Psychodynamic
Marina Sud
Psychologist, PsyD, Certified in Brainspotting, Certification in Psychoanalysis
I take an integrative, holistic approach that blends evidence-based psychological methods with mindfulness and body-based practices. I help clients process trauma, difficult emotions, and life stressors by working with both the mind and body. My work may include Brainspotting for trauma processing, cognitive-behavioral strategies for shifting unhelpful thinking patterns, and developing greater acceptance of difficult thoughts and emotions. I view therapy as a collaborative process, combining my clinical training with your knowledge of your own experiences.

Devon Davasher
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CCM, CFSW, Master ART Practitioner
I became a therapist because I needed one. I lost my mom when I was 18, and in the years that followed I struggled with anxiety and depression and reached for whatever would take the edge off. When I finally sat down with a therapist, it changed my life. Not because it fixed everything right away, but because for the first time I had a space to say the things I had never said out loud. As a gay man, I know what it is like to carry parts of yourself quietly for longer than you should have had to. That lived experience shapes how I show up in the room. Affirming care is not something I do. It is something I live.

Psychodynamic
Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Welcome! For me, this work is deeply relational in nature, as I find a steady, trusting relationship to be central for deeper exploration. Together, we can attend to both immediate concerns and deeper themes such as emotional experiences, attachment styles, and family-of-origin dynamics. I offer a warm, steady presence alongside attuned and practical feedback, supporting meaningful insight that can lead to lasting change. Online therapy offers us a wonderful opportunity to engage in this work from the comfort of your own space, while also offering flexibility when needed. Moves, new jobs, or growing families - our work can remain an anchor through the change. If you'd like to discuss working together, please reach out for a free consultation.

Whether you are looking to better understand yourself, break unhelpful patterns, or reconnect with your inner sense of strength, our work together is grounded in real conversations, deep insight, and practical tools for lasting change. This is done from the comfort of your own space.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I'm not your ordinary therapist. I have 26 + years of experience as a therapist, plus I have the life experience of a wife of 46 years, mother of two, and grandmother of four. I am the therapist that people come in and say, "Wow, you helped me more in one session than I got out of years with several other therapists." I am fun, direct, empathetic, but direct so that you can have the results you are looking for in a short amount of time. I love what I do, so it's not work to me. I'm very interactive in sessions so there won't be many times where I just sit there and don't provide feedback. I'm the type of therapist that will call you out on your stuff so I can help you meet your goals and have better relationships with others. I love talking with potential clients to see if I'm a good fit. After a phone call with me you will be able to get a sense if I'm a good fit for you. Please give me a call and let's chat!
