Michael Chew
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-R
Verified
Every human being has the emotional need to be understood and validated. When this need is met, we can find our true selves and live an authentic life, which brings happiness and satisfaction. However, when this is absent from our lives, we struggle just to survive and we experience pain and suffering. Some of us are fortunate to have people in our lives who try to support and help us, but their comments and feedback are limited by their lack of training as a therapist and by their personal perspectives and values.

No matter what path we take in life, we will be met with suffering and hardship along the way. This is a natural aspect of the human condition. My goal as a Therapist is to assist you with identifying how your suffering manifests (whether it be due to depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life change etc.) and the variety of ways in which you can cope with the distressing situations in your life.
Erin Wolfe
Counselor, MS, LMHC, CCTP

It is my genuine belief that the process of therapy can be broken down into the following quote by author Hannah Brencher: “We all have a bag. We all pack differently. Some of us are traveling light. Some of us are secret hoarders who’ve never parted with a memory in our lives. I think we are all called to figure out how to carry our bag to the best of our ability, how to unpack it, and how to face the mess. I think part of growing up is learning how to sit down on the floor with all your things and figuring out what to take with you and what to leave behind.”

The healing process begin when we take the steps to work on increasing awareness of ourselves and what we are going through. My goal is to be here for you and provide the support you need along the journey to overcome challenges of life.
Kim Rosenfield
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
In my over 20 plus years of training, studying, writing, thinking, theorizing, and practicing psychotherapy, I’ve come to understand that the experience of feeling deeply seen, heard and listened to is what facilitates change in us and in our relationships. This may sound simple, but for many of us these seemingly basic human tenants have not been upheld. The process of learning to locate oneself for oneself can be a complex undertaking. It is a unique experience for each individual evolving over time and trust. I have a deep belief in the powerful shifts that this process can bring to our lived experience.

I believe that therapy offers a path to self awareness and self understanding in the pursuit of more satisfying relationships and greater self-esteem. Gaining insight,identifying needs, and problem-solving create an environment for positive change. My optimism for people's capacity for positive change informs my work and facilitates a trusting partnership.

Adjusting to changes in a time of uncertainty while maintaining a sense of connection to one’s friends and family can be difficult. In such conditions it is easy to feel disconnected from one's career and from the support systems used to foster a sense of stability. This sense of disconnection can be overwhelming and can result in feelings of anxiety and depression.
