Ali Swoish

Mental Health Counselor, M.A., Ed.M., LMHC

My clinical work is grounded in disability justice & the neurodiversity paradigm. Taken together, these movements teach us that diversity of bodies & brains are essential to the human experience. I specialize in complex trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, identity exploration & transitional stress. I have a particular passion for working with performers, including dancers, actors & other creatives, as well as athletes.

I approach therapy from a relational psychodynamic perspective, meaning I help clients understand how past relationships & early experiences shape their current emotional well-being, relationships & sense of self. My commitment to intersectionality, accessibility & autonomy means that I tailor my approach to each individual’s unique identities & desires.

Saira Bhatti

Psychiatrist, MD

My ideal patient is one who is struggling in their day to day lives and is looking to make a change. That change can be in the form of therapy, medication, or a second opinion- I provide my medical recommendations and suggestions, while respecting your choices and autonomy. Making that first phone call, typing out that first email, making it to that first appointment are tremendous steps that are often the most difficult to make. Why not make the rest of your journey easier with someone who you can trust?

I enjoy working with those clients that have many different mental health and life challenges going on at once and helping them to become more self-aware and empowered to make edits to life where necessary!

Joan Lavender

Psychologist, Psy.D.

I am a psychologist and psychotherapist with over thirty years experience as a clinician, supervisor, writer and presenter. Three elements that distinguish my work are the emphasis on Experiential Process (which has been shown to be an essential factor in the psychological change process) and the appreciation of Relational experience (the client's significant relationships, as well as our relationship, of client and therapist.)
My initial training in dance therapy has taught me that nonverbal behavior can be a path inviting us to a deeper exploration in sessions.
