Ariel Meltzer, LSW, CTP
Associate Clinician

Pronouns: she | her | hers

Specialties

A beautiful thing about our bodies is that our bodies can talk to us. Our bodies can provide us with data that can be beneficial to our mental and physical state of being. Breaking down and analyzing that data can be key to understanding what we need to help ourselves.

We can discuss trauma recovery, relationship intimacy (including monogamy, polyamory, and open relationships), sex positivity, BDSM and kink, peer relationships, family relationships, body image, anxiety, stress, depression, self growth, and life transitions. I also specialize in working with Deaf & Hard of Hearing (D/HH) folks, issues in D/HH identity and culture, and parents and family members of D/HH children. I can provide therapy in American Sign Language (ASL).

Join me on a transparent, attentive, and open path as we work together to unleash the magic of YOU. It all begins with you. There is no time like now.

Yvette Murry, LCSW
Senior Clinician & Life in Balance Coach

Pronouns: ze | zir | zem & she | her | hers

Therapy is an organic and dynamic process. Often people seek therapy to gain more clarity related to a particular aspect of their life journey. No matter the reason, therapy offers a sacred judgment-free zone to allow you to pause and shift from “doing” to “being in the present”. In our work together, we will explore where you are today, and strategies to manifest where you want to be in your future.

I work with individuals and couples who seek to improve the quality of their lives and relationships.

I do not believe in the “one size fits all” approach. We will co-design a plan to reach your unique hopes, goals, and dreams for the future. I utilize a client-centered, strength-based & solution-focused approach. My clients have said they find my style to be warm, supportive, engaging & collaborative.

My services are grounded in culture. While I welcome all clients, some clients express their appreciation for having the opportunity to work with a therapist who is able to be an ally based on shared lived experiences.

In our work, you will be encouraged to be curious. Through curiosity, you will achieve enhanced self-awareness and personal insight.

I believe we all have what we need inside to live our best life. I would be honored to be a small part of your journey.

Michael Simon, LCSW, LCADC
Senior Clinician

Pronouns: he | him | his

Current research indicates that the single greatest factor leading to successful outcomes in therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. Together, we’ll create a safe, compassionate, judgment-free therapeutic space for you to breathe, reflect, and be heard. Even when the room we share is virtual, it’s a room where you can feel comfortable to explore at your own pace, cultivating a practice of self-acceptance and self-love as you move forward.

EMDR: 

When a traumatic event occurs, the brain goes into survival mode (fight or flight) and the prefrontal cortex goes offline. That’s why memories of the event may be spotty, out of order, or nonexistent, and why a traumatic event may appear not as a memory but as a cluster of symptoms. EMDR is a type of psychotherapy that allows you to process these unprocessed memories so they can be effectively stored away.  Research has found that this type of therapy has been one of the most effective ways to treat trauma and relieve symptoms.

EMDR can also be applied to unpleasant associations, intrusive thoughts, OCD, and other issues.

ARTISTS/WRITERS: 

What if your needs are met and it’s time to pursue your dreams? We can explore the artistic/literary pursuits that might have been deprioritized because of crisis, external challenges, self-doubt, or a feeling that you didn’t deserve to do what you want. We’ll unpack the myths of “success” and “failure,” map out the steps of your artistic process, and find ways to integrate your creative self into your life.

LGBTQI+ Issues

For those of us in the LGBTQI+ community, it can be challenging to find comfort and safety in a world that is often negating—and even hostile—toward queer people. Psychotherapy can provide a new sense of hope for each of us.
