Hi, I’m Tomeker, a nationally certified counselor and a licensed professional counselor with a natural desire to help and support those I work with. I function from the person centered approach, acknowledging the patients ability to problem solve. I have been trained in EMDR and evidenced based practices to treat PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
I bring over 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families in education and counseling settings, and I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges in a supportive, practical way. I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem struggles, stress, burnout, family conflict, attachment wounds, emotional overwhelm, and people-pleasing patterns.
My goal is to create a space where clients feel comfortable being honest, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful change. I especially enjoy helping clients strengthen boundaries, build emotional resilience, break unhealthy cycles, and move toward lives that feel more balanced and authentic.
Hi, I’m Dr. Linda Wickens, a doctoral-level therapist and coach who works with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck while preventing forward movement and growth. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or frustrated that change feels harder than it should.
Therapy and coaching with me are never one-size-fits-all. We work collaboratively to create a plan that is specific to you, your goals, and your capacity, adjusting pace and structure as your needs evolve. I focus on helping clients understand their patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop practical skills they can actually use in daily life.
I hold a Doctorate in Social Work and am a fully licensed clinical social worker, with over nine years of experience in the mental health field. My work integrates evidence-based therapy with a coaching-informed lens when appropriate, allowing sessions to be both supportive and goal-oriented while still making space to explore the past and its impact on the present.
Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and collaborative. As part of my concierge model, clients work directly with me rather than an assistant, and I remain accessible to my clients outside of sessions through secure communication when needed. I believe growth happens through understanding, compassion, and honest conversation, and that progress is most sustainable when care feels personal, intentional, and consistent.
Please Note: I do not provide couples or marriage counseling. Additionally, I am not able to treat clients who are experiencing active suicidal ideation or self-harm behaviors. If these services are needed, I encourage seeking a provider who specializes in these areas or contacting appropriate crisis resources if immediate support is required.
Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.
Whether it's individuals or couples, I'm happy to get to work with whomever comes my way. I do my best to facilitate a warm, trusting environment. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. Looking forward to meeting with you soon!
Reaching out can be hard and I am here to help begin the process of healing and being there to help us become a better you. My goal and desire is to help teach you and provide you the essentials to overcome your obstacles. When life gets overwhelming at times, we forget to take care of ourselves. Depression and anxiety does not have to be a part of your everyday life.
Everyone has a story and sometimes parts of that story can feel heavy, confusing, or overwhelming. I became a therapist because I believe every person’s story deserves to be heard, understood, and worked through with others. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, past trauma, or major life transitions, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I work with both adolescents and adults to create a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.
I'm Jay—a licensed counselor who helps you untangle the stuff that's been weighing on you, sometimes for years. I bring a mix of real-world experience (corporate, government, clinical) and genuine curiosity about what makes you tick. Whether you're navigating a life transition, working through relationship challenges, or just trying to figure out your next chapter, I'm here to work alongside you.
s your therapist, my priority is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered. I bring nearly a decade of experience in social work and mental health, with a focus on community care, grief, life transitions, and addressing disparities in treatment for the BIPOC community.
My name is Shirley Bradley and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Woker in the state of CT and a Licensed Independent Social Worker Clinical Practice in the state of SC. I graduated with a Master's Degree in Social Work from Fordham University in 2012. I am a very well-rounded therapist, working with patients with substance abuse, psychiatric issues, depression, anxiety, family therapy, children in crisis and hospice/end of life planning with patients and families. I also have a lot of experience with grief/bereavement support groups.
I have a Ph.D. and 25+ years of experience working in mental health and related fields. My overall goal is to provide a trusting and caring environment where we will work to address some areas and seek healthier connections. I want to empower and provide you with tools to accomplish goals. In prior years, I have worked with youth in foster care and adoptions.
