Colette Pauta
Counselor/Therapist
If you're looking for someone who will truly listen and help you feel heard and seen, my goal is to offer a space where you don't have to filter or perform. I take a warm, relational, and collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you where you're at with curiosity and care. I believe that humor has a place in healing, and when used thoughtfully, it can make difficult conversations feel less intimidating and more human. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in understanding how your experiences, relationships, and environment shape the challenging you're facing. Together, we'll explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that feel relevant to your everyday life. Therapy with me is not about having all the answers, it's about creating space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. Whether you're thinking about therapy for the first time, or have been in the counseling space before, I welcome the opportunity to get to know who you are at your core.

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.

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.

Lauree Berger Turman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW 22044, LCSW 098456-01
To change, to grow, to connect, to stay connected, to be the very best of yourself are the reasons to come into therapy. Those issues are at the center of my work. Understanding how you got here, where you want to go, and how to get there. We begin with the here and now, and slowly, at your own pace, unpeel the proverbial onion (which is know to cause tears) and you create your life without barriers.
