Nes Pinar Psychotherapy

My practice is especially supportive for people navigating transitions, burnout, identity shifts, or the quiet sense that something in life needs to change. I bring steadiness, creativity, and a deep respect for your lived experience, offering a space where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together. You get to arrive as you are, and we move at a pace that feels safe, honest, and sustainable. If you’re longing for clarity, connection, or a more spacious relationship with yourself, I’m here to walk with you as you find your way forward.

Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
My goal is to provide positive therapy for change, helping people move from merely surviving to thriving. I have worked in private practice since 1999 and during that time I have developed methods that have proven helpful for a number of challenges people seek treatment for. In addition, I have spent many hours getting extra training and skills to enhance my ability to help people who may be struggling.

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.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, MACP LPCC LMFT
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.

Samantha Schaefer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like life hasn’t turned out the way you thought it would? Maybe you’re in the middle of a big transition—becoming a parent, navigating a breakup, adjusting to a new role, or simply realizing that what used to work…doesn’t anymore. Change can stir up anxiety, self-doubt, and even grief for the versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown. You might find yourself questioning who you are or what comes next. These moments can feel isolating, but they’re also an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin again—with support along the way.

Amrit Schneider
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When I was a young adult in my 20s' and navigating therapy for the first time, I wished that there were more therapists with whom I could identify and relate. Now, as a therapist myself, I feel grateful to be in that position for others. I identify as a South Asian/Indian-American woman, an immigrant, 1.5 generation, and a person of color. I am interested in providing services to adults and couples who may be confronting their own identities, individually, in their relationships, in their families, and in the world at large.
I have been in the field of social work for 20 years and have focused on private practice for the past 8 years. My style is respectful, compassionate, and direct. I have extensive experience with goal-oriented approaches, as well as a deep understanding for how social and cultural contexts impact our lives. In addition, my work is influenced by psychoanalytic theory and attachment theory, and is informed by an awareness of trauma, including complex and inter-generational trauma.

Therapy is a collaborative process with me, and we will work together to identify your goals and track your progress. You can make it through the challenges you face, and you can feel better.

Erin Hayden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I’m Erin, a licensed therapist who specializes in working with young adults in their 20s and 30s. If you're feeling uncertain about your direction, experiencing loneliness, or are moving through a difficult season that no longer feels sustainable to carry alone, therapy can offer a supportive space to sort through your innermost questions.
Therapy offers a space to slow down, listen inward, and make choices that feel more aligned with the life you want. I see our work as collaborative and deeply respectful of your inner wisdom even if it feels distant right now.
My approach is warm and grounded in a Narrative Therapy framework. Together, we’ll explore the beliefs and stories that have shaped you, gently question the ones that no longer fit, and strengthen the perspectives that support your way forward. I see our work as collaborative and deeply respectful of your inner wisdom even if it feels distant right now.
I truly love being a therapist and am honored to do this work. If you think we would be a good fit fill out the contact form on this page and we will be in touch!

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Hello! Client's seeking therapy with me are met with dignity, warmth, attunement and deep care for their stories. I have a strong foundation in community mental health and ongoing work as a solo practitioner in private practice. I have also lived with a chronic illness for more than twenty years, a journey that has deeply shaped how I understand self-care, resilience, and what it means to show up for oneself—even in the presence of ongoing pain and discomfort. I understand how pain--both physical and emotional--can shape our inner worlds and influence how we move through our lives, sometimes leaving us feeling stuck in patterns that no longer reflect our values or our visions for the future. I love supporting people who are navigating similar terrain—whether that includes chronic illness or chronic pain, substance use and harm reduction, a complicated relationship to food and body, or experiences of anxiety, loneliness, depression, and a broader sense of dis-ease—offering a space for reflection, compassion, and meaningful change.
