Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Brett Swords
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Is anxiety getting in the way of what is important to you in life—perhaps it prevents you from meeting new people or being able to enjoy yourself in social settings? Are you having difficulty with finding relationships that fit your needs, getting into frequent conflict with your partner, or expressing your emotions? Maybe you are even struggling to understand yourself? As a result, you may be feeling overwhelmed, lost, stuck, unfulfilled, or inadequate. If so, then I can help: I specialize in working with people who are not getting what they want or need out of relationships (including their relationship with themselves). Together, within a supportive environment, we will help you learn new skills to reduce anxiety and other overwhelming emotions, build better relationships (including by better understanding and expressing your emotions and needs), change the self-critical inner voice that is keeping you down, and help you find meaning and direction in life.

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.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
I have been a psychologist in trauma work for many years, thus I can tailor my approach to meet your needs. Different ages and developmental stages throughout the life span require differing approaches. People generally wait to start therapy until their symptoms are really bothersome. I am currently accepting new patients, with no waiting list.
