Mary Gale Gurnsey
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I became passionate about this work because I've witnessed how deeply relationship trauma affects people's ability to trust themselves and others. Many of my clients come in feeling lost, unsure of what healthy actually looks like, and carrying the weight of past relationships where they lost their sense of self.
What I love most is helping people recognize that they're not broken — they're responding logically to what they've experienced. By understanding your attachment patterns and past dynamics, we can build a different future. My goal is to help you feel secure in yourself while building relationships where you're truly valued as an equal partner.
I believe therapy should be collaborative, non-judgmental, and respectful of your pace.

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. 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.
