Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-based therapy that emphasizes emotional safety, collaboration, and respect for each client’s values and relationships. I work with adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship stress among other issues.
I take an integrative, evidence-based approach that incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic and nervous system–informed therapy, attachment-focused work, and emotion-focused interventions. While my work is rooted in clinical research, I also recognize that not all healing can be fully explained by science alone. I remain open to the many ways the mind, body, and inner world interact, honoring intuition, meaning-making, and embodied experience as part of the therapeutic process.
I provide affirming, nonjudgmental care for clients from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent adults. Many clients seek my practice for support around relationship dynamics, intimacy concerns, and navigating relationships that may not follow traditional models. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood without needing to educate their therapist.
My goal is to help clients develop greater emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a more secure connection with themselves and others.

Jonah Taylor
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What makes my practice unique is its integrative depth. I specialize in helping both individuals and couples understand the 'why' behind their patterns. Often, the very skills that serve people well professionally—like logic and control—become sources of frustration in their intimate lives, leading to communication breakdown, emotional withdrawal, or a loss of sexual connection. By blending the emotional science of EFT for couples, the deep insight of Psychodynamic Therapy for individuals, and specialized training in Sex Therapy, we work together to build the flexibility and vulnerability needed for true intimacy.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Welcome! For me, this work is deeply relational in nature, as I find a steady, trusting relationship to be central for deeper exploration. Together, we can attend to both immediate concerns and deeper themes such as emotional experiences, attachment styles, and family-of-origin dynamics. I offer a warm, steady presence alongside attuned and practical feedback, supporting meaningful insight that can lead to lasting change. Online therapy offers us a wonderful opportunity to engage in this work from the comfort of your own space, while also offering flexibility when needed. Moves, new jobs, or growing families - our work can remain an anchor through the change. If you'd like to discuss working together, please reach out for a free consultation.

Alisha Moquin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
You deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported by someone who truly gets it. Therapy isn’t a checklist- it’s a relationship. One grounded in empathy, trust, and your unique experience.
I believe that healing happens in connection—and that the most powerful tool in the therapy room is the relationship we build together. My person-centered approach creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where your story is honored and your strengths are the starting point.
And the best part? You don’t have to wait. I currently have openings and would be honored to walk alongside you through whatever you’re facing.
Let’s start with a conversation. Reach out today—we'll take it from there, together.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I know choosing a therapist can be difficult. I like to provide an atmosphere that is collaborative, nurturing, and focused on helping you achieve your goals. I do this using therapeutic techniques that are evidenced-based which means these methods have consistently been shown effective through research. I make every effort to balance kindness with a focus on getting you to where you want to be. This balance results in people feeling understood while creating meaningful change.
