I am a licensed clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst with over 30 years of experience in solo private practice, teaching and service in the community. Having a relationship with my patients and taking care of them are central in my work. Perhaps because of my background in the arts (dance), I also deeply value the creative yet disciplined use of self and an active authentic engagement in the therapeutic process.
I specialize in the treatment of adolescents and young adults (18-25). I also treat individuals, couples, and families who struggle with transitional issues throughout the life cycle.

Hey, my name is Scott Scalia, and I’ve been working in the mental health field going on 20 years. I’ve gained a lot of insight in my years helping clients with anxiety, depression, mood disorders , trauma, and porn addiction, to name a few. I feel the most important attribute a therapist can exhibit is compassion and understanding from day one of the therapist and client meeting. It’s my goal that the client enters therapy in a non-judgmental environment.

Stress. It leaves us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from our bodies, and unsure of how to move forward. Maybe you’re holding everything together because others depend on you, or you appear to be thriving, but your body is telling a different story. Stress doesn’t always look the same. It can show up as anger, frustration, worry, or perfectionism. Other times, it takes a physical toll, exacerbating aches and pains and leading to new physical diagnoses. It can also lead to unhealthy coping, like alcohol use. Pair any of these issues with parenting duties, relationship challenges, or work, and it starts to take over.

Worry, sadness, and uncertainty are all normal responses to feeling that parts of your life are out of your control. Regaining peace of mind with anxiety, depression, or stress often feels like it means giving up something else: time with family or friends, hobbies, or last night's sleep. While dark humor, caffeine, and willpower may get you far, you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I work with individuals looking to reclaim a sense of balance while coping with internal struggles and external pressures while fostering resilience and self-compassion.

Hi, I’m McKayla Brown. I became a therapist because I genuinely love supporting people through their challenges and watching them grow into the strongest, most authentic version of themselves. There is something incredibly meaningful about sitting with someone in their vulnerable moments and helping them feel seen, understood, and not alone.

Do you often feel overwhelmed? Are you constantly worrying about the “what-ifs” and the future? Are you struggling to establish healthy boundaries with the people you care about?

Whether you are experiencing everyday life stressors or have experienced past trauma and hardships, garnering support can be a helpful place to start.

Everyone craves to be seen, heard, and understood. In Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, we see the mind as made up of “parts” - the different feelings, thoughts, and voices of our inner world. Some carry stories of grief and shame from past wounds, while others take on protective roles in forms like self-criticism and isolation. Queer and neurodivergent-affirming IFS therapy will help you connect with a calm and secure place within where you can hear your own wise voice. I will support you in connecting with the beautiful heirlooms of ease, clarity, and self-trust that have been lost in the silenced history of our communities.
