Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Hello! Client's seeking therapy with me are met with dignity, warmth, attunement and deep care for their stories. I have a strong foundation in community mental health and ongoing work as a solo practitioner in private practice. I have also lived with a chronic illness for more than twenty years, a journey that has deeply shaped how I understand self-care, resilience, and what it means to show up for oneself—even in the presence of ongoing pain and discomfort. I understand how pain--both physical and emotional--can shape our inner worlds and influence how we move through our lives, sometimes leaving us feeling stuck in patterns that no longer reflect our values or our visions for the future. I love supporting people who are navigating similar terrain—whether that includes chronic illness or chronic pain, substance use and harm reduction, a complicated relationship to food and body, or experiences of anxiety, loneliness, depression, and a broader sense of dis-ease—offering a space for reflection, compassion, and meaningful change.

Glenn Sample
Psychologist, Psy.D., MSCP
Success of therapeutic change begins with the relationship between you and your therapist. I believe effective change grows from a foundation of trust, respect, and the understanding of a desire for self-improvement. I work collaboratively to identify areas of concern while providing support throughout the counseling process. You have unique experiences that shape who you are, and how you respond to situations. I believe progress can be made by gaining an understanding of how these experiences influence responses in the present.
Using CBT and DBT modalities, I assist with recognizing what works well, and what areas have opportunity for improvement. Positive change can begin by recognizing behaviors that are no longer serving you well, what maintains those behaviors, and appropriately challenging them when ready.
This knowledge can help one move forward with new skills and improved effectiveness. I provide a comfortable, non-judgmental, and caring environment, and currently working with adults, couples, and LGBTQ populations.

Debbie Cherry
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
After 25 years as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CA, TX & FL. I know conflict is not the problem. Conflict is natural in close relationships. What matters most is HOW couples talk to each other when emotions run high. That’s why I created the research-based Happily Partnered Playbook — to help couples end negative cycles and grow closer.

Sarah Jane Thomas
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Let's be honest. You have probably heard plenty of advice on how to fix yourself, change your body, or stop feeling so anxious all the time. You might have even tried it all and still feel stuck. I don't believe in adding more rules to your life or pushing you toward some ideal version of who you "should" be. My goal is simply to help you slow down and listen to what you already know deep inside. We will work together to untangle the shame you have been carrying from the actual truth about who you are. This is not about achieving perfection. It is about finding relief from the exhausting pressure to constantly change yourself. You deserve to feel peaceful with your body instead of fighting against it every day. If that sounds like the kind of support you need right now, let's chat to see if we are a good fit.

Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT#150479
I believe therapy is a tool to self-actualization. In a society where doing is valued over being, I help people discover who they really are without the labels, titles, and neatly wrapped boxes we like to categorize ourselves in. My work is centered around helping people grow into the fullest version of themselves—one that feels more authentic, more alive, more aware, and more at peace. Whether you're dealing with stress, self-esteem issues, or navigating major life transitions, I am committed to guiding you towards lasting healing and self-discovery.

Mary Ramatici
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW
What makes my practice different is simple: you are never just a diagnosis or a checklist to me. I take the time to truly get to know you, your story, and what healing looks like for you specifically, because no two people's journeys are the same. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're carrying more than you can hold on your own, this is your sign to reach out. You don't have to have it all figured out before you contact me. All you need is a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right where you are.

Nicole Bermensolo
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
The therapeutic process has the ability to transform. I am living proof of this. At my lowest point, I was anxious, depressed, suicidal, and trapped in an addiction to alcohol and Adderall. With the help of a skilled therapist, I was able to come out of this darkness - inspiring me to leave a successful business in order to help others who are suffering. I believe that everyone deserves a fighting chance to overcome trauma and abuse and live a rich, full, and satisfying life. I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I believe we are all deserving of unconditional love. I hold the hope for my clients when they are drowning in hopelessness. I approach my life and my work through a feminist, anti-oppression, anti-racist, and body-positive perspective. I am passionate about animal rescue and shelter pets. If any of this resonates with you, please shoot me a message and let's find a time to connect.

Abigail (Abi) Zarate Ramsay
Pre-Licensed Professional, Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee, Professional Clinical Counselor Trainee
I became a therapist because I believe that healing happens in relationships where we feel truly seen, heard, and honored in our full complexity. As a first generation Filipino American woman, I know what it is like to navigate the tensions between culture, family expectations, and your own emerging sense of self. I am particularly drawn to working with people who carry a lot quietly: caregivers, chronic illness warriors, neurodivergent folks, and those living with the impact of generational and systemic trauma. I see therapy as a place where you can set down some of that weight, even briefly, and explore who you are beyond survival mode. My approach is person-centered, which means I center your voice, your pace, and your values, and I bring in tools and frameworks that support your goals rather than asking you to fit into a rigid model. My hope is that therapy with me feels like a steady, grounded relationship where you can be honest about the hardest parts, celebrate the small shifts, and practice new ways of relating to yourself and others. I feel honored every time someone allows me into their story, and I hold that trust with great care.
