Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
I do my best to listen in the service of understanding and provide thoughtful responsiveness, which I have found helps my clients connect to their inner life and with others. Using gentle honesty and compassion, I value autonomy and collaboration to help people feel less alone while finding a sense of purpose within their lives and in the world.

Kimberly Hansley-Parrish
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Each person has a unique story about what's going on and how they got there. What I incorporate into my sessions is authenticity, humor, and a pragmatic approach. I strive to build a solid rapport with each client, as I know that the therapist/client relationship is essential to healing. I use an eclectic approach and I pull from a lot of different modalities when working with clients. What I find is more important than any theory or modality is being there my client in whatever moment they are in.

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.

Michelle Wolf
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC-S
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have spent over 18 years collaborating therapeutically with individuals, families, and schools. My passion is to help people learn ways to capitalize on their strengths, to help create an openness to gain improved skills, and to provide support as clients set a path towards improved day-to-day functioning. My experience has allowed me to help children, adolescents, and adults in private practice, juvenile justice settings, community settings, and school settings.
I now work exclusively in private practice and specialize in working with adults. I have treated a wide variety of conditions and have developed specialties in supporting those affected by depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, parenting concerns, coping difficulties, and chronic illness.
I have a wealth of respect for those who choose to enter counseling. My goal is to provide a supportive and collaborative counseling environment so that you can use your strengths as a spring board to help achieve healing and growth.
