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.

Anna Raport
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT/Sex Therapist
Helping individuals and couples create the intimacy they crave and desire.
I am passionate about helping people uncover and explore their sexy side! I enjoy assisting individuals and couples in developing and recreating their most vulnerable connections in life. My passion lies within creating healthy and positive connections with sexuality and your body. Growing up in a sex negative culture can be difficult. I definitely get it and have struggled myself with negative views of sexuality in the past. I understand how hard it can be to let go of the negative standards and embrace passion, pleasure and sexuality. I can help transform and enhance your sexual life and then you will begin to lead a pleasure filled satisfying sex life.

Marina Goldenberg
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC
Becoming a parent—or hoping to become one—can bring unexpected stress, grief, anxiety, and relationship strain. I support women, new mothers, and their partners navigating fertility struggles, loss, postpartum mood and anxiety challenges, and major life transitions. I also work with young adults in school and early career. My work is grounded in empathy and compassion, creating a nonjudgmental space where individuals and couples can feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward together.

Terri DiMatteo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
I'm Terri DiMatteo, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in New Jersey, and for more than a decade I've been helping individuals and couples navigate the most painful and disorienting chapters of their relationships. The people who find their way to my practice are often in one of three places.
Some are surviving betrayal. The affair has been discovered — or confessed — and now every assumption about the relationship, the future, and even the past feels uncertain. The grief is enormous. The questions are relentless. And the idea of trusting again feels almost impossible to imagine. These clients come to me exhausted, heartbroken, and quietly hoping that what they had can somehow be rebuilt.
Others are living with a love that has gone quiet. There's no dramatic crisis — just a slow, creeping distance that has turned a once-close partnership into something that feels more like a business arrangement. They still care about each other. They may even love each other. But they can't remember the last time they felt truly seen, desired, or emotionally safe with the person they chose. They come to me wondering whether what they have can be restored — or whether they've simply waited too long.
And some are in the process of naming something they've suspected for a long time: that the relationship they're in isn't just difficult — it's harmful. They're untangling themselves from a partner, parent, or family member whose behavior has left them questioning their own perception, their own worth, and their own reality. They come to me disoriented, depleted, and ready — finally — to start finding their way back to themselves.
If you recognized yourself in any of those descriptions, I want you to know something important: you are not overreacting, and you are not alone.

Ren Lee
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We live within various systems and institutions that impact how we navigate our lives in relation to each other. My work is grounded in community care, growth, liberation, joy, resilience, healing, and justice. I am here to support you in exploring connections to yourself, your communities, and the world around you. My approach is rooted in liberation, relational, and psychodynamic work through an anti-oppressive lens, and includes modalities such as somatics, narrative therapy, and mindfulness. I am passionate about working with intersectional identities of race, gender, sexuality, and neurodivergence and I find it incredibly fulfilling to continuously build relationships through empathy, curiosity, and compassion.
