Robert dos Santos Teixeira
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, SMF, MPIA, MA, MSW, LCSW
When you lose the little self, you find the bigger Self. You are the Light Who shines through the eyes: You are Ancient, Eternal, Infinite, One, and Unchanging Light. My job is to help you step out of the little self (the flesh-and-blood self), which is experiencing the pain of addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, etc., and into Who You really are. As a result, you will gain observer consciousness, which offers freedom, healing, transformation, and ultimately awakening.

Allaire Ross
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My name is Allaire Ross, I often work with individuals who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, depression, or relationship difficulties. My approach integrates CBT with an attachment-focused lens to help you understand the patterns—both behavioral and relational—that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll explore these patterns with warmth, curiosity, and a bit of humor, while building practical skills you can use in your daily life. Drawing from CBT, DBT, and somatic mindfulness practices, I aim to help you create a tangible toolbox for emotional regulation, clearer thinking, and stronger relationships. The goal isn’t just insight—it’s meaningful, lasting change that extends well beyond the therapy room.

Vesna Cvetkovic
Art Therapist, LCAT, ATR-BC
I believe in therapy and the potential for change. I also believe in the importance of finding support when you need it. As a therapist, I value the therapeutic relationship and try to show up for each client fully and take on the responsibility for their progress. Also, as a therapist, I always try to find potential avenues for growth, whether it's getting a certification in cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy, I believe that growing my skillset and sharing it with you is essential. I also encourage you to think deeply about your life and to take actions to create changes that you want to see.

Joanna Vergoth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, NCPsyA
I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 27 years of experience providing trauma-focused, psychodynamic psychotherapy to adults with complex trauma histories. I am particularly attuned to issues of relational trauma, attachment disturbances, abuse recovery, psychosexual health, anxiety disorders, and binge eating. My practice is culturally responsive and grounded in respect for each client’s lived experience and identity. Therapy with me is collaborative, paced with care, and grounded in deep attunement. I believe symptoms are adaptations to overwhelming experiences. I help clients understand how past experiences shape present patterns, transform trauma-shaped beliefs, and reconnect with their inner strength and authenticity. If you are ready for profound healing, I would be honored to work with you
