Arielle Grossman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Your current stop on your journey is never your final destination. Often we feel stuck, unable to move forward due to the heavy baggage being lugged around. In session with me, you can begin to unpack this bag and maybe eventually leave it behind, moving with more freedom than ever before in your life. I work with teens and adults, who are struggling with depression, anger, trauma, and anxiety. I work also with couples and families.

Elizabeth Nims
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I focus on supporting women navigating major life changes and stressors with compassion, warmth, and unconditional positive regard. I utilize session time to understand my clients challenges and provide them with helpful insight, alternative perspectives, as well as coping skills and tools to utilize in day to day life to aid them in regulating their emotions and increasing self trust and confidence. I enjoy getting to know my clients better and forming a trusting therapeutic alliance. I have experience in treating stress/burnout, anxiety, ruptures in interpersonal relationships, life changes (work, school, relationships), and overall helping my clients know themselves better and become aligned with their most genuine, authentic selves. I look forward to connecting with you and being part of your healing journey.

Layla Ashley Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many couples struggle when conflict keeps repeating or one partner feels unseen, and distance grows even when both care deeply. In online sessions, I help partners slow down these patterns, recognize what’s happening beneath the surface, and build the skills to stay emotionally connected. Through attachment‑based and trauma‑informed practices, I guide couples toward communication that is safe, honest, and repair-focused, even when stress or past wounds are present. Online therapy can be a convenient, contained space to explore challenges together without the distractions of daily life.

Dr. Mazmanyan and Associates
Psychologist, Ph.D
Struggling with anxiety, relationship stress, or feeling overwhelmed? You don’t have to navigate it alone. At Dr. Mazmanyan & Associates, we provide attachment-based and relational therapy for individuals, couples, and families. We believe emotional healing and a sense of self develop through relationships and are shaped by early experiences, family dynamics, and cultural contexts. Therapy focuses on understanding how these patterns formed, honoring how they once served a purpose, and gently reshaping them to better support current relationships, emotional well-being, and self-trust.
