Dr. Amy Karbasi
Psychologist, PsyD
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect far more than your physical health—it can change your identity, your relationships, your sense of safety, and your hopes for the future. With a strong medical background and years of training and experience treating chronic pain and chronic illness, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for making sense of these experiences and finding actionable ways to move forward. My approach is collaborative and individualized, combining evidence-based psychological treatment with an understanding of the complex relationship between the brain, body, nervous system, emotions, behavior, and symptoms. Whether you are struggling with chronic pain, symptoms that persist despite medical treatment, illness-related anxiety, medical trauma, PTSD, sleep problems, or trying to adjust to a life that has changed, therapy can help you feel more capable, hopeful, and empowered to build the life you want.

Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
Therapy can be a place to step away from the expectations and pressures that have shaped your life and make room for what you genuinely need. I work with adults who may look like they are doing well on the outside while privately feeling exhausted, disconnected, stuck, or unsure of what comes next. Together, we can explore what you are experiencing now as well as the patterns, relationships, and expectations that may be contributing to it. My practice is intentionally small so that I can be fully present and thoughtful in my work with each client. I aim to create a space where you can explore your experiences openly, better understand yourself, and find ways forward that feel meaningful and sustainable.

Stacy Lepley
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CBC
Choosing to step into therapy is a profound act of courage. If you are arriving here feeling fractured, exhausted by systemic pressures, or disconnected from your own sense of peace, I want to welcome you just as you are. I believe that therapy is an equal, sacred partnership built on radical warmth, deep safety, and authentic human connection. You are the ultimate expert on your own life history; my role is to walk beside you as a grounded, down-to-earth ally, providing the space and the tools you need to find your footing and heal.
My worldview as a counselor is shaped by a deep understanding of the delicate bridge between mind and body. True emotional wellness cannot exist in isolation. You are a whole person whose nervous system, thoughts, and daily stress levels are intimately tied to your unique biology, your past experiences, and the heavy social and economic realities you navigate every day. Because of this, I look at your story through a highly integrative lens. I don't believe in rigid, cold clinical boxes or passive, distant head-nodding. Instead, I bring my full, authentic self to our sessions, blending a gentle clinical perspective with an open heart and an interactive, highly collaborative style.
In our work together, we will move at a pace that feels entirely safe for you. Because everyone processes life and pain differently, I love using creative, visual, and somatic frameworks to help bring what is happening internally into the light, transforming overwhelming or abstract emotions into tangible, manageable steps. Together, we will gently explore the root causes of what is keeping you stuck, soothe your nervous system from old trauma or chronic burnout, and unpack the real-world burdens that demanding environments place on your mind. There is no judgment here—only a dedicated, compassionate space where you can quiet the noise of the world, honor your lived experience, and reclaim your personal agency to build a life of lasting peace and clarity.

Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I’m a clinical psychologist who believes therapy works best when it feels thoughtful, collaborative, and genuinely human. I work with adults who may be navigating stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, emotional patterns, questions of identity or direction, or simply a sense that something in their lives is no longer working as well as they would like.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based psychology, but I do not believe therapy should feel mechanical or overly clinical. I try to understand each person in the context of their experiences, relationships, values, and the ways they have learned to cope with life. Together, we look not only at what is difficult, but also at the patterns underneath those difficulties and the possibilities for responding differently.
I often help clients develop greater self-awareness, tolerate discomfort more effectively, challenge rigid or unhelpful ways of thinking, and make gradual changes that are realistic and sustainable. At the same time, I believe therapy is not simply about fixing problems. It can also be about understanding yourself more deeply, becoming more intentional in how you live, and creating a life that feels more aligned with what matters to you.
My practice is provided entirely through online therapy, allowing me to work with clients from the privacy and convenience of their own space. I currently provide teletherapy to clients in states where I am licensed or authorized to practice through PSYPACT.
