Vickie Bhatia
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You're doing everything right, so why does it feel like it's not enough? That question shows up constantly in my work with high-functioning adults and couples who look put together from the outside and are quietly exhausted on the inside. I help people who are used to handling things on their own figure out what's not working, whether that's a relationship stuck in the same fight, a pattern of overthinking that won't quiet down, or a life that checks every box and still doesn't feel like theirs. I bring honest, grounded feedback and 15+ years of clinical training and experience to that work. If you're tired of managing everything alone, reach out.

Megan Noren
Psychologist, Psy.D.
If you are feeling stuck in the same emotional patterns, struggling to adjust to changing circumstances, or finding yourself overwhelmed by the demands of life, therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin to make meaningful changes.
I'm Dr. Megan Noren, a licensed clinical psychologist and the owner of Maitri Therapy Services. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that understanding our emotions can help us develop a deeper sense of self and create healthier relationships. I strive to provide a warm, supportive space where you can feel understood without judgment and explore the experiences that have shaped who you are.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and the mental load that can come with balancing competing demands. I have a particular interest in maternal mental health, including perinatal depression and anxiety and the emotional and identity shifts that accompany parenthood. I also welcome clients exploring questions of identity, self-worth, boundaries, and connection.
In our work together, we'll explore the emotions and patterns that may be keeping you stuck, make sense of painful experiences, and identify what you need to feel more grounded and connected. I draw primarily from Emotion-Focused Therapy, with additional approaches tailored to your needs and goals. My hope is to help you develop greater self-compassion, strengthen your relationships, and build the confidence to live in a way that feels more aligned with your values.
Maitri is a Sanskrit word associated with loving-kindness and benevolence. These ideas reflect the heart of my practice: creating space for connection, trust, courage, and compassion as you work toward healing and growth.
You don't have to navigate everything on your own. I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.

Aiki Relationship Institute
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
My passion is to help people create and maintain the best possible relationships they can in their lives. Most of that focus is on intimate relationships. Earlier in my career, I worked primarily with families around child-centered problems, and I ran the child and adolescent treatment team at a community mental health center for about fifteen years. Since I went into full-time private practice in 2006, I have shifted more and more toward working with couples, and my practice is now 70 to 80 per cent couples. I tend to be active but personal. I push couples pretty hard, but also offer a lot of support.

Emem Itiat
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
I believe in the power of healing through promoting self-awareness, autonomy and empowerment, and also in people's strength to move towards change. Though suffering is a part of life, something that all humans share, working to manifest helpful and sustainable coping mechanisms, and skills that will work to serve you long term makes a difference in the quality of life a person experiences. I work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) and humanist framework, observing individuals as a whole, and when it comes to the war against body discrimination and terrorism, I believe in working to enhance radical acceptance through promoting self-contentment, end weight discrimination by identifying the underlying and overlying systems of oppression, dismantling those systems, and working against the cultural obsession with diet culture, and the pursuit of thinness and perfection. I believe in concepts such as radical self-love, self-trust, self-awareness, radical-acceptance, freedom, agency, self-compassion, and self-actualization to help guide individuals to fulfill their potential and maximize their wellbeing.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
Are you looking for a therapist who is engaging, warm, understanding, experienced and very knowledgeable? If so, I'm your therapist. I have helped others like you improve their relationships, overcome anxiety, depression and anger. Even if you have lost hope, together we can build self-confidence, strengthen resilience, and find motivation to overcome the obstacles. Whether you come for individual, or for couples therapy, my clients are often surprised what can be overcome and how much better things can be.
Most people spend weeks or even months contemplating getting professional help. During that time, most continue to do what hasn't worked and things can deteriorate fast. When you contact me today, you are opening the door to relieving distressful symptoms and living a better life.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Carrying anxiety, holding back your voice, or tending to everyone else’s needs can feel deeply lonely. If you’re stretched thin or unsure of your next step, I want you to know that you don’t have to keep doing this by yourself.
With over 30 years as a psychotherapist specializing in EFT, somatic work, anxiety, and trauma, I’ve supported countless women right at this crossroads. I’ve seen how healing becomes possible when the body is included in the conversation and the nervous system finally has room to unwind.
Together, we’ll create a therapeutic space filled with warmth, honesty, and grounded support. Using body-based tools and compassionate guidance, I’ll help you feel safe enough to explore what’s underneath—and empowered to build the life you’ve been longing for.
