Ariel Hayat
Therapist, LMSW
Do you have feelings of anxiety, depression, instability, or codependency within your relationships? Do you want to find the right partner(s) or improve your current relationship but are not sure how? Are you tired of the dating game and choosing people who are unavailable? You want to be able to show up authentically for connection and chose others who can meet you there as well. The truth is you want to build relationships grounded in belonging, acceptance, growth, and healing, but are not sure where to start.
We will dive deep to understand the relationship patterns and attachment styles that unconsciously guide your interactions with family members, partners, workplace colleagues, and even yourself. Together we will develop practices for self-exploration, communication, and connection. You have the inherent capacity and self-knowledge to grow, heal and thrive. I work with clients experiencing relationship challenges with parents, dating, committed relationships, friends and within workplace settings, helping them to create intentional relationships where they feel safe, fulfilled and supported.
I am a trauma-trained therapist with additional training from the Ackerman Institute for the Family, the Gottman Institute, and the Internal Family Systems Institute.
I have a deep commitment to and passion for creating a safe space with individuals from all races, genders, sexualities, religions, abilities, and life paths. If you want to feel more connected, fulfilled and in alignment with yourself, feel free to email me for a free 20-minute phone consultation. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Matt McDavid
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life often asks us to carry more than we should—self-doubt, overwhelming emotions, and the weight of expectations that feel impossible to meet. Maybe you’ve been told who you should be for so long that the person you are feels hidden. Therapy offers a space to let go of what no longer serves you and step into the life you’ve always deserved!
I’m Matt McDavid, and I specialize in helping insightful, creative individuals who are ready to transform their inner world. Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating life’s challenges, or seeking clarity, I provide a safe and supportive space to explore your story, reconnect with your authentic self, and build a life that feels meaningful and aligned with who you are.
My approach is anything but one-size-fits-all. I believe therapy should feel as unique as you are—creative, collaborative, and rooted in trust. Together, we’ll peel back the layers of self-doubt and conditioned beliefs that have obscured your light. You’ll discover the strength, resilience, and self-compassion that have been within you all along.
Using trauma-informed care and a strength-based perspective, I’ll guide you to release the stories that no longer define you and embrace the truth that you’ve always been enough. Through proven techniques like Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, we’ll uncover tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience.
Therapy with me isn’t just about symptom relief—it’s about transformation. My clients often share that our work has redefined their expectations of therapy, helping them feel truly seen and empowered in ways they never thought possible. They describe rediscovering their inner strength, letting go of what isn’t authentic, and stepping into lives filled with purpose, connection, and joy.
I know taking this step can feel intimidating. But by being here, you’ve already shown incredible courage. You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s take the next step together—toward healing, toward clarity, and toward the life you were always meant to live.
Your story isn’t finished. Let’s write the next chapter together.

Rebecca, Mitchell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSEd, SIFI
Frequently, people who have experienced trauma develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival when you were a child, thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family and/or romantic relationships in adulthood. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to transcend patterns that are holding you back from achieving your goals, and realizing your potential. This often includes addressing family, career, and relationship issues within the treatment as well as recognizing thinking and/or behavior which may be harmful or holding you back.
I specialize in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and depression, and am certified in EMDR(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CPT and MI. My practice is influenced by CBT, psychodynamic, Schema, Internal Family Systems and mindfulness-based therapies. We will spend our first sessions exploring important historical information, assessing your needs, and setting goals.
You do not have to sit with your pain in silence, alone. I strive to nurture relationships with clients that are compassionate, kind, and non-judgmental, yet safe enough to tolerate direct but gentle confrontation. Together we will determine the approach and pace that will work best for you.
