Some people, including myself, have had a point in life where they feel there is something more in life, but don't know how to get there. Others may have gotten to a point where they don't feel they have potential. No matter where you are at-broken, stuck, or just feel you need someone to guide you in your journey, I can help you. I love to work with people people through their struggles by taking a relational and evidence based approach that focuses on using ones strength to accomplish their purpose.

Aisha Rosh
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
Verified
I help
children
, teens, & young adults normalize and approach these emotions by providing a space to approach and find workability.
“What matters?” This is one of the most important questions I can ask of my clients. Without knowing what matters what they are passionate about, neither of us know why we are in the “room." To figure out the why (Why WOULD I do my homework, why would I go to practice, etc.) gives us a meaningful direction. Also let’s talk about fun. Isn’t that the whole point of NOT being an adult? If I’m not enjoying the session, I can bet my client is definitely not. I work hard to ensure a relaxed and welcoming environment that is filled filled with unconditional positive regard, hard work, humor, flexibility and appreciation, and fun.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW

Trauma is defined as "a deeply distressing or disturbing experience". Traumatic events are life changing. Living with constant fear and anxiety as a result can be debilitating; making it difficult to connect with others and navigate the world around us. I specialize in treating
child
and adolescent trauma as well as individuals and families. Early on in my career I worked with high profile trauma cases. This, paired with my experience working in the school setting and my deep curiosity of neuroscience has given me a unique set of clinical skills.

My experience is primarily in outpatient therapy seeing
children
(8+), adolescents, adults, and families. I have had success with a broad range of diagnoses such as: ADHD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, OCD, Depression, PTSD and other trauma related disorders, some Personality Disorders, Adjustment Disorders, and Grief. I like to take a comprehensive, strengths based approach to therapy and often try to coordinate with additional healthcare providers, schools, family members etc. in order to create lasting change. I believe every person is unique and requires a different approach to reach their goals.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I see
children
as young as 4 years old, adults, and couples.
I see patients in the most convenient hours – after school or weekends. If you have a busy schedule or need a flexible therapist, you've come to the right place. Your schedule is the priority – not mine. I can even see you when you can't make it in to the office with online therapy. If you need someone to watch your kids, don't pay someone to do it, bring them in and let them hang out in the play room designed by my own kids!

Mimi E Porat
Marriage & Family Therapist, MS, MFT, LPC-IT
Verified
With an extensive background in working with
children
and families in both educational and mental health settings, I have had the privilege of being witness to many personal stories.
As a counselor, I so value the healing potential of human connection. Emotion and suffering are natural reactions to life, and the ability to sit with and process life’s challenges with another person can be a gift. Sharing moments of loss, shame, joy, and disappointment can lead to stronger self-acceptance and connection with others. I strive to be welcoming, open, and empathetic to all clients who walk through the door. It is my job to create a safe space for individuals of diverse identities, backgrounds, and cultures, and to notice when my own perspective and biases are hindering the therapeutic relationship.

As parents, we've all had those "WTF" moments. Maybe your
child
is acting out or their mood seems to have more ups and downs than a rollercoaster. Sure, it comes with the territory of raising kids, but when they start to happen more often, we might feel confused, frustrated, or worried. That's where therapy for your
child
or teen can help! You want a therapist that can connect with your
child
and help them function and feel better. You want a therapist that will listen and see you for who you are: a caring and loving parent that is trying their best. You want a therapist that can help your family feel less stressed and overwhelmed.

My focus area is working systemically with

Hola! Have you been trying to do it all alone? And think the feelings, symptoms are getting worse or they seem to get a bit better as time goes on, but you feel that you need extra support?

Krystal Buchanan
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, NCC

I have worked with adolescents and
children
for the past 6 years, and am currently seeing adult clients at this time as well!.
I take a person-centered, strengths-based approach to meet clients where they are and address what they feel is impacting their lives the most. I believe building a strong relationship is the foundation of therapy. I think it is important to maintain a non-judgmental stance and instead look through a lens of curiosity throughout life, and especially in therapy. The thing I love most about being a therapist is watching my clients grow and having the opportunity to be part of their journey. I pride myself on the passion I have for what I do, and how that translates into my ability to advocate for my clients.
In the Moment Child and Family Therapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC-IT, LMFT-IT, CPC, NCC
Verified
Many people struggle to cope with strong/uncomfortable emotions. Learning how to "regulate" emotions is a cornerstone of mental and emotional health. God created all of us as emotional beings who also use reason and logic, not the other way around. As
children
, our work is to learn how to recognize, validate and effectively use feelings as guides to ourselves, our relationships, behaviors, careers and so much more! If you weren't able to learn these skills, it's not too late! I work with
children
of all ages, from birth throughout the human lifespan, and help them to grow and thrive.

Verified
I help people explore personal issues that have proven to be too difficult for them to manage alone. I work with adults, teens, adolescents and
children
struggling with depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance, PTSD, panic attacks, and stress related physical problems. Along with helping clients find relief from these issues, my approach is a holistic one aimed at supporting their overall well-being and long-term happiness. I use a variety of treatment approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Brain-spotting among others. But at the heart of my practice is “Needs-Based” counseling approach.
