Daniel Lazar
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MBA
I work with boys and men and the women who love them. We tackle things like anger, career, anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. My uncommon mix of business experience and therapeutic skill help me connect with clients over the nuanced and emotional challenges of work. I am also a husband and a parent, which helps me relate to my clients on a familial and partnership level as well. No matter the issue or the client, our work is collaborative. Together we make space for empathy, show judgement the door, and stand side-by-side throughout the process of growth and change. Whether you are a man or a woman with a man in your life, you are never alone in this work.

Altagracia "Grace" Akopyan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #145795
I like to think that becoming a therapist was not by chance. I know it could be difficult to seek help because I have been in your shoes before. I remember going to my first therapist when I was a distressed young adult in a toxic relationship with anxiety and depression symptoms. It took me time and much needed self healing before I came out feeling whole and full of purpose again. My therapist then helped me change my life for the better and I decided at that point that this path was the right path for me. I am a therapist because I want to help others who are in need, as I once was. If God permits, I hope to be a part of your path to opening up this new beautiful chapter that awaits you.
