Dr. Bruce Pace
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you want your life to change in a meaningful way, but you need help determining and taking the individual steps required to meet your goals, therapy is an excellent choice. Many people expect therapy to involve sessions where there is emotion focused discussion and deep introspection. With a Cognitive-Behavioral approach, the emotions or feelings are secondary in the healing process. We focus on how your actions impact your circumstances, and how you can change your behavior to change the life you’re living. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, we are likely a good fit.
I love sharing what I know so that you can feel and act better in your life. We will collaborate to set goals and track improvements as they occur. I believe we all have brand new opportunities to make new choices in each moment that will improve our lives. The power to change is not dependent on our past choices but on how we decide to live in this moment.
I work with individuals, couples, and families. I give a lot of advice and see myself as an educator who can use my knowledge to equip you with helpful tools. I am trained in the Gottman method and believe that conflict between partners is inevitable and that improving the frequency and quality of positive interactions is vital to long-term stability of the relationship. I also work with children and their families, especially focusing on ADHD, ODD, and anxiety. When a child is experiencing these sorts of concerns, I approach progress and resolution with the parents and child together. I believe in the goodness of children, and that setting them up for good choices is something that rests largely in the family environment.
I am also an expert in ADHD evaluation and treatment. I am very thorough in my reports and recommendations. Evolutionarily, ADHD is a strength, and I love helping shed light on how to best navigate this world with an eye to the strengths and available strategies and habits that can set you on a sustainable path.

Jack Hazan Modern Therapy Group
Licensed Professional Counselor
As an Anxiety specialist, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals who grapple with challenges in Relationships, Intimacy, and Avoidant Behaviors stemming from various sources such as Adult Childhood Trauma, Codependency, Addiction (inclusive of excessive behaviors related to Sex, Porn, and Apps), as well as those contending with impulsive behaviors, including ADHD. My passion lies in using a trauma-based model to guide individuals towards overcoming obstacles and fostering a profound sense of fulfillment within themselves and their relationships.
My therapeutic approach is characterized by a direct and solution-focused style, setting it apart from conventional and outdated talk therapy. In each session, I actively engage with clients, employing contemporary and progressive therapeutic techniques such as Internal Family Systems, LGBTQ+, CBT, DBT, Sex Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, all of which have demonstrated effectiveness in achieving positive outcomes.
I am dedicated to collaboratively creating a personalized plan that equips clients with coping skills and tools tailored to their unique needs. Together, we navigate the journey toward building deeper, more meaningful connections while effectively managing anxiety. I am committed to ensuring that each therapy session is impactful, providing a secure space to address life's challenges and facilitating the integration of various dimensions of personal identity. My goal is to offer insight that empowers individuals to lead a more authentic and fulfilled life.
