Diane Vaillancourt
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A., psychotherapist, Life Coach
I believe healing takes place when the core of the emotions/feelings is identified and then expressed. Our emotions and behavior are mostly covered and protected to avoid pain. There is no healing without feeling the pain but it's only temporary. Once the pain is felt and released the door for Joy has opened. I also use EFT, Spirituality and Energy Healing as it complements the process of therapy.

Jon Prezant
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MA, CST
I came to this work through a longstanding interest in how people make meaning of their inner lives - the stories they inherit, the ones they tell themselves, and the gap between who they think they're supposed to be and who they actually are. I work with individuals and couples. My approach is direct, warm, and honest. I take your experience seriously, sit with what's difficult, and work with you toward something that actually fits your life. Whether you're navigating a sexual concern, a relationship rupture, a life transition, or something harder to name, my job is to help you understand yourself more clearly and move through your life with more freedom.

Dr. Lois Horowitz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW
If you’ve landed here, there’s a good chance you’re going through a lot—anxiety, depressed mood, self-doubt, or maybe just the exhaustion that comes from trying to hold everything together.
Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to face it alone.
I offer a warm, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. As a therapist, I work with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, shame, and the lasting impact of early emotional wounds. I also specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals as they navigate identity, coming out, and the complexities of living authentically in a world that doesn’t always understand.
In our work together, we’ll move at your pace—exploring the patterns that are keeping you stuck, building practical tools for emotional resilience, and gently working toward healing, self-acceptance, and change.
I am a psychoanalyst with over 30 years experience as a clinician, teacher, and author. I work with both individuals and couples.

We can also have a 10 minute consultation by phone to see if I’m the right fit for you.
