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.

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.

Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
True change often requires more than just learning new coping skills; it requires an environment where you can safely explore the deeper layers of your experience. With over three decades of clinical practice, my approach is rooted in the belief that the relationship between therapist and client is the primary engine for lasting transformation. I specialize in a developmental psychodynamic model, which means, though our relationship, we explore what factors stand behind patterns that have been interfering with experiencing life in the way you really want, whether it be in relationships, at work or in leisure pursuits. If you have the interest or inclination, this exploration can also take place within a Jungian framework, looking at ways to understand ourselves more deeply, such as through dreams or creative productions, and to better integrate conscious and unconscious life.
I have particular expertise and experience working with trauma in a way that integrates emotional safety, the capacity for self-regulation and the mind-body connection. I also am well experienced working with late adolescents and young adults as they (and their families) navigate greater independence and autonomy, including when this navigation stalls, leaving the young person stuck and struggling to move forward or take steps to leave the parental home.
Whether we are working through the challenges of a major life transition or diving into the symbolic language of dreams through a Jungian lens, my goal is to help you move beyond temporary relief toward a more integrated, meaningful life. Whether you are a parent seeking support for your child or an adult looking to rediscover purpose in mid-life or retirement, I approach psychotherapy as a quintessential tool and the therapy relationship as a grounding and growth-oriented connection.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Does setting boundaries feel uncomfortable or even unsafe? Do you find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or striving for perfection while quietly feeling exhausted? I specialize in helping women and helping professionals break free from burnout and reclaim their time, energy, and sense of self. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and REBT, I offer a supportive space where real, practical change happens.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
What if the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors you struggle with aren't signs that something is wrong with you—but clues that something important deserves your curiosity? Many of us spend years asking, "What's wrong with me?" I believe therapy begins with a different question: "What makes sense about the way I've learned to survive?" Together, we'll explore the patterns that have shaped your life with compassion rather than judgment, helping you develop more flexible ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions while creating meaningful, lasting change. If you're looking for a therapist who combines warmth, honest conversation, and evidence-based care, I'd be honored to work with you. If you'd like to learn more about my approach, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute consultation.
