Psychologist, Psy.D.
You may be accomplished, capable, and the person others rely on, yet still find yourself overthinking, second-guessing, or feeling like what you do is never quite enough. I offer thoughtful, engaged therapy that goes beyond simply managing symptoms to understand the patterns, relationships, and experiences that keep you stuck. With nearly nearly 20 years of experience, I provide a warm, down-to-earth, and inclusive space where people of all identities and backgrounds are welcomed and respected.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Many of the women I work with are capable, caring, and used to holding everything together, even when it comes at the cost of their own bandwidth. From the outside, life may look steady, but internally there can be tension, exhaustion, or a quiet sense of disconnection. I offer trauma informed, relational therapy for women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and find a way of living that feels more sustainable. My work is grounded in attachment and nervous system awareness, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in genuine conversation rather than quick fixes. If you are looking for a space where you can show up honestly and feel met as a whole person, I invite you to connect for a consultation.

Dr. John Monopoli
Psychologist, PhD
If you’re feeling stuck, isolated, irritable, frustrated, doing things you don't want to, and seeking change -- let's talk. I see clients for individual therapy, and work primarily with millennials and Gen Z'ers who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and/or ADHD. Many of my clients are early or mid-career professionals balancing work and family demands, dealing with relationship stress, and working through challenging family dynamics. My specialties go along with associated challenges in this group: establishing healthy boundaries, listening to your instincts, and taking care of your self. I also have specific training working with social anxiety and ADHD.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Transitions in life and work can bring both possibility and uncertainty. You may be preparing for a new chapter, weighing an important personal, career, or financial decision, or struggling with a sense of being stuck. You may also be considering how to create a life that feels more fulfilling, sustainable, and aligned with your values. The decisions you make and circumstances you face during such periods can meaningfully shape what comes next. Although these moments can be stressful, they can also invite deeper reflection on identity, relationships, mental health, and how you want to live. You do not have to work through them alone.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
At the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness, we believe everyone can benefit from therapy. From the time we’re young, we’re taught how to take care of our physical health and our bodies, but we’re not generally taught how to manage our thoughts and emotions so we can take care of our mental wellbeing. Many people never seek psychological help, and others may only seek it when they are experiencing a crisis. We aim to change this. We believe that investing in your psychological health is essential to overall wellbeing, no matter your life circumstances. Life is challenging, and everyone can use support. We believe in providing care across the spectrum of psychological health, and in fostering mental and emotional wellbeing in addition to treating mental illness. We believe strongly in providing only evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapies: therapy that has proven to be effective through copious research studies. We also employ only doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in providing these evidence-based services.

Dr. Kristyn Neckles
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You may be successful, capable, and accustomed to handling a lot, yet still find yourself feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or simply tired of holding everything together. Perhaps you are navigating burnout, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, a major life transition, or the pressure of being the person others consistently depend on.
I work with adults and couples who want more than a place to simply talk. Together, we make sense of the patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen the tools you already possess, and develop practical strategies for meaningful and lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and gently direct, with therapy tailored to your experiences, values, relationships, and goals.
You do not have to wait until life is falling apart to seek support. Therapy can also be a space to pause, gain clarity, strengthen your relationships, reconnect with yourself, and decide how you want to move forward. My goal is to help you move beyond simply managing life toward living with greater intention, connection, and resilience.

Michael Berry
Psychologist, PhD
My ideal client is looking for practical support overcoming problems with binge-eating, insomnia, anxiety, depression, or distress caused by a medical condition. As your psychologist, my first goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where you can feel comfortable openly sharing your struggles. Together, we’ll identify your goals, figure out what’s getting in the way of change, and develop practical steps to move forward. I regularly measure progress to ensure therapy is focused and effective, helping you feel better while gaining insight and skills to maintain your progress long after therapy ends.
