Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
I am a firm believer that we are all capable of change. At the same time, I understand how difficult and scary change can be - even if it's what we want most. My goal is to help others build the confidence to see themselves fully and move through life based on their own inner compass.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, without judgment, while developing concrete tools to navigate challenges, build resilience, and live a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values.

Richard S. Shapiro Ph.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
I’m Dr. Richard S. Shapiro, a Board-Certified Clinical Psychologist (ABPP), and Board-Certified Telehealth Practitioner (B-CTP-II) licensed in Georgia, Florida, and Connecticut, and authorized to practice telepsychology across all 43 participating PSYPACT states. I have been in private practice since 1983, providing compassionate, evidence informed care designed to foster healing, growth, and lasting change. I specialize in video-based psychotherapy and deliver therapy with the same depth and rigor as I did in traditional face-to-face sessions. My clients appreciate that they can make progress without the burden of travel, and many find that telehealth sessions with me creates a welcomed sense of comfort and openness.

Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
I have been working with people for over 25 years and love to see people take flight and fly again in their lives. I never judge you or what you have done or who you tell me you are. Rather, I help you discern what you WANT to be and what you want to do and work to help you be and do that. My job is to help you become the very best you you can be. I encourage, support, comfort, challenge, and do all of these with humor and warmth. I simply don't think there is any other way for me to work.
