Paigean Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, PMH-C, RYT-200
In a world that often values toughness, being a highly sensitive and soft-hearted person can feel like a burden. We might say “yes” when we really mean “no”. And we may feel like we have to act differently to fit in, even if it means putting others before ourselves. Sometimes it can feel tough to find our inner courage, speak up for what we want, and create positive boundaries. This can be especially true when we’re striving for success in our careers, supporting our loved ones emotionally, or navigating big life changes like pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
Often, perfectionistic and high-striving individuals are both curious about therapy and ambivalent about seeking it. They may feel excited by the possibility of understanding themselves more deeply, while also unsettled by the idea of asking for help with one’s own mind. For people who are used to being competent, self-reliant, and in control, therapy can feel exposing at first.
Michael helps clients understand this hesitation not as resistance, but as part of the work itself: the wish to grow alongside the fear of needing anything at all. Many clients become more comfortable once they see that therapy is not simply about “talking about feelings,” but about learning to observe the mind with more honesty and precision.
Therapy becomes a disciplined space for reflection, which itself can be a powerful tool for developing emotional clarity, self-awareness, and greater freedom in how one responds to pressure, relationships, and oneself. Michael is also attentive to the ways thoughtful, high-striving people can use insight, analysis, mindfulness, or even spiritual ideas to move around painful emotional material rather than through it. When this pattern is noticed early, it can be addressed directly and compassionately, helping therapy remain grounded, emotionally honest, and clinically useful.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
What if the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors you struggle with aren't signs that something is wrong with you—but clues that something important deserves your curiosity? Many of us spend years asking, "What's wrong with me?" I believe therapy begins with a different question: "What makes sense about the way I've learned to survive?" Together, we'll explore the patterns that have shaped your life with compassion rather than judgment, helping you develop more flexible ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions while creating meaningful, lasting change. If you're looking for a therapist who combines warmth, honest conversation, and evidence-based care, I'd be honored to work with you. If you'd like to learn more about my approach, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute consultation.

Kate Winderman
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
From the outside, people might think you have it all together. But on the inside, it's a different story. Maybe you feel like your mind is a never ending loop of obsessive and anxious thoughts. Perhaps you feel completely stuck and a romantic relationship that is no longer serving you in its current state, but don't know how to fix it. Maybe you have noticed something isn't working well in your sex life, but feel too ashamed or embarrassed to know how to address it. Maybe you're a queer person, and need an affirming space to process your experience. Perhaps your history of trauma is holding you back from the life you want to live. Or maybe you just feel completely overwhelmed with all the responsibilities you carry, and just need a safe place to set down some of your mental load.
My hope is that if any of these resonate with you, you will reach out. Together, we can explore the issues that are currently bothering you by unpacking things at your own pace. Therapy with a non-judgmental, safe, and validating therapist can be a huge help in tackling life's difficulties. Your most authentic self is welcome here.
