Kerline Theodore
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
From the outside, life may look successful, but internally you may feel overwhelmed, burned out, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt. Through a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach (CBT, DBT, and EMDR), I help clients break free from patterns of stress and perfectionism so they can feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives.

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Welcome! I'm a clinical psychologist with nearly a decade of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I see children, adolescents, and young adults aged 5 and up with depression, chronic PTSD and dissociation, anxiety, OCD, and ADHD. My clients present with a range of concerns, including anxiety, ruminative thoughts, shame feelings, and perfectionism. Having had extensive experience in both psychodynamic psychotherapy and Trauma Focused-CBT, I take an integrative approach when working with clients-I collaborate with you and your child to tailor your goals and address needs for treatment.
While we would tailor treatment to further draw out and address your goals, I work to help you get to know yourself-to name and regulate a range of feelings, identify negative beliefs about yourself, others, or the world, and find healthier ways to cope with strong feelings. I also consider how your past history is relevant to your present relationships.
The decision to seek therapy is such a courageous one. I think, oftentimes, we can tell ourselves that we can "think through" or "solve problems" entirely on our own-it's so difficult to reach out for support! I work at a pace that feels manageable for you or your child, focusing on creating a warm and collaborative alliance for therapy and assessment.

Alexey Tolchinsky
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I apply the principles of affective neuroscience to help high-achieving professionals navigate complex emotional landscapes. As a Clinical Fellow of the Neuropsychoanalysis Association and a researcher, I offer a personalized, comprehensive, and compassionate approach that moves beyond reductive "cookie-cutter" treatments and saccharine AI advice. I focus on deep human connection and clinical accuracy, aiming to help you reach stable results, growth, and emotional freedom. I accept complex cases that other practitioners may find challenging.
I specialize in working with neurodiverse clients from a strength-based, complexity-aware perspective rather than a "disorder" perspective.

I am a warm, welcoming psychologist who uses an insight-oriented (“psychodynamic”) and relational approach to therapy. With patience and careful listening, I offer insights and guidance in a thoughtful, gentle, and non-judgmental manner. I work with clients who are 18+ years old, and specialize in issues relating to anxiety, romantic relationships/marriage, difficulties at college, self-esteem, pregnancy/postpartum/early parenthood, identity development, and family-related issues.
