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!

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Online therapy isn't a compromise. For the kind of work I do, it's often the better choice. When you're talking about the most personal parts of your life, desire, intimacy, identity, relationship dynamics, being in your own space matters. You're more comfortable, more yourself, and often more open than you'd be in a waiting room and an unfamiliar office. That's not a small thing. It's actually the whole thing.
I work with individuals and couples navigating sexual concerns, intimacy issues, desire mismatches, and relational disconnection across New York, Connecticut, and Michigan. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, and I bring genuine curiosity and deep clinical training to every session. Nothing you bring here will shock me or get pathologized.
Sessions are secure, HIPAA-compliant, and available within about a week of reaching out.

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.

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.

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.
