Lauren Bradley
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My mission is to bring ease to therapy with a relaxed, down-to-earth approach, where comfort and insight go hand in hand. Clients can look forward to several key benefits from our sessions, including Enhanced Self-Understanding, Coping Strategies, Personal Growth, Increased Emotional Well-being and Insight.
I specialize in a wide range of areas, including anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma and post-traumatic stress, sexual violence, grief, coping with chronic illness or cancer, life transitions, relationship and family issues, low self-esteem, women’s and men’s health, as well as caregiver distress and burnout. Together, we’ll work on building the tools and insights you need to achieve greater mental and emotional well-being.
I take a very participatory approach in sessions. While I provide a space for clients to express themselves freely, I also actively engage in the conversation, offering insights, feedback, and guidance. I aim to create a collaborative environment where we work together to explore challenges, identify solutions, and foster growth.

Sally Roesch
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Some people struggle with impulsivity. Others struggle with too much control. Overthinking every decision, following rigid internal rules, and feeling like they have to perform a certain way in social situations. If you relate to the latter, therapy with me might be a good fit. You might be highly competent in many areas of life but find that when it comes to emotions and relationships, things feel frustratingly more complicated.
I also work with people navigating narcissistic personality dynamics. Whether you’ve been labeled "a narcissist" yourself or have spent years struggling in a relationship with someone who fits the description, we can sort through reality, break unhelpful patterns, and find a path to healthier relationships without losing yourself.
I am experienced in working with those who may be struggling with relationship issues, Narcissistic tendencies, mood disorders, impulse behavior, and anxiety. I help clients improve communication, assertiveness, and self-worth. My goal is to help you clarify desires, address obstacles, and achieve your goals. I am committed to providing direct, effective support; no tiptoeing around.
I am intensively trained in Radically-Open DBT (RO-DBT), a specialized treatment for Chronic Depression, Anorexia-Nervosa, and disorders of Over-Control (OC). Radically-Open DBT promotes openness, flexibility, and direct communication as well as other practical, evidence-based therapies. You’ll get clear feedback, collaboration, and usable skills - not endless past analysis or forced positivity. My goal is to identify the patterns that keep you stuck, learn new ways of approaching emotions and relationships, and move toward something different without losing who you are.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I work from a collaborative perspective with teen and adult clients over online therapy. My approach is integrative, drawing from relational, family systems, behavioral, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed modalities to help clients better understand themselves, shift longstanding patterns, and build more fulfilling lives. I value a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy, honesty, and mutual engagement. I especially enjoy working with clients who are motivated for growth—those who are ready to do the work of developing insight, building emotional resilience, and making meaningful shifts in their lives. Generally weekly appointments are recommended, though some clients benefit from more frequent meetings.

Maricia Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Some might look at an online therapy relationship as being inauthentic or diluted but I strive to build relationships that are quite the opposite in my online therapy practice. My goal is to create a space where my client feels safe, encouraged, understood and empowered. A space where the integrity of the therapeutic relationship is paramount. I have found that being in the comfort of your chosen space while sharing in mine, clients and I are able to create a relationship built on trust which enhances the ability to be vulnerable, along with flexibility and a shared convenience between us. In all, these factors allow for a therapeutic environment that leads to high levels of accomplishment in whatever area of concern/s is being addressed.

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).
