Erika Gray
Psychologist, Psy.D
Why is it so hard to find a therapist? So many people arrive here exhausted from the search. I understand that your connection to your therapist is paramount to your healing. I offer a free consultation to give you a chance to see if we're a good "fit" with the hope that this can be a place to stop, rest and begin the process you've been longing to begin.

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.
