Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
Often, perfectionistic and high-striving individuals are both curious about therapy and ambivalent about seeking it. They may feel excited by the possibility of understanding themselves more deeply, while also unsettled by the idea of asking for help with one’s own mind. For people who are used to being competent, self-reliant, and in control, therapy can feel exposing at first.
Michael helps clients understand this hesitation not as resistance, but as part of the work itself: the wish to grow alongside the fear of needing anything at all. Many clients become more comfortable once they see that therapy is not simply about “talking about feelings,” but about learning to observe the mind with more honesty and precision.
Therapy becomes a disciplined space for reflection, which itself can be a powerful tool for developing emotional clarity, self-awareness, and greater freedom in how one responds to pressure, relationships, and oneself. Michael is also attentive to the ways thoughtful, high-striving people can use insight, analysis, mindfulness, or even spiritual ideas to move around painful emotional material rather than through it. When this pattern is noticed early, it can be addressed directly and compassionately, helping therapy remain grounded, emotionally honest, and clinically useful.

Amy-Noelle Shih
Licensed Professional Counselor, Relationship Therapist and Life Coach, LPC, MA
I am a relationship coach and therapist, with an intuitive gift for working with relational dynamics.
What I have learned as a relationship coach and therapist and as a human soul who loves LOVE and the magic of healthy relationships is that it’s not enough to:
❤️love spending time together
❤️share values
❤️have good chemistry
❤️laugh together
❤️have good conversation
❤️genuinely enjoy one another’s company
❤️admire each other’s qualities
❤️feel love.
Yes, all of this is very important.
But if there is a deficit in body intelligence, heart attunement, healthy emotional vulnerability, and self-awareness, the issue will almost always be the same.
Partners may believe the issue is the breakdown of one of the things mentioned above. When the truth is, even the “masters of relationships” have challenges, ruptures, moments of feeling hurt, disappointed, misunderstood. What becomes the salve of reconciliation is the capacity to gain understanding, for deep care of another’s feelings, and a genuine desire to find the sweet spot where empathy and validation become antidotes to stuckness.
As soon as one feels seen and heard, pent-up energy is released, defenses soften, and there is more love, freeing up the barriers to seeking ways to work it out. Which is to say, loving understanding is the solution to finding solutions!
When partners can feel like their feelings and what's on their hearts is worthy of being held with importance and tenderness, then everything becomes more possible. There is new motivation, receptivity, and selfless energy that fills the space between partners. Growth, feeling close, and deeper trust are forged beautifully.
But if partners have fragile egos, cannot practice healthy control of their reactions, choose communication patterns that create more distance and suffering, are not willing to see their part in conflict, and allow their own stories and assumptions to rule their hearts and minds rather than compassionate understanding, then growth and change stall and stagnate.
Without self-awareness and course correction, even what is great about the relationship starts to recede into the background as the pain and disappointment get louder and take center stage, until only negativity seems to run the show.
