Nadira Jackson - TherapyWithDira
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As a Black female Licensed Mental Health Clinician with nearly five years of experience, I hold deep respect for the ways culture, identity, and intergenerational experiences shape us. I bring curiosity, compassion, and cultural awareness to our work. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, self-worth, trauma, or life transitions—this is a space where your whole self is welcome.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—it’s about coming home to yourself. And from that place, building deeper, more meaningful connections in every area of your life.

Wayne Ayers
Psychologist, PhD
Psychotherapy can be challenging, but it is a rewarding process. Most people come in to discuss the problems in their lives. They often forget about what is going well, and what are their natural talents and abilities. I train and supervise psychologists at area hospitals. Because of this I am sensitive to ethical concerns: honesty, integrity and practicality. I strive to create a very kind and safe atmosphere where personal exploration is possible. Psychotherapy should be collaborative. I am active and vocal and give my clients ongoing feedback, inquiry and support.

Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Our relationships—with partners, family, friends, and ourselves—shape so much of how we move through the world. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, trauma, identity concerns, parenting, self-esteem, and life transitions. My approach is warm, relational, and insight-oriented, helping clients better understand longstanding patterns, deepen self-awareness, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have particular expertise in perinatal mental health, cultural identity and immigration, attachment, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP).

Farzana Rahman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D
Having worked for a decade, I have supported clients through the nuanced and demanding areas of interpersonal stress, major life transitions, identity exploration, and the long-lasting impact of early adverse childhood experiences. I hold particular care and awareness towards the cultural, relational, and systemic forces that shape a person’s sense of self. I feel especially attuned to how family histories and early attachments influence adult relationships, therefore, I often invite clients to explore identity, unlearn old narratives, and build relationships that feel grounded and authentic. My unique, yet collective experiences as a child of immigrant parents and a South Asian woman allow me to recognize how family expectations, cultural identity, gender identity, and other parts of ourselves are important in the therapy work.

Jon Prezant
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW, MA, CST — Sex & Couples Therapist
Maybe desire has gone quiet, or sex has started to feel like a test you keep failing. Maybe you’re trying to recover from a betrayal, or your sexual behavior feels out of your control. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same fight. Sexual and relationship struggles are rarely just about sex, or just about the relationship. They’re tangled up in history, body, culture, and the expectations we’ve absorbed about who we’re supposed to be.
I’m an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist and LCSW, and I work online with adults and couples. Much of my work is with men (gay, straight, and everywhere in between) and with couples, including gay, queer, and mixed-orientation couples. I also have a deep commitment to Jewish clients, especially gay and queer Jews who have felt isolated or pushed out of community by antisemitism.
I’m direct, warm, and honest. I won’t hand you a script. Therapy with me is a place to build the capacity your life and relationships actually need, so you can be more honest with yourself, more flexible with each other, and less ruled by shame.

City Mental Health Counseling
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As a licensed therapist and passionate advocate for mental health equity, I founded CMHC with a clear mission: to create an affirming, inclusive, and culturally diverse space where LGBTQ+ individuals and people from all backgrounds can feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My journey into therapy was shaped by both personal experience and a professional calling—recognizing the deep need for compassionate, identity-affirming care in communities that have too often been marginalized or overlooked.
