Time to see yourself in a different light
Whether you are new to therapy or starting over, we are so glad you found your way here!
Julie Naquin, LCSW
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or navigating a life transition that feels harder than expected? Whether you're adjusting to a new role, coping with a major change, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I’m a licensed therapist who provides a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed approach, and I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you better understand yourself and build practical tools for change.
I take a values-based approach to therapy, helping you reconnect with what truly matters to you and use that as a guide for making decisions and moving forward. I particularly enjoy working with adults and young adults navigating life transitions such as starting college, changing careers, becoming a parent, or going through a divorce.
Together, we’ll work to increase your sense of clarity, develop healthier patterns, and build a more meaningful, balanced life that aligns with your values.

Louise Lever, LCSW
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I enjoy working with older teens and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions—both big and small. I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and grounded in where you are right now. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches while always staying attuned to you as a person, not just a set of symptoms. I practice from a trauma-informed lens, and I am trained in CPT and EMDR, while also gently integrating tools and strategies from CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and values-based approaches. Therapy can hold deep and meaningful work while still leaving space for warmth, curiosity, humor, and moments of genuine connection. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we move at your pace toward healing, clarity, and meaningful change. I look forward to supporting you as you take this next step.

Heejin Yun, LPC
Life can get messy, and it’s normal to feel stuck, anxious, or unsure of what’s next. But even when things feel heavy, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I work with teens and adults who are ready to move past the overwhelm and start feeling like themselves again. I provide a comfortable space where you can be yourself, paired with the actual tools you need to handle whatever life is throwing at you. Whether you are dealing with a big life change or just feeling burnt out, I am here to help you find your way forward. I specialize in helping people navigate the complexities of OCD, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, as well as managing anger and family conflict. We will work together using a mix of traditional talk therapy and various therapeutic interventions tailored specifically to your goals. In my practice, I draw from a variety of evidence-based methods, including CBT, DBT, ACT, and ERP, as well as Art Therapy for those who find creative expression helpful. This balanced approach allows us to utilize clinical skills to tackle difficult thoughts and manage stress, while keeping the door open for creative processing when words aren't enough. If you are ready to take that first step toward feeling better, I am ready to help. Please reach out today, and let’s get started.

I encourage my clients to be themselves, without any fear of judgement during our sessions together.

SANDI FARRELL, LCSW-S
A lawyer turned therapist? Throw in a stint as a SAHM of four, and that’s me-a lot of life experience and new beginnings. My educational background in both law and social work reflects my ability to think analytically and my passion for helping others. My therapy philosophy can be summed up in one phrase: it’s never too late to be better. To learn new ways of coping, to relate differently to the past, to improve relationships, or to understand your most foundational beliefs and ways of being in the world. This is what therapy is all about.
I work with adults of all ages and older teens to help make sense of life’s experiences and see them as a source of strength and resilience, while building authentic and connected relationships and working toward goals collaboratively. I integrate elements of multiple modalities in order to tailor therapy to the client's needs, personality, and goals.

AREGNAZ MALAKYAN, LPC-R
If you're reading this, you may be going through a difficult time — or simply searching for a space to reflect, grow, and reconnect with yourself. Either way, I'm glad you're here.
With a focus on depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship difficulties, I work with clients across the lifespan—from children to adults—helping individuals and families build resilience and healthy connections. My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that healing is not just possible — it is an inherent right. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, all through a Trauma-Informed and Strength-Based lens. I also integrate Solution-Focused techniques and always strive to tailor our work to meet your unique goals and needs. At the heart of my practice is a person-centered philosophy: you are the expert of your life. My role is to walk beside you, helping you uncover the inner strengths and wisdom that may have been silenced by fear, hurt, or self-doubt. I believe, as Carl Rogers said, that “the good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” Our work together isn’t about fixing you — it’s about supporting you as you move toward the life you want to create. I see therapy as a collaborative journey, where healing begins through validation, resilience is nurtured, and meaning is rediscovered. Together, we’ll explore patterns, beliefs, and past experiences with compassion and curiosity — and begin to reshape the narratives that no longer serve you. This is not about becoming someone else — it’s about reclaiming who you’ve always been. Together, we will move forward—one step, one meaningful conversation at a time.

DANA MCINVALE, LCSW-S
I believe therapy is most effective when children feel understood, supported, and empowered to build on the strengths they already have. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where children and adolescents can develop confidence, strengthen coping skills, and navigate challenges with support from their caregivers and support systems.
I take a person-centered approach grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work with children and adolescents to better understand their emotions, identify patterns that may be impacting their daily lives, and develop practical skills to manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, and life transitions.
I have experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, behavioral health needs, and diverse communication styles. I enjoy adapting therapy to meet each child's unique strengths, developmental needs, and goals while collaborating with families to support meaningful and lasting growth.
Whether your child is experiencing emotional, behavioral, or social challenges, I provide a supportive and strengths-based environment where they can feel heard, build resilience, and develop tools to thrive.

Somayya Marzyie
Clinical InternI am passionate about supporting children and adolescents as they grow, helping them build social-emotional skills and navigate challenges like anxiety, identity, and peer relationships.

My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, focusing on actionable strategies for daily life to strengthen emotional regulation and foster a positive environment.

Walk and Talk Therapy is a Holistic approach to therapy that offers a unique therapeutic experience. Being outdoors acts as a calming natural environment, as you breathe in the fresh air and feel the warmth of the sun. You might find that the stress, worry, or fears you are experiencing slowly start to fade away as your body naturally starts to heal. This approach helps people learn how to use the outdoors/nature as an opportunity to think about things in a more positive way.
