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.

Elnaz Mayeh (WellBeCounseling)
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, EMDR Trained
What makes my practice different is the genuine, human connection I bring into the therapy space, along with a direct and honest approach. I’m not here to “fix” you or simply tell you what you want to hear. I’m here to meet you where you are—with warmth, compassion, and without judgment, while also being willing to challenge you when it can help you grow.
My approach is deeply humanistic, which means I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a set of problems. I create a space where you can be yourself, speak openly, and feel truly seen and understood.
I keep therapy down-to-earth, authentic, and collaborative, while helping you build greater self-awareness and reconnect with your own strength, clarity, and resilience. I’ll listen deeply, ask the hard questions, and offer honest perspective when it’s needed. Because sometimes growth means having someone in your corner who can both support you and gently push you forward.

You understand yourself pretty well. You can name what's wrong. And yet here you are, still anxious, still exhausted, still wondering why nothing quite shifts. My sessions are warm and honest, built on trust before anything else. We work at your pace, looking at what's keeping you where you are and what a different life might actually feel like. Reach out for a free 15-minute call to see if we're a good fit.

Jennifer Pudlo Therapy & Wellness Consulting
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Seeking therapy is a courageous first step, and I know how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable trusting. My hope is that from our very first conversation, you'll experience a space where you can exhale, feel genuinely heard, and know that you don't have to carry life's challenges alone.
I believe meaningful change happens within the safety of a trusting therapeutic relationship. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, combining evidence-based practices with deep respect for your unique story, strengths, and values. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we'll work together to understand the patterns that have shaped your experiences and discover new ways of responding that promote lasting healing and growth.
I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, betrayal and infidelity, trauma, infertility, postpartum challenges, perimenopause, grief, body image concerns, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for something to change, therapy can provide a place to gain clarity, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with yourself and the people who matter most.
Clients often tell me they appreciate having a therapist who is both compassionate and practical—someone who offers thoughtful guidance while creating space for reflection, insight, and meaningful change. My goal is not to tell you how to live your life, but to walk alongside you as you discover your own path toward greater peace, confidence, and connection.
If you're considering therapy, I invite you to reach out. Finding the right therapist matters, and I would be honored to learn more about your story, answer your questions, and help you determine whether we're a good fit. Even if you're unsure where to begin, you don't have to have it all figured out before taking that first step.
