Tiyahna M
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC,LPCMH,NCC,C-DBT
In a world that moves quickly and often demands more than we feel we can give, mental health is not a luxury—it's a necessity. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can offer a path forward. I’m glad you’re here.
As a licensed mental health therapist, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Everyone’s journey is unique, and so is the way we approach healing. Here’s what I offer in my practice:
1. Individual Therapy
I work one-on-one with adults and adolescents who are looking for support with:
Anxiety and stress management
Depression and mood disorders
Trauma and PTSD
Life transitions and identity issues
Self-esteem and personal growth
Our sessions are client-centered and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed care, tailoring my approach to what works best for you.
2. Couples & Relationship Counseling
Relationships can be both fulfilling and challenging. I offer therapy for couples seeking to:
Improve communication
Rebuild trust
Navigate conflict
Strengthen emotional connection
Whether you're in a long-term relationship, navigating new dynamics, or working through a separation, I help partners develop healthier patterns and a deeper understanding of each other.
Culturally Sensitive, Inclusive Care
I honor the diversity of every client I work with. My practice is inclusive and affirming of all identities—cultural, racial, sexual, and gender. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and respected.
Teletherapy Options
I offer secure virtual sessions for clients who prefer or require remote access. Teletherapy is a flexible, convenient option for those with busy schedules, mobility challenges, or who live outside the area.
Why Therapy? Why Now?
You don’t need to be in crisis to start therapy. Sometimes, just having a space to talk, reflect, and grow can make all the difference. Healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself—it’s about understanding yourself better and learning to live more fully and authentically.

Ryan Ramsey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Being authentic matters to me. I show up as a real person in the therapy room, and I want you to feel like you can do the same. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, open up, and unpack everything you’ve been carrying: the stress, the thoughts you keep to yourself, the experiences you’ve been through, and all the stuff life has handed you. When people feel safe enough to be honest and real, that’s when therapy really helps.
I’m informal, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I believe that the relationship between us is far more important than any technique or theory. When you feel comfortable, understood, and really seen, you’re more likely to take risks, speak your truth, and make real changes.
That said, I do bring strong clinical training when it’s useful. I have advanced training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy from the Albert Ellis Institute in New York. REBT is one tool in my toolbox and something we can use to help you understand and challenge your thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and create new ways of responding to stress, relationships, and life in general. But therapy with me isn’t rigid or overly structured. It’s a conversation. It’s two humans sitting down, figuring things out together.
If you’re motivated to change, to feel better, to understand yourself more deeply, or to get clearer about where you want your life to go, I can help you.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Like many of you, the pandemic profoundly impacted the way I live and work. I moved my practice completely online in the face of COVID restrictions and have not returned to in person work. I was impressed with the way that online therapy offered clients many more options for their work with me and I found clients able to keep up with their sessions consistently and reliably with more connection options open to them. Via safe and secure telehealth sessions, I offer parent consultation for kiddos under 10, online therapy with older kids, teens and families and individual therapy for adults, specializing in trauma and trauma focused therapies.

We live within various systems and institutions that impact how we navigate our lives in relation to each other. My work is grounded in community care, growth, liberation, joy, resilience, healing, and justice.

My approach is rooted in liberation, relational, and psychodynamic work through an anti-oppressive lens, and includes modalities such as somatics, narrative therapy, and mindfulness.

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.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
We often think of ourselves as what we are given, but instead it's what we make of what we're given. I am guided by a view of identity as a creative narrative and see distress as often occurring when we feel stuck in that creation, bound to selves and lives that aren't working. The goal in therapy is not only to understand how and why we got stuck, but to reengage with our creative and imaginative selves, allowing us to explore new facets of ourselves and experiment with new ways of being. In many ways, we reduce suffering by reintroducing play in our worlds.
Storytelling, deep reflection, imagination, and play are pillars of my practice. I work with you to understand, reimagine, and reorganize your experience so that you can unlock self-transformation and achieve your desired changes.
I believe the past is always present, but we are not necessarily bound by it. Change is always possible, even if it is always hard. If you're at a stage where you feel stuck and uncertain, or like you've wandered off your path, or have no clue what path you're even on, I encourage you to reach out to me. We can imagine and explore new pathways together.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
Trauma is profound: it shapes how we organize our experiences, relate to other people, and respond to life's ebbs and flows. It can also leave us feeling stuck and painfully limited. Together we can make sense of your story, identify unconscious patterns that no longer suit you, and create room in your mind to live with greater freedom. If you're looking to effect deep change in your life, I welcome you to reach out for a free consultation.

Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
I provide therapy for gay men and hold licenses in New Jersey, New York, and Utah. Many gay men worry that a therapist might not fully understand their experiences or that they’ll have to hide parts of themselves in session. I once shared those same concerns, and they’re what inspired me to become a therapist who offers affirming, authentic care. Together, we’ll create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can find clarity, growth, and the confidence to live more fully.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, trained at Columbia University, with additional certification as a sex therapist through AASECT and advanced relationship training from The Couples Institute. Over the past two decades, I’ve supported gay men in a variety of settings—including the NYC LGBT Community Center and Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC).
