Alan Hanft
Psychiatrist, M.D.
I’m a board certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, and also a board certified Adult Psychiatrist, seeing young children, teenagers, and adults. In general, my approach is to listen carefully, empathetically, to try to understand your situation as well, thoroughly as possible, and then work with you to develop a safe and effective treatment plan in a supportive environment. I believe a comprehensive plan is best, and not to rely solely on medications, although medications can certainly be very helpful in many situations. The goal is to help you with your problems, relieve distress, and thus improve your quality of life.

Elaine Barrington
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Clients often comment on my intuition and presence with them. As a therapist who focuses on building authentic relationships, it is one of my strengths. We all need to be seen, heard, and understood. It is an honor to share my clients' experiences with them and go on this therapeutic journey together. Rooted in knowledge and experience, I support healing and growth while guiding clients toward a more whole and compassionate sense of self.

Laura Katz

As the child of a Holocaust survivor, working with multigenerational trauma has been a powerful experience, both personally and professionally. I know first-hand that healing can be achieved through therapy with someone who understands the depth and complexity of inherited family trauma.

Michelle Parrella
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a feminist therapist, I help examine stressors experienced as a result of biases, oppression and discrimination. I love working with folks who want to dig deep into the disconnects they’re experiencing: where stress, anxiety, or overwhelm is causing them to feel out of balance. I will give you the tools to take control of your life and uncover who you truly are, so you can resurface empowered and confident and live authentically.

Gwen Grigsby
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
I appreciate you taking an interest in my practice. Whether you're new to therapy or have been before, seeking support is a courageous step towards personal growth and happiness. If you're struggling to navigate life, you're not alone. We all go through difficult times and face adversity, but that doesn't mean we have to grin and bear it on our own. I believe we are all born with the innate capacity to overcome life's most difficult experiences, and sometimes we need support uncovering our inner strength. When provided a safe space to share and explore, we can rediscover our authentic selves and live life more fully. I would love to hold space for you and join you along your journey.
To see if we're a good fit, please reach out to schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation. I look forward to connecting with you.

Nicole Bermensolo
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
The therapeutic process has the ability to transform. I am living proof of this. At my lowest point, I was anxious, depressed, suicidal, and trapped in an addiction to alcohol and Adderall. With the help of a skilled therapist, I was able to come out of this darkness - inspiring me to leave a successful business in order to help others who are suffering. I believe that everyone deserves a fighting chance to overcome trauma and abuse and live a rich, full, and satisfying life. I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I believe we are all deserving of unconditional love. I hold the hope for my clients when they are drowning in hopelessness. I approach my life and my work through a feminist, anti-oppression, anti-racist, and body-positive perspective. I am passionate about animal rescue and shelter pets. If any of this resonates with you, please shoot me a message and let's find a time to connect.

Caroline Wessling
Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT, APCC
Is anxiety and overwhelm leaving you feeling trapped and diminished? Do you find yourself endlessly analyzing every decision, only to doubt yourself afterward? Are you constantly chasing an unattainable standard of perfection? Do you feel resentful in your relationships, struggling to have your needs met? You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.
In my practice, I craft personalized plans tailored to the unique needs of each client. I focus on mindfulness techniques to bring awareness to the self-limiting beliefs we've internalized because we can't change what we're not aware of. Through a combination of talk therapy and Brainspotting, I assist clients in overcoming anxious thought patterns and past traumas, silencing their inner critics, and stepping into a more serene and empowered life.
