Marina Goldenberg
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC
My approach is informed by various modalities, including CBT, REBT and dynamic theories, and I incorporate elements of mindfulness, values and meaning to guide my work with each client. Everyone has unique priorities, strengths, needs and preferences, and when we work from an approach that honors those parts of you, we see the biggest change in well-being and quality of life. I'm warm, funny (sometimes we'll laugh together and sometimes you'll laugh at me, either way, if you're able to laugh it can help make the hard work of therapy a little easier), and my number one goal is to foster safety and security and approach each person's unique experience and struggle from a place of curiosity and non-judgment. One of the hardest things about modern life is that we have more means of connection today than ever before, yet we feel more disconnected. My hope is to help you foster that sense of connection, in the therapy room, with your significant people, and most importantly, yourself. Sometimes, you need someone to listen to and reflect what you're going through, sometimes you need someone to give you strategies to problem solve or cope, and sometimes you need someone to call you out when you're standing in your own way, and that's how I approach therapy.

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 39 years
FREE INTRO - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine.
Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by.
EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”…..
I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects.
“Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”

Kelly Trawczynski, LMSW
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMSW, LCSW
You don't have to stay stuck in cycles of fear, shame, or disconnection. Therapy can be the bridge between surviving and truly living. I specialize in helping adults untangle complex layers of trauma, spirituality, and sexuality so they can reconnect to their truest selves. Whether you’re healing from a traumatic event, exploring your sexuality, working through sexual shame, or soothing a wounded inner child, you are welcome here.
With over eleven years of experience, I draw from specialized training in EMDR, trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), somatic (mind-body) therapy, sex therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and DBT. Together, we’ll address both the emotional and physical imprints of trauma — building skills to calm anxiety, reclaim safety in your body, and rebuild trust in yourself.

Laura Brennan, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Relationships influence us in both helpful and less helpful ways. I believe our experiences in our families, partnerships, environment, and culture shape our expectations of the world and how we behave in it. Psychotherapy offers an opportunity to understand our own patterns, relate to thoughts and emotions in new ways, and to act in ways that align more with the person we hope to be. As a psychologist, I believe my work is to help clients use these skills to build a more meaningful life. I look forward to learning about how you would like to grow or make change in your own life.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Clients work best with someone they trust and feel comfortable with. One of the most consistent pieces of feedback I get is how easy it is to talk with me and they appreciate that I'm "real". I believe that a pinch of empathy and a dash of compassion makes the perfect recipe to provide you an accurate reflection needed to do meaningful therapy work.

Emily M Bradley, Psychotherapist
Art Therapist, LCAT
I specialize in helping people who always put themselves last, get better at prioritizing themselves. Do you keep it together on the outside while suffering with anxiety or depression on the inside? Do you put all your energy into making other people feel comfortable but can’t remember the last time you felt calm or happy? People pleasing, hyper-independence, overachieving, and conflict avoidance are really common survival strategies for people who had difficult childhood experiences. If this sounds like you, you probably already know that suppressing your own needs and desires can negatively impact your relationships, physical health, and emotional wellbeing. Maybe you’re beginning to realize this isn’t working for you anymore, and you’re longing to unearth a more authentic version of yourself. You might feel scared or think it’s impossible, but you don’t have to do it alone! I can help you explore the root causes through family dynamics, traumatic experiences, attachment, and identity, to discover and take better care of your true self.
I have over 20 years of experience treating adults who are struggling with overwhelming emotions, life transitions, and difficult past experiences. My approach is warm, gentle, and trauma-informed. I’ll collaborate with you to integrate an insight-oriented framework with a variety of innovative holistic tools and engaging creative practices, based on your needs and strengths. Together, we’ll build a toolbox that you can start to use right away, while also cultivating insights for long term healing and growth. You’ll be in the driver’s seat, so you feel safe and empowered, so you can really own the work you do on your healing journey.

Jenna Sackman - Online/Virtual Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I specialize in working with individuals (children, teens and adults) and couples, and I am incredibly passionate about the work I do and the people with whom I have the honor to work. My areas of expertise are anxiety / stress, relationship challenges, conflict resolution, intrusive negative thoughts and patterns, loss/grief and depression.
Most clients and couples choose to work with me because they are looking for nontraditional therapy that provides them with concrete skills to improve their everyday lives and/or address specific concerns. Holistic and integrative in my approach, I believe that there is no "one size fits all" in therapy. Therefore, I uniquely tailor therapy sessions to meet each client's needs and goals. With extensive experience and training in results oriented and solutions focused cognitive therapies, positive psychology, mindfulness, Buddhist Psychology, Gottman Method for Couples, meditation, and yoga, I offer creative approaches that result in meaningful change and growth.
Above all, I am committed to creating therapeutic relationships that are built on trust, respect, transparency, empathy, honesty, and equality, and I always counsel from a nonjudgmental place of understanding and compassion.
I am happy to offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to see how I can best support you! Why wait tomorrow when you can start today? Please reach out to schedule your free consultation on my calendar: https://calendly.com/jenna-sackman/phone-consultation

Alyssa Steinway
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As multi-dimensional beings, it can often be difficult to find spaces where all aspects of our identities are truly seen, understood, and embraced. In our quest for belonging, we may disconnect from certain parts of ourselves, which can lead to feelings of isolation or unfulfillment. My goal is to create a space where individuals are invited to reconnect with every layer of their being—even those parts that may feel “too much” for the world around them.
I believe that behavior is learned and often arises as a function of survival. From this perspective, individuals can tap into their innate resiliency and explore their most authentic selves, discovering what they are truly seeking from therapy. I value the importance of being present in the "here and now," as research has shown that trauma is often stored in the body, and emotions serve as the vehicles through which the body seeks to restore balance after trauma.
As a therapist, my role is to establish a positive, supportive environment—a safe and nonjudgmental space where we can explore the emotional and relational experiences that have caused ongoing pain and suffering. This deep process offers insight into the internalized messages and experiences that shape a client's narrative of the world, while also providing a healing relational experience that the client can internalize as part of their transformation.
