Emotion-Focused
Evelyn Ponce
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space to help you heal from past wounds and step into the person you want to be. I work collaboratively with clients navigating complex trauma, attachment wounds, depression, anxiety, and the perinatal/postpartum journey. Together, we’ll draw on your innate strengths to build a rich, meaningful life—even amid uncertainty or pain. My practice integrates Attachment Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), AEDP, and Master-certified Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

Emotion-Focused
Caitlin Fountain
Psychologist, PsyD
Therapy with me is about getting curious, connecting the dots, and seeing your experiences in ways you may never have considered before. I’m authentic, supportive, and not afraid to ask the tough questions that lead to meaningful insight. There’s room for vulnerability, uncomfortable truths, and a healthy dose of dark humor along the way. I especially enjoy working with people who are ready to better understand themselves, challenge old patterns, and make changes that last. Together, we’ll gently open the boxes you’ve kept closed, make sense of what’s inside, and figure out what you want to do with it. You set the pace; I’ll bring the curiosity, compassion, and occasional irreverence.

Emotion-Focused
Dr. Maureen J Gallagher
Psychologist, PhD
Many of my clients sense something is wrong but can’t quite name it. They may feel depressed, anxious, or reactive in their relationships, or find that even real achievements leave them feeling empty. Some recognize that early experiences are still quietly shaping how they feel, relate, and see themselves.
I am a Licensed Psychologist in New York and New Jersey and hold an APIT credential to provide telehealth in all PSYPACT states. With 20 years of experience in somatic modalities, I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and SE Faculty member. I also practice and teach Inner Relationship Focusing, a compassionate embodied parts work model, and draw on Deep Brain Reorienting and Emotion Focused Therapy. These approaches pay close attention to what the body holds: the fear, tension, bracing, numbness, or shutdown that often sits underneath long-standing patterns. As we slow down and notice sensation, emotion, and the different parts of you that carry old pain, your nervous system has room to settle and those patterns can begin to shift.
I work with adults navigating relationship trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, chronic stress, and repeating old patterns, and I have extensive experience with developmental trauma as well as medical trauma and illness. For those who experienced early trauma, building a kind and positive relationship with yourself is central to healing, and it is at the heart of how I work.
Sessions take place through secure video, so you can do this work from the privacy and comfort of your own space. Somatic work adapts well to telehealth, and many people find it easier to feel greater ease at home. My approach is warm and non-judgmental, and we move gently, at your pace.
You don’t need to arrive with clarity. Wanting something different is enough to begin.

Megan Noren
Psychologist, Psy.D.
If you are feeling stuck in the same emotional patterns, struggling to adjust to changing circumstances, or finding yourself overwhelmed by the demands of life, therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin to make meaningful changes.
I'm Dr. Megan Noren, a licensed clinical psychologist and the owner of Maitri Therapy Services. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that understanding our emotions can help us develop a deeper sense of self and create healthier relationships. I strive to provide a warm, supportive space where you can feel understood without judgment and explore the experiences that have shaped who you are.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and the mental load that can come with balancing competing demands. I have a particular interest in maternal mental health, including perinatal depression and anxiety and the emotional and identity shifts that accompany parenthood. I also welcome clients exploring questions of identity, self-worth, boundaries, and connection.
In our work together, we'll explore the emotions and patterns that may be keeping you stuck, make sense of painful experiences, and identify what you need to feel more grounded and connected. I draw primarily from Emotion-Focused Therapy, with additional approaches tailored to your needs and goals. My hope is to help you develop greater self-compassion, strengthen your relationships, and build the confidence to live in a way that feels more aligned with your values.
Maitri is a Sanskrit word associated with loving-kindness and benevolence. These ideas reflect the heart of my practice: creating space for connection, trust, courage, and compassion as you work toward healing and growth.
You don't have to navigate everything on your own. I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
