Jack Hazan Modern Therapy Group
Licensed Professional Counselor
As an Anxiety specialist, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals who grapple with challenges in Relationships, Intimacy, and Avoidant Behaviors stemming from various sources such as Adult Childhood Trauma, Codependency, Addiction (inclusive of excessive behaviors related to Sex, Porn, and Apps), as well as those contending with impulsive behaviors, including ADHD. My passion lies in using a trauma-based model to guide individuals towards overcoming obstacles and fostering a profound sense of fulfillment within themselves and their relationships.
My therapeutic approach is characterized by a direct and solution-focused style, setting it apart from conventional and outdated talk therapy. In each session, I actively engage with clients, employing contemporary and progressive therapeutic techniques such as Internal Family Systems, LGBTQ+, CBT, DBT, Sex Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, all of which have demonstrated effectiveness in achieving positive outcomes.
I am dedicated to collaboratively creating a personalized plan that equips clients with coping skills and tools tailored to their unique needs. Together, we navigate the journey toward building deeper, more meaningful connections while effectively managing anxiety. I am committed to ensuring that each therapy session is impactful, providing a secure space to address life's challenges and facilitating the integration of various dimensions of personal identity. My goal is to offer insight that empowers individuals to lead a more authentic and fulfilled life.

Truth Berenson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer counseling and coaching for individuals of all genders, sexualities, racial identities, and family formations. My work is rooted in developing a strong therapeutic relationship. Within the counselor-client connection, clients are invited to explore relational dynamics and to safely become more honest with themselves and others. Through collaboration, I support clients to clearly identify boundaries, honor desires, and expand their capacity to tap into innate resources. My approach is informed by psychodynamic theory, spiritual and archetypal counseling, parts work, creative arts therapy, and goal-oriented coaching in addition to somatic interventions. These coupled with a client-centered and anti-oppressive lens facilitate changes that are both radical and sustainable.
Areas of specialty include: partnership and family conflict, self doubt, guilt & shame, eating disorders & body image, gender, sexuality, LGBTQIA+ experiences, transitioning, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction, attachment, polyamory, family dynamics, interpersonal and communal conflict, spiritual growth, strengthening intuition, political identity, financial stability, transitions, and creative blocks.
My therapeutic style is intuitive, fierce, and nurturing. With passion and humor, I approach each person with deep respect for the grace and grit of human experience and an abiding trust in each individual's capacity for growth and resilience.
I also support couples struggling to navigate both the inevitable and unexpected challenges of partnership. Every partnership has unique strengths and challenges and even the strongest relationships sometimes need help weathering life's hardships, be they related to health concerns, finances, sexuality and intimacy, children, work stress, extended family, etc.
Couples counseling can help partners improve communication, develop a deeper understanding of each other's experiences, increase awareness of intentions and impact, and relate to each other with compassion and curiosity rather than judgment.
I support couples to make collaborative decisions and move through conflict with courage, honesty, and mutual respect.
Partners learn communication and deescalation skills, develop resiliency, and grow as individuals and partners. Together we can identify and heal attachment wounds, explore power dynamics, and build trust.

April Tettemer
Art Therapist, LCAT
I have a unique approach to therapy in that my educational background has allowed me to be trained in classic therapy modalities like CBT and DBT along with Creative Arts Therapy methods. I like to implement creative arts and creativity in general to classic therapy practice as client is comfortable. In addition to my creative approach to therapy I keep in mind values that influence my practice. I treat the client as an equal and respect the client's perspective and lived experience. I keep a non judgmental therapy space and am open to all orientations and lifestyles seeking therapy to increase their life satisfaction and to decrease feelings like anxiety and depression. I am a therapist who also comes form a multicultural perspective and like to keep in mind the clients macro and microenvironments that contribute to their lived experience and beliefs.
