Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
In all honesty, finding a therapist you actually click with can be tough. That’s why I keep things warm, fun (yes we laugh), and completely judgment free. As your therapist, my goal is for you to have a place to just be yourself while we work through whatever is causing you stress or discomfort. I bring a mix of genuine empathy and practical, real-world tools to the table, meaning we won’t just talk about what’s going on, we’ll actively collaborate to get you unstuck.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety/depression, relationship stress (any type of relationship), a major life shift, burnout, perfectionism, confidence issues, trauma, infertility/postpartum struggles, or just want to understand yourself a bit better, I’m here to help you navigate it all.

Dr. Maxwell Rappoport
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make that step feel safe, supportive, and worthwhile. I’m a clinical psychologist who believes the best progress happens when therapy feels like a productive relationship—built on trust, openness, and collaboration. I bring creativity, empathy, and a down-to-earth style to our work, tailoring each session to fit who you are and what you need most.
Clients often tell me they feel at ease with me quickly, which makes it easier to explore challenges honestly and discover new ways forward. Whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, want to perform better, or are just feeling stuck, I’ll work with you to create a personalized plan that helps you gain clarity, confidence, and momentum in your life.
If you’re looking for a therapist who listens deeply, adapts flexibly, and partners with you every step of the way, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit.
