Althea Dent
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
My approach to therapy is grounded in collaboration, respect, and practical growth. Therapy with me is a shared process focused on helping you move from feeling stuck toward greater clarity and confidence. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused methods, and a Socratic, meta-questioning style to help clients examine patterns, strengthen self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies. My work often supports people navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, and relationship concerns, with an emphasis on tools that can be applied in everyday life. I view the therapeutic relationship as central to meaningful change.

Tricia Mazza
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
You’re not “too sensitive.” You’re responding to something that doesn’t make sense—and you’re trying to make sense of it alone. If you’ve found yourself questioning your reality, over-explaining your feelings, or wondering how you ended up in another one-sided or emotionally confusing relationship, you’re not the only one—and you’re not imagining it. I work with women who are beginning to recognize patterns of narcissistic or emotionally manipulative relationships—whether in romantic partnerships, family dynamics, or both. Many of the women I support are high-functioning, self-aware, and deeply empathetic. From the outside, it looks like you have it together. Internally, you may feel exhausted, stuck in overthinking, or unsure how to trust your own instincts anymore. This work is about helping you name what’s happening, not dismiss it.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. As someone whose mind tends to move fast, dig deep, and resist “fitting in,” I’ve learned firsthand how isolation, frustration, and burnout can grow from being misunderstood.
In my practice, I offer a place of understanding, clarity, and transformation. I help clients map how their unique thinking, energy, and attention patterns affect relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we create strategies and habits that align with who you are—so that your strengths become the foundation for growth, not sources of struggle.
I provide this support virtually across 44 states—and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move toward what’s next.
