Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Jordan Specht
Marriage and Family Therapist, Intern in Couple and Family Therapy
Are you looking for help navigating relationship issues or sexual dissatisfaction? Do you need a space to safely process the trauma or deconstruct the unhelpful beliefs that hinder you from becoming your most authentic self? The world can feel heavy, and I am here to help you carry that weight. As a systemic therapist, I support my clients in identifying and healing unhealed wounds, understanding how intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics interact, and fostering lifestyles that feel authentic rather than predetermined. All behavior makes sense in context, and I am happy to work alongside you to identify that context to facilitate not only your healing, but your thriving.

Shuwanda Hudson
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
I see therapy as a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels honest and supportive. My work is grounded in curiosity, respect, and collaboration, with an emphasis on helping clients feel understood. I am deeply interested in how lived experience, identity, and nervous system responses shape the ways we cope, relate, and make meaning. My hope is to support you in developing insight and practical tools that foster self-trust, emotional flexibility, and a greater sense of agency in your life.

Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
I am trained in evidence-based practices for the treatment of OCD, anxiety, panic and phobias, trichotillomania and skin picking (BFRBs), and athlete mental health. I provide a non-judgmental environment where you can address feelings of uncertainty, learn and implement new skills, and make meaningful changes in your life. Together, we will examine the challenges you are facing, set clear goals, and develop a plan to minimize the impact of stress and anxiety on your daily functioning. Building trust is fundamental to the therapeutic relationship, and I strive to meet individuals where they are at the start of therapy. My approach is goal-oriented, supportive, and collaborative.

With 15 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I genuinely love being part of the moment when things start to shift, when you feel more grounded, more open, and more like yourself again. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as your whole self, and I’ll do the same. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have already done therapy and want something that helps them break through old patterns and grow in a new direction.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step? Do you want to make a change but do not know where to start?
Maybe you’re carrying stress, frustration, anxiety, depression, or a sense that something in your life just isn’t lining up the way you hoped. Those feelings are completely human—and they’re also signs that you’re ready for support. You don’t have to sort them out alone. I specialize in supporting clients dealing with mood & anxiety disorders, couples therapy, including emotional, physical, and sexual intimacy issues, ADHD, and men's mental health issues. I also work closely with LGBTQ clients.

Manizeh F Raza
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
Self growth and seeking support is not always an easy thing to do. My commitment to you is that I will do my best to create a safe space to explore barriers and patterns in order to utilize your strengths and build a more fulfilling life. Whether you are experiencing a tough life transition, navigating relationships and identities or having difficulty managing emotional stressors, I will do my best to be a source of assistance.
My goal is to help you reach your goals. I work collaboratively to support my clients to help improve the quality of their lives. Therapy can be a vulnerable process and it is my hope to create a safe space to allow for growth and healing. I provide interventions from a person-centered approach and a holistic/multicultural perspective.
I am a Muslim female of color and I understand the complexity of issues and layers as it relates to acculturation, intersection of identities, racism and family life. I am here to support my clients in the navigation of the impact of these stressors on their mental health, and help them achieve their goals.
