I hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology and have extensive experience across multiple settings including hospitals, universities, and private practice. I work with adults with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma, and am best suited to work with clients looking for a more directive approach to therapy. I am trained in EMDR , Level 1 IFS trained, and have completed Level 1 Gottman training. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61537142bcd8b651b112b205/1636813401259-01ML7Y6WRTWZZSVKE7X3/Screen+Shot+2021-11-13+at+8.22.39+AM.png Team - LICENSED CLINICAL PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR Marissa Faustini, LCPC Starting therapy can be daunting. People often seek a therapist because they are experiencing distress of some kind. This distress can take many shapes: anxiety, grief, difficulty moving through a big life event, coping with a chronic medical or mental health condition, relationship issues, workplace stress and burnout, isolation. My approach to therapy involves creating a safe and supportive space to look at and learn from this distress. This may involve finding patterns that have kept you struggling, healing from past harms, and exploring and expanding your existing strengths. I see therapy as both a tool to alleviate distress and pain and a vehicle for deeper self-reflection and authenticity. In my work I am committed to building warm and nonjudgmental spaces with people who may have previously struggled to access a therapy they found affirming or effective. I strive to create a relationship that honors your unique personhood. I recognize that the search for a therapist and reaching out can be a vulnerable experience. Finding the right fit is important! I welcome you to contact me with any questions and to find out if we might be a good fit for your unique needs and goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61537142bcd8b651b112b205/a8463a2e-2d23-4dba-91ce-3ee671336742/Omsiah+Photo.jpeg Team - LICENSED CLINICAL PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR Omsiah Alghadban, LCPC Opening up to someone is not always easy, especially if it is someone you do not know. In sessions, we work together to build a therapeutic relationship so you can feel at ease and comfortable sharing your experiences with me. You will always feel supported and cared for in our sessions. I will lend an ear when you need it most. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for all my clients. A place for you to feel comfortable enough to share anything and everything. I use an integrated approach to our sessions because I believe therapeutic interventions are not one size fits all. If you're interested in reaching out, please do so. I am currently accepting new clients both in-person and in telehealth. I hope to hear from you soon, as well as help you on your therapeutic journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61537142bcd8b651b112b205/fa6945c3-0c3f-4a31-bc70-68f58f1b8f59/Ty+Photo.JPG Team - LICENSED CLINICAL PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR Ty McCullum-Johnson, LCPC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61537142bcd8b651b112b205/1636813021450-64AMW4Q3OT2ZY1QIHTYW/Screen+Shot+2021-11-12+at+2.48.05+PM.png Team - LICENSED CLINICAL PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR Inas Abuhasna, LCPC You won't hear "It's going to be okay, I know how you feel, you will get over it" when you come to me. I understand that the hour you pay for is your hour and you will get the chance to say whatever it is that you want to say guilt-free. Saying things out loud to a trained listener will help you understand your world view in a different way. In turn, you will develop insight and coping skills. I have experience working with clients dealing with anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma, dysfunctional relationships, parental challenges and behavioral challenges. I, also, work with children individually using play and art therapy techniques to develop emotional understanding and increase their ability for regulation. Going through therapy offers a chance to be free of emotional pain and the ability to find meaning in your relationships, work, and all other life areas. By creating a safe environment and a collaborative relationship, we can work together in finding your own solutions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61537142bcd8b651b112b205/afe71ea0-9997-460e-8cc1-42872ee43ee9/Heather+Photo.jpeg Team - LICENSED CLINICAL PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR Heather Wolf, LCPC I can help you navigate through past experiences, and even on-going ones, that are affecting you today. I use evidence-based and holistic practices and I am committed to providing services to individuals (children age 7 through adults) that are accessible, culturally relevant, and free of stigma or judgement. I am here to help, I use different types of therapeutic interventions-tailored to your needs. I enjoy working with children, and also helping people process grief-no matter what has brought them their grief. I also work with those dealing with anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder and school/social difficulties. If you wish to have a safe, comfortable and confidential space to talk, please consider putting yourself first and schedule your first appointment with me. You will be listened to, heard and acknowledged. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61537142bcd8b651b112b205/52294d00-2c17-4f5a-afda-ac5665e3a991/Sarah+Photo+2.JPG Team - LICENSED CLINICAL PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR Sarah Durkin, LCPC It’s my belief that almost everyone can benefit from therapy if they are interested.

I see every client as the expert of their own world and strive to provide a space in which clients feel comfortable and free to readily explore their concerns. I feel strongly that you do not need to struggle endlessly or on your own. Therapy can help you work through difficult times and meet goals you have for yourself. Let’s connect! I use an integrative approach, pulling from different frameworks/theories to find what best meets an individual’s unique needs.

You may have grown up being told that seeking therapy is a sign of weakness, but in reality, it shows courage to confront your struggles. Therapy can help you address hardships directly, preventing them from impacting other areas of life. Navigating your life's journey and finding yourself can be overwhelming. There's no shame in seeking help. I believe in the power of therapy to guide you through challenges, develop coping strategies, gain new perspectives, and utilize your strengths effectively. My experience spans working with children, adolescents, and adults dealing with mental illness, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions, with a focus on multicultural perspectives. I'm dedicated to supporting marginalized communities, including Arab and Muslim populations, where mental health remains a sensitive topic. Each person has a unique story that shapes them. Everyone deserves support in understanding their experiences and gaining control of their journey. Let me help you achieve a deeper understanding of your life's narrative. You deserve to feel understood, safe, and in control of your life's journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61537142bcd8b651b112b205/2621f9a6-9022-4e4c-a4cc-eb193687b2a5/Salah+Photo.jpeg Team - LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR Salah-Aldean Abdullah, LPC Sometimes all we really want and need is someone to listen to us, allow us to feel our pain, allow us to feel heard, allow us to be human. Cherly Richardson once said, “People start to heal the moment they feel heard.” I believe that creating a safe space to be your true self without judgment is essential to healing and growing. I have worked on Depression, Anxiety, Stress management, ADHD, Eating disorders and mindfulness work. I have a background work with domestic violence, child abuse & neglect, PTSD, and personality disorders. I utilize an eclectic approach of CBT and psychodynamic therapy. My focus is on the underlying behaviors of your subconscious to help heal and grow. Sometimes we feel or believe that no one really cares to listen to us or about our issues, but I assure you that I care. I will stand by your side and endure with you on this journey to healing, growing, and finding that inner-peace, when you’re ready. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61537142bcd8b651b112b205/7c6b140a-2283-473d-bd4b-9c731d71aaf6/Sara+Alqawasmi+Photo.jpeg Team - LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR Sara Alqawasmi, LPC Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're navigating emotional stress, relationship tension, or uncertainty about your next step. You may be feeling stuck, anxious, or simply in need of clarity. My goal is to offer a space where you feel supported and truly heard, so you can begin to move forward with confidence. I specialize in working with individuals and couples—helping them untangle complex feelings, strengthen communication, and heal from relational wounds.

I have witnessed firsthand in both my professional and my personal life the ways in which life struggles can affect our mental health, and how mental health struggles can impact our ability to manage daily stressors and relationships. Seeking therapy can be a difficult step to take. I see therapy as a tool, among many, to support and create the change you desire for your life. I love guiding my clients as they learn to highlight their strengths, welcome new perspectives, and learn new ways to cope. I have over 10 years of experience working with adults & adolescence struggling with mental illness, daily life stressors, life transitions, multicultural issues, self-esteem, and trauma. I enjoy working with diverse populations, including Arab-Americans & those experiencing marginalization. I also work with couples to help navigate relationship challenges.

I invite you to walk with me on your journey and allow me to support and empower you as you seek to understand the challenges you face and live a life that feels authentic, secure, & meaningful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61537142bcd8b651b112b205/76044633-a4fc-4851-a38d-2db49df87ef2/Rama+Photo.jfif Team - LICENSED SOCIAL WORKER Rama Atieh, LSW We all want to be healthier versions of ourselves and improve our overall wellbeing.
