Jyotish (Tish) Wiertella

My approach to therapy: Provide a unique experience that draws from a blend of modalities including EMDR, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness and more. Aim to provide a space where you can feel comfortable being fully authentic in order to feel confident in other settings. Through this journey you will also be provided with alternative perspectives that are rooted in trauma informed care.

Michael Keaveny

My approach to therapy: I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which is a model that helps people become more aware of their thoughts and emotions and to learn how to manage them in a way that creates a sense of peace and freedom. I try to balance insight development and teaching practical tools for managing distress.

Dr. Brett Swords

My approach to therapy: My approach isn't about rigid protocols or just nodding along. While I use evidence-based methods like CBT, ACT, and DBT to offer practical strategies, my approach is also deeply human and relationship-centered. I believe lasting change happens when we combine science-backed tools with an in-depth understanding of your unique experiences and needs.

Dr. Melody Caldwell

My approach to therapy: Person-Centered, meaning that I want to meet my clients where they need me. I provide empathy, validation, and unconditional positive regard. I support individuals to focus on the solutions in life instead of the problems.

Charles Baird

My approach to therapy: I value being solution-oriented in my practice, while also working from evidence-based approaches that seek the best outcomes possible. I realize counseling is an investment of your time and resources and take that seriously.

Dr. Kelly McAleer

My approach to therapy: Therapy with me isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you. It’s a space for self-inquiry—a place to tend to what’s been buried, minimized, or pushed aside. I meet you where you are and help you move toward insight, healing, and a more connected sense of self. My work draws from a range of modalities and unfolds at a pace that feels right to you.

Dr. Natasha Shukla

My approach to therapy: I don’t believe there’s one ‘right way’ to do therapy. I work with each client to find what resonates for them—whether that’s talking things through, trying new strategies, or reflecting on patterns. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and able to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Dr. Nazia Denese, Ph.D.

My approach to therapy: I’m a Harvard-trained psychologist with about 10 years of experience. I help 20 & 30 somethings with anxiety, OCD, trauma, ADHD, depression, family/cultural dynamics, perinatal mental health, and parenting. My therapeutic style is based in science and empathy. I provide LGBTQIA+ affirming care and identify as Asian American.

Lina Ehlinger

My approach to therapy: If your emotions feel overwhelming, relationships feel hard, or your past still shows up in painful ways, you are not broken and you do not have to do this alone. I specialize in trauma and Borderline Personality Disorder, using science-backed therapies to help you feel more stable, connected, and back in control of your life.

Reed Maxwell

My approach to therapy: . . . I use an integrated mix of evidence-based cognitive-behavioral interventions in context of an object relations-oriented conceptualization of relationships and personality. I am specifically trained in transference-focused psychotherapy.
