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.

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.
