Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Asher Lipner
Psychologist, Ph.D., SRT
I believe good therapy is more than symptom management. It’s about helping people understand themselves more honestly, develop greater emotional awareness, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentic.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — anxiety, shame, compulsive behaviors, emotional disconnection, relationship struggles, or cycles of secrecy and self-criticism. Often, these struggles are not simply about “bad habits” or lack of willpower, but about deeper emotional and relational dynamics that have never been fully understood or addressed.
My style is warm, direct, thoughtful, and engaged. I aim to create a space where people can speak openly about subjects that are difficult to discuss elsewhere, without feeling judged, dismissed, or reduced to a diagnosis. I believe meaningful therapy requires both compassion and honesty: the ability to understand pain without losing sight of accountability, growth, and change.
I have particular experience helping individuals and couples struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, betrayal trauma, intimacy difficulties, anxiety, shame, and trauma-related issues. I also work extensively with clients from religious and culturally sensitive communities, where these struggles often carry additional layers of secrecy, fear, and isolation.
Therapy can help people move from surviving on autopilot toward living with greater clarity, presence, integrity, and connection — both to themselves and to the people they care about most.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If your body is still feeling uncomfortable, agitated, or activated despite years of therapy and self-work, you're in the right place.
If you've already made the connection that some of your physical symptoms are probably stress related, you're well along your way. Once you've identified that, then there are ways that you can learn to work with your nervous system to start moving in a better direction.
I collaborate with intelligent, caring and curious humans to help them learn how to settle their nervous systems and resolve stress-related issues they may be contending with, ranging from digestive issues to anxiety attacks, nervous tics to emotional flares.
I currently have openings on Wednesdays and Thursdays: Let's schedule a free 15-minute consult to see if we're a good fit. Just go to this address: https://oncehub.com/thoughtfulintro

Dr. Madelyn Satz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life is challenging. All of us will deal with difficulty at some point in our lives, and many of us will face repeated struggles. We have a hand in some of these troubles and others we have no control over. But we always have control over how we interpret events, how we relate to them, how we make sense of them, and what we do as a result. There is validity in whatever way we view our situation, but as a starting place, not the only place, and we can move through and beyond into a clearing of many more and better possibilities.
I have many tools and techniques and strategies to shift perspective from deeply painful to healing and expansion. Despite how vulnerable we are in life, there is also a great deal of thriving that is available to us - when we know how to harness it.

Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Do you consider yourself spiritual, empathic, intuitive, creative, deep-thinking, or highly sensitive (HSP)? Do you sometimes struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? If you sense you have wounded inner child defense patterns from the past that block you from moving forward into the authentic self-expression of your needs and aspirations, I invite you into a therapy space where your originality, inner imagery, thoughts, and feelings can lead you towards greater wholeness, strength, and maturity.
