Leandra Desinord
Marriage and Family Therapist, LPC
Who are you when no one’s around?
If you struggle to answer that question, you're not alone.
Maybe you've become really good at being who everyone else needs you to be. The dependable daughter. The successful professional. The partner who holds everything together. The woman who can handle just about anything — until you're alone with yourself and realize you don't quite know what you need anymore.
You don't have to arrive with everything figured out. You just have to be willing to get curious about yourself.
Who are you when no one's around?
Let's find out.

Allyse Teltser
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Some people come to therapy carrying years of pain they have never had the words for. Others come in the middle of a crisis, trying to hold themselves or their family together. Wherever you are starting from, this is a place where you do not have to minimize what you are going through or rush toward being okay.
I work with preteens, teens, adults, and families facing some of the hardest things a person can face — trauma, intense emotions, self-harm, depression, and the kind of suffering that does not show up neatly on the outside. My approach is direct, warm, and grounded in treatments that actually work. I will not shy away from the hard stuff, and I will not ask you to be further along than you are.
If you are ready to start, or just ready to ask a question, reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.

Emily Maynard
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help smart, sensitive people who want more out of therapy. You want more than worksheets and listening for the big questions: why do you still feel 16 when you're around your mother, why do all your relationships keep ending the same way, why does achieving your business goals or having that fund from your grandparents still never feel like it's enough money, why aren't you over that terrible night in college that you can barely even remember, why is it all so hard? You want therapy that is personalized to your actual experiences, not just the same "set boundaries/do self-care" advice from tiktok, and someone who will see what's actually in your way and how to shift it. I help clients who feel like their mind is moving too fast to slow down, get connected with their intuition, and feel safe enough to move forward.
