Dr. Madelyn Satz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life is challenging. All of us will deal with difficulty at some point in our lives, and many of us will face repeated struggles. We have a hand in some of these troubles and others we have no control over. But we always have control over how we interpret events, how we relate to them, how we make sense of them, and what we do as a result. There is validity in whatever way we view our situation, but as a starting place, not the only place, and we can move through and beyond into a clearing of many more and better possibilities.
I have many tools and techniques and strategies to shift perspective from deeply painful to healing and expansion. Despite how vulnerable we are in life, there is also a great deal of thriving that is available to us - when we know how to harness it.

I am committed to helping individuals cultivate mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. My work is grounded in a rich diverse academic foundation, including a bachelor's degree in nursing, a master's degree in counseling, and a doctorate in clinical psychology. This blend of training in addition to a wealth of continuing education, training, and practice allows me to approach care with clinical depth, compassion, and insight. My integrative style draws from multiple evidence-based modalities and incorporates practices such as mindfulness practices, and somatic awareness. By combining these tools with a warm, individualized approach, I offer comprehensive care that supports healing, growth, and a deeper connection to self.

Asher Lipner
Psychologist, Ph.D., SRT
I believe good therapy is more than symptom management. It’s about helping people understand themselves more honestly, develop greater emotional awareness, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentic.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — anxiety, shame, compulsive behaviors, emotional disconnection, relationship struggles, or cycles of secrecy and self-criticism. Often, these struggles are not simply about “bad habits” or lack of willpower, but about deeper emotional and relational dynamics that have never been fully understood or addressed.
My style is warm, direct, thoughtful, and engaged. I aim to create a space where people can speak openly about subjects that are difficult to discuss elsewhere, without feeling judged, dismissed, or reduced to a diagnosis. I believe meaningful therapy requires both compassion and honesty: the ability to understand pain without losing sight of accountability, growth, and change.
I have particular experience helping individuals and couples struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, betrayal trauma, intimacy difficulties, anxiety, shame, and trauma-related issues. I also work extensively with clients from religious and culturally sensitive communities, where these struggles often carry additional layers of secrecy, fear, and isolation.
Therapy can help people move from surviving on autopilot toward living with greater clarity, presence, integrity, and connection — both to themselves and to the people they care about most.

Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
I am a licensed psychologist specializing in individual therapy, couples therapy, and sex therapy. I work best with thoughtful, self-aware individuals and couples who might understand themselves and their patterns, but still find themselves stuck in ways they can’t seem to change. In individual therapy, I help you move beyond insight alone to understand the deeper emotional patterns that keep you repeating what you already know you want to change, while developing practical ways to respond differently. In couples therapy, I help partners move beyond repeatedly having the same arguments or understanding each other’s perspectives without actually feeling more connected, so they can create new ways of relating, communicating, and experiencing intimacy. My approach combines practical tools with deeper experiential work to create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you’re struggling in your relationship, feeling disconnected from yourself or your sexuality, navigating the effects of trauma, or simply tired of knowing what you “should” do without being able to do it, I offer a warm, honest, and deeply engaged space to help you get unstuck.

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.
