Molly Toomey
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
To all those who don't fit neatly into society's norms of gender, sexuality, relationships, and cultures—this is a space for you! As a queer neurodivergent person and immigrant, I'm deeply passionate about connecting my communities to affirming, accessible mental health care. I've helped hundreds of people to get "un-stuck" from difficult pasts and repetitive cycles and to move toward clarity, connection, community, and a life they enjoy living. I'd love to help you on your own journey forward, with me by your side as your ally and co-conspirator.

CT Neuro Health
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I strive to offer personalized support to all my patients. I am trained to specialize in working with traumatic disorders including Borderline Personality Disorder. I have also chosen to specialize in biofeedback/neurofeedback modalities to support further healing. These interventions support greater control over our stress systems to make our lives more effective. In my practice, I provide individual sessions to individuals, couples, professional supervision, and biofeedback.

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.

Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When new stressors arise, they can activate old patterns that make it hard to cope in a healthy way. It helps to have a place to talk through what is happening in your life today while also working to understand how the past is informing the present. I am an experienced psychodynamic psychologist who can help you do both, so you can reduce distress you are feeling now, and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
My name is Damon Neely. I have been a therapist since 2012. I didn't come to this work through a straightforward path. Before I was a therapist, I was a U.S. Marine — trained to project strength, suppress what's underneath, and keep moving regardless of what I was carrying. That orientation served me in a lot of contexts. It also cost me things I didn't fully understand until later.
When I transitioned out and eventually found my way into healthcare and then into clinical mental health work, I brought that background with me — not as a credential to display, but as a lived reference point. I know what it's like to operate in high-pressure environments where vulnerability is a liability. I know what it costs to perform competence while something quieter is going on underneath. And I know how unfamiliar it feels to sit across from someone and actually say what's true.
That's the man I built my practice around. Not because it's a profitable niche — though it is — but because I understand him from the inside. The high-performer who has optimized everything in his life except his relationship with himself. The man who can hold a room but can't quiet the voice in his head. The man who takes meticulous care of everyone except himself. These aren't abstract client profiles to me. They're men I recognize.
Over two decades in healthcare and eleven years in clinical practice have sharpened how I work, but the core of it hasn't changed: I believe most men are carrying more than they've ever said out loud, and that saying it — to the right person, in the right space — changes something fundamental. Not just symptom relief. Something deeper. A shift in how a man understands himself and what he believes he deserves.
That's what I show up to do.
