Narrative Therapy
Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I’m a licensed therapist who believes healing happens through connection, compassion, and honoring each person’s unique story. I specialize in reproductive mental health, including experiences of abortion, pregnancy loss, infertility, parenthood, and choosing to be childfree. My approach is feminist, relational, and deeply affirming of queer, neurodivergent, and diverse family experiences. Together, we create a safe space where you can explore your feelings, reclaim your voice, and build resilience at your own pace. I’m here to support you with empathy, respect, and a commitment to your whole well-being.

Summer Hecht
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DSW, LCSW-C
Hi there! I'm so glad you're here.
I am a doctoral-level social worker who has been practicing for over twelve years. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship, and I'm a great fit for anyone who has ever left a therapy session disappointed because they were hoping for something that felt more authentic or for a space that allowed you to feel safe to be your entire self.
I provide couples, individual, and family therapy, as well as parent coaching. With couples, I am trained in Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Gottman Therapy. I believe that focusing on connection, relationship strengths that already exist, and respect make couples therapy the most successful. For families, similarly, building mutual respect and communication can improve overall functioning and restore peace. For parents, I focus on creating secure attachment, consistently enforcing realistic boundaries, and mutual respect. I support individuals in identifying personal values and recognizing unhelpful patterns so that a plan for moving forward meaningfully can be made.
I'm a perfect fit for you if you're feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, lonely, or unfulfilled. I support moms who have experienced birth trauma, NICU stays, infertility, postpartum depression and anxiety, or who are simply not adjusting to motherhood like they thought they would. I support parents who have multiples, who know they want to break generational patterns but aren't sure how, and who want to gentle parent effectively (not permissively). I work with individuals with ADHD (formally diagnosed or self-diagnosed), especially women with ADHD who may not have been diagnosed until adulthood due to compensating with overfunctioning and perfectionism. I work with individuals recovering from emotionally immature parents and with couples who are struggling to connect despite loving each other.
If any of this resonates you, I am accepting new clients and look forward to chatting with you to see if we might be a good fit! I know how overwhelming it can be to find a therapist who will be supportive, gently challenge you, and show up authentically and empathetically. I am that therapist and I can't wait to get started on helping you achieve your goals.

Narrative Therapy
Sarah Sternlieb
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Do you feel like you’re stuck in the past, reliving what happened no matter how hard you try to move on? Do you have panic attacks, nightmares, or feel like your body is always on high alert? Whether it’s been a few months or several years, trauma can show up in so many ways: how you connect with others, see yourself, and move through the world.
I offer trauma therapy for adults who are ready to stop feeling trapped by what they’ve been through. Using evidence-based, mind-body approaches like EMDR, we’ll work together to calm your nervous system, shift painful patterns, and rewire how trauma is held in your brain. You don’t have to tell your whole story for healing to happen.
Let’s take the first step toward something better. Book your free consultation today to get started.
