Karen Wachtel

Psychologist, Ph.D

I am a clinical psychologist who offers individual adult psychotherapy, couples therapy, parenting support, and collaborative parent-child therapy. I work with many individuals adapting to and coping with with difficult transitions. This focus includes postpartum depression, the more general set of stresses associated with becoming a new parent, coping with a loved ones illness or challenges, and working through stage-of-life change.

I am a supportive, interactive therapist and enjoy working collaboratively. When working with parents, I focus on helping them come up with active interventions that can address their child’s difficulties and needs.

In addition to providing individual, couples, and parent-child therapy, I specialize in conducting comprehensive neuropsychological/ psychoeducational evaluations for children and young adults. When conducting evaluations I work hard to put children at ease and focus on understanding their strengths as well as their areas of vulnerability. I place emphasis on writing reports and giving feedback to parents in a manner that is accessible and understandable.

Alexandra Rau

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, PC

I’ve been in private practice since 2004, working with adults individually, in couples, and in groups. My style is warm, empathic, and collaborative. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where you can be yourself and share freely. You’ll find me listening intently, asking questions, but also allowing for moments of quiet reflection. My approach is informed by my training in psychoanalysis as well as cognitive behavioral therapies, and I believe that a good therapeutic fit, where you feel truly seen and heard, can be transformative.
