Hi there! I am a licensed psychologist and completed a doctorate degree in clinical psychology from Adelphi University. I use evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy when working with clients. I specialize in the treatment of individuals with OCD, anxiety disorders, and substance use difficulties, as well as families of individuals who struggle in these ways.
I'm a board-certified psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience in both general psychiatry and addiction medicine. My background spans a wide range of mental health conditions — from anxiety and depression to bipolar disorder and substance use — and I bring a deeply holistic perspective to every patient I work with. I offer telehealth care with flexible scheduling, including early morning appointments starting at 7:30am for those who need care before their workday begins.
Saludos! If you find yourself experiencing social anxiety, challenges with motivation, or perfectionism, I would love to connect with you.
I work with high achieving students, early and mid-career professionals, and people in the healing professions who are hoping to break free from their harsh inner critic. I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their values, build motivation, and liberate themselves from behaviors that hinder their ability to reach their goals.
Hi, I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience in both hospital and outpatient care. I work with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, substance use and more. I’m warm, easy to talk to, and I take time to really listen so you feel heard and supported. My approach is simple—we meet you where you are and work together on a plan that fits your life. I’m committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and look forward to partnering with you on your mental health journey.
I’m Lindsay Bitto, a Doctorate-prepared Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience in patient care. I am double board-certified in Family Practice and Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing, which allows me to take a holistic, patient-centered approach to healthcare.
With 10 years of specialized experience in adult gastroenterology, I have developed a deep interest in the complex relationship between the brain and gut interaction, particularly how these disorders impact overall health. By blending my expertise in psychiatry and gastroenterology, I can provide integrated care for individuals with complex gastrointestinal and psychiatric conditions. I believe that effective care goes beyond treating symptoms; it’s about understanding the whole person and addressing the root causes of illness.
I received my Master’s of Art in School Counseling from Loyola University in May 2000 and I am currently a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland .
I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner in Maryland with a background in both medication management and therapy — and I believe the best care happens when we tailor it to you. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, and depression, and I work with patients who want a provider who actually listens before deciding anything. Many of the people I see found me through their community — they wanted someone they could trust, who'd take the time to get to know them. My approach is warm and direct: I'll tell you exactly what I'm thinking and make sure every session reflects where you are right now.
Whether working with adolescents, adults, or couples, as a licensed clinical psychologist, I aim to provide a warm, non-judgmental environment in which my patients can examine the challenges that have emerged in their lives and explore barriers to meaningful change. I utilize an integrative approach that combines insight-oriented and goal-directed interventions informed by Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Attachment, Relational and Psychodynamic modalities. My couples work draws from Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy models.
Hello! I’m Eunice Virgen, a licensed clinical social worker based in Los Angeles, CA. For the last nine years, I’ve worked in public mental health programs with individuals who are living with chronic mental illnesses. For the last three years, I have been in private practice where I specialize helping women of color process life stressors, mental health problems, and generational traumas, so they can be more intentional in creating the life they desire.
Happiness and joy aren't fairytales. Let's figure out how you can experience them.
I believe there is no one "right" way for therapy and healing, so I offer multiple pathways—talking, movement, art-making, and body-based practices, like EMDR and somatic therapies. Working together we will find what works for you.
