Psychoanalytic
Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
I’m a psychologist who works with adults, teens, and couples, and I aim to offer therapy that feels grounded, thoughtful, and genuinely human. My style is relational and psychodynamic, which means we pay attention not only to symptoms, but also to the deeper patterns underneath them—how you’ve learned to cope, how relationships have shaped you, and what might be keeping you stuck.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why the same struggles keep repeating. Together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what you’re going through, with curiosity and compassion. I try to create a space that feels safe and steady, but also honest and growth-oriented—where you can be fully yourself and gradually build more freedom in how you live and relate.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, or challenges at home or school, therapy can help you feel more clear, confident, and connected. I’d be honored to work with you.

Courtland McPherson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
You’re feeling stuck, disconnected, burned out, or just not like yourself. Maybe your relationships feel strained. Maybe work consumes everything. Maybe you’re wondering, is this really it?
Many of the folks I work with aren’t in crisis. They’re functioning. But they’re carrying stress, loneliness, relationship challenges, self-doubt, or a growing sense that they’ve lost touch with themselves somewhere along the way.
I help folks like you navigate that stress, depression, those relationship challenges, life transitions, parenthood, and the quiet loneliness that often comes with modern life. My approach is straightforward, practical, and jargon-free.
Together, we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck, strengthen your relationships, and help you build a life that feels more meaningful, connected, and aligned with who you want to be.
Stop scrolling, stop second-guessing, and take the next step. Schedule your free 20-minute consultation today. The life you’re looking for won’t change until you do!
