Relational Psychotherapy
Asher Lipner
Psychologist, Ph.D., SRT
I believe good therapy is more than symptom management. It’s about helping people understand themselves more honestly, develop greater emotional awareness, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentic.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — anxiety, shame, compulsive behaviors, emotional disconnection, relationship struggles, or cycles of secrecy and self-criticism. Often, these struggles are not simply about “bad habits” or lack of willpower, but about deeper emotional and relational dynamics that have never been fully understood or addressed.
My style is warm, direct, thoughtful, and engaged. I aim to create a space where people can speak openly about subjects that are difficult to discuss elsewhere, without feeling judged, dismissed, or reduced to a diagnosis. I believe meaningful therapy requires both compassion and honesty: the ability to understand pain without losing sight of accountability, growth, and change.
I have particular experience helping individuals and couples struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, betrayal trauma, intimacy difficulties, anxiety, shame, and trauma-related issues. I also work extensively with clients from religious and culturally sensitive communities, where these struggles often carry additional layers of secrecy, fear, and isolation.
Therapy can help people move from surviving on autopilot toward living with greater clarity, presence, integrity, and connection — both to themselves and to the people they care about most.

Relational Psychotherapy
Katelin Fullerton
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, CST
I help clients to connect with their authentic selves and strengthen their relationships. This space centers on you and what you're bringing into it; I'm not here to judge, criticize, or fix you, but instead support you in learning about your own internal world. I meet clients with an emphasis on a safe, affirming therapeutic relationship as a place to begin healing.

I do my best to listen in the service of understanding and provide thoughtful responsiveness, which I have found helps my clients connect to their inner life and with others.

Relational Psychotherapy
Allison Lobel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe therapy should be a supportive and collaborative space where people of all ages feel understood and valued. I provide outpatient psychotherapy for children, teens, and adults, drawing from psychodynamic, CBT, and family systems approaches to support meaningful growth and healing. My goal is to help clients navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and foster resilience in ways that feel authentic and lasting.

Relational Psychotherapy
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I'm Dr. Cynthia, a licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience, specializing in narcissistic abuse recovery for mothers. I coined the term Narcissistic Burnout™ to describe what happens when you've spent years managing someone else's chaos at the expense of your own mental health, your children's mental health, your parenting, and your sense of self.
This isn't standard talk therapy. I work with moms navigating high-conflict divorce, coercive control, post-separation abuse, and the specific hell of trying to parallel parent with a narcissist. I understand what it's like to sit across from a family court system that doesn't get it and to need someone in your corner who does.
You'll stop questioning your reality and heal from gaslighting. You'll learn to protect yourself and your children without losing yourself in the process. Together we will work towards moving from surviving to thriving.
I offer telehealth across PSYPACT states. If you're ready to move from crisis mode to clarity, reach out today.
