Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Some things are hard to say out loud. Maybe you've never quite found the words, or the right person to say them to. Maybe you've been carrying questions about your body, your desire, your relationship, or who you are, quietly and for a long time.
You don't have to do that here.
I'm Paula Kirsch, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, and I work with women navigating sexual health concerns, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, and people in ENM and kink-engaged relationships. Not as a specialty I added on, but as the heart of my practice. I understand your world, your language, and the particular weight of the things you may have never said to anyone.
Whatever you bring into this space, I'm not going to flinch, rush you, or hand you a formula. We'll sit with it together and figure out where to go from there. That's the work, and I genuinely love doing it. Book your Free Consultation on my website.

Ann Abbey
Limited License Psychologist, MA, LLP, RYT
Do you ever lie awake replaying conversations, wondering if you said the wrong thing, or wishing you could take care of everyone without feeling so depleted? Maybe you move through your days on autopilot—doing everything you’re “supposed” to do—yet still feeling a quiet ache inside. You want to slow down, feel more present, and experience real moments of connection and joy. But no matter how hard you try, something still feels off. You just want to know that you’re going to be okay.
Together, we’ll gently explore what’s keeping you up at night and what patterns aren’t serving you anymore. You’ll have a warm, grounded space to bring your worries, your exhaustion, your questions, and the parts of yourself you’ve kept hidden. I’ll meet you there—with care, honesty, and the kind of support that lets you show up exactly as you are, without performing or pleasing.
In our work, you’ll begin to reconnect with your inner steadiness, soften the fear and self-doubt that keep you stuck, strengthen the relationships that matter, and make room for more ease, clarity, and joy.
Sessions are available by video or phone, making it simple to get the support you need. If this resonates, I’d love to talk. You can reach out through my website or give me a call; I look forward to connecting.

Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
I work with adults who feel worn down by trauma, spiritual or religious harm, and identity-related stress. Many clients arrive feeling “functional” but internally stuck in fear, shutdown, shame, or exhaustion. My office is a place to bring the real story without needing to minimize it.
I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who blends psychotherapy with careful, collaborative medication support when useful. Sessions often include parts work informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR principles, with practical skills from ACT to help you move toward values, not just symptom control. I welcome LGBTQ+ clients and people recovering from SOGICE experiences with special care and respect. We move at your pace and build change meant to last.

Allay Wellness Center
Psychologist, MS, LLP
At Allay Wellness Center, we specialize in helping children, teens, and adults overcome anxiety and OCD so they can move toward a fuller, more meaningful life. Our practice focuses on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders.
We know how overwhelming anxiety and intrusive thoughts can feel—not just for the person experiencing them, but for the whole family.

We help clients understand how anxiety works in the brain, identify the patterns that keep it going, and gradually face fears in a safe and supportive way so confidence and resilience can grow.
Many people come to us after struggling for years without clear answers. Our clinicians have specialized training in OCD and anxiety treatment and are passionate about providing care that is both effective and approachable. We offer a focused treatment program designed to create meaningful progress while also collaborating with other therapists and providers when ongoing support is helpful.
