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.

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 4 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.

Eric Pierson
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I firmly believe that having an unwavering belief in the capacity of humans to make their lives better is an important foundation of the work that I do. It is not always easy, but with the right support, and the right tools, people can make sense of their problems, and make the changes they need to build a life more in line with how they want to live.

Tatiana Ecoiffier Davis
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
I believe deeply in the power of therapy—so much so that I chose to leave a successful career in the biotechnology industry to pursue this path. I have seen again and again that change is possible, that life can feel lighter, and that a sense of ease within ourselves is attainable. My hope is for everyone to have access to this inner alignment; not only does it help us navigate the uncertainty of life but it also creates the foundation for authentic connection and community in a world that can feel divided.
Therapy can be as simple as a conversation or as challenging as allowing ourselves to just be. I am here for the full journey! I am often moved to tears when someone discovers a truth about themselves that has long been waiting to be found. There is nothing more powerful than witnessing a door open that had been closed for too long—watching the heaviness lift and the fresh air of possibility flow in.

I believe my role as a therapist is an honor. As I hold space for an adult client to share their journey, I do not take for granted the Client is the expert in their own life. Through my clinical experience and training we can together look at ways that treatment for the reasons that you may be looking for a therapist can be evaluated and healed.

Synapse Therapy and Healing | Alexis Collins, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Hello! You can call me Lexi. I'm so glad you're taking this step. As a therapist, my greatest passion is helping people move from feeling overwhelmed and disconnected to feeling centered, stable, and deeply safe in themselves.
I hold a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California (USC) and have received specialized training in trauma-informed modalities such as CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, and attachment theory.
In addition to individual therapy, I have experience working in intensive outpatient programs (IOP), crisis intervention, and community-based services. I’ve supported individuals on probation, survivors of domestic violence, and those who have experienced exploitation or trafficking, offering trauma-informed care with compassion and respect. My background also includes supporting clients through major life transitions, postpartum adjustments, abandonment wounds, relational trauma, and the challenges of coping with borderline traits—especially the impact of stigma, misunderstanding, and invalidation that can deepen emotional wounds.
My clinical experience has taught me that true healing comes from a warm, attuned relationship. I approach every session with deep empathy and patience, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Ultimately, I'm here to support you in healing emotional pain, building resilience, and reclaiming your sense of agency in your own life.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. As someone whose mind tends to move fast, dig deep, and resist “fitting in,” I’ve learned firsthand how isolation, frustration, and burnout can grow from being misunderstood.
In my practice, I offer a place of understanding, clarity, and transformation. I help clients map how their unique thinking, energy, and attention patterns affect relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we create strategies and habits that align with who you are—so that your strengths become the foundation for growth, not sources of struggle.
I provide this support virtually across 44 states—and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move toward what’s next.
