John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
I can make this very easy for you - unless you’re looking for a specific technique the only way to tell if your therapist is a good fit is by being in a relationship with them. This can be virtual or in person, but we’ve known for a long time that the primary determining factor in successful therapy is the alliance. While a resume and creds may be a starting point, I think you’ll find it’s rarely a deciding factor.
-
For therapy to "work" you have to be vulnerable. To be vulnerable you need to feel safe. To feel safe you need to trust. This is the first layer of a deep, intimate, successful relationship that I model. Some people have never experienced this before - the idea that you can be heard, truly and deeply and not be judged, blamed or put in a box.
Walk with me - you're not alone in this.

Theo Kuczek
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT #123769, CPT
In order for therapy to be effective, you need to trust and like your therapist. My style leans toward being both compassionate and direct. I like to educate my clients on the process of healing and personal growth to empower them to make the changes they want in their lives. Whether you're looking to alleviate your symptoms of anxiety or depression, looking for a new perspective on things, or desiring more confidence, my style adapts to accommodate your unique situation. I think it’s important to not only help clients alleviate symptoms and fix problems, but also cultivate enthusiasm for the self-reflection process and inspire their personal growth.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
“I would rather be whole than good.” – Carl Jung
If you’re ready to move beyond performing, pleasing, or simply surviving and step into a more whole, honest version of yourself, I’d be honored to work with you. My approach blends psychodynamic depth, relational therapy, Gestalt awareness, and certified sex therapy to support meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in working with Black and POC adults and couples who want deeper connection, authenticity, and fulfillment. When you’re ready to choose wholeness, I invite you to reach out.

Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Are you having difficulty recognizing yourself lately? Do you lie awake even when you're exhausted, dread dates on the calendar no one else notices, or rehearse how to seem okay before you walk into a room? Are you trying to be everything for everyone while always putting yourself last? You don't have to keep faking it or struggling through it alone. These experiences that deserve real care. I specialize in reproductive mental health to support adults through infertility and the ache of trying to conceive, pregnancy loss, the upheaval of pregnancy and postpartum, PMDD, perimenopause, OCD and intrusive thoughts, and life with chronic pain or illness. The version of you that feels at home in your own life isn't gone. Let's go find it together.

Amenah Arman
Therapist, MS-CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, Nationally Certified Counselor
Many people come to therapy feeling misunderstood or “othered,” even in spaces meant to support them. You may have tried therapy before and found yourself explaining your identity, culture, ambition, or creative life just to be understood. If you’ve struggled to trust that someone could truly “get it,” you’re not alone. I provide trauma-informed online therapy for founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals navigating burnout, anxiety, and chronic pressure.

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, and discuss confidentiality, and other guidelines I want to make sure you are aware of as a client. Then we will dive into your needs and how I can support you with them.
