Life can be full of twists and turns, ups and downs. Utilizing many modalities to provide a framework for your growth and learning by first meeting you exactly where you are, is the foundation of my practice. I help you navigate the twists and turns and the ups and downs by offering a safe space to explore your history of trauma, abuse, loss, grief, and transitions. I specialize in trauma and grief work as I have walked this path as a young widow. You've made this first step towards an abundant life - take the next step and reach out for a free consultation to make sure we're the right fit.

Mira Cymerman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
What makes therapy most successful is not necessarily the technique; it is the relationship that is shared between the clinician and client. I believe growth happens in a space where you feel seen and never judged. You are a whole person, rather than a diagnosis. The foundation of my practice is warm, collaborative care. Just a willingness to be curious together is more than enough to get started. There is never a timeline that we need to rush to meet. Our steady, collaborative process can help you to find your way back to hope, one step at a time.

Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-based therapy that emphasizes emotional safety, collaboration, and respect for each client’s values and relationships. I work with adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship stress among other issues.
I take an integrative, evidence-based approach that incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic and nervous system–informed therapy, attachment-focused work, and emotion-focused interventions. While my work is rooted in clinical research, I also recognize that not all healing can be fully explained by science alone. I remain open to the many ways the mind, body, and inner world interact, honoring intuition, meaning-making, and embodied experience as part of the therapeutic process.
I provide affirming, nonjudgmental care for clients from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent adults. Many clients seek my practice for support around relationship dynamics, intimacy concerns, and navigating relationships that may not follow traditional models. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood without needing to educate their therapist.
My goal is to help clients develop greater emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a more secure connection with themselves and others.

Hider Shaaban
Psychologist, PsyD
Whether it is trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, identity issue, acculturation & immigration, relationship problems, or anything in between that you are currently struggling with, it would be my pleasure to guide and help you through it. It may be a challenge sometimes to find a therapist who can meet your needs, which is why, in my opinion, the first and most important goal to accomplish together is a strong rapport. This will pave the way for you to have an environment that you can feel comfortable in, and for us to make progress in whichever area in your life that you need help and support with.

Asher Lipner
Psychologist, Ph.D., SRT
I believe good therapy is more than symptom management. It’s about helping people understand themselves more honestly, develop greater emotional awareness, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentic.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — anxiety, shame, compulsive behaviors, emotional disconnection, relationship struggles, or cycles of secrecy and self-criticism. Often, these struggles are not simply about “bad habits” or lack of willpower, but about deeper emotional and relational dynamics that have never been fully understood or addressed.
My style is warm, direct, thoughtful, and engaged. I aim to create a space where people can speak openly about subjects that are difficult to discuss elsewhere, without feeling judged, dismissed, or reduced to a diagnosis. I believe meaningful therapy requires both compassion and honesty: the ability to understand pain without losing sight of accountability, growth, and change.
I have particular experience helping individuals and couples struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, betrayal trauma, intimacy difficulties, anxiety, shame, and trauma-related issues. I also work extensively with clients from religious and culturally sensitive communities, where these struggles often carry additional layers of secrecy, fear, and isolation.
Therapy can help people move from surviving on autopilot toward living with greater clarity, presence, integrity, and connection — both to themselves and to the people they care about most.
