Shaelyn Cataldo
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C, EMDRIA Certified Therapist™
I believe our symptoms and struggles often make sense when we understand what we have lived through. Anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, and relationship patterns may have developed as ways of adapting, protecting ourselves, or staying connected. My role is to help you understand these patterns with curiosity and compassion rather than criticism.
I offer a warm, relational, honest, and sometimes direct therapeutic space. Together, we explore how past experiences, attachment wounds, and complex trauma may continue to shape your nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. Insight matters, but our work does not stop there. We also create opportunities to experience and respond to yourself differently.
As a Certified EMDR Therapist, I integrate attachment-focused EMDR, somatic therapy, IFS-informed parts work, and expressive approaches to support deeper, embodied change. The goal is not to become someone new, but to strengthen self-trust, reconnect with your needs and inner voice, and feel more at home in yourself.

Mackson Psychology
Psychologist, Samantha Mackson, Psy.D.
I became a psychologist because I genuinely enjoy helping people navigate the challenges that life inevitably brings. Starting therapy can be a meaningful first step toward creating positive change in your life, and I feel fortunate to be able to be a part of that journey. My approachable and down-to-earth style helps create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself from the very beginning. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and the stressors that often come with being a teen, college student, graduate student, young professional, or new mother. Above all, I am committed to creating a warm, trusting, and open environment where you can feel understood, supported, and free to be yourself. I truly love what I do and feel lucky to have a career that allows me to connect with people and support them through different stages of their lives. I look forward to getting to know you and being a part of your therapy journey.
