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. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
In our therapeutic journey together, my approach is grounded in an understanding of the impact of trauma, recognizing that our struggles always exist in the context of our environments and histories. I weave mindfulness and positive psychology into our sessions, aiming not just for 'okay,' but for a life that feels truly meaningful and fulfilling. Trained in EMDR, ACT, CBT, and clinical hypnosis, I bring a diverse toolkit to tailor our sessions to your unique needs.
I see our time together as a collaborative space, where your feedback and active participation shape the path to your well-being. There's no one-size-fits-all in therapy—I believe in finding the approach that resonates best with you and addresses your specific concerns. Let's embark on this journey towards positive change together.
