Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
Often, perfectionistic and high-striving individuals are both curious about therapy and ambivalent about seeking it. They may feel excited by the possibility of understanding themselves more deeply, while also unsettled by the idea of asking for help with one’s own mind. For people who are used to being competent, self-reliant, and in control, therapy can feel exposing at first.
Michael helps clients understand this hesitation not as resistance, but as part of the work itself: the wish to grow alongside the fear of needing anything at all. Many clients become more comfortable once they see that therapy is not simply about “talking about feelings,” but about learning to observe the mind with more honesty and precision.
Therapy becomes a disciplined space for reflection, which itself can be a powerful tool for developing emotional clarity, self-awareness, and greater freedom in how one responds to pressure, relationships, and oneself. Michael is also attentive to the ways thoughtful, high-striving people can use insight, analysis, mindfulness, or even spiritual ideas to move around painful emotional material rather than through it. When this pattern is noticed early, it can be addressed directly and compassionately, helping therapy remain grounded, emotionally honest, and clinically useful.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I specialize in working with clients from the ages of 14 to adulthood, who are inquisitive, self-aware, and deeply motivated to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, move into a place of self-respect/love, and develop adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and problem-solving. I have worked for many years with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with trauma and change and searching for authenticity, often in a world that values the superficial. Therapy is a process of seeking meaning, managing change, letting go of what no longer makes sense for who we are and what we want, healing, and growing.
I am most suited to help clients dealing with loss, prior childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity (in all its manifestations), divorce, self-esteem, grief, and emotional regulation. The goals are different for everyone, yet I believe that we all want to feel more balanced, more joyful, and more healthfully connected with others.
As a psychologist with 25 years of post-doctoral experience, I’ve been exposed to various modalities, settings, and clients dealing with differing issues, life changes, and developmental expectations. I’ve also found that my professional practice has evolved as I’ve matured, raised children, and survived losses and challenges. We are in this together.

Aiki Relationship Institute
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
My passion is to help people create and maintain the best possible relationships they can in their lives. Most of that focus is on intimate relationships. Earlier in my career, I worked primarily with families around child-centered problems, and I ran the child and adolescent treatment team at a community mental health center for about fifteen years. Since I went into full-time private practice in 2006, I have shifted more and more toward working with couples, and my practice is now 70 to 80 per cent couples. I tend to be active but personal. I push couples pretty hard, but also offer a lot of support.

Mid-Atlantic Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I'm Dr. Shepherd, a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist with over 16 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and strengths-based. I believe meaningful change comes from developing insight, learning effective strategies, and building on personal strengths. I strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel understood, encouraged, and appropriately challenged. And I believe a little humor can go a long way.

Kasey Scharnett King
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S, CST
You may find yourself having the same conversations over and over, feeling misunderstood, or noticing distance where there used to be connection. Maybe communication turns into conflict, or things go quiet and unresolved. Intimacy may feel strained, inconsistent, or absent altogether. You care about the relationship, but something isn’t working—and you’re not sure how to change it.
This is a space grounded in intention, honesty, and meaningful connection. You can speak openly here, be challenged with clarity, and begin developing the skills needed to create lasting change in your relationships.
We understand that talking about relationship and intimacy concerns can feel vulnerable. You don’t have to navigate that alone. Our role is to meet you with respect, professionalism, and directness—guiding the conversations that are often difficult to have, but necessary for growth.
You can expect a calm, steady presence and an approach that balances emotional insight with practical tools. This is not about perfection. It is about taking responsibility, increasing awareness, and learning how to show up differently—for yourself and within your relationships.
