Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
Being a young person in a world run by adults can often feel really hard! I have worked with children and youth for over 10 years around issues related to self-esteem, social anxiety, bullying, child abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse, LGBTQ identities, alcohol and substance use, suicidal thoughts, and self-injuring behaviors. I use a full spectrum of creative mediums, work with therapy horses, and themes from pop culture, movies, music, TV, and comics in sessions to help younger folks feel comfortable and engaged in treatment.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst
Creating a safe and engaging space for children is my passion! I specialize in working with kids of all ages, using a combination of play therapy and psychoanalytic techniques tailored to their unique needs.
Play therapy allows children to express themselves freely through toys, games, and creative activities. This playful approach helps us uncover and address underlying emotional concerns in a way that feels comfortable and natural for them.
My training in psychoanalytic work with children allows me to gently explore the unconscious world that shapes their behaviors and emotions. Together, we can create a space where they feel heard and understood, fostering healthy development and emotional well-being.

Ryan Muldoon
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
I've been fortunate enough to work with teenagers and young adults for over 2 years now. It's been my pleasure to help them overcome challenges like depression, anxiety, substance abuse, academic stress, and more. It's so important for this age group to establish their identity, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have guided so many young individuals through this process. With the right support, I truly believe that their future is bright.
