Ailyn Payan, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Hey there. My name is Dr. Payan and I am happy to speak with you to better understand your unique needs before embarking in the therapeutic journey. I specialize in various mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavior problems, and autism, and have offered services to children, adolescents, and adults both in-person and online. Being a mother myself, I understand first-hand the challenges of motherhood and the accompanying overwhelming feelings that many experience. Throughout the years, I have helped parents improve their relationships and communication with their children to foster a closer and stronger relationship. I invite you to call or email me so we may discuss how I can best help you.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst
My name is Sam, and I'm a psychoanalytic therapist who is passionate about helping adults and teens navigate life's complexities. Whether you're an adult seeking deeper understanding of yourself or a young person embarking on your journey, I offer a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth.
My approach is rooted in psychoanalysis and depth psychology, which delves into the unconscious mind. We'll work together to uncover patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may be shaping your current challenges. This can include chronic behaviors, relationship difficulties, or simply a feeling of being stuck.
The therapeutic process can be quirky and surprising, just like life itself! I believe in fostering a collaborative environment where humor and curiosity can be powerful tools for self-discovery. But at its core, my practice is built on empathy and a genuine desire to see you thrive.
