The primary issues she works with include mood disorders (anxiety, depression, etc.), behavioral issues, interpersonal issues, family life, and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy.
Tina Brigham LCSW, SAC
Psychotherapist
Tina strives to create a warm, comfortable, and trusting environment. It is important to her to tailor therapy to individual needs. She utilizes collaboration, teamwork, the mind-body connection, and strength-based approaches to foster an environment of empowerment, understanding, and authenticity. She typically combines talk therapy with psychoeducation in order to help clients process experiences, build skills, and gain insight. Tina finds value in looking at the symptoms, rather than the generalized diagnosis, and is skilled at “digging deep” to help understand patterns of behavior, thoughts, and belief systems. She also has a passion for identity exploration work and assisting patients in pursuing their authentic self. Tina adheres to trauma-informed care, diversity competency, and is a LGBTQA+ ally. She is confident that her unique approach to therapy, combined with her skill set, can be a good match for you.

Dr. Abigail Ream
Psychologist, PsyD
Welcome to our site! I provide adult patients with individual therapy specializing in the areas of trauma, loss, transitions in life, relationship difficulties, clarification of life goals, and self-esteem. I will work to assist you in identifying your own strengths and how to nurture and harness these strengths to meet your unique goals for therapy and life. You have a wealth of knowledge about what works and what does not work- I’m here to help organize this information in a useful way and help you fill in the blanks or help problem solve areas where you might be stuck. I’m ready when you are.
Dr. Joanna Love
Psychologist, PhD
I understand that assessment is an ongoing and collaborative process. I share the knowledge I have gained through my education and experience, so clients understand what informs my practice. I am very transparent with my perspectives, so clients shouldn’t have to wonder what I am thinking. I am far more interested in understanding the unique individual rather than focusing primarily on the specific diagnosis or problem.
Dr. Heidi Heimler
Psychologist, PsyD
Recent or remote trauma may be limiting you socially, professionally and/or interpersonally. If you’re struggling with emotional symptoms, I’m here to help. I offer evidence-based psychotherapy to assist you in regaining a sense of balance and wellbeing. Whatever your struggle, I am here to listen, to provide support and psychotherapeutic treatment tailored to meet your unique emotional needs.

Dr. Lori Garfinkel
Clinical Psychologist, Licensed Professional Counselor
Dr. Garfinkel works to holistically create a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space for the person to include all aspects of their lives to help them reflect on their struggles and draw on their personal strengths to bring about change. She believes that most people have the tools within themselves to make meaningful progress in therapy and, for most, problems in living can effectively be resolved through an outsider’s perspective and by drawing from the person’s inner perspective on their experiences.
Dr. Kavitha Venkateswaran
Psychologist
When we are enduring personal struggles, oftentimes we are searching for a sense of understanding within our relationships. Dr. Venkateswaran takes an interpersonally-rooted, culturally-informed approach to therapy in an effort to help you feel deeply understood and to honor your identity and life experiences, as we work collaboratively to reach your goals.
