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.

While a person can feel better after a good talk with a friend or relative, for moderate or severe emotional distress, this relief is only temporary. Talking with a trained listener helps alleviate emotional distress for good. The clinicians in our practice are trained and ready to help you.

Dr. Vincent Dyer - Dyer Psychology, Inc
Psychologist, PsyD
Most of the people I work with are functioning — sometimes very well — but privately aware that something deserves real attention. That might be burnout, grief, anxiety that doesn't have an obvious source, a relationship under strain, or a growing sense that who they are and who they've become don't quite line up.
What they have in common isn't a career level or a specific presenting problem. It's that they're serious about understanding what's actually going on — not just getting through it.
My practice is private pay and selective. I also conduct comprehensive psychological evaluations for adults, including ADHD assessment and diagnostic clarification. I hold a PSYPACT license, meaning I'm authorized to provide telehealth therapy across 40+ states — the full list is above.
If this sounds like where you are, a brief consultation is a low-stakes way to find out if we're a good fit.
