Dr. Cheryl D La Rotta
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
I believe that healing isn’t about being 'fixed'; it’s about rediscovering the person you were before challenges told you who to be. My practice is built on the belief that a safe, non-judgmental space is the ultimate catalyst for change. Here, we move at your pace, trading 'shoulds' for self-compassion. Together, we’ll navigate your unique story with a blend of professional expertise and genuine human connection, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and empowered to lead a more authentic life. Your journey will not be alone.

Brighter Day Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D
At Brighter Day Psychological Services, understanding your mind is the first step toward healing and growth. As a licensed Clinical and School Psychologist, I specialize in neuropsychological and psychological evaluations that help people gain clarity about how they think, learn, and cope with life’s challenges. Many of my clients come to me feeling confused or overwhelmed, wondering why they struggle with focus, memory, learning, or mood. Through compassionate, thorough assessment, I help uncover the “why” behind these challenges and create a clear plan for moving forward. My evaluations explore areas such as ADHD, learning difficulties, anxiety, depression, trauma, memory changes, and executive functioning, always tailored to each individual’s unique story. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful. Every report I provide translates complex information into practical insights that can make everyday life easier—whether that’s at school, work, or home. My goal is for every person I work with to leave feeling seen, understood, and equipped with tools for a brighter day ahead.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I specialize in working with clients from the ages of 14 to adulthood, who are inquisitive, self-aware, and deeply motivated to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, move into a place of self-respect/love, and develop adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and problem-solving. I have worked for many years with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with trauma and change and searching for authenticity, often in a world that values the superficial. Therapy is a process of seeking meaning, managing change, letting go of what no longer makes sense for who we are and what we want, healing, and growing.
I am most suited to help clients dealing with loss, prior childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity (in all its manifestations), divorce, self-esteem, grief, and emotional regulation. The goals are different for everyone, yet I believe that we all want to feel more balanced, more joyful, and more healthfully connected with others.
As a psychologist with 25 years of post-doctoral experience, I’ve been exposed to various modalities, settings, and clients dealing with differing issues, life changes, and developmental expectations. I’ve also found that my professional practice has evolved as I’ve matured, raised children, and survived losses and challenges. We are in this together.

Jarrece Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Healing is possible, and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way—right from the comfort of your home.
