Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
Michael Brustein is a Clinical Psychologist in NYC with training from Harvard Medical School and Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. He works with high-striving, curious professionals who struggle with anxiety, anger, OCD, and perfectionism. He also works extensively with executives, founders, and C-suite leaders navigating burnout, high-pressure decision making, leadership stress, and the emotional costs of sustained performance. His book, Perfectionism: A Guide for Mental Health Professionals, is one of the foundational textbooks for clinicians learning to manage perfectionistic clients. As an assistant professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Michael has taught psychotherapy techniques, abnormal psychology, and group therapy.
Michael's approach integrates CBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic theory. His integrated approach helps clients increase their emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and capacity to navigate relationships. Michael teaches clients practical techniques to help reduce rumination and emotional reactivity.
Michael also has extensive training in psychodynamic theory to help clients facilitate self-discovery and exploration. Through empathic listening, Michael creates a safe environment where clients feel comfortable reflecting on and gaining insight into their relationship patterns and the underlying causes of problematic emotional responses. He also integrates bibliotherapy and cinema into his therapeutic practice to facilitate deeper exploration of clients' thoughts, emotions, and relationship dynamics. Often, clients identify with characters, plotlines, and themes that mirror personal struggles or internal conflicts that may be difficult to verbalize or express consciously.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve already done work and want to go deeper. I offer a supportive, down-to-earth space to sort through what feels stuck, overwhelming, or hard to name. My approach is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma-informed care, but always tailored to what you need most.
I work with adults carrying the weight of childhood neglect or trauma, as well as those navigating stress in parenting, relationships, or work. Along the way, we focus on building clarity, connection, and trust so change feels possible—and lasting.
I also provide consultation and supervision for licensed therapists and offer parenting consultations. My practice is 100% telehealth, making therapy more flexible and accessible across Washington State and Psychpact states throughout the United States.

Tracy Feldman-Ashdale
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe that meaningful change happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. With more than 25 years of experience as a therapist and wellness professional, I bring a compassionate, down-to-earth, and collaborative approach to helping clients navigate life's challenges particularly around issues with food, diet/binge cycling, body image, self-esteem, and relationships.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my warm, genuine style and my ability to balance empathy with practical guidance. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and patterns at your own pace while feeling supported and empowered throughout the process.
My work is grounded in the belief that emotional and physical well-being are deeply connected. In addition to my training in social work and psychotherapy, I have specialized training in intuitive eating and functional wellness, which allows me to take a whole-person approach to healing. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-worth, emotional eating, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, I help you uncover the root causes of your challenges while building practical tools for lasting change.
I don't believe therapy is about fixing what's wrong with you. Instead, it's about helping you reconnect with your strengths, gain insight into patterns that may be holding you back, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are. We will work through your personalized goals to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.
I believe true health is not built through perfection or extremes, but through sustainable habits, self-awareness, and learning how to work with your body instead of against it. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood, empowered, and capable of building a healthier, more balanced life that genuinely feels good to maintain.

Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
No commute, waiting rooms, or fluorescent lights. We meet virtually - whether you're curled up on your couch, parked in your car between meetings, or in your favorite oversized hoodie hiding from the world. Therapy for anxiety and trauma should fit into your real life, not the other way around.
Each 50-minute session is focused and collaborative. I draw from ACT, IFS, EMDR, and somatic therapy to help you look beneath the overthinking, self-doubt, and “just push through it” mode. This is a space to slow down, get clear, and start responding to life from a place of intention - not pressure.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I offer secure and confidential online therapy for individuals and couples seeking flexibility and convenience without sacrificing the depth or quality of care. Telehealth allows clients to engage in meaningful therapeutic work from the comfort of their own environment while maintaining consistency in treatment.
My approach to online therapy remains collaborative, practical, and insight-oriented. Sessions focus on building self-awareness, improving emotional regulation, and developing effective coping and communication skills. I also incorporate education about how stress, anxiety, and trauma affect the brain and nervous system, helping clients better understand and manage their emotional responses in real time.
Online therapy can be an effective and accessible way to engage in personal growth, strengthen relationships, and address life’s challenges while maintaining the demands of work, family, and daily life.
