Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin
As a Black, queer, transmasculine, and neurodivergent scholar-practitioner, I view therapy as an act of radical liberation rather than social compliance. Grounded in the Black radical tradition, I partner with "Deep-Sea Divers"—scholars, activists, and survivors—to move beyond traditional talk therapy and into the realm of spiritual reclamation. My approach is direct and somatic, utilizing Sandplay, Somatic Focusing, and Bibliotherapy to map your internal geography and dismantle the "head trash" of carceral systems. Whether navigating neurodivergence, TBI recovery, or the cycles of dependency, we work collaboratively to honor your lived experience without moralistic shame. I do not sit as a detached observer, but as a witness to your evolution and a partner in your resistance against a broken world. My goal is your absolute autonomy, facilitating the heavy, holy work of unmasking and rewriting your testimony. If you are seeking a sanctuary where your identity is celebrated and your liberation is the priority, I am ready to dive with you.

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Welcome! I'm a clinical psychologist with nearly a decade of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I see children, adolescents, and young adults aged 5 and up with depression, chronic PTSD and dissociation, anxiety, OCD, and ADHD. My clients present with a range of concerns, including anxiety, ruminative thoughts, shame feelings, and perfectionism. Having had extensive experience in both psychodynamic psychotherapy and Trauma Focused-CBT, I take an integrative approach when working with clients-I collaborate with you and your child to tailor your goals and address needs for treatment.
While we would tailor treatment to further draw out and address your goals, I work to help you get to know yourself-to name and regulate a range of feelings, identify negative beliefs about yourself, others, or the world, and find healthier ways to cope with strong feelings. I also consider how your past history is relevant to your present relationships.
The decision to seek therapy is such a courageous one. I think, oftentimes, we can tell ourselves that we can "think through" or "solve problems" entirely on our own-it's so difficult to reach out for support! I work at a pace that feels manageable for you or your child, focusing on creating a warm and collaborative alliance for therapy and assessment.

Dionysica Stewart
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC
What sets my therapy practice apart is the deeply personalized care I provide. I don’t believe in one size- fits all therapy I take the time to truly listen, understand your story, and create a plan that feels right for you. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are, while still feeling supported and gently challenged to grow. Because sessions are held online through a secure, HIPAA compliant platform, you can access therapy from anywhere, making it easier to stay consistent and committed to your healing. If you’re looking for a therapist who will walk alongside you not just talk at you this is the right place to start.

Monica Grey
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Sleep touches everything — your mood, your focus, your ability to handle stress. When sleep breaks down, it can feel like the rest of your life starts unraveling too. That's why I built my practice around helping people reclaim their sleep without medication. Trained at Johns Hopkins and Stanford University's SHIIP program, I bring both clinical rigor and genuine warmth to every session. My approach is collaborative and structured: we'll actively reshape the habits, thoughts, and routines working against you. Sleep problems rarely exist in isolation, so I'm also equipped to address the anxiety, stress, and overwhelm that come along for the ride. Ready to stop dreading bedtime? I'd love to help.

Stacey Hellman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
If you've tried traditional therapy in the past and didn't get the results you wanted, you've come to the right place. I am trained in non-traditional, integrative and holistic methods and I have found that "just talking" is the slowest way to do therapy. My areas of expertise are addictions, trauma, and anxiety though I have lots of clients struggling with relationship conflicts, divorce, and loss of a loved one as well. My goals are to help clients gain insight, connect with themselves authentically, heal from past traumatic experiences, and live more fully in the present moment. Reaching out for help is a sign that you want a more meaningful life and know that you deserve it. I look forward to crossing paths with you when you are ready. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit so please contact me today to get started! I offer in-person sessions primarily and only do telehealth when in-person truly isn't an option. My experience is that telehealth has not been nearly as effective as in-person sessions for the type of therapy modalities I offer. I look forward to meeting you in person so I can best support you in achieving your goals.
