Michael A Conforti LCSW
Life is full of twists and turns we never expected to encounter. We feel alienated and out of balance. Sometimes we feel lost and do not know which direction we are facing. Feelings of depression, anxiety, and/or physical symptoms can shadow this experience and lead us to feel more isolated. When we find ourselves in this situation, we tend to view it as if we are stuck. To me, however, we are being called to transformation, and more often than not, we all need assistance as we walk that path.
My practice is built to offer that companionship. I offer an open, caring, supportive container to assist you in making the change your life demands.
As a Jungian analyst, I emphasize depth psychology. I am a relationally oriented therapist who believes that suffering is a purposeful function of being human and must be embraced if we are to find the golden nugget in the pain we experience.

Alexa Dolinko LSW
My goal is to bring a genuine attitude and an open mind to my patients. I am here if you are struggling with acute issues such as trauma or grief, or if you simply feel stuck, adrift, or need someone to talk to. I have experience working with patients struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, chronic illness, self-harm, suicidal ideation, addiction, trauma, and grief. I focus on building a therapeutic space where whatever needs to surface can arise, and I work with clients to identify strengths and uncover self-defeating patterns. My style is warm, reflective, and collaborative. My theoretical approach is rooted in Jungian, psychodynamic and relational depth therapies, and I believe that the therapeutic relationship creates an invaluable space that allows for honesty and authenticity.
