Nick Hebert, LCSW

I am providing both telehealth and in-person services. Over time, we all develop stories and ideas about ourselves, others, or the world.

Han Tran, Ph.D.

I am providing both in-person and telehealth services. Do you tend to be self-critical, with an internal dialogue that is harsh or judgmental?

Jessie Simonetti, Ph.D.

I am currently out on parental leave/NOT taking new clients at this time; expected return October 2023.

Kids and parents alike are coping with what it means and how it … Read more

I exclusively provide telehealth services and can help you check whether your insurance will provide coverage. How do you speak to yourself when you’re going through a hard time?
