Layla Ashley Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Relationships can bring our deepest joy, but they can also surface painful patterns. If you and your partner find yourselves caught in the same arguments, struggling to truly hear one another, or feeling emotionally distant, you’re not alone. Many couples reach a point where communication breaks down and the connection they once felt begins to feel strained or uncertain. Sometimes earlier life experiences, family patterns, or stressors quietly shape the way we relate, making it harder to stay close even when the love is still there.
With more than two decades of experience working with couples, I help partners slow down the cycle of conflict and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in relational and attachment-based work. I support couples in developing healthier communication, repairing emotional wounds, and building a stronger foundation of trust and intimacy. I’m also particularly attuned to the needs of highly sensitive people and those who want a thoughtful, depth-oriented approach to relationship growth.
Whether you’re preparing for a deeper commitment, working to repair trust after a rupture, or trying to rediscover connection after years together, therapy can offer a meaningful path forward. I also support individuals navigating dating, heartbreak, or relationship transitions. Together we’ll work toward clearer communication, emotional safety, and a relationship that feels more conscious, supportive, and alive.

Maddy Engelfried
Pre-Licensed Professional
I have a background in art therapy as well as counseling, and I take a warm, compassionate approach to therapy. I’m deeply interested in people, and I like to lead with my curiosity, both in getting to know clients and in helping to understand what they’re going through. Research has shown that what makes therapy work is the therapeutic relationship, so I focus on cultivating that with every client I work with. I think every behavior has a reason behind it. We don’t make ourselves miserable because we want to! However, the coping mechanisms that fit one circumstance don’t always transfer well to the rest of our lives. By figuring out why we do the things we do and what we can do instead, we can start to shift our way of being in the world. A large part of my work is helping clients learn how to process difficult feelings about these changes. Therapy is hard work, but with creativity and humor, we can make real, lasting changes to our lives and relationships.

Edmund LaBarbara
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in assisting clients who are dealing with anxiety and OCD-related disorders. During our initial sessions, we will thoroughly explore these challenges and work together to create a personalized plan. Many of my clients notice a significant reduction in their symptoms within the first month, which often leads to lasting improvements in their overall well-being.
I earned a Doctorate and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA, in 2018. Prior to that, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh in 2008. Additionally, I completed a two-year postdoctoral training program at Harvard Medical/McLean Hospital’s OCDI residential program in Belmont, MA.
I am passionate about providing culturally sensitive care and strive to create a comfortable space for individuals with diverse sociocultural identities.

David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
We are beings in motion, faced with the opportunity to learn and grow by becoming aware of the tension between what is conscious and unconscious on this journey called life. Psychotherapy and psychoeducation are tools that we can use together on this journey. I focus on helping you to grow, find yourself, and reduce suffering on your journey. People are not a disorder, as that is only looking at the negative, and we already do far too much of that. As Carl Jung said, "We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become".
