Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
High-performing executives often develop beliefs about success, failure, and responsibility that once served them well but now run automatically. Together, we identify these patterns so you can recognize them—and make choices instead of letting them make choices for you.
Defusion, a skill from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helps you observe thoughts rather than automatically believe them. Instead of letting self-critical thoughts drive your reactions, you learn to respond with greater clarity, flexibility, and confidence under pressure.
We begin with the challenge in front of you—the difficult conversation, the decision you’re avoiding, or the pressure you can’t release. Then we explore the deeper patterns those situations may activate. Understanding that connection is often where lasting change begins.
For some clients, therapy is complemented by formal psychological assessment using tools such as the PAI, Rorschach, or cognitive testing. The goal isn’t simply a report—it’s a clearer understanding that guides more effective therapy and a personalized path forward.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
I take a coaching approach to career counseling. My belief is that I am the expert on specific career development tools, and YOU are the expert on you. I defer to your expertise on you to help us discover the direction in which we will develop your career portfolio. Note: I didn't say career path. It is a rare thing that our way forward is straight or clear. Coaching offers a space to develop your skills, identify possibilities, and develop flexibility, resilience, and insight to take advantage of the right opportunity at the right time. Together we can explore your values, your strengths, your character, your growth orientation, and your definition of success to create a strategy for career growth.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Trained in vocational psychology, I have specific expertise in psychotherapy focused on the psychological dimensions of work and career. I help clients explore their interests, values, and fit; gain insight into career-related emotions, thoughts, and patterns; address burnout and work-life balance; and consider questions of meaning, identity, and fulfillment in work. I also support clients through consequential points in their working lives, including major decisions, career changes and pivots, workplace transitions, career shocks, layoffs and unemployment, and the transition to retirement. Throughout this work, we consider how career concerns connect with your mental health, relationships, values, identity, and life as a whole.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I have training in various career identity development models which allow for an exploration into certain career paths that may better fit your strengths. That being said, through the pandemic we have had a huge evolution in what a career can look like. We can use this space to see what is and what is not working in your current career path, as well as to broach the existential question around how to live out your values in work/life balance.
