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.

Nadira Jackson - TherapyWithDira
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I believe that healing happens in the context of trust. That kind of trust takes time, and I’m committed to walking alongside you as we build a relationship rooted in mutual respect, honesty, and care. Together, we co-create a space where you don’t have to perform, shrink, or hide. You get to just be—and from there, we explore what’s been getting in the way of living more freely and fully.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Experienced culturally-informed individual/couples therapist, supervisor and training analyst. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck — in relationships that don't work, careers that feel hollow, or patterns they can't seem to escape no matter how hard they try. As a Licensed Psychoanalyst with over 15 years of experience, I offer a different kind of therapy: one that goes beneath the surface to understand the unconscious forces that shape your choices and experiences.
Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with what life throws your way, and why certain patterns keep repeating — and what you can do to change them. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to live more consciously and deliberately.

I use techniques in Guided Focus in Technicolor Flow (TM) to help clients process old hurts and trauma.

Clients have a recording of the hypnosis to listen to on their own time to reinforce positivity and calm.

Joseph W. LaFleur
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, DWTF, SEP, C-PATP
Online therapy offers the same quality care as in-person sessions with added flexibility and accessibility. For many clients, the comfort of their own space makes it easier to open up about difficult topics—things that might feel harder to say face-to-face can sometimes flow more freely from the privacy of home. Whether you're managing a demanding schedule, living in an area without nearby providers, or simply prefer the convenience of teletherapy, our secure video sessions allow you to engage in meaningful therapeutic work from wherever you are. We serve clients throughout DC, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, and New York, bringing experienced, affirming care directly to you.

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.

Karen Bisignano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
After trauma, healing begins with understanding your experience. Trauma isn't just the event; it's the inability to make sense of what happened, often leaving you stuck in repetitive, unhealthy relationships. Whether or not you recognize childhood abuse or neglect, its effects show up subtly. You found a way to survive an absent, rigid, or abusive dynamic, but everyday life can still trigger those old wounds. You might feel a loss of control, carry deep self-doubt, or constantly put others first to your own detriment. If you are wondering how to help yourself and take the next step, you do not have to navigate this alone.
It takes immense courage to seek therapy when carrying trauma or pain. You do not have to carry it alone anymore. In our sessions—using EMDR with other modalities, we will work as a collaborative team at a pace that feels entirely safe for you. You are always the driver here. Together, we will build the lasting tools you need to reclaim your life.
I know how scary reaching out is—I've been in your shoes. Years ago, navigating trauma, divorce, and family hardships, I resisted restarting therapy. But taking that leap helped me rebuild an empowered version of myself. You deserve to feel lighter and in control again, too. Contact me today and lets see if we're a good fit.
