My name is Kate. I am a psychotherapist with 20 years experience in the field. My practice is LGBTQI+ focused, though clients of all identities work with me. Clients come to me to reduce distress and bring ease into their lives. I practice affirmative therapy that is trauma-informed, nonjudgmental, and direct. I view therapy as a collaborative journey towards self-discovery, healing, and symptom relief. During our first therapy session, we will outline your goals, discuss your expectations, and leave plenty of time for you to ask questions. We will create a therapy plan together that provides an environment for you to explore needs, process your past and present, and identify new approaches to challenges in your life. I utilize psychodynamic psychotherapy, behavioral therapies such as DBT and ACT, and attachment-focused psychotherapy. I believe therapy is an evolving process between client and therapist, and methods can shift as therapy unfolds. I conduct all sessions remotely via zoom. I have current availability for individual sessions and gender affirming surgery letters.

I am a queer, Black licensed mental health professional with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John’s University. My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse cultural, racial, and socio-economic backgrounds. I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating trauma, exploring identity, and working through interpersonal challenges. I have particular expertise in working with women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. As someone who has also been on the other side of the therapeutic relationship, I bring a deep understanding of the vulnerability and transformative potential of this work. My approach is relational, inclusive, and culturally responsive. My work is grounded in compassion, empathy, and a strong commitment to creating a non-judgmental, affirming space.

I specialize in supporting busy students balancing school, family, work, and personal expectations. Many appear “put together” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted inside. If you’re navigating big life changes, feeling pressure to succeed, or struggling to ask for help, you’re not alone. My therapy offers a safe, compassionate space to explore your feelings, build resilience, and learn self-care skills to help you thrive both academically and personally.

I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute phone call to answer your questions and concerns, discuss your insurance, and make a recommendation based on your needs. Whether you feel stuck, stressed, or unhappy for too long, I will assist you to identify your goals and figure out the way to change. As a licensed bilingual (English/Chinese Mandarin) psychologist with more than 10 years of experience, I have the highest level of doctoral training to help people from diverse background to overcome the challenges and live the best life possible. I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and family with relationship concerns, stress, depression, anxiety, self esteem, anger, life transitions, emotional disturbance, trauma, and work related issues. I implement evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic strategies in an effort to best meet your unique needs. I look forward to working with you in a safe and supportive environment where you can feel free to share your thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behaviors. Give me a call, email me, or visit my website. Let's open the door of possibilities and changes!

Hi, I’m Helena Chang, a second-year clinical master’s student of social work. My approach is all about understanding the “why” behind the challenges you’re facing. By exploring your environment, past experiences, and childhood, we’ll uncover patterns and gain insight into what’s shaping your thoughts and emotions. This self-awareness becomes the foundation for meaningful growth and change. Once we’ve built that understanding, we’ll work together to develop tools and skills that feel practical and empowering for you. I like to mix in strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to make sure we’re not just reflecting, but also taking action to help you feel more confident and in control. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and understood. We’ll work as a team to help you grow, heal, and move toward the life you want. Helena Chang is a therapist-in-training at Sol Health. Sol Health is a digital health startup that offers $30 therapy to Gen Zs by connecting them with therapists-in-training accruing clinical hours.

I support college students who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, burned out, or unsure of where they’re headed. College is a time filled with personal and professional growth, but it can also bring up a lot stress about grades or the future, pressure to succeed, struggles with self-doubt or imposter syndrome, and challenges in relationships with family, friends, or romantic partners. You might be feeling like you're supposed to have it all figured out, but the truth is, it’s okay if you don’t. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or just trying to keep up with everything on your plate, our sessions can be a space to slow down, reflect, and get the support you need. I believe therapy works best when we work together, so I take a collaborative approach to help you identify your goals, track your growth, and adjust as needed. Together, we'll work to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected.

I believe that each and every individual is unique, from the issues you face to the path in which life has taken you. I apply this idea to every client that I work with. I work hard to listen to your struggles, help you process the emotions you may be facing, and collaborate to find solutions that are going to be the best fit for you. I look for clients who are open to an equal amount of support and challenge from their therapist, as I believe both of those ideas are vital to making positive growth in life.

I love my work and look forward to helping people who are looking to make their lives just a bit sunnier. We all have struggles but they don't have to weigh us down to the point where it is hard to let in joy, happiness and fulfillment. I work with clients to develop acheivable goals using my available tools as a therapist such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Yoga Therapy where appropriate. I see people of both sexes and all ages but seem to have developed a specialty of working with people in their 20s and 30s.

Entering your next level of education is a wonderful thing yet even good things can be stressful or scary. This is especially true in the current climate of Covid-19. Whether it's about school or something else in your life, there's a strength in knowing that you need help with it, as evidenced by you're being on this site. I'd be happy to talk for 15 minutes by phone or video and then, if you like, we can set an online appointment.

No matter what the circumstances, stress and worry have a way of creeping into our minds and bodies. Whether it’s old wounds, unwanted patterns of behaviors, or the pressures of recent circumstances, if you need someone to truly listen— objectively and with care — you’ve come to the right place. As trained and qualified professionals at Marsh Psychotherapy, we are here in whatever format you need, offering video and phone sessions to protect your physical wellbeing, while we focus on your emotional wellbeing. Just as we would through in-person therapy sessions, our therapists will listen and engage in a productive dialogue. We will help you process your concerns in a safe and non judgmental environment.

As a therapist, I focus on creating a safe, welcoming space where you can be yourself and work through life’s challenges at your own pace. I have a background in supporting clients through a range of challenges, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and trauma. When I’m not working, you’ll find me petting my cats (Avo & Loki), getting out in nature, being with loved ones, or getting lost in an art project. As a therapist, I tailor sessions to meet the unique needs of each client. In sessions, I focus on creating a good vibe while helping to explore strategies to help you cope or work toward your goals. I am part of a therapy practice called Resolute Mental Health, which has a dedicated team available to help with insurance and administrative support. We also offer psychiatry services at Resolute if a referral is needed! Please feel free to reach out if you would like to work together :)

Anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma are some of the most challenging issues to live with. In my work with individuals, families, and couples I've had the opportunity to help guide my clients through these struggles and begin experiencing more fulfilling lives. I also have experience working with clients on body-image-related issues and deconstructing the standard idea of beauty. If these issues are relatable to you, please know you are not alone. It is extremely courageous to take this first step to seek help and guidance. As a marriage and family therapist, I believe that relational work can be an incredible way to embark on a healing journey. No one lives on this earth alone, nor should we feel as though we do. Strengthening or rebuilding our relationships, even the one we have with ourselves, can positively impact our lives in incredible ways.

Are you unmotivated by everyday tasks and struggle to find where you belong in your social group? When you look in the mirror, do negative thoughts such as “I’m not enough” or “I feel hopeless” roam inside your brain? Do you find yourself freezing up in social situations, wishing you knew how to react? In a society plagued by institutional racism, gender inequalities, and generational differences, it is common to feel disheartened, anxious, and angry at ourselves and the world around us. By reaching out and prioritizing self-care, we can create a safe space to process difficult emotions and learn to manage your reactions.

You may feel stuck, uncertain about yourself, overwhelmed by life transitions, or carrying the weight of the past. These moments hold emotional truths that deserve to be seen, heard, and understood. When we meet them with care and curiosity, they can become powerful entry points to deeper self-discovery and lasting self-compassion. The process of turning inward, increasing self-awareness and self-kindness, can be complex, but it often opens the door to meaningful growth. My role is to offer a safe, judgment-free space where this kind of exploration can unfold. I feel honored to walk alongside individuals as they reconnect with the parts of themselves that may feel lost, silenced, or in conflict. My approach is person-centered and psychodynamic, grounded in empathy and with a deep respect for your unique story. Together, we’ll explore your inner world at a pace that feels right for you. Individuals often share that they feel at ease in our sessions, able to speak freely, even when the emotions are difficult to name. Therapy with me is a collaborative process, grounded in trust, where you can feel empowered to take steps that align with your values. If you're ready to begin, or even just curious, I welcome you to reach out!

Life isn’t going quite the way you planned. You’re feeling overwhelmed and maybe even a little afraid of everything right now. Your anxiety is heightened and you feel trapped and helpless when you go to face the day. No matter how lost or uncertain you feel, just know there is always hope. Whatever you’re facing and whatever you’re feeling, talking through this tough time can give you the perspective and understanding you need to move forward.

I specialize in working with people who experience intense emotions like anxiety, sadness, or anger in response to life changes or adjustments. If you're looking for a psychologist who incorporates evidence-based practices while flexibly tailoring treatment to meet your unique problems and background, you've come to the right place! Whether you want to stop worrying or feel more confident, we'll consider how your inner emotional world interacts with the greater cultural context surrounding you. Let's meet if you're open to changing your thoughts, habits and perspective- or simply want someone to understand your point of view!
