Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
Dr. Alisha Desai is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, perfectionism, OCD, trauma, burnout, and overwhelm. She has advanced training in gold-standard, evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), exposure therapies (including ERP, PE, and WET), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
You may be someone others see as successful, capable, and dependable, but, internally, you feel anxious, depleted, or never quite good enough. Perhaps you hold yourself to impossibly high standards, struggle to switch off your mind, second-guess your decisions, or feel pressure to keep it all together. Whether you’re navigating career demands, relationships, major life transitions, or challenging past experiences, therapy can help you understand what’s keeping you stuck and find a different way forward.

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.

Eric Tivers (ADHD reWired)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
I’m an AuDHD, queer, and sex-positive therapist who gets what it’s like to live in a brain that doesn’t always play by the rules. I work with adults across Illinois who have ADHD, autism, or both — folks who are tired of shame and ready for something that actually works. Together, we’ll untangle what’s getting in the way, build systems that fit your life (not the other way around), and bring humor and compassion to the process. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, kink-aware, and rooted in understanding, not judgment.

Emily Hurlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
Online couples therapy with me isn't a watered-down version of the real thing. The approach I use, PACT, relies on watching how partners respond to each other in the moment: a shift in posture, a look away, a change in tone. Video captures that well. Many couples find it easier to settle in from their own living room, and it removes the drive, the babysitter scramble, and the waitlist. If you're in Iowa, Illinois, or Tennessee, we can start from wherever you are.
