Mira Cymerman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Thank you for visiting my profile! Reaching out takes courage, and I am glad you are here. Anxiety, depression, and burnout can make everyday life feel heavier than it should. With practice, you can feel your emotions without becoming overwhelmed. You can build confidence to make effective decisions and assert your needs. You can enjoy meaningful relationships without compromising your boundaries or values.
I first earned my BA in psychology from Columbia University, followed by my doctorate in psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology/Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. My previous roles as a school psychologist and special education chairperson have guided my work successfully, not only with students, but also with educators experiencing frustration and burnout in a fast-paced, demanding world.
In addition to being licensed in Maine and New York, I hold the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) credential from the PSYPACT Commission, which allows me me to provide out-of-network care for clients in participating states across the country.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
We often seek therapy because we are hurting and unhappy in our relationships with others and ourselves. Anxiety, sadness, restlessness, and loneliness are often the clues that we feel off-track. Whether you are new to it, or have been in it before, therapy presents the opportunity to invite a professional fellow human into your journey of meaningful living.
I provide evidence-based treatment for anxiety, relational, and trauma-related concerns for neurotypical and neurodivergent adults. I also work with individuals seeking to explore and understand their experiences of gender and sexuality. Our work begins with clarifying the nature of and sources of your concerns, setting a path forward, and working together to help you implement and maintain the changes you seek.

Eileen Griffin
Psychologist, PsyD
Welcome! I work with adults who are ready to look beneath the surface and understand what’s really driving their struggles. I’m particularly drawn to the complicated places where old experiences show up in current relationships, self-doubt, anxiety, grief, or the ways we protect ourselves.
I believe therapy should be a place where you can be honest without having to perform, explain everything perfectly, or make your pain more palatable. We’ll take your experience seriously while also being willing to question the stories you’ve been carrying about yourself.
The work can be challenging. It can also be surprisingly relieving to finally have somewhere to put all of it.
