  • Isabel Balazs, LMSW

    My experiences with therapy have informed a belief that curiosity, self-examination, and strong relationships can be vehicles for positive change in ourselves, our families, and our communities.

  • Derek Crichlow, LMSW

    I believe the qualities that make us different make us unique and can be used to our advantage, and it’s through embracing and celebrating these differences in therapy that we uncover deeper healing and personal growth.

  • James Leary, LMSW

    My approach is rooted in the belief that therapy can help people overcome personal suffering while engaging a series of positive questions about what we want from love and work and what makes a satisfying and useful life.

  • Ryan M. Kull, PHD - Clinical director

    Everyone has a need to be recognized and understood, and at the same time, being known by another brings tremendous fears. Therapy needs to strike a balance between a patient's need to be seen by an accepting other and the need to hide parts of themselves until they are ready to be seen.

  • Collin Leydon

    I bring warmth, curiosity, and enthusiasm to therapy, creating a safe, accepting space for reflection and growth. Together, we explore how past experiences shape present struggles, fostering understanding and transformation to enhance well-being and strengthen relationships.

  • EZRA YURMAN-WHYDE, LCSW - clinical director

    I believe the rewards of this work are boundless. Our experiences in this world are often hard to put into language, but in partnership we’ll try. Together we’ll get at the underlying questions affecting your life and allow for the unexpected to emerge.

It is a joy to be hidden, and disaster not to be found.

With deep expertise and strong theoretical foundations, we approach our work with the seriousness and dedication it requires to help our clients achieve meaningful and lasting change. Most importantly, we are highly collaborative, engaging in ongoing learning and support amongst our team members.

Our therapists are finely attuned to the critical balance between a client’s need to be fully understood and to require the space and time to feel safe in the presence of another. We believe that therapy starts here, with being known, in order to find the agency to make meaningful change. Ultimately, Our goal is to help you live a more full and rewarding life.

Very often, our clients come to us with histories of being unseeen, unrecognized, or traumatized by forces that interact between the personal and social environments. we recognize the complexities of each person’s history and present, and generate environments where real progress can be made.
