Elizabeth McInnes

Are you looking to reflect, learn more about yourself, understand the patterns in you life, and determine which you want to keep and which no longer serve you? Let's understand what's affecting you in the here and now, reflect on the past and how this may be influencing your responses, and build on your strengths. Let's come up with goals and identify strategies to reach those goals. I use an integrative approach pulling from CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic/relational therapy.

Deanna Aliperti

I blend a variety of therapeutic techniques—EMDR, CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy—with a touch of humor— to create a dynamic, personalized approach to healing.

My goal for you is to become your most authentic self–intentional, empathetic, vibrant, and engaged with the world. For me healing is about ongoing evolution, reconnecting with yourself, finding inner peace, and feeling whole and worthy as you are.
