Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Pain is an inevitable part of life, but we don't have to suffer needlessly. Suffering occurs when anxiety takes over our thoughts and actions. We become anxious about facing our fears, so we avoid them. We're anxious about letting others get close, so we isolate ourselves. Psychotherapy can be a way out of these defensive patterns. While we can't prevent difficulties and tragedies, we can learn to manage our emotional reactions to external events and relationships. Self-empowerment comes from finding the courage to confront our inner world, regardless of how complicated and messy it may be.

Fiorella Chujutalli
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, AMFT
Are you tired of fighting with your partner and being misunderstood? Do you feel like you are trying your best but nothing seems to work? Do you miss the person you first fell in love with? Or maybe you and your partner are thinking about marriage but want to work on some important things first? These are all signs that you could benefit from couple's therapy.
I am a bilingual Hispanic therapist who specializes in helping couples "speak the same language" so that they can better understand each other's needs and grow closer together.
I also have plenty of experience working with people with chronic illnesses and helping them and their family reduce the stress that the illness may have caused in the home.
I get that seeking help is not always easy, but if you are wanting to start this journey towards a more healthy relationship and a life with more joy, I am only one call or email away. I am offering sessions in English or Spanish upon request. Call or email me for a free 15-min consultation!

Regina Lazarovich
Psychologist, PhD
If you’re tired of fear, anxiety, and insecurity running your life, I can help you take charge! I can help with anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, OCD, ADHD, skin picking, hair pulling, binge eating, emotional eating, negative body image, and perfectionism.
I create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can be yourself. My style is attentive, compassionate, and encouraging. Together, we'll understand how fear and self-judgment are getting in the way of the life you want. I'll equip you with tools to change unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior. As a result of our work together, you'll cultivate more peace, confidence, and joy.
I’ve helped hundreds of clients over the past fifteen years. I'm skilled in several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), Comprehensive Behavioral Treatment (ComB), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), Health at Every Size (HAES), and Intuitive Eating. I’ll tailor these approaches to your unique circumstances and needs. Together, we’ll set goals, and I will create a treatment plan to help you reach them. I'll help you take small steps to make positive changes in your life and support you every step of the way!
Meeting with a new therapist can feel scary and vulnerable. That's why I offer a free 20-minute consultation to help you get a sense of my approach and to ensure that I'm the right fit for you. Visit my website to learn more: www.CompassCBT.com

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.
