So every therapist will say they want clients to feel genuinely understood, and I think they do, but I've watched a few whole anime series that I don't personally like just to get more insight on a teen client, and I've read books and research journals for adult clients with unusual circumstances. I only mention it to point out that I'm highly motivated to "get" someone's experience, whatever that may be. I’m committed to honoring each client’s right to self-determination, guiding them toward their own goals rather than imposing my personal views. Part of that is also letting clients in on my thought process "behind the scenes" as much as I can.

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
We will work together to help you make positive changes to your life—healthier, more stable, productive and fulfilling! With each of my clients, I work to build a relationship based in trust and authenticity where you can feel both safe and challenged—safe knowing you can talk openly and will be heard and understood, not judged, but also challenged to make the changes you want to make. Making those changes is more likely when you find a therapist who is empathetic—someone with whom you can connect and trust. Your full potential is always within reach and a therapeutic relationship based in sincere, empathetic, and authentic dialogue is healing. Call me today for a free, phone consultation and get started on a better and brighter present and future.

Counselor/Therapist, PhD, CPC, LPC, LCPC, CCMHC, NCC
Many of my clients beat themselves up after challenging days, have increased anxiety, and a lingering sense of self-criticism over minor mistakes. They constantly replay alternative scenarios which end up becoming an incessant loop, persisting for days or even weeks. Frustration grows as they struggle to shake off this self-critical mindset, fostering thoughts of inadequacy and impostor syndrome. Worries about disappointing others both professionally and personally contributes to exhaustion daily. Despite attempts by friends and family to offer support, the feeling of being truly understood remains elusive, deepening the overall sense of fatigue.
If you aspire to regain a sense of engagement in your life, pursue excellence in your career and personal life, experience love and support, and better manage stress and anxiety, these goals can be well within reach.
I collaborate with my clients in helping understand the driving forces behind their pursuit of achievement and instilling hope in the possibility of change. Together, we craft solutions that sustain high performance while transforming the self-critical inner dialogue into one of support. I assist my clients learn a set of tools designed to temper self-criticism and manage anxiety, paving the way to a more calmer and focused life.
If maintaining peak performance while navigating heightened anxiety and silencing that inner critic resonate with you, reach out for a complementary 15 minute session. Prior to transitioning into private practice, I spent over a decade as a tenured professor. Throughout this time, my research delved into perfectionism, anxiety, and stress management. I am enthusiastic about helping clients learn the knowledge and insights gained from this experience to guide you toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I believe that psychotherapy offers you an opportunity to examine your life story and in the process, gain new perspective and insight to re-write it and create a new narrative. While you may come to therapy with a problem to explore and address, I will also help you identify your personal character strengths and ways to nurture them, in order to support your personal growth and achieve your goals. I am a warm and supportive psychotherapist with an eclectic therapuetic approach, using both Western evidence based interventions as well as Eastern treatment approaches to help promote your healing and growth. I believe that collaboration, openness, curiosity and humor are key ingredients to a successful therapeutic experience. Psychotherapy is an adventure and I look forward to walking by your side on your chosen journey.

Allen Weg, Ed.D
Psychologist, Ed.D
"I work with 10 year old and older clients, but mostly with teens and adults. My work focuses on OCD, Social Anxiety, phobias, panic, and general stress-related difficulties, as well as body focused repetitive behaviors.
I am so thrilled to be a part of this elite group of highly trained and highly specialized professionals! For myself, as with most everyone else on our clinical staff, I am passionate about my work with OCD, as well as Panic, Phobias, and Social Anxiety. I believe that while any therapist can have training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) or Cognitive Restructuring, to successfully understand the subtleties of how to teach these skill sets, how to encourage and support individuals who are facing their fears, and how engender trust to those who have come to us seeking help- this really amounts to an art form. We have at our disposal what we believe to be powerful information that we are excited to share with you, and are ready to support you on your journey towards transcending your fears and anxieties!”
