Victoria Blumberg

As a psychodynamic, trauma-informed therapist and psychoanalyst, I offer a space to explore relationships and the roles one plays in them, honoring strengths and uncovering the meanings that underlie challenging areas. Goals would include connecting thoughts and emotions, to enhance insight into how one moves through one's life and to increase healthier coping skills to stressors. I value diversity including but not limited to race, religion, sexuality, gender, and culture, working to understand how these aspects of identity influence a person’s experience of themselves, to provide an environment that fosters continuous growth in all areas of being.

Joan Lavender

Psychologist, Psy.D.

I am a psychologist and psychotherapist with over thirty years experience as a clinician, supervisor, writer and presenter.

My initial training in dance therapy has taught me that nonverbal behavior can be a path inviting us to a deeper exploration in sessions.

Komal Choksi

Psychologist, PhD

In my private practice I offer psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy in which I strive to create a relationship and process in which it is possible to articulate a narrative of your self and your life that can be experienced as resonant and authentic, towards an alleviation of that which ails you. Your personal, historical, and cultural formation is critical in our exploration of who you are and who you strive to become.
