Michael Nakhla
Psychiatrist, MD
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and psychotherapist. I serve in leadership and teaching roles at NYU, where I teach the next generation of psychiatrists and work at the intersection of college mental health and academic medicine. My practice focuses on high-achieving professionals and students navigating mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, perfectionism, and identity development. I created my private practice space, The Light Room, to be decidedly different from traditional psychiatric practices — care that's evidence-based yet deeply human, personalized, accessible, and responsive.
I specialize in integrating psychotherapy with medication management to offer a truly comprehensive treatment approach.

Peter Klein
Therapist, BABCP Accredited, BACP Registered Member
I am a fully accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (BABCP) based in Richmond, London, offering both face-to-face and online therapy. I have over 13 years of experience helping people overcome difficulties including anxiety, OCD, stress, low self-esteem, perfectionism and depression.
My approach is tailored to each individual. I believe therapy works best when we develop a clear understanding of your difficulties together and create a practical plan for meaningful change. I use evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), including the UCL Case Formulation Model, alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy and Schema Therapy.
I previously worked as a CBT therapist at the world famous Priory Hospital in Roehampton, where I created and delivered psychological treatment programmes, and I have been working in private practice since 2012.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, dealing with self-criticism or wanting to develop greater confidence and resilience, therapy can help you understand yourself and create lasting change.
I offer confidential online therapy sessions and therapy in Richmond, London.

Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
What makes my practice unique is the way I integrate evidence-based care with a deeply collaborative, person-centered approach. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel safe enough to be fully themselves, understood without judgment, and supported in a way that honors their autonomy, values, and lived experience.
I work from a place of curiosity, respect, and cultural sensitivity. I always meeting clients where they are and moving at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor therapy using various modalities to fit each person’s needs, goals, and emotional experiences.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to navigate what they are going through. My role is not to “fix” you, but to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and your emotional world so that you can begin responding to life with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
I also prioritize accessibility and convenience by offering fully virtual therapy, allowing you to access care from the comfort and privacy of your own space. With flexible scheduling, therapy can be integrated into your life in a way that feels realistic and supportive rather than overwhelming.
If you are looking for a therapeutic space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin creating meaningful change that aligns with who you are and what matters to you, I would be honored to work with you.
