Julia Cannon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
As a therapist, my goal is to build a nurturing and inclusive environment where you feel genuinely heard and valued. In my practice, I’m dedicated to helping you navigate your challenges with a blend of evidence-based therapies and a holistic perspective. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques, along with Liberation Health Theory, to support your personal growth. Whether you’re dealing with body image issues, relationship struggles, depression/anxiety, navigating neurodivergence, or trauma, my goal is to empower you to embrace your true self and make meaningful progress. I’m here to meet you where you are and guide you through your journey. I often use humor in our sessions to help make things feel a bit more relaxed. It’s all about finding a balance—supporting you through challenges while keeping things approachable. Nobody wants to feel like they’re talking to a wall! I show up authentically in sessions, hoping that you can too. I frequently discuss the effects of capitalism on mental health, acknowledging how it often exacerbates stress and inequality. We all need help navigating a system that undervalues rest and self-care. Understanding that systemic structures influence our lives, I strive to be a thoughtful ally, continually educating myself to offer the most supportive and empathetic care possible. I prioritize creating a supportive environment where authenticity and humor are key, making our sessions both effective and approachable. My goal is to guide you through your journey towards greater self-confidence and growth, meeting you wherever you are. If you're ready to take the next step in self-discovery and growth, let’s connect and see how we can work together. Book your first session with me today by visiting my website!

Andrea Kamins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, MSW
People often come to therapy feeling anxious, depressed, stuck or overwhelmed and aren't sure why. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma/complex PTSD, and childhood emotional neglect (CEN). I particularly enjoy working with highly sensitive people (HSP), neurodiverse individuals, and adult survivors of childhood trauma. I enjoy working with adults age 21 and older who are motivated to create meaningful change in life and work, and deepen self-understanding. My clients enjoy my direct, warm style and sense of humor.

Sarah Nehdi, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Sometimes, we all need a little perspective. When you're overwhelmed with pain, sadness, and/or anxiety, it can feel impossible to move forward. Having someone in your corner who can help motivate and support you throughout the change process can make all the difference.
I know taking the first step to find a therapist isn't easy and I don't take that show of strength lightly! With my (attempted) sense of humor and deep respect for my clients, I hope to create a welcoming space where you can embrace who you are right now and then find ways to transform your life to reflect your best self.

Elizabeth Tener
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
If you are dealing with ongoing sadness and fear, grief, unfulfilling work or unhappy relationships, you do NOT need to live under those shadows. For 30+ years, it has been my honor to help adults of all ages, orientations and cultural backgrounds lift that darkness and free the motivated, life-affirming and fun-loving parts of themselves that are already there to be uncovered. I use the Internal Family Systems model (more info: ifs-institute.com) and Imago therapy for couples. I use the resources of clients' spirituality, however, they experience it. I listen carefully and quietly, checking often to see if the clients feel heard, witnessed, and understood. My interventions strive always for greater healing, eventually transformation.
