Registered Social Worker, MSW, ACSW, CLE, PMH-C
Thanks for taking time to find care for yourself. You deserve to have wellness and care and to have a therapist who wants to see you thrive. Most of my clients come to me seeking help with stress, anxiety, and the various stages of motherhood. I love and have a wealth of experience working with individuals and families and building relationships. In my own journey to healing, I have had to learn to navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and postpartum stress and anxiety. I understand what it feels like to be overwhelmed and to want someone to see and care for you in a way that feels genuine. I have been working in the helping profession for 20 years in various settings from private practice, non-profit, hospital, educational and street outreach settings. My goal is to meet you where you are and to partner with you to decrease your suffering no matter where you are in your life stage. We all deserve wellness.

Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Let's work through this together.
If you’re feeling worn out, anxious, and disconnected, and your current way of living feels off course, my therapeutic approach can provide the support you need. Much of our distress originates from deeply rooted, uncontrollable negative thoughts about ourselves and the world, embedded during our upbringing. Often, we remain unaware of what keeps us stuck, making it challenging to find a way out.
I've been fortunate to assist numerous individuals whose lives felt unsustainable and unfulfilling, guiding them to uncover their truest, most vibrant selves. This process is not about making minor adjustments; it's about profound transformation. The life you desire is closer than you realize, but the path to it isn’t always clear when traveled alone.
Together, we will explore evidence-based techniques, enriched with the wisdom of philosophy, the tranquility of Buddhism, the strength of Stoicism, the practice of Mindfulness, and the insights of the mind-body connection through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This isn’t just about self-improvement; it’s a deep awakening, liberating you from the negative thoughts and emotions that have held you back."

Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #149147
The concept of self-love is a mystery because you often default to a painful pattern of beating yourself up. Being productive is important to you but instead you feel overwhelmed and burnt out. You want to be in the flow with your partner but rather you are constantly at odds leaving you feeling lonely and isolated. Cultivating deeper relationships is a value to you but you feel disconnected, anxious and stressed. These and other of life’s great emotional impasses are what often lead people to therapy.
I believe the most valuable impact therapy can have on you is a deeper understanding of yourself and who you want to show up as in the world. Through consistent, gentle, and thoughtful investigation of oneself, there can be considerable growth. The deeper we are able to go together, the more attuned you will become with yourself and others.
I provide my clients with directive, empowering therapy aimed at challenging you to look at yourself in a more introspective and curious way. My clients walk away from therapy with me feeling inspired and motivated to make meaningful change in their life. My main areas of focus include: entrepreneurs, entertainment industry professionals, gay men & couples.

Madeline Taylor, PhD
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
A patient should feel the therapist's genuine interest in him or her, and should gradually come to trust the therapist's open, non-judgmental attitude. My aim is to provide a growth-enhancing environment for patients as we join together to deal with whatever struggles they are experiencing. People in my practice tend to grow in their ability to face the difficulties in their lives. They develop greater confidence in the legitimacy of their wants and needs and in their ability to get those needs met.
