Marcy Miller
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ph.D.
People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what they’re even feeling. You might know something isn’t right, but not yet have the words for it, or you may feel pulled in different directions, unsure which part of you to trust.
In our work together, we slow things down and make space for what’s happening beneath the surface. Rather than rushing toward solutions, I help you understand your emotional world in a way that feels clear, grounded, and meaningful. My approach is collaborative and deeply relational. We pay attention not just to what you’re going through, but to how you experience yourself and others in those moments. Many clients find that they begin to feel more organized internally: emotions that once felt confusing or overwhelming start to make sense. You may notice greater self-compassion, more confidence in your decisions, and a stronger sense of who you are and what you need.
I bring an attachment-informed, evidence-based approach to therapy, drawing on models such as Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). I work to stay closely attuned to you as an individual, moving at your pace as we explore your history, your relationships, and how they’re shaping your experience right now. Therapy with me is not about fixing you, but about helping you understand yourself more fully and respond to your life with greater clarity and intention. Above all, I aim to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, respected, and supported—where nothing important about your experience has to be minimized, rushed, or handled alone.

Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
My training (Yale University Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology; four-year postdoctoral Certificate in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy) is broad and varied. I currently practice individual therapy and group therapy, both online. My approach to working with you will depend to a great degree on what you are seeking. Some people benefit from brief treatment; others seek and benefit from a deeper and longer exploration. I believe the combination of individual and group therapy can be particularly beneficial for many people. My work is guided as much by my own years of personal therapy and psychoanalysis as by my formal education.

Dr. Ruth Viehoff
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP
Hello, I'm Dr. Ruth Viehoff, and it's a pleasure to virtually meet you! My practice is geared towards gen Z and millennial clients who struggle with anxiety, worry, perfectionism, and ADHD. My clients are often college students, graduate students, or are early in their careers as high-powered professionals. I have experience working with physicians and other medical professionals, engineers, high-stress business professionals, and lawyers. Often my clients over-schedule, over-optimize, and feel like they are working so hard to keep things in order in their lives. To other people, it may appear that you have it all together, but they don't see your internal struggle, your sense of overwhelm, and your hope that you will finally get a grasp on things tomorrow. Often my clients rely on achievement and external forms of validation and praise to feel like they are doing enough. They struggle to internally approve of themselves and their efforts. In therapy, I help my clients to cultivate self-compassion, re-evaluate and replace unhealthy personal standards, and increase attention to their own internal wants, needs, and opinions. Therapy is an opportunity to cultivate your own internal sense of knowing and increase your sense of agency in your own life. Reach out to me today to book a free consultation call!

Dr. Tuvia Hoffman
Psychologist, Psychologist, PhD
Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, or relationship distress as an individual or a couple, I'll treat you with compassion using the most recent evidence-based research. Using an integrative approach, I tailor therapy to fit each client’s unique personality and their specific goals. If you’re struggling with unhelpful thinking patterns, we’ll work together to discover these thoughts and understand what led you astray. I’ll also help you develop a plan to improve your well-being. If you feel stuck with your goals, I can assist you in learning to accept your experiences and circumstances, particularly those that are beyond your control. If you’re questioning your life choices and purpose, we’ll delve into your existential questions and their emotional impact. My aim is to enhance your overall well-being and support you in achieving what’s most important to you.

Kirk Shelton
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I approach therapy as a practical and relational process rather than a set of techniques. People usually come in when long-standing ways of coping no longer fit their current life, even if those strategies once made sense. My work focuses on understanding how those patterns developed, how they continue to function, and how they can be reorganized in ways that support greater flexibility and self-direction. Change matters to me as it shows up in how a person lives, relates, and responds outside the therapy space.
