Brainspotting EMDR

Veronica Ingrao

My approach to counseling is client-centered. I am committed to providing high quality counseling, drawing on elements from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Somatic (mind/body) Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral approaches. I will partner with you on your recovery journey, whether it means considering harm reduction or integrating an abstinence or faith based model. I offer evening and weekend appointments via HIPPA compliant telehealth platforms. Most of my clients have been able to get full reimbursement for insurance I am not in-network with (IE: Aetna). I'm happy to provide a superbill for you to resubmit.

Stacy Karp Mosher

I have specialized training in perinatal and maternal mental health. Our work together will be full of compassion, empathy, and trust. I’ll ask a lot of questions and sometimes hold space for silence. We’ll laugh and possibly cry, we’ll feel uncomfortable at times and we’ll lean into it. I’ll honor exactly where you are in the moment while gently encouraging you to go out of your comfort zone (when you’re ready). Through it all, I will meet you exactly where you are at and support you in growing towards where you want to go.

Felicity Colangelo

I primarily utilize CBT and mindfulness/relaxation techniques to help you shift the way you perceive your experiences and provide you with tools to use anytime you feel anxiety taking hold. The approach is always modified dependent on the individual's needs and severity of symptoms.

Kate Matthews-Clark

I am committed to helping clients create positive change, emotional growth, and peace in their lives. I view the counseling relationship as collaborative and aim to create a space in which clients feel safe and supported to be their authentic selves, without fear or judgment. My approach is warm, person-centered, empathetic and empowering. You are the expert of your experience, and my role as a counselor is to help you tap into your inner wisdom, build skills, feel heard, and empower you to use your strengths to build the life you want. My approach is holistic and includes mental, physical, social and spiritual aspects. I align with CBT, Narrative, Existential and Mindfulness-based practices, and work with teens and adults on a number of presenting issues. Specific areas of focus include: anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationships, self-esteem, and body image issues.

With a touch of sarcasm, a healthy dose of humor and a jumble of letters (CBT, DBT, eclectic, strengths based, solution focused), we can ensure that YOUR needs will be met therapeutically to help you achieve the goals that YOU have. You are the captain of your ship and I am your rudder to help guide you, while you steer. Seriously. I know that you have it in you to make the changes you want, you just might not know you have that strength yet.
