Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You might be here because you’ve been called “too sensitive,” feel easily overwhelmed, or aren’t sure where you fit—especially as someone who is queer and/or asexual. You’re seeking connection with people who “get it” and a therapist who doesn’t need you to explain your culture, sensitivity, or identity just to be understood.
As a Highly Sensitive therapist, I enjoy working with asexual, gray‑ace, demisexual, questioning folks, and sensitive introverts. My style is warm, collaborative, and validating. In our work, we’ll create a gentler space, where your boundaries are honored, your quirks are welcomed, and you’re treated as enough exactly as you are.

Courtland McPherson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
You’re feeling stuck, disconnected, burned out, or just not like yourself. Maybe your relationships feel strained. Maybe work consumes everything. Maybe you’re wondering, is this really it?
Many of the folks I work with aren’t in crisis. They’re functioning. But they’re carrying stress, loneliness, relationship challenges, self-doubt, or a growing sense that they’ve lost touch with themselves somewhere along the way.
I help folks like you navigate that stress, depression, those relationship challenges, life transitions, parenthood, and the quiet loneliness that often comes with modern life. My approach is straightforward, practical, and jargon-free.
Together, we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck, strengthen your relationships, and help you build a life that feels more meaningful, connected, and aligned with who you want to be.
Stop scrolling, stop second-guessing, and take the next step. Schedule your free 20-minute consultation today. The life you’re looking for won’t change until you do!

Alana Morazzini
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many people were never given the space to understand what they truly feel — taught early on to push past vulnerability and keep moving, often losing touch with their deeper needs, wants, and inner conflicts along the way. I work with individuals and couples alike, with a particular focus on those navigating conflict and communication struggles in their relationships, as well as those facing major life transitions — including postpartum mood challenges and midlife adjustments. Drawing on attachment-centered and trauma-informed approaches, we work on the foundations beneath your current struggles — ultimately opening up new ways of reacting, understanding, and relating to yourself and your past. Therapy offers choices, and while familiar patterns may feel safe, the goal is to give you the freedom to choose differently.
