Peter Linden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified Gestalt Therapist
I offer individual, couples, and group Gestalt psychotherapy to adults ages 25 and older, including autistic adults, individuals with ADHD, learning disabilities, and other neurodivergent ways of being in the world. Many of the people I work with are struggling with anxiety, sadness, loneliness, shame, burnout, overwhelm, relational difficulties, uncertainty, or a persistent sense that they do not quite belong.
Gestalt psychotherapy is a present-centered, experiential form of therapy that helps people deepen awareness of their thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, needs, and ways of relating to themselves, others, and the world around them. Rather than focusing exclusively on insight or problem-solving, we become curious about what is happening right now and what emerges between us in the therapeutic relationship.
During sessions, I may invite you to participate in experiential exercises, known as experiments. Experiments are never imposed; they are collaboratively created and designed to help you explore, express, and deepen awareness of whatever you are experiencing in the moment. This may involve slowing down, attending to bodily sensations, noticing shifts in energy, exploring emotions, examining relational patterns, or giving voice to aspects of yourself that have been pushed aside.
Over time, many people develop greater self-support, emotional awareness, authenticity, and trust in themselves. The goal is not to become someone different, but rather to reclaim and integrate parts of yourself that may have been hidden, rejected, or forgotten, allowing you to live with greater freedom, connection, and wholeness.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
It's not the speed in life, it's the acceleration. The question isn't if we all experience anxiety in life. We do. The question is: how are we relating to that anxiety? I work with both individuals and couples on this, as well as relationship conflicts they may be experiencing, and on life transitions. Sometimes, we can feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, emotional reactivity, or self-doubt, even when things appear stable on the outside. We work together to identify patterns, build healthier communication skills, and develop practical tools to reduce or reframe anxiety and increase emotional resilience.
As a holistic life coach, I incorporate therapeutic dialogue, mindfulness, breathwork, and hypnosis to support regulation within the nervous system and lasting change. I offer a steady, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down - decelerate - gain clarity, and move toward more grounded, connected ways of living.
My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and sensitive to cultural and immigrant experiences.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Since the pandemic shook our world and the experience of how we connect with others, I have been practicing remotely. I have found that teletherapy has been as effective as meeting in person in terms of relationship building, creating a safe space, and communicating openly, honestly, and directly. For many clients with busy lives, online therapy reduces the obstacles of travel, traffic, and parking, and provides a simple way of managing billing/payment.

Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
Clients who reside locally most often schedule in-person sessions. Other local clients can elect to blend in person and remote hypnotherapy sessions using Zoom. Clients who reside out of the immediate area or in another State will have all of their sessions using Zoom. To accommodate the online process, I use a HIPAA compliant version of Zoom to protect your privacy and confidentiality. If you are not familiar with Zoom, note that it is a free download that works splendidly with a cell phone, tablet, or laptop. Once you download Zoom, and before your first session, we will connect and practice a bit at no cost to you. My goal is to make the remote process both easy and comfortable for you. My online hypnotherapy services are identical in content to those I conduct in person. In that I pride myself as being an educator charged with teaching you a lifelong skillset, you will need to be able to receive and print email attachments. Lastly, especially for those who reside out of the area, payment is by way of PayPal.

Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
I have started offering teletherapy in addition to in-person appointments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but plan to continue for the convenience of therapy clients even after the pandemic ends. Teletherapy has proven to be a viable and effective option for clients who otherwise for various reasons would not be able to access therapy services in person.
