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.

Acumen Psychological Services PLLC/ Dr Robinson
Psychologist, Psy.D., ABPP, PSYPACT
If you're seeking a collaborative therapeutic working relationship, then I might be a good match as a provider. It's important for individuals to gain insight into their behavioral patterns, understand underlying reasons for their current relational dynamics, but also have concrete ways in which they can pursue change. I'm a psychodynamic trained clinician, but also utilize other modalities such as CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy).

Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
I believe psychotherapy is most effective when it is grounded in a genuine, collaborative relationship characterized by empathy, authenticity, and respect. My approach is existential-humanistic and relational, recognizing that each person brings a unique history, perspective, and way of experiencing the world. Rather than viewing people primarily through the lens of symptoms or diagnoses, I seek to empathetically understand the whole person, including their struggles, strengths, relationships, values, and aspirations.
I see therapy as an opportunity not only to address emotional distress but also to deepen self-understanding, explore life's challenges, and discover new possibilities for living more authentically and meaningfully. I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and challenged in ways that support growth. I believe meaningful change emerges through authentic encounter, increased awareness, and the courage to engage more fully with ourselves, others, and the world.

Jonathan Hock -- Men's Work
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with men who feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from themselves, often after years of carrying responsibility, stress, or unresolved trauma alone. Many of the men I see have learned to keep pushing forward without stopping to reflect. As a U.S. Army veteran, I understand that mindset firsthand. Over time, this can lead to emotional numbness, irritability, and a loss of direction or purpose. My approach is existential, blending psychotherapy with enduring philosophical ideas to help you make sense of yourself, your relationships, and your place in the world.
Our work will focus on self-responsibility, recognizing your limitations, and enacting your personal freedom. I guide men to face what they’ve been avoiding, reconnect with their values, and respond to life with intention. With compassion and honesty, I offer no shortcuts. Together, we'll face difficult truths without ignoring the realities of your life.
Your distress isn’t evidence that something is wrong with you, it is often a signal that something meaningful is asking for your attention. Together, we slow down, make sense of it, and decide what kind of life you want to lead. If you’re ready to stop reacting to life, understand yourself more deeply, and take intentional steps forward, please reach out.
