Jamie Fortin
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
I believe that meaningful change happens in the context of a genuine, attuned relationship. Therapy is not about fixing what is “wrong,” but about deepening understanding, expanding awareness, and creating space for something new to emerge.
My approach is grounded in depth psychology, relational therapy, and experiential work. Together, we explore not only the challenges that bring you in, but also the underlying patterns, emotions, and unconscious dynamics that shape your life. I work collaboratively, with curiosity and respect, to help you develop a stronger connection to yourself and to others.
I also integrate Animal-Assisted Therapy when appropriate, partnering with my therapy dog, Sophie. Her presence can help create a calming, supportive environment and often allows for connection and insight in ways that feel more natural and less pressured.
I have a particular interest in working with individuals navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, and the desire for deeper self-understanding. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply sensing that something in your life wants to shift, therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and intention.
Beginning therapy can feel like a big step. My role is to meet you where you are, offering a steady, compassionate presence as we make sense of your experience together.

G. Roman Gupta, LCSW
Therapist, LCSW
My deepest wish is for you to know that you have everything you need in order to be happy RIGHT NOW. You are enough. And if you have a partner, you deserve happiness as a couple. Has something in your life led you to believe this isn’t true? My passion is to support you in healing the wounds of the past, fostering a loving relationship with yourself and with others, and becoming comfortable in your own skin. If you are a parent of a child who is in need of support I want to be able to support your entire family in working together to find the best path for all of your happiness and success.

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.

Lori Karny LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and MSG, Masters in Gerontology
I have been in practice as a clinican for over 20 years and appreciate the opportunity and interaction developed within the therapeutic relationship. I value the opportunity to help people during a time of need, interpersonal challenges. During my career I have counseled children, youth, survivors of sexual/physical abuse. I was a Clinical Supervisor or Program Director at several non-profit organizations. I also worked at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital in the Outpatient Adult Psychiatry Program where I provided psychotherapy for adults of all ages and diverse backgrounds.
