Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I understand that your life is complex and there are various demands and expectations at different life stages that can be impacted by situational and mental health struggles. It's important to be mindful of the interaction between those demands and your stage of life.
My experiences are diverse. I have worked for over twenty years with individuals, couples, and groups across the lifespan and socioeconomic spectrum by providing a range of clinical services including assessment, consultation, and psychotherapy. I know how challenging asking for help can be and I strive to work collaboratively with clients, both validating your feelings and experiences while helping you to uncover patterns and obstacles that are holding you back from reaching your goals.
I seek to provide treatment in an integrative way, utilizing Solution-Focused, Interpersonal, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Using these modalities we will focus not just on difficulties, but on areas of strength and positive coping mechanisms. As part of my work, I am always happy to collaborate with medical doctors, attorneys, in-home therapeutic teams, and school systems to ensure that all providers working with you or your family are in sync with the goals you are striving to achieve.

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.

Daniel Snow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Recent events, and especially the pandemic, have shown how essential mental health is for all of us. I believe strongly in access to care, which is why using both telehealth and insurance are important. I'm also dedicated to evidence-based approaches that are specifically focused on each person or couple. There's no 'one size fits all' in terms of what approach we use, as long as you can see it being helpful to you and relevant to what you need. Please see below for more information about how I can help. And if you'd like a consultation, please reach out.

Dr. Kahina Beasley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Let’s work together on finding solutions for your life. When we run into challenges, it can be so tough to figure out the best plan to move forward. Sometimes we just need that extra boost or coping strategy to get where we want to be. Through therapy, I provide my clients with tools to cope effectively when adjusting to these life hurdles or changes. I help you find strengths you may not realize you have, by tapping into what you may be unable to see during your time of stress, depression, or anxiety. Together, we'll collaborate to determine what steps would work best for you to come out of your life transition feeling empowered and psychologically healthy. My therapy model is short-term and solutions-focused, aimed at reaching steps toward your goals as soon as possible to begin finally feeling like your best self again.
Separate from therapy, I also specialize in psychological assessments for children and adults. Testing is typically for school-based concerns, such as learning disabilities, behavior challenges, ADHD, or gifted eligibility. My reports help as needed for clients to receive accommodations in class/standardized exams and meet their life goals.

Is anxiety, whether chronic or situational, hindering your ability to live a life free from fear? Do you struggle to silence or control the relentless, illogical thoughts that dominate your mind, triggering fearful responses and creating discomfort throughout your body? Maybe anxiety has disrupted your sleep, changed your eating patterns, or led to unsettling physical symptoms like heart palpitations, pain, or excessive sweating.
The experience of anxiety can feel like being trapped under turbulent water. Anxiety disorders can manifest in various ways. Regardless of how it's affecting you, the positive news is that with the right anxiety treatment, strategies, and coaching, it's possible to alleviate, manage, and eventually overcome anxiety and the fear it brings.
If anxiety is preventing you from doing the things you want or need to do, seeking treatment for anxiety could be crucial for your well-being, providing significant relief.
