Christine Henry
Psychologist, Ph.D
As a neurodivergent therapist, I enjoy working with adults who are exploring or have recently discovered that they are ADHD, autistic, or both. We can find ways to adapt the world to better suit you instead of trying to fit into neurotypical standards. Learn how to improve your connections with others, strategies to regulate emotions, increase motivation, find more fulfillment at your job,
and even experience moments of joy. I also specialize in grief, childhood, and religious trauma.

Sarah Malavenda
Registered Social Worker, LSW
As a therapist, my goal is to work together to find the healing process that works best for you. Since we all have unique needs and experiences, I like to meet clients where they are, whatever that looks like.
My style is compassionate, calm, and curious. In session, I offer an interactive approach based on trust and respect so you don’t feel alone when things get messy. I also bring my genuine & authentic self to sessions, which means that I am there for you when things are heavy or when you need a bit of humor to brighten your day.
I specialize in life transitions, burnout, anxiety, depression, trauma, sex therapy, couples therapy, and more. I use a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and a variety of therapeutic techniques to cater to each client’s unique needs.
If you’d like to learn more about myself or therapy generally, I’m happy to hop on a quick call to share more information!
