Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
I am a firm believer that we are all capable of change. At the same time, I understand how difficult and scary change can be - even if it's what we want most. My goal is to help others build the confidence to see themselves fully and move through life based on their own inner compass.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, without judgment, while developing concrete tools to navigate challenges, build resilience, and live a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values.

Lisa Botticelli
Psychologist, Ph.D., PMH-C, c-DBT
My aim is to tailor the therapy process to the individual, always bearing in mind their specific goals. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space and I'm active in session, often asking questions, reflecting, and providing more direct feedback. Overall, the space is often balanced between more unstructured, exploratory work and more skills-based interventions.

Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, relationship issues and challenges. I also have a special focus on men’s mental health, including the unique emotional struggles that come with divorce, separation, and relationship transitions. My therapeutic approach is strength-based and grounded in cognitive behavioral, interpersonal psychotherapy, and narrative psychology. Successful therapy uncovers inner strengths that may have been quieted or overlooked — transforming emotional pain into resilience, insight, and growth. Together, we work to build not just relief from distress, but renewed clarity and strength.

Colby Schepps
Psychologist, Psy.D.
There is no better time than this current moment to lean in and learn more about what is standing between you and where you want to be. It may be a past trauma, recent lack of motivation, relationship conflict, work stress, or more than likely, its some combination of things that are keeping you stuck. You probably have the knowledge and skills to know what you could do, and need some help figuring out how to actually do it. Therapy is an experience where you can get clear on what you want and how you want to live, and start taking meaningful and measurable steps in that direction with someone you trust walking alongside you. I would love to be a part of that process with you.
I work to help you learn about what you are already doing well, because you absolutely are already doing many things well, and use those skills and strengths to improve in other areas. Using your values as a roadmap, we will identify goals and practice skills to move in your chosen direction. Learning in a nonjudgmental, compassionate, light-hearted environment will allow you to utilize the knowledge and skills independently and across many domains of life.
I have been providing therapy for more than a decade, spending most of my early career treating Veterans and Active Duty Service Members in a VA setting. Now, I work with adults of all backgrounds and identities to clarify their values, live more consistently with those values, and live the lives they really want to live. Client-therapist match is so important to effective therapeutic work, so I encourage you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation call so that you can feel sure about taking this next step. I hope that you do and I look forward to meeting you.
