Truth Berenson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer counseling and coaching for individuals of all genders, sexualities, racial identities, and family formations. My work is rooted in developing a strong therapeutic relationship. Within the counselor-client connection, clients are invited to explore relational dynamics and to safely become more honest with themselves and others. Through collaboration, I support clients to clearly identify boundaries, honor desires, and expand their capacity to tap into innate resources. My approach is informed by psychodynamic theory, spiritual and archetypal counseling, parts work, creative arts therapy, and goal-oriented coaching in addition to somatic interventions. These coupled with a client-centered and anti-oppressive lens facilitate changes that are both radical and sustainable.
Areas of specialty include: partnership and family conflict, self doubt, guilt & shame, eating disorders & body image, gender, sexuality, LGBTQIA+ experiences, transitioning, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction, attachment, polyamory, family dynamics, interpersonal and communal conflict, spiritual growth, strengthening intuition, political identity, financial stability, transitions, and creative blocks.
My therapeutic style is intuitive, fierce, and nurturing. With passion and humor, I approach each person with deep respect for the grace and grit of human experience and an abiding trust in each individual's capacity for growth and resilience.
I also support couples struggling to navigate both the inevitable and unexpected challenges of partnership. Every partnership has unique strengths and challenges and even the strongest relationships sometimes need help weathering life's hardships, be they related to health concerns, finances, sexuality and intimacy, children, work stress, extended family, etc.
Couples counseling can help partners improve communication, develop a deeper understanding of each other's experiences, increase awareness of intentions and impact, and relate to each other with compassion and curiosity rather than judgment.
I support couples to make collaborative decisions and move through conflict with courage, honesty, and mutual respect.
Partners learn communication and deescalation skills, develop resiliency, and grow as individuals and partners. Together we can identify and heal attachment wounds, explore power dynamics, and build trust.

Alisa Lindenbaum
Art Therapist, MPS, ATR-BC, LCAT, LPAT
For over 16 years I have worked with adults, children, and teens, providing a compassionate, safe, and non- judgmental approach to address issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, loss and grief, life transitions, and more. I offer an integrative approach combing various therapeutic modalities with the creative arts which helps you connect to your fullest potential and find your voice. By combining expressive arts with talk, we can make progress towards your goals even when it feels difficult to find the right words. My younger clients usually make art more regularly, while my older clients often choose to do so more sporadically.
Trauma, both big and small, is an area that I'm incredibly passionate about, and brain research continues to grow supporting the benefits of the creative process which engages both mind and body to heal trauma. More than anything, I value the power of connection with my clients and believe that healing occurs within the context of trust and collaboration.
Therapy can sometimes be hard work, but my office (both physical and virtual) is a warm and supportive environment dedicated to self exploration, growth, and healing. I truly believe in the power of art psychotherapy and look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you and create the growth that you are seeking for yourself or your loved one.

Marina Rozenberg, MD
Therapist, MD
I specialize in working with people who suffer with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. In addition, my background as an internal medicine physician allows me to understand the unique struggles of those in the medical field, as well as those living with chronic illnesses. Using a psychodynamic relational approach, I strive to create a safe space where you can talk about your difficulties, worries and disappointments, and where long-buried feelings and memories from the past that created pain, confusion and anxiety can be supported in the present, thereby easing some of their unconscious hold on how you experience life.
