Dr. Sophia Aguirre
Psychologist, Ph.D., CGP, F-AGPA
I am a Licensed Psychologist and founder of the Aguirre Center of Inclusive Psychotherapy, a group practiced dedicated to providing culturally-affirming psychotherapy. I have a passion for working with folks who hold marginalized identities including Latinx, BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and relationship-structure minorities.
I have over a decade of experience of providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and groups with a wide-range of concerns and struggles, but a common focus in my clinical work is helping individuals establishing healthier, more authentic relationships with themselves and with others.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in EMDR therapy to help individuals heal from trauma and narcissistic abuse, and to return to a place of self-love and emotional balance. Experiences of childhood physical, emotional or sexual abuse can remain stuck in the body, as can instances of narcissistic abuse. These have the potential to contribute to symptoms of depression, anxiety, and hypervigilance as well as problems successfully navigating relationships and managing daily living. I utilize EMDR therapy to change the way these negative memories are stored in the brain, and help you achieve a place of resolution and peace. As a neuropsychologist, I can help you condition your thoughts and rewire your brain for happiness and success.

Peace in Mind Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MFT
I tell a lot of my clients, "it is never about the thing". What this means is that there is always a deeper meaning behind what you struggle with. It is never just about the, burnt toast, dishes in the sink, or getting stuck in traffic. My goal with you is to get to the underlying issue of the stress, anxiety, and depression and more often than not, it is about unresolved trauma. My favorite question word is, "why?" so this is what I'll try to find for you--the reason--so we can prioritize outcomes. I want to see you thrive, so I prefer you come into therapy ready to work hard to attack the problem.

Alice Bernstein
Psychologist, PhD.
Each person has his/her own unique history, preferences, traits, hopes, and expectations. I attempt to understand this individuality, the experiences and limitations that led to the development of problems, and to develop a relationship and interventions that are helpful.
