My approach focuses on delivering effective strategies that cultivate emotional connections with oneself and empower women to pursue their goals from a place of worthiness and self-confidence. I guide women in identifying specific obstacles that block them from moving forward and provide a process that quickly identifies their pain points to create fast solutions for lifelong change and success.

Michelle Directo
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP, ExA
Hello, my name is Michelle.
I am a registered psychotherapist who draws from a variety of different approaches. I am a mother of 4 children. I love to read, go hiking, meet new people, and traveling. I appreciate the steps that you are taking towards change and growth. I personally understand what it is like to come from a place of needing and asking for help. This awareness helps me to empathize and create a place for you to share your unique experiences. I would love the opportunity to provide a safe space for you to do so. It would to be an honor for me to help you re-write new chapters in your story. I provide a 15 minute free consultation in which you can determine if I am the right fit for you.

Lauren Jin Yong Schneider
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P. (Qualifying)
I understand reaching out to begin therapy can be intimidating. My biggest priority is ensuring you feel comfortable, genuinely seen, supported, with empathy and without judgment. I help support clients struggling with anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, eating disorders, trauma, relationship and communication issues, emotion dysregulation, as well as concerns related to self-esteem and self-development.
My approach to therapy centers my clients, integrating evidence-based approaches of cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, emotion-focused, and acceptance & commitment therapies as well as distress tolerance and mindfulness-based interventions. Above all, I believe in providing collaborative, individualized care, where we'll work together to discover your hopes, strengths, therapeutic goals, and an approach that resonates with you.
Feel free to reach out for a free consultation to chat further about your concerns and our fitness to work together. I look forward to meeting you!

Brian Baumal
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
I lost 100lbs and currently kept it off for eight years (I started August 15, 2012). I know the challenges of wanting so desperately to change but being unable to do so. I also know the constant mind chatter that plagues people who want to improve their health but just can't seem to do so. As a therapist, I take these issues and challenges very seriously, and work with clients to successfully find ways to manage their weight and health.
I remember at my heaviest weight, I wanted to talk to someone who had been there, done that & understood I so badly wanted to change and my frustration at not changing. I wanted someone who could quiet my mind when it worried about my weight and help me gain control of my body and life. I know what it's like to start losing weight, only to abandon the effort shortly thereafter. If you repeat that pattern and put your health and quality of life at risk, then you likely feel that there are issues that need to be addressed psychologically - I can help!
Finally, I absolutely love what I do, and I hope it shows in every session that I have with my clients.
