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.

Zaray Dratch
Pre-Licensed Professional, MFT-LP
Relationships break down in specific ways. Betrayal. Walls that went up so slowly you didn't notice until you were already strangers. Sexual disconnection that nobody knows how to talk about. A rupture that left you wondering whether repair is even possible. If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. This is a space built for exactly those conversations, the ones that feel too raw, too shameful, or too complicated to have anywhere else. Warm, judgment-free, and focused on helping you get somewhere real.

Dr. David Amarel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
After decades of providing psychotherapy and assessment in offices, I’ve moved recently (2019) into a different space: video. Active listening in a safe, private setting is foundational to this work. I’ve learned that the catalytic elements of good therapy can thrive via video too. Save yourself a trip away from work or home!
