Our Therapists
Dane Boulo, LCSW-AI value the power of creative outlets to foster growth, resilience, and self-compassion. I incorporate nature, play, movement, and creative arts to help children and young adults express themselves and heal. I am committed to empowering clients to navigate challenges and build positive mental health in ways that are engaging and meaningful to them. I strive to help clients find their voice and achieve emotional well-being.

Julie Bowen, MSWI am passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and their families as they navigate the social, emotional, and developmental challenges of growing up. I believe that meaningful change begins with meeting young people where they are, listening with empathy, and empowering them through their existing strengths.
Julie is scheduling now for session to begin after July 6, 2026. Client fees are reduced if sessions are not insurance reimbursable. [email protected] |
Sam Goodman, MSW, CRCI am dedicated to supporting adolescent and young adult clients across the neurodivergent spectrum. By focusing on creating a collaborative environment, clients learn to live more authentically while feeling empowered to make their own goals and decisions. As a queer person, I seek to provide affirming care for those of diverse identities, specifically members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Ansley Huff, MSWI hope to empower my clients so they can achieve their goals in a way that respects their autonomy and individuality. I believe this can be achieved through cultivating an environment of safety and acceptance. I aim to do this by respecting the pace and preferences of my individual clients.
Ansley is accepting new clients at a reduced rate! Sessions are NOT insurance reimbursable. [email protected] |
Diana Kerolos, LCSW-A
I am committed to empowering people to express their fullest selves and creating a space where every experience is seen, heard, and valued. I believe in the importance of strengthening connections between children and their families and work collaboratively to foster communication and understanding. I embrace and celebrate the richness of diverse cultures and backgrounds, and I strive to honor each person’s unique identity as we work together toward growth and healing.
Diana is fluent in English and Arabic. [email protected] |
Solomon Kobes, LCSW
I started this practice based on my belief that with respect, curiosity, and timing, we can engage young people no matter how closed off they seem. Barriers to engagement include fear, disorganization, self-absorption, anger, hyperactivity, and more. Still all are open to enticement; all crave connection.
By treating young people with respect and curiosity we nurture those same values in them, and in doing so help move them toward more harmonious relationships [email protected] |
Hope McNish, LCSW-A
I am dedicated to supporting
children and families by fostering a safe environment that promotes growth and development for young individuals. I value creating a space where individuals feel empowered to work toward their goals and seek to engage with clients where they are. [email protected] |
Annie Melcher, MSWI believe people are experts in their own experiences and use that belief to provide a supportive environment for children, youth and adults to make decisions that best align with the life they want to live. I approach each person with gentle curiosity and work collaboratively to identify goals, build skills and create an environment for healing, growth and exploration.
Annie is accepting new clients at a reduced rate! Sessions are NOT yet insurance reimbursable. [email protected] |
Sung Moy, LCSW-A
I support individuals and families from childhood to adulthood from a neurodivergent affirming and anti-
oppressive perspective. This means that I try my best to be sensitive and make my clients feel safe. People should be supported to thrive in the way that they need, and my goal is to help my clients empower themselves to develop skills and/or advocate for accommodations. I use techniques from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, Structured TEACCHing, and other modalities; I am always learning new approaches to help my clients. [email protected] |
