Hello There ! My name is Tanya Edwards. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have accumulated over 15 years of clinical experiences with diverse populations. My practice focus areas include issues attached to depression, grief, distorted self-image, career challenges, parental caregiving, friendship transitions, and entering new life stages. My practice is geared towards empowerment for growth, sustainment, and more growth!

Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow.

I am a creative and compassionate psychotherapist who works with clients to unlock previously obscured strengths, untapped potential and energy blocked by behavioral patterns, beliefs that no longer work, and the impacts of grief, loss and trauma. Together we will find ways to enhance what is going well in life, understand what is not and move toward the goals that you aim to achieve.

Welcome to a transformative journey towards emotional well-being and healthier relationships. I’m Kim Perkins, a dedicated psychotherapist specializing in couples therapy, anxiety, depression and PTSD. With 19 years of experience, I offer a compassionate and evidenced-based approach to help individuals and couples navigate through life’s challenges. Take the first step towards positive change today. Your well-being is my priority, and I look forward to assisting you on your path to a brighter tomorrow.

Therapy I feel is a chance to learn and shift patterns in our lives. Relationships are a key part of life but are difficult on many levels and we learn the way that we communicate with other from our experience. Learning and understanding that experience can help us make the changes that we would like to see in life. I believe in having an open space free from judgement were people can explore who they are and learn how to use that to change their lives and their relationships with others. I work with people from all different perspectives and believe that we are the products of our experience and that we can find ways to change the patterns that are not helpful for us. Communication is key in relationships but it is something that we have trouble with but are not always aware of the impact. Learning patterns, identifying the meaning that we put to our experiences and seeing our strengths are ways that allow us to become the person that we want to be without losing who we are.

Hello, I'm Lori Aaron-Brass. My intention is to create an environment where you feel comfortable to explore your problems without being judged. In my counseling practice, I strive to help people gain self-understanding and develop a stronger sense of well-being and life satisfaction. My goals are to help you better understand your problems, identify obstacles to attaining your personal goals, and support you in the process of making positive changes in your life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a person-centered philosophy, grounded in compassion, collaboration, and respect for each individual’s unique journey. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership—where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. In our sessions, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where we can explore your challenges together and build practical tools for growth and healing. As a bilingual therapist, I offer services in both English and Spanish, helping clients feel fully themselves in the language that’s most comfortable.

I listen and try to understand your situation and learn what it's like to be you. I can offer suggestions but I won't tell you what to do. I believe that my clients know what they need to do to help them heal, it might not be clear right away but after I am able to understand your problems we can work together to find solutions. It's a big step to seek counseling and to go into therapy. I respect everyone who wants to improve their mental health and well being. It isn't easy to seek help and allow oneself to be vulnerable and share ones' experience. I have listened to thousands of people and I am delighted hear everyone's story to see how I can help.

My goal is to help my clients find joy, happiness and peace no matter what they are experiencing or have experienced in their lives. I work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, transition and change and those with feelings of low self worth, lack of confidence, loneliness, confusion and despair. You will not always feel the way you do today and there is light in the darkness. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you.

Hello, my name is Tiffany Fernandes, and I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in providing evidence-based therapy approaches to help individuals overcome anxiety, depression, and develop effective coping skills. My experience in the field includes working as a counselor in a residential treatment program, and as a licensed therapist and clinical coordinator in an outpatient mental health treatment center. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I integrate both Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) techniques to empower individuals on their journey towards mental wellness.

From an early age, I discovered a strong passion for helping others. During high school, I was deeply influenced by my favorite teacher, a student of renowned psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg, best known for his theory on the stages of moral development. Her mentorship inspired me to pursue a career in the helping professions, where I could make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. I went on to earn my undergraduate degree in Human Services with a minor in Gerontology, laying the foundation for a career focused on compassion, advocacy, and evidence-based practice. Over the years, I have specialized in working with individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma, including emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.

I have worked as a therapist for outpatient mental health clinics in both New York and Connecticut, served as a clinician for a psychiatric rehabilitation center, and a clinician for the NYS court system.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to helping individuals, teenagers, and families navigate the complex challenges that life often presents. With a deep understanding of trauma informed care, I have dedicated my career to supporting those who have experienced emotional, psychological, or developmental trauma, offering a safe and supportive environment where healing and growth can occur. My work with teenagers involves addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, peer pressure, identity development, and family conflict, while also fostering emotional regulation, communication skills, and self-esteem. I also provide guidance and therapeutic support to families struggling with relational breakdowns, parenting challenges, and intergenerational trauma, using a strengths based and systems-focused approach to promote resilience and connection. In my work with adults, I help individuals process complex emotions, rebuild their sense of safety, and move toward a life of empowerment and meaning. Whether providing individual therapy, family counseling, or group sessions, I strive to create an atmosphere of trust, cultural sensitivity, and non-judgment, recognizing the unique story and journey of every client. I draw on evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and trauma-focused interventions to help clients build skills, improve functioning, and work through past wounds. My goal is to not only help clients survive their experiences, but to thrive despite them to discover their inner strength, reconnect with their values, and write new narratives of hope and possibility. I believe that healing is a collaborative process, and I am honoured to walk alongside my clients in their journey toward mental, emotional, and relational wellness.

As a lifelong learner, I continuously update my knowledge and skills through ongoing professional development, ensuring that I can provide the most current and effective interventions to my clients,

I bring something to individual and couples therapy that is rare today and not from a text book, that is lived experience. In drawing from different evidence based schools of thought in combination with my lived experiences we will employ such modalities of therapy such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Adversity and struggle are situations that are common. The goal to avoid both would be ideal but that is not reality. Peace and calmness in the mist of adversity and struggle is a possible reality and what we will strive to help you achieve.

It means client know I am available when they have need. I do have clients who have seen me weekly for years not because they are dependent on me but because they have found benefit in processing their life regularly. I have had a successful personal practice for years and can offer clients the space and reverence to unpack the most unpleasant things to reorder them in a way they no longer can cause harm as they once did.

Also, every late cancellation or no-show accrues a late charge fee.

It is the policy of Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, that our professional relationship will be terminated after a one-month consistent lapse of meeting with a client. Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, will attempt to notify you of this change in status as soon as possible after one month. My ethical duty is identifying, being available, and caring for current clients. It could feel awkward for our relationship to end, yet it is not meant to be discourteous in any way. I do not complete disability forms (Social Security, work excuse, FMLA, Court papers/legal papers, emotional support letters, etc). NO COUPLE THERAPY OR MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, PLEASE!
