Psychodynamic
Dr. Vanessa Vitiello
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Choosing a therapist, especially during pregnancy or postpartum, can feel like a vulnerable and important decision. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to show up as you are. I specialize in working with women navigating anxiety, feelings of overwhelm, and perfectionism during pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood. Many of my clients are used to holding it all together, yet feel anxious, stretched thin, or disconnected during this transition. This can be completely disorienting, leaving you feeling like it is hard to ask for support.
My approach is integrative and holistic, combining evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and mind–body practices. With my background as a psychologist and training as a yoga teacher, I help clients not only gain insight, but also feel more regulated and capable.
I offer a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where we can make sense of your experience and develop tools that feel realistic and sustainable. Therapy with me is about creating space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with a clearer sense of what they need and how to care for themselves

I create a warm and supportive environment for my clients, and will meet you where you are as you begin your journey, whether this is your first time in therapy or you are returning.

I will be an active and involved partner in your treatment, and will not simply sit back and listen.

Psychodynamic
Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
True change often requires more than just learning new coping skills; it requires an environment where you can safely explore the deeper layers of your experience. With over three decades of clinical practice, my approach is rooted in the belief that the relationship between therapist and client is the primary engine for lasting transformation. I specialize in a developmental psychodynamic model, which means, though our relationship, we explore what factors stand behind patterns that have been interfering with experiencing life in the way you really want, whether it be in relationships, at work or in leisure pursuits. If you have the interest or inclination, this exploration can also take place within a Jungian framework, looking at ways to understand ourselves more deeply, such as through dreams or creative productions, and to better integrate conscious and unconscious life.
I have particular expertise and experience working with trauma in a way that integrates emotional safety, the capacity for self-regulation and the mind-body connection. I also am well experienced working with late adolescents and young adults as they (and their families) navigate greater independence and autonomy, including when this navigation stalls, leaving the young person stuck and struggling to move forward or take steps to leave the parental home.
Whether we are working through the challenges of a major life transition or diving into the symbolic language of dreams through a Jungian lens, my goal is to help you move beyond temporary relief toward a more integrated, meaningful life. Whether you are a parent seeking support for your child or an adult looking to rediscover purpose in mid-life or retirement, I approach psychotherapy as a quintessential tool and the therapy relationship as a grounding and growth-oriented connection.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Transitions in life and work can bring both possibility and uncertainty. You may be preparing for a new chapter, weighing an important personal, career, or financial decision, or struggling with a sense of being stuck. You may also be considering how to create a life that feels more fulfilling, sustainable, and aligned with your values. The decisions you make and circumstances you face during such periods can meaningfully shape what comes next. Although these moments can be stressful, they can also invite deeper reflection on identity, relationships, mental health, and how you want to live. You do not have to work through them alone.
