Stephanie Marks
Hypnotherapist, MA
In our work together, we will explore the hidden thoughts and feelings, the pleasures and pains, the wishes, the memories that have been stored and possibly repressed. Together, we will explore YOU, the way you have lived and how you want your life to look. We will talk about the worries and anxieties that have been weighing heavily on you. We will find paths by which you can free yourself from suffering and begin to live the life that you choose and wish for.

I am a fat, queer, cisgender therapist who knows the importance of feeling seen and understood by your therapist. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community I want to offer gender and queer-affirming services to those who identify as gay, lesbian, transgender, TGNC, gender non-conforming, genderqueer, gender fluid, intersex, CNM, polyamorous, kink, and questioning. I also believe in the importance of sharing space for multiple identities and being a culturally competent provider.

Truth Berenson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer counseling and coaching for individuals of all genders, sexualities, racial identities, and family formations. My work is rooted in developing a strong therapeutic relationship. Within the counselor-client connection, clients are invited to explore relational dynamics and to safely become more honest with themselves and others. Through collaboration, I support clients to clearly identify boundaries, honor desires, and expand their capacity to tap into innate resources. My approach is informed by psychodynamic theory, spiritual and archetypal counseling, parts work, creative arts therapy, and goal-oriented coaching in addition to somatic interventions. These coupled with a client-centered and anti-oppressive lens facilitate changes that are both radical and sustainable.
Areas of specialty include: partnership and family conflict, self doubt, guilt & shame, eating disorders & body image, gender, sexuality, LGBTQIA+ experiences, transitioning, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction, attachment, polyamory, family dynamics, interpersonal and communal conflict, spiritual growth, strengthening intuition, political identity, financial stability, transitions, and creative blocks.
My therapeutic style is intuitive, fierce, and nurturing. With passion and humor, I approach each person with deep respect for the grace and grit of human experience and an abiding trust in each individual's capacity for growth and resilience.
I also support couples struggling to navigate both the inevitable and unexpected challenges of partnership. Every partnership has unique strengths and challenges and even the strongest relationships sometimes need help weathering life's hardships, be they related to health concerns, finances, sexuality and intimacy, children, work stress, extended family, etc.
Couples counseling can help partners improve communication, develop a deeper understanding of each other's experiences, increase awareness of intentions and impact, and relate to each other with compassion and curiosity rather than judgment.
I support couples to make collaborative decisions and move through conflict with courage, honesty, and mutual respect.
Partners learn communication and deescalation skills, develop resiliency, and grow as individuals and partners. Together we can identify and heal attachment wounds, explore power dynamics, and build trust.

Priya Patel
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Recent unforeseen world changes have many of us restricted from our usual routines. At times, this leaves us with struggling thoughts of past wounds leading into present life, which can impact our emotional well-being and perhaps even lead to conflicts in relationships. I bring a wide-range of experience working with young adults pertaining to struggles of anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma.
I delicately intertwine visiting the past & understanding the impact it has on the present; all while building from one’s strengths, exploring coping strategies & practical skills to help in the healing process. I strive to truly engage with my clients, providing a compassionate, empathetic, safe and supporting environment that fosters emotional well-being.
I understand this is a huge first step and that is why I offer a FREE 15 minute phone consultation to ensure this process is a positive one for you and for the therapeutic relationship. Therapy is a powerful process that enables us to heal and live fulfilling lives. Click the “email” button to get started. I look forward to connecting soon!

Daniel Minuchin
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A, LMFT
I work with individuals, couples and families on a full range of issues: anxiety, depression, divorce, dealing with life changes, child and adolescent problems, relationship issues, etc. My style is active and eclectic. In some situations I will work actively with people to find concrete techniques to deal with specific problems. In other cases I am largely a listener while people explore their own thoughts and experiences. As a a family therapist I am attentive to the impact of the significant others around us, and to the strengths that individuals and families have. I work with families around child and adolescent issues, but I also work with families where all the members are adults, and they are dealing with issues of conflict or communication or other issues that have arisen in the family. Much of my practice is also with couples, both married and unmarried couples.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I see myself as an intuitive, creative, informed, and highly trained Clinical Psychologist that provides a safe, nonjudgmental, and transformative environment. Therapy with me fosters a deep sense of engagement and connection, a sense of feeling heard and understood, and clarity where there was previously ambiguity. I have a passion for the importance of relationships, authentic living, self-acceptance, and the complex experiences of those who hold multiple identities. I specialize in hard to talk about topics that are often stigmatized or concealed. I treat clients who are dealing with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, co-dependency, interpersonal problems (i.e., couples therapy, sex therapy), stigma/discrimination, childhood/adult sexual trauma, shame and guilt (among others). I specialize in non-traditional/diverse relationships and sexuality, complex PTSD, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, and the unique stressors of being a creative.
I work well with curious individuals who are motivated to grow, share, be vulnerable, and play in therapy and in their lives. Creativity and curiosity in psychotherapy allows both of us to explore, question, imagine, and reflect on thoughts and experiences with depth and authenticity. Together we explore more flexible ways of thinking and relating to others.
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.

Alvina Anantram
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., LMHC
Hi! I'm Alvina and I want to commend you on taking this step to start or restart therapy! I can't wait to learn more about you, but first please allow me to share a little about myself and my work with clients. As a teenager I realized the lack of conversations and understanding about mental health within the West Indian community. In my experience anxiety, depression, or self-esteem challenges were easily overlooked due to my age, and gender. The unspoken assumption that there were “bigger problems” to deal with, left me feeling overwhelmingly defeated. I quickly realized that with a safe space I could process the pressure of cookie-cutter life paths and highlight reels. I developed a stronger sense of confidence to cut through the noise and honor my own needs with greater self-love. I hope to provide the same space for you!
Together, we will gain insight into your core beliefs, attachment styles, and relationships that may be keeping you stagnant or misaligned to your goals. I encourage you to freely express all aspects of your identity, as I strongly believe that is the key to showing up unapologetically in the world. If you are ready to jump into your self-empowerment journey please connect with me, and let's begin!
