Emotionally Focused (EFT)
Dr. Chiara Simeone-DiFrancesco
Psychologist, PhD
Bottom line, I really care. I continually update my psychotherapy tools, and I have learned a cutting edge psychotherapy called Schema Therapy. It has transformed my practice of 33 years. It makes a huge difference when your clinician understands and conceptualizes what's going on and why, and especially can make sense of it to you. Whether it is individual or couples therapy, people have cycles they get into, and get trapped by. You can trace things to unmet needs that happen in the prime developmental stages of life, and traumas that get overlaid on these. This empathic and gentle understanding of yourself and your partner/spouse gives you the leverage to "float above" the typical everyday triggers and learn new coping skills. We can ally together, and not just talk about it, but experience new interactions that may surprise you, and you never thought possible. It is a great joy for me to share this with you and see you get happy! No greater high than that!

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.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
We often seek therapy because we are hurting and unhappy in our relationships with others and ourselves. Anxiety, sadness, restlessness, and loneliness are often the clues that we feel off-track. Whether you are new to it, or have been in it before, therapy presents the opportunity to invite a professional fellow human into your journey of meaningful living.
I provide evidence-based treatment for anxiety, relational, and trauma-related concerns for neurotypical and neurodivergent adults. I also work with individuals seeking to explore and understand their experiences of gender and sexuality. Our work begins with clarifying the nature of and sources of your concerns, setting a path forward, and working together to help you implement and maintain the changes you seek.
