Psychologist, Doctor of Clinical Psychology
Dr. Tonia Vojtkofsky specializes in psychotherapy for adults and psychological evaluations for immigration cases.
I believe there is hope for you, no matter what you are struggling with, or how intense your painful emotions are. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and evidenced-based treatments that empower people to learn, grow, and heal.
Focused on the principles of neuroplasticity, I help clients mindfully navigate symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD, grief, and anger through Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Exposure with Response Prevention, and skills-based therapies such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
I value psychotherapy that addresses the whole person. My goal is to help people overcome difficulties, reach their potential, and effect real and lasting change.
It takes courage to face our difficulties and ask for help. Together we can find strategies to help you feel better and develop the life you want to live. I invite you to email me to schedule a free 10 minute phone consultation at Contact@DrToniaV.com

Maureen Backman
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MS
I’m a therapist because I believe in the healing strength of being with: Being with our feelings, our present moment experience, and each other. So often, we walk through life feeling alone and disconnected. Therapy is a place for you to unfold and expand into a life that feels more authentic and spacious, a place for you to experience connection and transformation.
Clients who work with me often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and creative. In addition to what you might think of when hear the words “talk therapy,” I also incorporate art, movement, and mindfulness into our sessions. I view my clients and myself as co-collaborators in the therapy process, and work with you to create a space that feels supportive and safe. I take a non-pathologizing approach, honoring the strategies that got you to this moment, and supporting you as you unfold into your authentic self.

Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I specialize in helping trauma survivors, especially survivors of childhood and/or adult sexual trauma, reclaim the life they were meant to live. If you're struggling with symptoms related to trauma, such as being easily triggered, anxiety or depression, dissociation (feeling spaced out, numb, unable to ground, or connect to your body's sensations) trouble sleeping, nightmares, or flashbacks and more, you're in the right place (for an extensive list of trauma symptoms check out my post https://www.healingsexualtrauma.com/post/what-are-trauma-symptoms). My goal is to help you get the results you're looking for while offering lots of needed compassion and understanding. I'm the author of the Healing Sexual Trauma Workbook, the upcoming Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal (2024), and teacher of the PESI Sexual Trauma Clinical Training. I'm dedicated to supporting my clients as they navigate their healing journey.
