Alejandra Kenia Ipina
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
You don't have to continue pretending you are perfectly fine. Whether you are an eldest daughter, only daughter, or mom, you may have learned early on to take on more responsibility in relationships. Deep down, you know it takes much self-talk to be present, to set boundaries, you find it difficult to answer phone calls because you are afraid, and you desperately want help, but don't know how to ask.
Carrying heavy family expectations, chronic guilt, and the pressure to be perfect takes a heavy physical and emotional toll. If you're exhausted from self-neglect and feel like your own needs are too much, no estas sola.
I'm Kenia an LMFT with 9 years of experience helping high achieving, first gen women heal from childhood trauma and break the cycle of survival patterns.
Working together we use somatic therapy to release stored survival tension and nervous system stress. Explore complex family dynamics without losing yourself. Rebuild self-trust, repair confidence, and feel secure in who you are.
My approach is grounding, nurturing and empowering. Ready to take the first step? Call me or text me to book your free 15 minute consultation.

Dr. Maxwell Rappoport
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make that step feel comfortable, productive, and worthwhile. I’m a clinical psychologist who believes meaningful progress happens when therapy feels like a genuine working relationship built on trust, openness, curiosity, and collaboration. I bring empathy, creativity, and a down-to-earth style to our work, adapting therapy to who you are rather than expecting you to fit a particular approach.
Clients often tell me they feel at ease with me quickly, which can make it easier to talk honestly about what isn’t working and understand the patterns that may be keeping them feeling trapped. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety or overthinking, relationship difficulties, performance pressure, unhealthy ways of coping, or simply feel that something in your life needs to change, we’ll work together to better understand what’s getting in the way and find practical ways forward.
I especially enjoy working with people who are thoughtful and curious about themselves but want more than insight alone. If you’re looking for therapy that is engaged, collaborative, and focused on helping you translate greater self-understanding into meaningful change, I’d be glad to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Whatever the reason that brings you to psychotherapy at this time, I offer refuge in a confidential and nonjudgmental space where your story will be listened to with sensitivity and care. I am especially passionate about supporting people who are facing transitions: elders, people in midlife, students, artists, thinkers, and my fellow therapists. I am committed to helping couples manage conflict and envision new ways of communicating and being together. I specialize in accompanying you to those interior places that feel difficult, and in revisiting painful experiences that you can talk to no one else about. My practice is founded on our developing an authentic relationship of mutual regard. It will be my privilege to walk alongside you as we confront conflict, distress, and change to move together toward your healing, growth, and greater contentment in life. Please feel free to contact me for a brief complimentary online consultation.

Lisa Chester-Schyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
What makes my practice unique is the presence, depth and care I bring to each session. I will meet you where you are and offer a compassionate space to explore the layers that exist beneath grief, loss, life transitions and trauma. My work is grounded in genuine connection and deep listening and I will offer a reflection of what I am hearing you say. This helps clients move toward healing and self-understanding at their own pace. If you are in need of someone to walk beside you I invite you to reach out. You're not alone.

Erin Powers
Counselor/Therapist, APCC 9590
I believe that we all have the capacity to heal. I take a trauma-informed, body-based, and spiritually grounded approach to working with clients. I have experience working with clients (primarily women) from a variety of backgrounds, including those experiencing anxiety and co-occurring health issues impacting mental health. I enjoy incorporating mindfulness, expressive arts, and other holistic modalities into my sessions and will provide you with resources to utilize in your everyday life. As Carl Jung states, "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become".
