Alan Hanft
Psychiatrist, M.D.
I’m a board certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, and also a board certified Adult Psychiatrist, seeing young children, teenagers, and adults. In general, my approach is to listen carefully, empathetically, to try to understand your situation as well, thoroughly as possible, and then work with you to develop a safe and effective treatment plan in a supportive environment. I believe a comprehensive plan is best, and not to rely solely on medications, although medications can certainly be very helpful in many situations. The goal is to help you with your problems, relieve distress, and thus improve your quality of life.

Christopher Schadt
Psychologist, PsyD
I really love what I do and I'm passionate about helping men become the fullest versions of themselves. It is my goal to help you connect to your sense of purpose, to yourself and to those you love most in your life. Therapy helps us to understand what's getting in the way and target those obstacles to help you start living, not just doing. If this resonates with you, let's get to work.

Dr. Maxwell Rappoport
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make that step feel comfortable, productive, and worthwhile. I’m a clinical psychologist who believes meaningful progress happens when therapy feels like a genuine working relationship built on trust, openness, curiosity, and collaboration. I bring empathy, creativity, and a down-to-earth style to our work, adapting therapy to who you are rather than expecting you to fit a particular approach.
Clients often tell me they feel at ease with me quickly, which can make it easier to talk honestly about what isn’t working and understand the patterns that may be keeping them feeling trapped. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety or overthinking, relationship difficulties, performance pressure, unhealthy ways of coping, or simply feel that something in your life needs to change, we’ll work together to better understand what’s getting in the way and find practical ways forward.
I especially enjoy working with people who are thoughtful and curious about themselves but want more than insight alone. If you’re looking for therapy that is engaged, collaborative, and focused on helping you translate greater self-understanding into meaningful change, I’d be glad to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Where within you does conflict persist?
Is it in the body, a swirling energy the surges without explanation, keeping you spinning in thought circles and struggling to sleep or relax (ANXIETY)?
Is it in the heart, the whistling emptiness of grief, or the stabbing pain of ruptured relationships, and lost connections (DEPRESSION)?
Is it in the head, thoughts that won’t stop reciting their well worn verses of what-ifs and should-haves (OCD/ADHD)?
Is it in the spirit, an anguish of being, the unknown outnumbering the known to a paralyzing degree, questions of WHY swirling intangible as mist, existential questions, the ground beneath our feet uneven and unsteady (BELIEF/MEANING)?
Is it in all of the above, and in your dreams as well, impacting ability to connect with others, to be still with yourself, to be intimate, to give and receive love, to accept what was, embrace what will be, and surrender to the now (TRAUMA)?

Drew Carr
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You had a good day. Work went well; you exercised; maybe even spent time with people you care about. Then you got home, noticed everything you had not done, opened your phone “for a minute,” and disappeared into comparison, research, or another plan to improve your life. By bedtime, the day no longer felt like enough. I work with thoughtful, driven folks, often ADHD or ADHD-ish, who look capable from the outside but feel restless, scattered, disconnected, or chronically behind. You may be successful and self-aware, yet exhausted from constantly trying to fix yourself.
My approach is practical and collaborative, grounded in contextual behavioral science. We look beneath procrastination, distraction, burnout, and indecision to understand how these patterns developed and what keeps them going. Therapy is not another performance test. It is a place to rebuild self-trust and act from what matters—not shame, fear, or proving.
I do not offer a final formula for what your life should be. I can help you slow the machinery down, recognize the rules that have been running you, and take the next honest step without abandoning yourself. If you have built a life that should feel meaningful but doesn't feel like home, contact me to see whether we're a good fit.
