Dr. Sarah Pouliot
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Psychotherapy is most effective when two people (therapist and client) work together to develop a type of therapeutic relationship that not only seeks to make sense of unfolding dynamics but also provides a safe place from which to explore both the known and unknown. In other words, psychotherapy or counseling should offer a meaningful experience, offering new ways of being, relating, and experiencing. Lasting change becomes possible when we are able to find and apply new ways of thinking and feeling about ourselves and others - new ways of relating or responding to the world in which we live and engage.

Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Therapy can offer a space to better understand yourself and the experiences that have shaped you. I help adults make sense of trauma, neurodivergence, burnout, identity, and life transitions by understanding their experiences within the context of their relationships, environments, and the systems they have navigated. Together, we'll build practical skills, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change in a compassionate, collaborative space.

Tonya Wells
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW - Clinical
Welcome. It’s great you are attending to your needs by seeking therapeutic support. I am a therapist who will customize my approach to you. I create meaningful connections with my clients. In their own words, “Tonya gets me, and I leave sessions feeling relieved and motivated. She helps me see my humanity.” They describe feeling safe and accepted in therapy. Commonly, folks/couples seek therapy when navigating transitions such as loss, breakup/divorce, shifting parenting roles, or gender identity/sexual orientation alignment. Many seek therapy to address trauma, anxiety, and depression. Therapy would begin with us getting clear on your needs, and then setting achievable goals together.

Dr. Vanessa Vitiello
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Choosing a therapist, especially during pregnancy or postpartum, can feel like a vulnerable and important decision. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to show up as you are. I specialize in working with women navigating anxiety, feelings of overwhelm, and perfectionism during pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood. Many of my clients are used to holding it all together, yet feel anxious, stretched thin, or disconnected during this transition. This can be completely disorienting, leaving you feeling like it is hard to ask for support.
My approach is integrative and holistic, combining evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and mind–body practices. With my background as a psychologist and training as a yoga teacher, I help clients not only gain insight, but also feel more regulated and capable.
I offer a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where we can make sense of your experience and develop tools that feel realistic and sustainable. Therapy with me is about creating space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with a clearer sense of what they need and how to care for themselves

Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
I provide my clients a "toolbox" of skills they can use both now and in the future. I was fortunate to have trained directly with Dr. Albert Ellis, the developer of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Dr. Francine Shapiro, originator of EMDR plus numerous and hypnosis trainings with many of the top hypnotherapists in the field.
