Laura Gould
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Each person's broad web of relationships and external circumstances impacts their view of the world and ability to cope within it. With over 20 years experience as a clinical psychotherapist, I consider these and other factors in my work with adults and couples. My approach is empathic, interactive and collaborative. While i see the importance in identifying root causes for behavior, i believe it is equally important to focus on coping mechanisms in the present and developing effective solutions for managing life's difficulties.

Jennifer Marie Wilson
LCAT, RDT-BCT
Verified
Therapy can help you heal, grow and connect more deeply to yourself and others. In order to live a rich and meaningful life, we must accept and experience a wide range of emotions. Many of us, for a variety of reasons, get stuck in our pain, which leads to suffering, in big and small ways. Therapy can't eradicate all pain (that would be unrealistic), but it can help you work through it and create more room for meaningful engagement, deep connections to self and others, gratitude and a range of emotional experience.
Sean Holland
PhD
As a philosophical counselor, I utilize philosophical tools and theories to help my clients rationally address common issues that arise in life, and in doing so, learn to think more clearly, critically and deeply about them. Most of the issues we face every day are not pathological—they are not the result of mental illness—but rather just a part of life. These include questions about what career to pursue, or how to deal with a relationship issue, or how to find meaning in your life, or cope with the loss of a loved one, or resolve an ethical dilemma or to get clear on what fundamental values one holds or ought to hold.
Shlomit Rubin
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-R, SEP
Verified
Sometimes we arrive at a place in our lives where we feel that we are continually pulling on the ends of a knot. Instead of untangling, the knot becomes tighter. In a safe space designed to encourage reflection, we will unpack current difficulties and long-standing issues in the context of past experiences. All of us are impacted by our upbringing, and if we can begin to understand these experiences and how they affect the roles we play in the world, then we are at an undeniable advantage for improving our well-being.
Lisa Robin
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
Struggles with self-esteem, relationships, anxiety, depression, and life transitions are not uncommon. Psychotherapy is a process where these concerns can be addressed in an emotionally safe, private and confidential space. Key aims of the therapy I practice include deepened self-understanding, a greater sense of clarity and freedom to make choices, and improved empathy for oneself and for others. A reduction in troubling symptoms is also usually involved.
