Gabriel Arroyo
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Relationships take a lot of work and sometimes can use a little bit of help or third party perspective. Within my experience and professional practice I have helped many couples overcome various topics and issues including "burn out" with falling out of love or passion, communication issues, infidelity, trust issues, and intimacy issues. If you feel your relationship can use a bit of a tune up and support, please continue reading and contact me.
I also specialize in working with individuals with chronic illness support. With my own experience of receiving a lifelong diagnosis at an early age, I have learned effective copping and adjustment strategies to help support with chronic conditions.

Elizabeth Essner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in providing "successful" therapy. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I value meeting clients where they are at. Whether it is working around issues of substance use, or dealing with anxiety or depression, I seek to help clients achieve their goals and live a better life.

Julie Levin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I love helping people let go of the codependent/people-pleasing strategies that often arise in response to a difficult family member. Seeing my clients find more confidence and inner strength is why I do this work.

Jennifer Pudlo Therapy & Wellness Consulting
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Seeking therapy is a courageous first step, and I know how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable trusting. My hope is that from our very first conversation, you'll experience a space where you can exhale, feel genuinely heard, and know that you don't have to carry life's challenges alone.
I believe meaningful change happens within the safety of a trusting therapeutic relationship. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, combining evidence-based practices with deep respect for your unique story, strengths, and values. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we'll work together to understand the patterns that have shaped your experiences and discover new ways of responding that promote lasting healing and growth.
I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, betrayal and infidelity, trauma, infertility, postpartum challenges, perimenopause, grief, body image concerns, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for something to change, therapy can provide a place to gain clarity, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with yourself and the people who matter most.
Clients often tell me they appreciate having a therapist who is both compassionate and practical—someone who offers thoughtful guidance while creating space for reflection, insight, and meaningful change. My goal is not to tell you how to live your life, but to walk alongside you as you discover your own path toward greater peace, confidence, and connection.
If you're considering therapy, I invite you to reach out. Finding the right therapist matters, and I would be honored to learn more about your story, answer your questions, and help you determine whether we're a good fit. Even if you're unsure where to begin, you don't have to have it all figured out before taking that first step.

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.
