Asher Lipner
Psychologist, Ph.D., SRT
I believe good therapy is more than symptom management. It’s about helping people understand themselves more honestly, develop greater emotional awareness, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentic.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — anxiety, shame, compulsive behaviors, emotional disconnection, relationship struggles, or cycles of secrecy and self-criticism. Often, these struggles are not simply about “bad habits” or lack of willpower, but about deeper emotional and relational dynamics that have never been fully understood or addressed.
My style is warm, direct, thoughtful, and engaged. I aim to create a space where people can speak openly about subjects that are difficult to discuss elsewhere, without feeling judged, dismissed, or reduced to a diagnosis. I believe meaningful therapy requires both compassion and honesty: the ability to understand pain without losing sight of accountability, growth, and change.
I have particular experience helping individuals and couples struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, betrayal trauma, intimacy difficulties, anxiety, shame, and trauma-related issues. I also work extensively with clients from religious and culturally sensitive communities, where these struggles often carry additional layers of secrecy, fear, and isolation.
Therapy can help people move from surviving on autopilot toward living with greater clarity, presence, integrity, and connection — both to themselves and to the people they care about most.

Susan Estomin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
There are times in our lives when we all need help recognizing and understanding what life is trying to tell us, when we are faced with challenges, crises and conflicts that create stress and anxiety, and even sometimes make us feel like we are losing our minds.

Psychodynamic
Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
My practice is grounded in one central idea: that family, in all of its forms, deserves to be understood, supported, and thoughtfully nurtured. I have the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families at some of the most meaningful—and often most vulnerable—moments in their lives. Whether someone is building a family, navigating challenges within one, or redefining what family means to them, my goal is always to create a space that feels both safe and genuinely supportive.
A significant part of my work focuses on family building, including comprehensive evaluations for adoption, assisted reproduction, and other non-traditional pathways to parenthood. I have extensive experience working with adoptive parents, intended parents, and families formed through surrogacy, donation, and other modern family-building processes. These evaluations are not just procedural—they are an opportunity to reflect, prepare, and enter parenthood with clarity and confidence.
In addition to evaluation work, I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families. I approach this work with warmth, directness, and deep respect for each person’s experience. Whether addressing relationship strain, life transitions, trauma, or the complexities of parenting, I aim to help people better understand themselves and each other, and to move forward with intention.
I have a particular passion for working with non-traditional families—those whose paths may fall outside of conventional expectations but are no less meaningful or deserving of support. My practice is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in the belief that there is no single “right” way to build or be a family.
Above all, I strive to offer a space where people feel seen, understood, and guided—not judged. This is deeply personal work, and I consider it an honor to be part of my clients’ journeys.

Dr. Katy Crone
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
My approach to therapy is collaborative and is aimed at helping you develop long-lasting health (both as an individual and in your relationships). I'll help you address individual concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, panic, sleep issues, job fulfillment, and family stress. Initial sessions will involve a thorough intake so I can be sure I understand the breadth of your background and current problems. I will help you construct individualized goals for therapy, and we will agree on how to best work together. I utilize a variety of approaches and techniques including psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapies.
People struggling with emotional or relational problems have often had painful experiences with others. Therapy offers a safe place to revisit these experiences and break patterns that cause you sadness, fear, or anger. Therapy can help you solve problems in relationships and all types of life transitions, while remaining true to yourself.
