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.

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.

Ryan Ramsey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
“In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities; in the expert’s mind there are few.” This Zen Buddhist quote guides my way of being a therapist. I strive to keep a “beginner’s mind”: to stay curious, open, and humble. To not assume things, or forget the uniqueness of every person and situation I encounter as a therapist. My aim is to stay present to what is happening, not to “fix” you or tell you how to live, but to use my awareness to help you find your own answers and to define your own path.
We’re just going to talk. To slow down, be present, and to notice thoughts, emotions, and patterns. We’ll be real and we’ll be honest. You can express yourself without pressure and without fear of judgement here.
The next step is to just reach out: call, email, or visit my website to book an initial consultation. I look forward to talking with you.
