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.

Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I’m a licensed therapist who believes healing happens through connection, compassion, and honoring each person’s unique story. I specialize in reproductive mental health, including experiences of abortion, pregnancy loss, infertility, parenthood, and choosing to be childfree. My approach is feminist, relational, and deeply affirming of queer, neurodivergent, and diverse family experiences. Together, we create a safe space where you can explore your feelings, reclaim your voice, and build resilience at your own pace. I’m here to support you with empathy, respect, and a commitment to your whole well-being.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
In searching for a therapist, you are taking the first step in what could be the most important journey of your life. It is definitely possible to make important, lasting improvements in your life and levels of happiness, satisfaction, and success. Therapy is often an effective way to attain these goals. With almost 40 years of experience working as a counselor and then a psychologist, I am well-qualified to help you identify what is standing in the way of increased life satisfaction, and help you effectively work towards your goals. People often get stuck in old patterns that make them unhappy, want to change them, but don't know how. I work together with my clients to understand how old patterns in thought, feeling, and behavior got established, and then explore how best to change those patterns. I enjoy doing longer term, deeper work with clients, to create significant, meaningful, and lasting change. I often employ a holistic approach, exploring personal history, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship history and issues, as well as issues including medical history, self-care habits, and experiences of spirituality. I view the therapy relationship as a partnership, respecting the pace and timing that the client requires.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I believe therapy works best when it feels human, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your lived experience. I offer online therapy grounded in trauma-informed, systemic, and strengths-based care, with a strong commitment to affirming queer, polyamorous, and non-traditional relationship structures.
My approach centers safety, curiosity, and consent—both in the therapeutic relationship and in the pace of our work. I work with individuals and relationships navigating trauma, identity exploration, relational stress, and the impacts of burnout or chronic overwhelm. I also have a particular appreciation for working with helpers and clinicians, especially those carrying the weight of caring for others while trying to care for themselves.
In our work together, I aim to create a space where you don’t have to perform, explain, or justify who you are. Therapy with me is about building insight, strengthening resilience, and reconnecting with parts of yourself that may have been shaped by survival but are ready for something more sustainable and compassionate.
