Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
I do my best to listen in the service of understanding and provide thoughtful responsiveness, which I have found helps my clients connect to their inner life and with others. Using gentle honesty and compassion, I value autonomy and collaboration to help people feel less alone while finding a sense of purpose within their lives and in the world.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, a trauma survivor, and someone with a chronic pain disorder; I approach the work that I do from a place of empathy and personal understanding. I have an intense passion for understanding personal identity and the way race, culture, class, and sexuality come together to form what we believe about ourselves and what we feel we can accomplish in our lives. Anxiety and trauma can live in our bodies - together we will create a relationship that fosters dynamic and lasting growth, tapping into undiscovered reserves of resiliency that will help navigate the past and prepare for a more hopeful future.

Stacey Hellman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
If you've tried traditional therapy in the past and didn't get the results you wanted, you've come to the right place. I am trained in non-traditional, integrative and holistic methods and I have found that "just talking" is the slowest way to do therapy. My areas of expertise are addictions, trauma, and anxiety though I have lots of clients struggling with relationship conflicts, divorce, and loss of a loved one as well. My goals are to help clients gain insight, connect with themselves authentically, heal from past traumatic experiences, and live more fully in the present moment. Reaching out for help is a sign that you want a more meaningful life and know that you deserve it. I look forward to crossing paths with you when you are ready. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit so please contact me today to get started! I offer in-person sessions primarily and only do telehealth when in-person truly isn't an option. My experience is that telehealth has not been nearly as effective as in-person sessions for the type of therapy modalities I offer. I look forward to meeting you in person so I can best support you in achieving your goals.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance), and the brain/body's ability to heal. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and mind/body tools to assist you in your healing. I am certified in both Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) as well as a certified +HeartMath practitioner. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic, and knowledgeable.
