Self Psychology
Dr. Ashley Geerts-Perry
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
As a licensed psychologist, I am deeply passionate about supporting my clients in enhancing their self-worth and building on their inherent strengths. I believe in the power of rewriting personal narratives, helping clients reframe maladaptive beliefs about themselves and embrace a more empowering story. My approach is rooted in fostering emotional acceptance and guiding clients toward a life that aligns with their values.
I work from a family systems and attachment perspective, recognizing the profound impact relationships and early experiences have on one’s sense of self. I integrate psychodynamic and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles to create a therapeutic space that promotes self-compassion, growth, and resilience. My goal is to help clients not only understand their past but also move forward with a renewed sense of purpose and emotional well-being.

Alistair Highet
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LP, NCPsyA
Being a therapist is a great privilege. I enjoy working with anyone who is eager to understand what is happening in their life and why they are struggling. Together, we'll try to understand what is creating the trouble - including perhaps some unconscious patterns that are at work - and then we'll put them in perspective, cut them down to size, and work through what can be done. I create a safe, empathic, and comfortable environment for counseling where we can talk about anything at all without judgment, and in total privacy.

Self Psychology
Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
Often, perfectionistic and high-striving individuals are both curious about therapy and ambivalent about seeking it. They may feel excited by the possibility of understanding themselves more deeply, while also unsettled by the idea of asking for help with one’s own mind. For people who are used to being competent, self-reliant, and in control, therapy can feel exposing at first.
Michael helps clients understand this hesitation not as resistance, but as part of the work itself: the wish to grow alongside the fear of needing anything at all. Many clients become more comfortable once they see that therapy is not simply about “talking about feelings,” but about learning to observe the mind with more honesty and precision.
Therapy becomes a disciplined space for reflection, which itself can be a powerful tool for developing emotional clarity, self-awareness, and greater freedom in how one responds to pressure, relationships, and oneself. Michael is also attentive to the ways thoughtful, high-striving people can use insight, analysis, mindfulness, or even spiritual ideas to move around painful emotional material rather than through it. When this pattern is noticed early, it can be addressed directly and compassionately, helping therapy remain grounded, emotionally honest, and clinically useful.

Self Psychology
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
We often think of ourselves as what we are given, but instead it's what we make of what we're given. I am guided by a view of identity as a creative narrative and see distress as often occurring when we feel stuck in that creation, bound to selves and lives that aren't working. The goal in therapy is not only to understand how and why we got stuck, but to reengage with our creative and imaginative selves, allowing us to explore new facets of ourselves and experiment with new ways of being. In many ways, we reduce suffering by reintroducing play in our worlds.
