Dr. Marco Fekrat
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist working with individuals and couples. My specialties include relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, sexuality and working with the LGBTQ population. My goal is to help you better balance yourself in the present, day to day, and dive deep with you to understand the root cause. Truly effective therapy, in my view, happens when we are ready to look deeply and critically at our current situation, ready to make sustainable, and practical changes.
My work is active and focused. I will actively listen while utilizing direct questioning to fully understand core beliefs. I believe therapy can be both fun and rewarding. My goals are for you to regain better control of your symptoms and achieve your highest level of functioning as quickly as possible.
We’ll work together to help you re-ignite your passions, build healthier relationships, and uncover a more authentic self. I look forward to meeting you via a free phone/video consultation about what it is you see yourself as needing and deciding together if we would be a good fit.

Where within you does conflict persist?
Is it in the body, a swirling energy the surges without explanation, keeping you spinning in thought circles and struggling to sleep or relax (ANXIETY)?
Is it in the heart, the whistling emptiness of grief, or the stabbing pain of ruptured relationships, and lost connections (DEPRESSION)?
Is it in the head, thoughts that won’t stop reciting their well worn verses of what-ifs and should-haves (OCD/ADHD)?
Is it in the spirit, an anguish of being, the unknown outnumbering the known to a paralyzing degree, questions of WHY swirling intangible as mist, existential questions, the ground beneath our feet uneven and unsteady (BELIEF/MEANING)?
Is it in all of the above, and in your dreams as well, impacting ability to connect with others, to be still with yourself, to be intimate, to give and receive love, to accept what was, embrace what will be, and surrender to the now (TRAUMA)?

Dr. Catherine Ferreira-Babor, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Psy.D.
When you are feeling hopeless, confused, and dejected about your life, relationships, mood etc, I can help you understand what is happening, why it is happening, and what to do about it. You might need help problem solving. You might need help developing some self-compassion. You might need help deepening your understanding of yourself. Whether its a short term approach or a longer term, psychoanalytically-oriented course of treatment, I am especially good at creating an environment that fosters healing.

Counseling For Couples, Families and Children, Dr Mickey
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT
When DIVORCE feels like the answer, and that thought breaks your heart...overwhelmed by shock, anger, disappointment, regret and deep sorrow...frozen by confusion, fear, humiliation and hopelessness...exhausted by the constant flooding of these feelings which lead to bitter battles, and sleepless nights. Trying to engage in meaningful conversation is frustrating and enraging. An experienced, understanding counselor can help calm your emotional tidal waves, stop intrusive, hurtful thoughts, and help you find your way again. Even if the cause is an affair, an addiction, a bitter betrayal, a stressful life or difficult in-laws.
