Emily E. Smith
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, CADC, BC-DMT
I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist/counselor. I enjoy using a positive psychology approach to help motivate my clients to make lasting emotional and behavioral changes. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process - we will work on treatment goals that we define together! I encourage my clients to trust their own process, engage in self-acceptance to promote an improved sense of self-worth. I like to integrate strategies including mindfulness and cognitive/behavioral approaches to improve coping and emotional regulation skills. I believe that helping individuals develop insight into emotional and relationship patterns is a key component of therapy.

Pamela Meyerson
Therapist, LCSW, Master in School Psychology
You present yourself as having things all figured out when deep down inside you are feeling lost and vulnerable. You are scared because you have lived this way for so long and have never experienced more than temporary relief from it. Perhaps you have not been able to share how you really feel with friends or loved ones. Deep down inside you are exhausted and ready to feel differently. You are ready to be vulnerable and live life differently with hope and passion.
Clients come to me with often after exhausting other avenues. Therapy with me is a place where you will learn to open up and not feel judged. I am very empathic but also here for you to make changes. Taking the first step is hard but I can assure you that you will not regret it. We will move at your pace and relief will come.

Kailyn Bobb
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe each person has an innate capacity for growth and self-awareness just waiting to be explored. If you are navigating challenging life transitions, a blend of personal and professional challenges, have relationship issues, dealing with feelings of uncertainty, self-doubt, lack of fulfillment in various aspects of your life, or perhaps on a quest for a deeper sense of self-discovery, an existential-integration approach may provide a collaborative and compassionate space for you to reflect upon your experiences, gain clarity about your values, and deepen your understanding of yourself. I'm a USAF veteran so it is important to me to put "integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do."

Paul Losoff
Psychologist, PsyD
As a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience, I bring a diverse array of therapeutic techniques to each session. Those who know me would say that my style is generally laid back, but I'm also willing to gently challenge my clients in a constructive way when it benefits them. I have a pragmatic approach toward helping you and I actively engage rather than remain silent during sessions.
