Nick Sotor
Psychologist, PsyD
Sculpting meaning from our lives can be challenging especially during difficult times. I am a licensed clinical Psychologist who provides evidence-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and am a Linehan Board Certified clinician with an expertise in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have an expertise treating a wide range of mental disorders with a specific focus on problems of emotional dysregulation including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and personality disorders.
I strive to understand individuals within the larger context of their lives rather than focusing on simplistic diagnoses or labels. This stance allows me to practice psychotherapy in a genuine, relational, and compassionate way while at the same time while remaining firmly rooted in theory and providing treatments that have been shown to work.
My style is direct, thoughtful, and often irreverent. I value a strong therapeutic relationship and aim to be honest and open in treatment to encourage direct communication and help co-create a therapeutic space that feels validating, safe, and helpful.

At the core of my work is the belief that past and present relationships play a powerful role in shaping who we are. Therapy offers a unique opportunity to experience a different kind of relationship: one grounded in empathy, curiosity, and respect, where meaningful growth can begin.

Kathy Pflederer
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, B.S.Nursing, MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling,
I believe therapy is a place where you can slow down, feel truly heard, and begin making sense of the patterns, experiences, and emotions that may be keeping you stuck. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical, and I draw from evidence-based approaches while honoring each person’s values, faith, and unique story. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-understanding, healthier relationships, and a life that feels more aligned with who you want to be.

Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping clients through burnout, disconnection, and feelings of anxiety, apathy, and "not enough." This often happens when we're trying to do all the things for all the people (at work and/or at home) while slowly abandoning ourselves. Burnout is often felt in midlife but can hit us at any age because, let's face it, life seems to feel more and more demanding.
I also help clients with ADHD and executive functioning. This may look like procrastination, perfectionism, distraction, overwhelm, difficulty setting goals and organizing tasks, challenges with time management, and avoidance.
Finally, I'm a single mom by choice and know how daunting this option can feel like for single women considering this for themselves. I can be a partner and help you navigate the exploration process, the trying journey, and the living-it experience as a solo parent by choice. You don't have to do this alone.

Fatima Mohammad, Avec Counselling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, RCC
I work with individuals, couples, and business professionals who are often managing high expectations, demanding careers, and important relationships, while also trying to stay connected to themselves. Therapy with me is a space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and move toward greater clarity and alignment, while not losing sight of the goals.
Clients often come to me for support with relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, burnout, identity questions, and intercultural dynamics. I bring a relational and collaborative approach, meaning we work together in a way that feels thoughtful, honest, and tailored to your needs- not one-size-fits-all.
At the heart of my work is a belief that meaningful change happens when people feel seen, understood, and supported without judgment. I aim to offer that kind of space, where you can explore what’s not working, strengthen what matters most, and build relationships, with yourself and others that feel more connected and fulfilling.

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
Many people struggle with the belief that they are not good enough, and they subsequently suppress parts of themselves that they fear will alienate them from others. My primary task as a therapist is to create a safe and validating environment in which you can feel free to be your whole self, without fear of rejection or judgment. My goal is to recognize, understand, and honor each part of you, especially the parts that feel most vulnerable.
