Ailyn Payan, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Hey there. My name is Dr. Payan and I am happy to speak with you to better understand your unique needs before embarking in the therapeutic journey. I specialize in various mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavior problems, and autism, and have offered services to children, adolescents, and adults both in-person and online. Being a mother myself, I understand first-hand the challenges of motherhood and the accompanying overwhelming feelings that many experience. Throughout the years, I have helped parents improve their relationships and communication with their children to foster a closer and stronger relationship. I invite you to call or email me so we may discuss how I can best help you.

Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
I love helping my clients address issues with sleep, anxiety, mood, and past traumatic experiences. For me, helping others as a psychologist is a true passion. When appropriate, I use evidence-based therapy, which has clinical research supporting its effectiveness. I routinely offer couples and grief counseling. I've been told by my clients that I clearly take my job seriously and prepare well for sessions, always eager to bring them the relief that they're seeking in a thoughtful and targeted way. I don't stretch treatment out any longer than needed. As far as my unique characteristics as a therapist, I believe that humor plays an important role in treatment, and that therapists who are willing to be self-disclosing and genuine develop stronger, more meaningful connections with their clients. I see therapy as a very personal process -- far more so than other types of health visits -- and that forming a real relationship is a key component of mental health treatment. I find that one definite benefit of such a relationship is that I'm able to offer my clients truthful, direct feedback, as they always know that any challenging remarks are coming from a caring and compassionate place. Along these lines, I belief that it's a therapist's job to routinely encourage their clients to push beyond their comfort zones and make bold changes.

You’ve taken a critical first step toward starting to feel better: you are exploring your options for therapy. For this, you should give yourself a pat on the back—starting the process of reaching out for help is never easy. The next step is finding the right therapist for you. I specialize in working with people who are not getting what they want or need out of relationships (including their relationship with themselves). Many of my clients describe being hard on themselves, having difficulty forming relationships, or not feeling fulfilled by their relationships. Whatever it is that is getting in the way for you, I can help! We will work together to explore problematic patterns in your life (especially in relationships), address negative self-talk that is keeping you down, determine how to start making the changes that you have been wanting, and help you live a life with purpose and meaning. If you are ready to start working on making changes and feeling better, let’s talk! To schedule a free 15-minute consultation, you can contact me via phone, send me a message, or head to my website where you can schedule your consultation now. I will get back to you very quickly.
