Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Do you suffer from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, BPD, suicidal ideation, or have you been the victim of domestic abuse? In my experience, I have coordinated crisis interventions and utilized Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with people who harm others or themselves, especially those who have experienced violence in their families. I believe that the behaviors we display are part of a larger function. Collectively, they comprise the larger tapestry of the human experience, while also acknowledging the uniqueness of each human as they make their way through life.
Using trauma informed care and intensive DBT training, I will help you manage life's everyday stressors. "Dialectics" are an essential component of DBT, which helps normalize multiple truths that may exist at once in our life. Other modalities I have experience in include but are not limited to the Duluth Domestic Violence Model and Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
I recognize that reaching out for help may be a difficult first step. Working with individuals, I will focus not on judging what we do, but on why and how we do it, so together we can determine whether it accomplishes what we intended. I look forward to starting this journey with you.

Dr. Bruce Pace
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you want your life to change in a meaningful way, but you need help determining and taking the individual steps required to meet your goals, therapy is an excellent choice. Many people expect therapy to involve sessions where there is emotion focused discussion and deep introspection. With a Cognitive-Behavioral approach, the emotions or feelings are secondary in the healing process. We focus on how your actions impact your circumstances, and how you can change your behavior to change the life you’re living. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, we are likely a good fit.
I love sharing what I know so that you can feel and act better in your life. We will collaborate to set goals and track improvements as they occur. I believe we all have brand new opportunities to make new choices in each moment that will improve our lives. The power to change is not dependent on our past choices but on how we decide to live in this moment.
I work with individuals, couples, and families. I give a lot of advice and see myself as an educator who can use my knowledge to equip you with helpful tools. I am trained in the Gottman method and believe that conflict between partners is inevitable and that improving the frequency and quality of positive interactions is vital to long-term stability of the relationship. I also work with children and their families, especially focusing on ADHD, ODD, and anxiety. When a child is experiencing these sorts of concerns, I approach progress and resolution with the parents and child together. I believe in the goodness of children, and that setting them up for good choices is something that rests largely in the family environment.
I am also an expert in ADHD evaluation and treatment. I am very thorough in my reports and recommendations. Evolutionarily, ADHD is a strength, and I love helping shed light on how to best navigate this world with an eye to the strengths and available strategies and habits that can set you on a sustainable path.

Evan Podolak, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe that deciding to make changes in your life is courageous. My approach is to work as a partner, collaborating with my patients as they journey towards a more fulfilling life, building new skills and looking at the world in a new way. I use a cognitive-behavioral approach that focuses on developing new skills, problem solving and altering beliefs that are holding you back from living at your best.
My goal is to help patients overcome problems with anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, substance abuse, anger management and issues related to grief and loss. By doing so they can achieve improved mood, increased self-esteem, enhanced sense of control, reduced stress and have more rewarding relationships.
CBT works by helping patients examine their beliefs about the challenges in their lives, develop new coping skills and create a more positive outlook. By looking at this website, you have already started your process of change.
