Lauren Blalock
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I believe therapy, at it’s core, is about relationship. Our relationship. We will work together to tailor make the most beneficial experience, specific to you. Working from an integrative approach, combining the best of several models of therapy, I create a individualized experience where you can be safe, seen, and free of judgmental as you move toward healing.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I see myself as an intuitive, creative, informed, and highly trained Clinical Psychologist that provides a safe, nonjudgmental, and transformative environment. Therapy with me fosters a deep sense of engagement and connection, a sense of feeling heard and understood, and clarity where there was previously ambiguity. I have a passion for the importance of relationships, authentic living, self-acceptance, and the complex experiences of those who hold multiple identities. I specialize in hard to talk about topics that are often stigmatized or concealed. I treat clients who are dealing with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, co-dependency, interpersonal problems (i.e., couples therapy, sex therapy), stigma/discrimination, childhood/adult sexual trauma, shame and guilt (among others). I specialize in non-traditional/diverse relationships and sexuality, complex PTSD, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, and the unique stressors of being a creative.
I work well with curious individuals who are motivated to grow, share, be vulnerable, and play in therapy and in their lives. Creativity and curiosity in psychotherapy allows both of us to explore, question, imagine, and reflect on thoughts and experiences with depth and authenticity. Together we explore more flexible ways of thinking and relating to others.
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.

Michael Pezzullo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anyone can give advice. In my experience, clients come to therapy looking for something they cannot get anywhere else. Usually they are struggling with anxiety, depression, or some other issue, that they have not been able to solve on their own.

I believe a major part of psychological health is having the tools to live life with greater freedom and possibility. It is my hope you will feel safe and secure in our therapeutic relationship so we may explore issues hindering you from living a fully engaged life. Benefits from our work together can include improved relationships, freedom from the past including childhood, increased insight, ability to make more informed choices, and symptom (i.e., anxiety and depression) reduction.

Dr. Joshua A. Goldstein
Psychologist, Psy.D.
So, you're dealing with life's transitions, but it manifests as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or lowered self-esteem. These may be diagnoses, but you're so much more than that. You are who you are because of your experiences, which means you already have the tools and ability to move yourself forward. You just don’t know it yet.
Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process and I want to build that unique relationship with you. I work from an insight-oriented perspective and focus on the connections between your childhood experiences and current circumstances. Those early experiences laid the groundwork and can provide blueprints to addressing the issues you're currently facing.
The difficulty can be uncovering those blueprints and it’s my job to help you discover them.
