Dennis Sapire
Psychologist, JD PhD
My extensive training and years of experience are a strength. My PhD is in Clinical Health Psychology which means I am hospital trained and have specialized training in medical, sexual, and sport psychology as well as general Clinical Psychology. Further study led to an additional certification in Clinical Sexology. Regular attendance at national conventions helps me keep abreast of innovative treatments. My Biofeedback training informs my treatment of stress and anxiety. My background in law and business have been found helpful by many clients coping with crises of retirement and attempting to overcome financial anxiety.

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.

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.
