communication, and cope with stress. Stress can be brought on by life transitions, trying to understand career/school and personal goals, navigating relationships, and much more. Together, we will develop an understanding of your beliefs and emotions, allowing you to respond rather than react in order to ultimately give you a sense of control.
