Psychodynamic
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.

Evolve Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PsyD
When we are struggling with our mental health, we often struggle in silence. This can be isolating and disconnect us from others. It can be really hard to seek support from people in our life and professionals because we feel anxiety, shame, or fear judgment, invalidation or rejection. Therapy provides the opportunity to step into your vulnerability at a pace that feels safe for you. Unlike other relationships, a therapeutic relationship is rooted in nonjudgment, unconditional acceptance, safety and confidentiality. I prioritize creating a safe space for you to feel heard and supported. I value your vulnerability and individuality. There is no one size fits all approach to therapy making every therapeutic experience uniquely different. My goal is to walk alongside you, explore what you are going through, and help you develop effective tools/insight so that you can live a full, authentic life.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, a trauma survivor, and someone with a chronic pain disorder; I approach the work that I do from a place of empathy and personal understanding. I have an intense passion for understanding personal identity and the way race, culture, class, and sexuality come together to form what we believe about ourselves and what we feel we can accomplish in our lives. Anxiety and trauma can live in our bodies - together we will create a relationship that fosters dynamic and lasting growth, tapping into undiscovered reserves of resiliency that will help navigate the past and prepare for a more hopeful future.
