Sundar Cook
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
My therapeutic relationship with you will quickly alleviate your emotional discomfort as well as help you grow as a person and develop new psychological abilities. I see your role as one in which you speak as freely as possibly. This is called “free-talk.” Important issues easily rise to the surface when we feel safe enough to talk freely about anything and everything. My job is first to listen and then to talk whenever I have a perspective that I believe will deepen your understanding of yourself. An effective therapeutic process brings about self-understanding that transforms your life and relationships.

I believe that we are all born with a capacity for happiness and inner well-being, and each of us desires to live a meaningful and enjoyable life.

The process of therapy is much like a flower blooming: each petal unfolds gently at its own pace under nurturing conditions, eventually revealing a unique and lovely creation where the sum of its parts is greater than the whole. I value the process of unfolding and seek to create a warm and safe space for your story and growth to unfold organically in our work together. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of my approach and I hope to support you on your journey towards a balanced and meaningful life. I believe in the power of play and utilizing expressive therapies to help you expand, explore, and move through challenges.
Brandy Suchyta
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
Verified
I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can be heard and empowered to explore, discover, understand, and transform their lives. Many of my clients come seeking clarity on why they feel the way they feel, why their actions aren’t aligning with the person they know they are, what’s getting in the way of their goals, and how they have established relationship patterns that do not serve them. I work with clients to create a space that invites creativity and curiosity to solve problems, alleviate symptoms, and look inward at how our ways of thinking, feeling and behaving may be constricting our freedom to achieve.

People come to see me to enhance life. Things are going ok however self care needs improvement. They are having difficulty in relationships with themselves and others, reacting instead of responding. They are willing to examine and work to improve physical, emotional, sexual, social, spiritual and intellectual aspects of life, hoping to improve self and co regulation. Often they are aware of past or current trauma interfering with their capacity to attach, establish new ways/patterns of living life to enhance the future. In practice at my current location since 1990.

Makeba R. Armstrong
MSMHC, CPLC
It's been an amazing ride!! However, looking at me today, you cannot see my wounds and the painful journey that brought me to this amazing place. After being married for 17 years, a divorce took my life on a serious downward spiral to a very dark and painful place. I was deeply wounded and felt completely lost. I felt abandoned by those whom I thought would love and support me, forever. I was in search of love and acceptance. I didn't care about the cost, I just needed to feel loved. While in search of that love, I paid a great cost. I went looking for love in all the wrong faces and places.
Gazala A Ansari
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
Asking for help can often be an indication of courage and strength. All individuals have life issues and knowing when to seek help is essential to well being. I am a psychologist who works diligently with my clients to identify and examine maladaptive patterns that cause obstacles to living well. Through this process, the elements needed for positive change (e.g., insight, acceptance) materialize and help move one to live a more healthy and fulfilling life. In therapy, I place great value on the relationship between the therapist and the client, so I strive to create a safe, comfortable, confidential, and nonjudgmental environment.

I believe that developing a supportive, collaborative relationship with my clients is key to healing and growth.
