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."

Francia Telesford
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.

Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Why did no one warn you about how hard the transition to parenthood was going to be? You often feel that you’re not doing a “good enough” job and wonder why other parents seem to have it all figured out. You may not have had the pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience that you wanted. You love your baby more than anything but you don’t always love being a parent.
I’ve been there. Therapy is a resource that helped me feel less alone as I navigated the immense changes that came with becoming a parent. I’m a queer mother of twins and my lived experience with fertility challenges, perinatal loss, birth trauma, NICU parenting, and perinatal mood disorders drew me to this work.

Haley Carroll
Psychologist, MS, PhD
I offer a supportive and evidence-based approach to help clients navigate post-traumatic stress disorder.
My clinical expertise encompasses a wide range of behavioral and cognitive behavioral (CBT) therapies. I also specialize in evidence-based treatments for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), including Prolonged Exposure and Cognitive Processing Therapy.
I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with extensive clinical and research training. I completed my doctoral studies in Clinical Psychology at the University of Washington, with a focus on diversity science. My internship at Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital centered on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I pursued a postdoctoral fellowship in Global Psychiatry at Boston University Medical Center.
Currently, I am an Assistant Professor based in Seattle, Washington, at Boston University. My research explores the impact of migration on mental health, in collaboration with Universidad del Pacifico in Lima, Peru, and Boston Medical Center. This work informs my culturally sensitive approach to therapy.
