Courtland McPherson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
You can’t pinpoint when it happened, but all of a sudden you don’t feel the same. You’re waking up feeling discontent and struggling to get out of bed. Sometimes, you find yourself wondering what you’re doing with yourself… You don’t feel fulfilled at all. You think you should feel great – You have the job, the friends, likes and follows from your connections… yet you still feel alone. Your inner voice is telling you something is missing.
You know something is off… but you don’t want to stay this way. You’re ready to make changes in your life. You want to feel refreshed, energized, healthy, and ready to tackle the day. You want more out of friendships, coupledom, parenthood, work, and life. You want to be back on track – like you again, but an expanded version. You want the fire back!
I’m here to help you with online consultation scheduling and services designed with you in mind. My clients appreciate my straightforward, no-jargon, real-world approach. If you are ready to feel better and get back on track, then let’s get to work. Schedule an appointment today, right now—no more waiting.

Dr. Fernando Castrillon
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My way of helping people involves listening for and helping them articulate intimate aspects of themselves that they have not spoken and that they do not even know exist. It is both a process of discovery and invention, with an eye and ear towards real and lasting structural change.

Briana Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I’m passionate about supporting adult professionals and/or creatives experiencing fears, sadness, low self-esteem, BIPOC racial trauma and racial identity issues, and other unresolved traumas and emotional pain. I also work with women who are trying to manage the emotional and physical challenges of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Many clients I've worked with feel disconnected from their identity and passions, weighed down by past and present pain - and in my sessions, I help those clients grieve, heal, rebuild confidence, and move forward with clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of self in order to help them live meaningfully.
If any of this this resonates with what you want for your life, I'd love to also help support YOU!

Dr. Catherine Ferreira-Babor, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Psy.D.
When you are feeling hopeless, confused, and dejected about your life, relationships, mood etc, I can help you understand what is happening, why it is happening, and what to do about it. You might need help problem solving. You might need help developing some self-compassion. You might need help deepening your understanding of yourself. Whether its a short term approach or a longer term, psychoanalytically-oriented course of treatment, I am especially good at creating an environment that fosters healing.
