Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Whether you're adjusting to life with a new baby, wondering if your young child is on track developmentally, worried about your child's anxiety, navigating a difficult transition, or feeling stuck in patterns with your teen, you don't have to figure it out alone.
I believe that behavior always has meaning. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I work to understand the experiences, relationships, and developmental needs that may be shaping them. Together, we'll build on your family's strengths while helping your child or teen develop the confidence and skills they need to thrive.
I specialize in working with infants and young children, children, and parents. My approach is grounded in attachment, developmental science, and play therapy, creating a space where children feel safe enough to express themselves and parents feel supported rather than judged. I also have specialized training in infant mental health and enjoy working with families during pregnancy, infancy, and the early years to strengthen the parent-child relationship, support healthy development, and address concerns before they become bigger challenges.
My goal is for every family to leave therapy with a deeper understanding of themselves and one another, along with practical tools and renewed hope for the future.

Amy Guido
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being in relationship with others can uncover areas of strength as well as struggle. If you grew up in a family that didn't do much self reflection, perspective taking, emotion coaching or repair making, you may feel at a bit of a loss with how to navigate relationship struggles in helpful ways.
Perhaps you've vented to friends and family to reduce the tension of the latest disagreement. For most of us though, that doesn't get us the perspective and skills necessary to get unstuck or moving forward more productively. I help people through targeted feedback and support to gain greater relational satisfaction and results. Even if your partner or child won't attend, sometimes the power of one can make a huge difference.
Perhaps today is a good day to take a risk and reach out to see if the change you seek is more attainable than you think. I bring a wholistic, curious, light-hearted, real and down to earth approach that takes into account your unique needs and goals.
If you're ready to try something new and would like support please reach out for help. While I don't accept insurance, I do have current openings. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
You understand why you struggle in relationships, yet the same patterns keep showing up. You may overthink, seek reassurance, struggle with trust, avoid vulnerability, shut down during conflict, or feel caught between wanting closeness and fearing it. Often, these patterns are rooted in trauma, attachment wounds, and earlier relationship experiences that continue to shape how you connect with others. I help individuals and couples heal these underlying patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and build healthier, more secure relationships through a holistic approach that integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, attachment work, and mindfulness.

Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I am a psychologist that is passionate about all of us living the fully awake and vibrant lives we are meant to. Sometimes this involves healing from the past, other times it means working towards visioning and creating the future, oftentimes both. It generally involves some insight but also a good dose of experiential tools and learning about your central nervous system and how to both understand and work with it, what we call both top down and bottom up tools. Ready for real change and willing to do the work? (yep it is work but well worth it) Let's go.

Matthew Brace
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Wouldn’t it be helpful if the communication in your relationship created closeness rather than distance? You care deeply about your partner but are feeling stuck on how to change. We are often trying to figure out how to improve our relationships as we go, and certainly get frustrated when attempts fall short. This frustration can lead to wondering how your relationship got to a point where feeling disconnected is common. There are reasons for these issues, and we will uncover them and implement solutions throughout our sessions together.

Lynda Griffin Bull
Counselor/Therapist, MC, LPC
Unresolved trauma can affect many areas of life, often showing up as anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, relationship challenges, or chronic illness. I specialize in trauma counseling and work with individuals who want to better understand these patterns and move toward meaningful healing. Together we focus on building resilience, insight, and practical tools for lasting change.
My work as a therapist is devoted to helping people understand and heal from the lasting effects of trauma. These experiences may appear in ways that feel confusing or overwhelming, including difficulty concentrating, chronic stress, feeling stuck, impulsive behaviors, relational struggles, addictions, and ongoing physical symptoms such as chronic pain or illness. In therapy, we take time to explore how past experiences continue to influence your thoughts, emotions, and relationships today. I also have a special interest in supporting individuals and families navigating serious health challenges, including cancer. My goal is to provide a compassionate and supportive environment where healing can unfold and where you can develop greater clarity, resilience, and hope for the future.

Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
I'm not good enough, I can't stand this, I can't trust anyone, I should have known better! Do you ever notice yourself living with similar shame? Truth is, most of us do and as we get older, it is hard to understand that we are still operating in our relationships, jobs and daily lives with these messages. Our goal in therapy is to provide an efficient treatment plan to help clear out some of these false and dysfunctional messages and help you start seeing you're worth.
We work with people from different walks of life and we're committed to providing a compassionate and creative approach to therapy. We enjoy working with children and adults individually as well as within group, family and couple settings. My specialities lie in treating anxiety (performance anxiety, OCD, PTSD) as well as depression, life transitions, chronic pain/illness, grief/loss, and more. We have extensive training in shame and trauma and understand how these impact people's ability to function in their day-to-day lives.
We offer a strength based, client-centered approach to therapy. Every person's story is special and deserves an individualized approach. In therapy our therapists utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Family Systems work.
It takes great courage to find hope. We believe in holding space for clients, hearing your stories and working together to help you live your best life. You are not alone in your journey. You will be met with enthusiasm, support, kindness and an open mind in every session.
