Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
I love helping my clients address issues with sleep, anxiety, mood, and past traumatic experiences. For me, helping others as a psychologist is a true passion. When appropriate, I use evidence-based therapy, which has clinical research supporting its effectiveness. I routinely offer couples and grief counseling. I've been told by my clients that I clearly take my job seriously and prepare well for sessions, always eager to bring them the relief that they're seeking in a thoughtful and targeted way. I don't stretch treatment out any longer than needed. As far as my unique characteristics as a therapist, I believe that humor plays an important role in treatment, and that therapists who are willing to be self-disclosing and genuine develop stronger, more meaningful connections with their clients. I see therapy as a very personal process -- far more so than other types of health visits -- and that forming a real relationship is a key component of mental health treatment. I find that one definite benefit of such a relationship is that I'm able to offer my clients truthful, direct feedback, as they always know that any challenging remarks are coming from a caring and compassionate place. Along these lines, I belief that it's a therapist's job to routinely encourage their clients to push beyond their comfort zones and make bold changes.

Pre-Licensed Professional, MS, NCC, LPC-A, CTP, CCATP
I am honored when clients allow me to embark on their journey together toward healing and a better sense of well-being. It is also about allowing me to sit with them in their present awareness of reality and not feel so isolated from their thoughts and emotions. Everyone's story is different and unique to their circumstances and dynamics. Seeing a client truly feel heard and finding their voice when they thought it was lost is a profound experience. It can be a reminder their story is not over, but a new chapter is unfolding. Whether I see an individual, couple, or family, I can have an outside-looking-in perspective that the client may not see otherwise.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I'm not your ordinary therapist. I have 20 + years of experience as a therapist, plus I have the life experience of a wife of 43 years, mother of two, and grandmother of four. I am the therapist that people come in and say, "Wow, you helped me more in one session than I got out of years with several other therapists." I am fun, direct, empathetic, but direct so that you can have the results you are looking for in a short amount of time. I love what I do, so it's not work to me. I'm very interactive in sessions so there won't be many times where I just sit there and don't provide feedback. I'm the type of therapist that will call you out on your stuff so I can help you meet your goals and have better relationships with others. I love talking with potential clients to see if I'm a good fit. After a phone call with me you will be able to get a sense if I'm a good fit for you. Please give me a call and let's chat!

Dr. Evette Addai
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Accepting new clients! Are you or your child finding it hard to cope with a medical diagnosis? Are you noticing changes where your child is having more tantrums, cannot follow instructions unless you repeat yourself, seems to be overthinking, spends more time in their room, or blows up over small things? We can work together to use evidence-based solutions to improve stress, change behaviors, and help create a hopeful future for you and/or your child. I have worked with many youth, adults, and families around healing from burnout, finding space for self-care when there's little time, and dealing with larger social stressors related to race/ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, a trauma survivor, and someone with a chronic pain disorder; I approach the work that I do from a place of empathy and personal understanding. I have an intense passion for understanding personal identity and the way race, culture, class, and sexuality come together to form what we believe about ourselves and what we feel we can accomplish in our lives. Anxiety and trauma can live in our bodies - together we will create a relationship that fosters dynamic and lasting growth, tapping into undiscovered reserves of resiliency that will help navigate the past and prepare for a more hopeful future.
