Matt McDavid
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life often asks us to carry more than we should—self-doubt, overwhelming emotions, and the weight of expectations that feel impossible to meet. Maybe you’ve been told who you should be for so long that the person you are feels hidden. Therapy offers a space to let go of what no longer serves you and step into the life you’ve always deserved!
I’m Matt McDavid, and I specialize in helping insightful, creative individuals who are ready to transform their inner world. Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating life’s challenges, or seeking clarity, I provide a safe and supportive space to explore your story, reconnect with your authentic self, and build a life that feels meaningful and aligned with who you are.
My approach is anything but one-size-fits-all. I believe therapy should feel as unique as you are—creative, collaborative, and rooted in trust. Together, we’ll peel back the layers of self-doubt and conditioned beliefs that have obscured your light. You’ll discover the strength, resilience, and self-compassion that have been within you all along.
Using trauma-informed care and a strength-based perspective, I’ll guide you to release the stories that no longer define you and embrace the truth that you’ve always been enough. Through proven techniques like Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, we’ll uncover tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience.
Therapy with me isn’t just about symptom relief—it’s about transformation. My clients often share that our work has redefined their expectations of therapy, helping them feel truly seen and empowered in ways they never thought possible. They describe rediscovering their inner strength, letting go of what isn’t authentic, and stepping into lives filled with purpose, connection, and joy.
I know taking this step can feel intimidating. But by being here, you’ve already shown incredible courage. You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s take the next step together—toward healing, toward clarity, and toward the life you were always meant to live.
Your story isn’t finished. Let’s write the next chapter together.

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.

Reshma Rampersad

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.

Anna Stephenson
Therapist, MA, CCLS, RDT, LCAT
I’m really glad you’re here. I work with teens and adults to help them to live playfully, even when things feel like A LOT. My clients struggle like you and I do because life can just REALLY suck sometimes. Our entire world view, the way we see ourselves and respond to others can profoundly change after a traumatic event or even a milestone. As we shield ourselves from the discomfort, trauma can cause the parts of ourselves that are open to new experiences, ideas, our memories, and our even our bodies to close off. Therapy works to help reconnect us to those distant parts of ourselves, reinstating access to the full range of our potential and reigniting joy. I like to think of therapy like you’ve invited me over to your metaphorical home. What are your “house rules”? How many rooms are there and what’s in them? Are you ready to re-decorate? Should I take my shoes off before coming inside? We may not make it to the scary basement on day 1, but that’s okay. Our work will allow you to guide the tour and exploring your "house" together. May I come in?

Rene Gonzalez
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Childhood emotional neglect (CEN) can happen in families with loving parents who weren't there for their kids enough, and in abusive ones, too. It can lead to anxiety, depression, or trauma, and because these experiences are about what didn't happen, the wounds can be hard to see. That's why having guidance from an expert can make such a difference. Treatment with me works because I have extensive training from institutions like NYU and Columbia, but also because I draw from my own healing journey to know what actually works.
