Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
I'm Dr. Anna Smith (she/her), a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist. I offer online sex therapy, couples therapy, & relationship counseling across the US in 40+ states — for people who want deeper intimacy, more honest communication, & relationships that feel good.
What makes my practice different is that it’s built entirely around deep relational and sexual intimacy—nothing else. With over a decade focused exclusively on couples and sex therapy, AASECT certification, and advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and trauma-informed care, I’m not a generalist who happens to see couples; this is the work I love.
Clients tell me they finally feel seen, supported, and gently challenged in the exact ways they need. If you care deeply about your relationship (or your relationship with yourself) but feel stuck, exhausted by the same patterns, or unsure how to talk about sex without shame, I’d be honored to help. You deserve a therapist who specializes in exactly what you’re struggling with—and who can help you create the safety, closeness, and pleasure you’ve been longing for. Let’s talk.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Finding a therapist shouldn’t feel overwhelming—or like a guessing game. At Nour Counseling, we take the time to actually listen before we match you, so you’re not left scrolling through profiles trying to figure it out on your own. We consider what you’re looking for, what you’ve experienced in past therapy (what worked and what didn’t), and the kind of connection you want to feel in the room. We’re also clear about our values—our clinicians are culturally responsive and affirming, and we hold space for clients navigating complex identities and sociopolitical realities without minimizing or dismissing them. Our goal is simple: to help you get connected to a therapist who not only has the right expertise, but who genuinely feels like a good fit.

Allyse Teltser
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Clients often share that they experience me as approachable, compassionate, and down-to-earth - someone who creates safety while also being willing to step into the hard conversations. In our work together, you can expect a trauma-informed, nonjudgmental space where your story is respected, along with concrete strategies to support behavior change, strengthen relationships, and clarify your identity and values.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. If you’re ready to take the next step, I welcome you to reach out for a consultation. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your path forward.

Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
When a family is ravaged by addiction - of any kind - everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal. At Love With Boundaries Addiction Family Counselling, we work with the family members first, so that they can make the changes they need to make to truly help the addicts they love. The results we achieve are amazing - the addicts and their families begin to make healthier life choices so that recovery from the devastation of addiction leads to their new way of life.
