Dr. Laura Testiler
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Is parenthood turning out to be a lot harder than you expected? Pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood can bring anxiety, depression, irritability, overwhelm, and relationship stress that can feel isolating and difficult to explain. I’m a licensed psychologist and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) who helps new and expecting parents navigate these challenges with warmth, understanding, and practical support.
Whether you’re struggling with persistent worry, low mood, irritability, intrusive thoughts, anger and rage, changes in your relationship, or uncertainty about who you are in this new chapter, therapy can offer a private space to slow down and make sense of what you’re experiencing.
My approach is warm and collaborative, combining evidence-based strategies with a genuine understanding of the complexities of the transition to parenthood. If you'd like to learn more, please take a moment to check out my website. You can also call or email me to schedule a free 20-minute phone or video consultation. I’d love to see if we’re a good fit!

Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
I am a firm believer that we are all capable of change. At the same time, I understand how difficult and scary change can be - even if it's what we want most. My goal is to help others build the confidence to see themselves fully and move through life based on their own inner compass.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, without judgment, while developing concrete tools to navigate challenges, build resilience, and live a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values.

James Parker
Psychologist, PhD
I view therapy as a collaborative interaction in service of understanding the best forms of quality human relating. My approach to therapy is primarily guided by Coherence Therapy. Coherence Therapy is an approach to treatment that is different from many others in that - instead of focusing on what is "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change or alter it - the purpose is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms; to curiously explore why maintaining certain patterns of thinking and behavior is emotionally necessary, even when a person is feeling stuck because of those patterns. Understanding the symptom leads to identifying the underlying emotional reasons of why we do things and addresses the cause of feeling stuck, not just the symptom, which leads to meaningful and lasting changes.

Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I’m Dr. Thomas Ballas, a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), trauma, and perfectionism. My professional background includes hospital settings, private practice, and serving as a medical officer within the U.S. Army, where I gained invaluable experience addressing diverse mental health challenges. These experiences have shaped my commitment to offering compassionate, individualized care that empowers clients to overcome obstacles and create meaningful, lasting change.
I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), tailoring each method to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll work to improve your emotional well-being, break free from unhelpful patterns, and guide you toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.
