Ariana Marciniak
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA
Ariana is passionate about working with populations holding intersectional identities. She supports adolescence and young adults in navigating their identity, relationships, and life transitions. As a queer, multiethnic therapist, she also has a passion for working with LGBTQ+ folks and people of color, holding space for the ways oppression, intergenerational trauma, and systemic barriers intersect with mental health.
As a multicultural, multiethnic therapist of Mexican and Polish heritage, I understand what it’s like to exist in the in-between—navigating identity, belonging, and the push and pull of different cultural expectations. I work closely with couples and those in non-monogamous relationships, using the Gottman Method, attachment-based therapy, and relational interventions to uncover disconnections and help you experience your relationships in their fullest, healthiest form. I also support couples working through sexual discrepancies, ineffective communication, and patterns of conflict that create distance rather than connection. Using Nonviolent Communication (NVC), I help partners develop deeper understanding, express needs with clarity, and cultivate emotional and physical intimacy in ways that feel safe and fulfilling for both partners.

Relationships and Anxiety Specialist Cecilia Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
I'm passionate about helping women heal from childhood wounds and relational trauma. Most of my clients are in their mid 20's, 30's and 40's, feeling anxious and lost in relationships that don't feel fulfilling. Whether its romantic relationships, career and social relationships, or family of origin relationships, they feel like they are doing so much, giving so much but still don’t feel like any of it is enough. I see them struggle as they feel stuck feeling unfulfilled, anxious and overwhelmed, often in cycles of perfectionism, validation seeking, or people pleasing behaviors.
I therapy, I help women gain insight into the different parts within themselves (IFS) and guide them toward awareness of narratives that keep them stuck (Narrative Therapy). I facilitate the process of rewriting these narratives and develop once that lead to healing and empowerment. I help women become more attuned to their emotions (Somatic therapy and Mindfulness), their needs and their values (ACT) so that they can move through life feeling proud of themselves and the life they're living. Through this process, I’ve seen countless women become more calm and confident and start relationships that feel healthy and fulfilling.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding—of ourselves, our patterns, and the biological and emotional systems that shape how we experience the world. I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, integrating clinical experience, psychological insight, and education about how the brain and nervous system function under stress, trauma, and emotional strain.
Throughout my career in community mental health, private practice, medical settings, and teaching, I have worked with people facing complex emotional and relational challenges. These experiences have shaped a practical, compassionate, and direct style that focuses on helping clients understand why they feel and react the way they do, while developing concrete skills for change. I believe therapy is not only about symptom relief but about increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to navigate life with greater clarity and intention.
My work often includes helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses. By learning how to regulate the nervous system and tolerate uncertainty, individuals can respond more thoughtfully rather than react automatically. I aim to create a collaborative and respectful therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore difficult experiences, retell their stories when needed, and move toward a stronger sense of stability and self-understanding.
Therapy is a process of growth, accountability, and compassion. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help them build insight, resilience, and a more grounded sense of who they are and how they want to live.

Joanna Vergoth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, NCPsyA
I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 27 years of experience providing trauma-focused, psychodynamic psychotherapy to adults with complex trauma histories. I am particularly attuned to issues of relational trauma, attachment disturbances, abuse recovery, psychosexual health, anxiety disorders, and binge eating. My practice is culturally responsive and grounded in respect for each client’s lived experience and identity. Therapy with me is collaborative, paced with care, and grounded in deep attunement. I believe symptoms are adaptations to overwhelming experiences. I help clients understand how past experiences shape present patterns, transform trauma-shaped beliefs, and reconnect with their inner strength and authenticity. If you are ready for profound healing, I would be honored to work with you
