Dr. Ann Becker-Schutte; Healthy Balanced Life Psychology, LLC
Psychologist, Ph.D.
My goal in therapy is to provide the support and compassionate challenge my clients need to face difficult episodes in their lives. I believe that most people benefit from the experience of having a caring, supportive listener to help them navigate challenging issues and painful transitions.

Dr. Rosy Saenz-Sierzega
Psychologist, PhD, MA, NBCC
Life is hard, and sometimes life gets messy. Relationships get complicated, emotions get overwhelming, and even when you know something needs to change, you may not know where to start. That's where therapy can help.
My goal is not simply to give you a place to vent (although there is certainly a time and place for that!). I want to help you understand why you're feeling the way you do, identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and figure out what you can actually do differently. Therapy should give you insight, but it should also give you tools you can use in real life- to make life easier.
I work with individuals and couples experiencing a wide range of emotional concerns, including anxiety, depression, anger, grief, fear, jealousy, negativity, and feeling overwhelmed or confused. I also have extensive experience working with compulsive and addictive behaviors, including sex and love addiction, codependency, and impulsive behaviors.
Relationships are another major area of my practice. I help people work through conflict, communication problems, infidelity, broken trust, intimacy concerns, breakups, and relationship recovery. I also offer premarital and pre-divorce counseling for couples who want to make thoughtful decisions about their future rather than simply react to what's happening in the moment.
I also work with families who have reached an impasse—situations where communication has broken down, hurt and resentment have accumulated, or family members simply cannot seem to agree on how to move forward. Sometimes everyone involved has a different version of what happened, and everyone feels justified in their position. My role is not to decide who is right or wrong, but to help family members communicate more effectively, understand one another's perspectives, establish healthier boundaries, and determine whether there is a path forward. When families have been stuck for a long time, even finding a way to have a productive conversation can be meaningful progress.
I work with social and personal issues as well, including assertiveness, self-esteem, external validation, peer pressure, bullying, communication, forgiveness, and other challenges that can make it difficult to feel confident and comfortable in your own life.
My approach is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy. In practical terms, that means we'll look at the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while focusing on what can be changed moving forward. I don't believe you need to spend years analyzing every detail of your past in order to make meaningful progress. Understanding where your patterns came from can be helpful, but learning how to change them is what ultimately creates a different future.
Therapy isn't about being perfect, and it's definitely not about pretending that problems don't exist. We all make mistakes, get stuck in unhealthy patterns, and occasionally make choices we wish we could take back. The important part is what you do next.
My job is to help you move from feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain toward greater clarity, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of control over your life. You don't have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. That's part of what we're here to figure out together.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Hi! I am a clinical psychologist (PhD) trained at Penn State and the University of Pennsylvania. Though I treat a number of conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma), I have a great deal of experience helping people with personality disorders, sleep disorders, rare/unusual psychological conditions, and clinical problems which have been formerly resistant to treatment. Along with my practice, I stay active in the field through research, publications (i.e., books and articles), and other professional work. I particularly enjoy living lectures for popular science organizations in the US and abroad. Please visit my website (linked below) for more information.

Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and refreshingly human. I bring extensive experience in relationships, sexuality, trauma, and neurodivergence, along with a genuine curiosity about what makes each person tick. You won’t find judgment, canned advice, or a one-size-fits-all approach here. Instead, we’ll make sense of the patterns that keep showing up, explore what’s underneath them, and find strategies that actually fit your life. If you’re looking for a therapist who can handle complicated conversations, appreciate nuance, and help you create meaningful change while still being a real person in the room, we may be a great fit.
