Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
Therapy changed my life. In fact, it led me to become a therapist. Professionally, I had reached a level of success that kept me financially comfortable, but I was depressed and anxious because I lacked purpose. I was lost in addictions and reckless behaviors which further galvanized my sadness and kept me feeling lost in how to make meaningful change. My commitment to therapy helped me become the man I am today.
Therapy is a safe place for you to be open with your thoughts and feelings, free of judgment. Shame is a common issue we all face. Sharing your shame helps to dispel it and leads you to substantial emotional growth. I find the most valuable impact therapy can have on you is a deeper understanding of yourself and who you want to show up as in the world. Through consistent, gentle, and thoughtful investigation of oneself, there can be considerable growth. The deeper we are able to go together, the more attuned you will become with yourself and others.
I am a highly engaged therapist who will challenge you in session to become more attuned to yourself. I deeply believe in empowerment and helping clients cultivate a solid sense of self and self-worth. My practice encompasses a wide range of people. My main areas of focus include the queer community, working professionals, performers, artists, and couples of all types. I have a particular passion for working with small business owners, entrepreneurs, and career-focused individuals who are looking to elevate their skills and evolve as strong compassionate leaders.
For individuals looking for career counseling, I offer a blend of psychotherapy and coaching that helps you refine your business and leadership skills.

Peggy Barrett
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, OTR/L
The best gifts you can give, are deeper relationships with yourself and others. When depression, anxiety, trauma or grief interfere with your life, your relationships may suffer internally and externally. If your life seems chaotic or lacks meaning it can be daunting to deal with these on your own. Together we can deal with these challenges. The courage to ask for help and enter into a therapeutic relationship is a powerful first step. It empowers you to discover your essence and begin to find meaning and purpose in your life. It takes courage to ask for help. These are challenging times with this pandemic. I want to create a safe haven for you to express your desires and needs.
I have worked over 30 years in health care with adults who are physically and mentally challenged. I have facilitated groups using SoulCollage® and journaling to help people connect with deeper parts of themselves. My professional and life experiences have allowed me to understand and nurture those gifts that lie deep within each of us. It is these gifts which define your essence and provide meaning to your life.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst
My name is Sam, and I'm a psychoanalytic therapist who is passionate about helping adults and teens navigate life's complexities. Whether you're an adult seeking deeper understanding of yourself or a young person embarking on your journey, I offer a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth.
My approach is rooted in psychoanalysis and depth psychology, which delves into the unconscious mind. We'll work together to uncover patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may be shaping your current challenges. This can include chronic behaviors, relationship difficulties, or simply a feeling of being stuck.
The therapeutic process can be quirky and surprising, just like life itself! I believe in fostering a collaborative environment where humor and curiosity can be powerful tools for self-discovery. But at its core, my practice is built on empathy and a genuine desire to see you thrive.
