Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
Trauma shows up in our lives in silent yet indelible ways. Whether it’s via dissociation, anger, self-isolation, or substances, we all have unique ways we learn to unconsciously protect ourselves, so that the past can never repeat; so that we can never be hurt in the same ways ever again. As such, the ghosts from our past continue to haunt us in invisible, unexpected ways. They are unfortunately too insidious to defeat by ourselves. Psychoanalytic therapy can help put these ghosts to rest once and for all. Let’s dream together of new possibilities for your future.
I am licensed in CA, NY, NJ, and MA. I love what I do, and I am committed to the health and well-being of everyone I have the privilege of supporting in psychotherapy. I welcome you to reach out for a free consultation.

David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
We are beings in motion, faced with the opportunity to learn and grow by becoming aware of the tension between what is conscious and unconscious on this journey called life. Psychotherapy and psychoeducation are tools that we can use together on this journey. I focus on helping you to grow, find yourself, and reduce suffering on your journey. People are not a disorder, as that is only looking at the negative, and we already do far too much of that. As Carl Jung said, "We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become".

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have worked as a psychotherapist for more than 25 years. During those years, I have worked with adolescents and young adults in a variety of settings – hospitals, day treatment facilities, universities, schools, and private practice. My first job out of social work school was at Bellevue Medical Center in New York City with adolescents. The adolescents with whom I worked at Bellevue gave me an education in humor, creativity, and strength. I obtained counseling positions at both UCLA and USC working with students on their academic challenges and the stress that impacts their success. It is fair to say that I have learned how to listen to adolescents, understand how to connect with them, and help them to gain confidence and the strategies to improve themselves and their situation. But I have also grasped the stress of parents have when raising adolescents and provided support, understanding, and tools to manage this important role. I’ve been training my whole life for this. I grew up with a mother who taught children with learning disabilities and a father who always gave back to the community recognizing those less fortunate. I learned early through volunteering at my mother’s school, volunteering at mental health helplines, supporting friends throughout high school, becoming a mom, and throughout my work in social work that providing another person with a patient and listening ear could provide support and understanding. It could be said that all that I have experienced, shared, and studied so far has been training me for the role I cherish that of psychotherapist.

Layla Ashley Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Relationships can bring our deepest joy, but they can also surface painful patterns. If you and your partner find yourselves caught in the same arguments, struggling to truly hear one another, or feeling emotionally distant, you’re not alone. Many couples reach a point where communication breaks down and the connection they once felt begins to feel strained or uncertain. Sometimes earlier life experiences, family patterns, or stressors quietly shape the way we relate, making it harder to stay close even when the love is still there.
With more than two decades of experience working with couples, I help partners slow down the cycle of conflict and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in relational and attachment-based work. I support couples in developing healthier communication, repairing emotional wounds, and building a stronger foundation of trust and intimacy. I’m also particularly attuned to the needs of highly sensitive people and those who want a thoughtful, depth-oriented approach to relationship growth.
Whether you’re preparing for a deeper commitment, working to repair trust after a rupture, or trying to rediscover connection after years together, therapy can offer a meaningful path forward. I also support individuals navigating dating, heartbreak, or relationship transitions. Together we’ll work toward clearer communication, emotional safety, and a relationship that feels more conscious, supportive, and alive.
If you’d like to explore whether this work might be a good fit, feel free to reach out to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Josie Munroe, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist
Being a Highly Sensitive Person in this chaotic, fast-paced world can feel overwhelming. In a desperate attempt to hold it all together, you may be quietly losing touch with yourself. Maybe food, exercise, or body image have become a source of struggle, or perfectionism and self-doubt are keeping you stuck. Perhaps there's an inner critic constantly telling you that you’re too much, or somehow not enough. You’re tired of feeling like you have to control, fix, or change yourself just to feel okay. Therapy can help you find a different way: one that makes room for your sensitivity instead of treating it like a problem.
