Barbara Gelfand
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We all have a desire to be heard, to be understood, and to be soothed. We often yearn for more satisfying and loving relationships. In therapy, I will listen carefully to you as we sort through obstacles that may be preventing you from experiencing greater ease and happiness. I will bear witness to your life stories, acknowledge your successes and struggles, and help you to find renewed resilience, acceptance and change. I'm patient and open-minded, and provide an empathic therapy space. I believe true healing occurs when we take care of our whole self in mind, body and spirit.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalytic Candidate
My name is Sam, and I'm a psychoanalytic therapist who is passionate about helping adults and teens navigate life's complexities. Whether you're an adult seeking deeper understanding of yourself or a young person embarking on your journey, I offer a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth.
My approach is rooted in psychoanalysis and depth psychology, which delves into the unconscious mind. We'll work together to uncover patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may be shaping your current challenges. This can include chronic behaviors, relationship difficulties, or simply a feeling of being stuck.
The therapeutic process can be quirky and surprising, just like life itself! I believe in fostering a collaborative environment where humor and curiosity can be powerful tools for self-discovery. But at its core, my practice is built on empathy and a genuine desire to see you thrive.

Dr. Alexavery Hawkins
Psychologist, PhD
As a psychologist, I find joy and fulfillment getting to help people become the best versions of themselves. Whether it is working through conflicts in intimate relationships/families, religious trauma, eating/body image concerns, or exploring gender, neurodiversity, sexuality, or other areas of identity, I offer clients the unique experience of being seen, heard, and affirmed. Working from a place of collaboration and creativity, we will tailor your therapy experience to be one that meets or even exceeds your goals for self-improvement and inspires hope and growth in your personal life.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I specialize in working with clients from the ages of 14 to adulthood, who are inquisitive, self-aware, and deeply motivated to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, move into a place of self-respect/love, and develop adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and problem-solving. I have worked for many years with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with trauma and change and searching for authenticity, often in a world that values the superficial. Therapy is a process of seeking meaning, managing change, letting go of what no longer makes sense for who we are and what we want, healing, and growing.
I am most suited to help clients dealing with loss, prior childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity (in all its manifestations), divorce, self-esteem, grief, and emotional regulation. The goals are different for everyone, yet I believe that we all want to feel more balanced, more joyful, and more healthfully connected with others.
As a psychologist with 25 years of post-doctoral experience, I’ve been exposed to various modalities, settings, and clients dealing with differing issues, life changes, and developmental expectations. I’ve also found that my professional practice has evolved as I’ve matured, raised children, and survived losses and challenges. We are in this together.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
At PSYCHē, we pair great clients with great therapists. Our network includes a variety of therapists in multiple states so we can provide our clients with solid, research-based therapies that work. We offer Individual Therapy, Couples Therapy, Family Therapy, DBT and RO-DBT Groups, and Child & Adolescent Therapy.
Our goal is simple: We want to connect you with your perfect therapist. The first step is to meet online with an expert PSYCHē clinician who knows the right questions to ask to find out what kind of therapist will be the best fit for you. After hearing your history, goals, and what you’re looking for (and NOT looking for!) we go to work getting you scheduled with someone who can help. Why wait? Leave the searching to us.
Our Therapy Services Specialists (TSS) know therapy and they know therapists. Tell them your issues, what you’re looking for, what you’re NOT looking for, and let them get to work. After presenting your case to our in house experts, the TSS will meet with you a 2nd time to share recommendations, answer questions, and connect you with a clinician. We aren’t satisfied until you understand the WHY. The next step is to start! You will be connected to your clinician and introduced to the Clinical Concierge who will serve as your guide and supporter throughout treatment. If it doesn’t work out, no problem. We’ll make it right.
We have immediate openings with the top therapists in the nation available in multiple states.
