Dr. Mike Abrams
Psychologist, PhD, MBA, ABPP
I limit my practice to a few clients with whom I can offer meaningful help. I do not think it is ethical for a psychologist to agree to work with someone who has a problem outside of their expertise or someone who has barriers that the psychologist suspects they cannot overcome. When I conclude that I can help someone, I collaborate with them while applying the most appropriate methods for their problems. I choose these methods from among the many I have studied or developed. This is sometimes called a Transdiagnostic Integrative technique. Here, a clinical label or diagnosis is less important than the unique collection of symptoms a person is living with. I also make sure that I come to understand the client's point of view, how their adversities, their personal philosophy, and their level of suffering combine to lead to their anxiety, depressed mood, or even anger. When the client agrees, I prefer to use psychological testing to be sure my assessment of the client's situation is supported by the best available science. When I conduct psychotherapy, I know it can only be effective when I view the client as presenting many intricate problems that must be fully understood, so each client's issues are approached as scientific hypotheses that guide therapy, which guide my specific interventions, but is always open to revision as new life history information or psychological data becomes available.
Since I have trained numerous therapists and continue researching and publishing in the field, my clients are assured they receiving the most effective evidence-based interventions. If you do see me, you can be confident that you will be unconditionally accepted in a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship with every effort being made to help you.

“People can cry much easier than they can change.” -James Baldwin.
Change can be hard, brutal, and ugly, especially when trying to go it alone. Change is something that is easier said than done. We all get to various points in our lives when we must make that change in order to evolve from the feelings and/or situations that we need to transition from.
My goal is to support you while navigating those changes in your life in a safe and nurturing therapeutic relationship where you can gain the skills needed to reach your mental wellness goals. I believe that YOU are the expert in your life. I am simply here to offer insight and to help guide you to the answers that reside within.
I am an educator, a therapist, and a certified Parent Coach with a specialization in children and families. I have over 20 years of experience working in a variety of settings with a diverse mix of needs which include, speaking fluent teen lol (adolescent therapy), parenting skills, helping separated couples co-parent, family systems, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and defiant behaviors.
We all have challenges that we need to get through. My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, open, and honest. I believe that the best work is done in a trusting and nurturing relationship. I want to support your ability to grow, find your voice, and build confidence so that you are equipped to face your challenges with the tools needed for success.

Christina Andino
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You’ve been doing all you can to improve your situation, but it seems like you’ve hit a wall. The constant weight of anxiety, depression, or past trauma is taking its toll, affecting your work or studies and your connections with others. Burnout is creeping in, and you’re realizing you need some extra support. Maybe therapy is uncharted territory for you, and it’s natural to feel jittery about taking that first step. Together, we can devise a strategy to tackle and alleviate your stress. I’ll equip you with valuable tools for coping, communication, reshaping your perspective, and adjusting behaviors. My aim is to empower you, putting more control back into your hands over your own life.

Brad Croyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
We all experience problems in life. Therapy can help address your issues to create a happier, meaningful and fulfilling life. People seek therapy for many reasons including depression, anxiety, past trauma, overwhelming emotions, difficult life transitions, feeling stuck, relationship, and family issues, and other mental health issues. We can work to resolve issues, reduce stress, and move on. No issue is too small or too big. Therapy offers the opportunity to learn about oneself, access your inner strength and lead the fulfilling life that you want. We can work to meet your needs in a warm, supportive and caring environment.
During our sessions we will explore current and past problems to find the source of what is keeping you stuck or unhappy. Together we will break unhealthy patterns and resolve underlying issues that are keeping you from living your best life. I will be your guide making sure that you are on your path to restore your joy and go where you want to go in life.
I use EMDR and Holistic methods to build hope, resilience, and insight. I help clients explore their struggles, recognize their strengths and increase self-awareness in a safe, non-judgmental and supportive space. I believe that we can resolve your problems and re-define who you are today. You can move beyond your past and can get your life back.

Morgan Avis
Registered Social Worker, LSW
In my therapeutic practice, I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ identifying folks with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. I take an intersectional approach with clients to understand client's varying identities and how they interact with one another to create the client's perception of themselves and the world around them. I also like to utilize Systems therapy, where I examine with clients how they are impacted by the various interconnected systems in their lives, including but not limited to family, work, community, and societal structures. Through these means, I support clients in developing coping strategies and challenge their ways of thinking, so that when they leave my practice, they have strong skillsets in place to utilize even after sessions are completed.
