Dr. Nancy Lardo, PhD, Director

Licensed Psychologist

Fostering the connection with one’s “deeper spirit” is significant in the therapeutic process. My training includes Bioenergetics, Gestalt & Psychodynamic therapies, although my desire to learn more about the human condition began long before my life as a therapist. I've had many roles in education, including conflict resolution and leadership advice, where peacemaking is often overlooked. I believe in honoring each other's differences, forgiveness and trust.

Harlee Abromson, LCSW, Director Emeritus

Licensed Clinical Social Worker & Therapist

I believe exploring the past helps us understand why we think, feel and behave in the ways we do today; this exploration can, in turn, help us reach the goals of our work and dreams. In my practice I often combine a psychodynamic approach with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. 

Harlee Abromson, LCSW, Director

 

 

Matthew Adams, LPC

Compassion & Change

Being human, our task is to navigate the darkness and light of our experiences, to find both the wisdom and value with which we might transcend isolation and reach simple human connection, fellowship, acceptance, and love. Therapy, for me, provides a supportive framework for this process. 

Matthew Adams, LPC

 

 

Marisa Costa, MET, LPC

Master of Expressive Therapy & Licensed Professional Counselor

My work with adults of all ages draws on the expressive arts, motivational and strengths-based therapies, and cognitive behavioral and trauma-informed therapies. The resilience of the human mind and spirit have long inspired my understanding of healing processes.

George Dalzell, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker & Therapist

Solution Focused Therapy keeps things simple: it's future-focused, goal-oriented, and looks directly at the solutions you want to achieve in your new life. The past is considered only to the necessary degree as we focus ahead. My clients are diverse individuals and couples, including the LGBTQIA community.

Nicholas Demaio, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Whether facing depression, anxiety, grief or struggling with life transitions or addiction, the healing process begins just the same: right where we are. A contemplative model of engagement, honoring the immediate moment and mindfulness can reveal our genuine goodness, natural dignity and innate wisdom - our brilliant sanity. 

Nicholas Demaio, LPC

 

 

Dr. Megan Dufford, PsyD

Doctor of Psychology, Licensed Psychologist

The fulfilled life of being and belonging may appear different for each of us, but we will know we are growing as our wounds heal, our peace and stability return and our lives become connected again to the values that make us feel most alive. With self-compassion & acceptance, we can journey toward your greatest potential at this present moment. 

Dr. Megan Dufford, PsyD

 

 

Katelyn Elliott, NCC, LPC

National Certified Counselor & Licensed Professional Counselor

We may not be able to see the beauty or understand the meaning of our lives until we take a step back, with another set of eyes, and see our story from a place of compassion. It is then we can appreciate, even love, our fate. I believe exploring personal experience - how we exist in the world, the meaning we find or choose to create in our lives - is a process we can develop together. 

Katelyn Elliott, NCC, LPC

 

 

Adria Fredericks, MEd, LPC

Master of Education & Licensed Professional Counselor

The success of most therapy has to do with the human bond. With twenty years of seeing children, adolescents, adults and couples in therapy, I have worked extensively with all levels of mood and personality issues and major life changes. The possibilities of deep transformation are endless. 

Adria Fredericks, MEd, LPC

 

 

Jinna Leo, MEd, LPC

Master of Education & Licensed Professional Counselor

Heart centered counseling can open us to new experiences for healing in the mind, body and spirit. Based in Gestalt therapy, the process is an open dialogue, a non-judgmental and holistic sharing that seeks to receive the authentic you. My experience over the years is that the possibility of renewed understanding exists for most situations. 

Jinna Leo, MEd, LPC
