Dennis Sapire
Psychologist, JD PhD
My extensive training and years of experience are a strength. My PhD is in Clinical Health Psychology which means I am hospital trained and have specialized training in medical, sexual, and sport psychology as well as general Clinical Psychology. Further study led to an additional certification in Clinical Sexology. Regular attendance at national conventions helps me keep abreast of innovative treatments. My Biofeedback training informs my treatment of stress and anxiety. My background in law and business have been found helpful by many clients coping with crises of retirement and attempting to overcome financial anxiety.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You may have spent much of your life being the responsible one—balancing family expectations, caring for others, and striving to succeed while your own emotional needs went unseen. From the outside, your life may look accomplished, but inside you might feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly alone. You learned early on to prioritize everyone else’s well-being, often leaving little room to understand or care for yourself.

Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You might be here because you’ve been called “too sensitive,” feel easily overwhelmed, or aren’t sure where you fit—especially as someone who is queer and/or asexual. You’re seeking connection with people who “get it” and a therapist who doesn’t need you to explain your culture, sensitivity, or identity just to be understood.
As a Highly Sensitive therapist, I enjoy working with asexual, gray‑ace, demisexual, questioning folks, and sensitive introverts. My style is warm, collaborative, and validating. In our work, we’ll create a gentler space, where your boundaries are honored, your quirks are welcomed, and you’re treated as enough exactly as you are.

I’m deeply passionate about creating a space where people feel truly seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life’s challenges. What sets my work apart is my ability to meet you with both empathy and practical guidance - helping you not only process your experiences, but also build real tools for change. My background across clinical, behavioral, and experiential settings has shaped a flexible, intuitive approach that honors your unique story and pace. If you’re looking for a therapist who will walk alongside you with warmth, honesty, and intention, I’d be honored to support you in taking that next step.
