Angie Yemma
Therapist, LCAT, BCDMT
From the outside, it looks like you're doing everything right. You work hard, show up for others, and push yourself to succeed. But behind the scenes, you're exhausted. You overthink every decision, replay conversations in your head, and constantly wonder if you're doing enough. No matter how much you accomplish, it never seems to feel like enough.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
I specialize in helping teens and young adults break free from perfectionism, anxiety, and self-doubt. Together, we'll uncover the patterns that keep you stuck, learn how to quiet your inner critic, and build confidence that isn't based on achievement alone.
As a therapist and dance/movement therapist, I believe healing happens when we learn to listen to both our minds and our bodies. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Therapy with me isn't about becoming a different person—it's about helping you feel more like yourself again.
You don't have to keep carrying the pressure alone. If you're ready to stop striving for perfect and start living with more confidence, self-compassion, and joy, I'd love to help.

Christie Roe
Therapist, LMSW
I see therapy as an invitation to center yourself and co-create the conditions for more curiosity, choice, and connection, inside and out. My integrative and non-invasive approach to trauma recovery and wellbeing aims to address stressors, symptoms, and struggles in context, with practical attention to root causes, unmet needs, and possibilities for healing and harmonization.
If our therapeutic values and motivations seem to align, I welcome you to reach out and start a conversation about working together! Please include a bit about what brings you to my practice and your availability for a 15 minute phone call. Consultation is always complimentary.

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.

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.

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.
