ENID MCKITRICK
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
For more than 30 years I have been helping people to identify the patterns that are keeping them stuck, and to begin the process of developing new patterns that will lead them towards the life they want to live. For the first five years of my practice I worked in an employee assistance setting, gaining valuable experience in helping to resolve workplace conflicts and challenges. As all therapists do, I draw on my own life experiences and challenges to inform my work with my clients, including the infertility treatment I underwent in order to start a family. I also draw on my background as a classically trained singer when working with clients who are engaged in the creative arts.

Robin Kaye Stilwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., L.M.F.T.
With many years of experience, I bring an eclectic, interactive approach to therapy. We each see the world through our unique lens, as well as how we see ourselves in relationships; all influenced by the larger systems we are part of. These different perspectives are honored. My style is to create a relaxed atmosphere , and our work is guided by our conversation. I listen for underlying patterns of behavior. This shapes my perceptions as to what interventions will be most beneficial. .

Nina Arroyo Santiago
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
As a bilingual social worker from Puerto Rico, I offer therapy in English and Spanish for children, teens, and young adults. I know how important it is to feel understood and supported in the language and style that feels most natural to you. I use a patient-centered, trauma-focused, culturally competent approach to create a safe, welcoming space where you can explore emotions, build strengths, and feel truly heard. My experience includes working in schools with middle and high school students, as well as in medical settings with children, teens, and young adults.

Molly Rosenstein
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
The decision to pursue therapy can be a difficult one and I honor that decision by creating a warm, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel safe to explore their experiences, emotions, and behavioral patterns. I prioritize working at a pace that feels comfortable for each individual client as I understand that being vulnerable, self-reflecting and revisiting difficult experiences can be new and overwhelming.
Chronic life stressors and sudden changes can make it challenging to access one’s innate strengths and abilities. I see myself as a guide, helping clients reveal and strengthen their natural abilities as well as develop new skills so that they can flourish and create more meaningful, satisfying and unburdened lives.

Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
If you're a high-achieving woman who looks strong on the outside but are quietly unraveling inside, you're not alone. I provide trauma informed therapy for women dealing with antagonistic, narcissistic, emotionally toxic and abusive relationships. Burnout is serious and not something you can just get over. I offer practical, solution focused strategies focused on recognizing the patterns, doing deep healing on yourself, set boundaries without guilt, and start protecting yourself (whether you stay or go). If your navigating a high conflict divorce, dealing with gaslighting, trying to coparent,(parallel parenting), and/or dealing with post-separation abuse, you need someone who understands these dynamics and supports you to stop questioning yourself, while building yourself back up. I help women move from surviving to thriving. Reach out today. You don't have to do this alone.

Dr. Jillian Neill
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
Growth and change are hard for everyone. They are even harder if we do not have the insight and the tools to help us navigate them. My goal as a therapist is to help you live the life you want to be leading: a life aligned with your values and focused on what is important to you. The road to adult "success" can be full of unexpected detours and barriers. Sometimes, we need support overcoming those barriers or even charting an entirely new path from our previous notions of what it means to be happy, whole, or fulfilled.
Using a variety of approaches, I work with clients to heal old wounds, understand their patterns, and examine the present and the future to build towards their goals. I am trained in EMDR to treat trauma, and also use talk therapy approaches to help clients achieve healing and balance in their lives.

Sydney Rosen
Psychologist, PsyD
I help clients to create change through a better understanding of themselves and their relationships. You may be feeling dissatisfied or uncertain, disconnected from others or lacking a sense of control over your emotions or life choices, but I believe that you already have the ability and determination to help yourself. I work to draw out that ability through a combination of insight-expanding exploration and teaching specific tools to help you overcome challenges, all while utilizing my training to call out patterns and behaviors that may be getting in your way. I work from an attachment perspective, and strive to develop a strong therapeutic relationship that can help you to better understand and improve your relationships with family, romantic partners and friends. I aim to create an environment that feels safe, accepting, validating and empowering, and for you to feel happier, more stable and more autonomous through our work together.
I have expertise in anxiety and depression, life transitions, family of origin conflict, identity development, body image, self-esteem and relationships, including clients established in or considering opening their relationships to non-monogamy. I have extensive training in psychodynamic and relational therapies, as well as skill-based approaches such as CBT and DBT. I work with college students, young adults and established professionals, including those contemplating retirement.
I am actively affirming and welcoming to individuals of all gender identities, ethnicities, sexual orientations and religions. In particular, I have experience working with LGBTQ+ clients, individuals of various faith traditions, and those exploring or established in non-monogamy.

Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
*I am currently accepting new clients*
I’m glad you are here. Reaching out to find support can be the hardest step. I can be difficult to know how to move forward in your personal life, work, or academics when fear, anxiety, or depression are making you feel stuck.
I often find that when one hits a crossroad in their life, it can sometimes bring stress, but also has the capacity to create growth and resilience. Whether it’s experiencing overwhelming feelings of loneliness, trying to find your footing as a parent, coping with a difficult boss or colleague, or navigating the loss of a relationship, having a nonjudgmental and supportive space to work on areas of growth can make all of the difference.
I believe that positive change most readily occurs when the right balance of accountability and self compassion is achieved. To that end, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can truly feel supported.
