Colleen Lang, Ph.D.
Practice Founder
Our goal as a practice is to help clients identify and capitalize upon their ability to cope with emotional distress and live fulfilling lives. I myself practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with adolescents, adults, couples and families. I specialize in interpersonal trauma and its impact on how people view themselves and their relationships. Many of my clients also struggle with depression, anxiety, OCD, panic, relationship difficulties, ADHD or have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and/or have a history of self-destructive and impulsive behaviors. A primary goal in my work with all clients is to help them experience and respond to their emotions with new thought patterns and more effective behaviors. I strive to be compassionate, while change-oriented, and to use evidence-based interventions in a way that is tailored to each client's individual history and difficulties.
Jessica Lubitz, Psy.D.
Associate Clinical Director
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in CBT with adults of all ages, including young adults and older adults, experiencing anxiety, depression, insomnia, grief, and work and relationship stress. I also work with couples who are experiencing difficulties communicating and stress in their relationship. I aim to provide an empathic and collaborative environment to help my clients reach their therapeutic goals and gain a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors and how these impact their day-to-day lives. Furthermore, my clients will learn and practice tools they can use to work through difficult life circumstances and effect positive change in their lives that lasts beyond the course of therapy. My background includes extensive experience and training working with a variety of clients, allowing me to modify treatment to each client’s needs and preferences.
Michal Barnea, Psy.D.
Staff Psychologist
I am a licensed psychologist specializing in evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families to address a wide range of psychological and emotional difficulties, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-destructive and impulsive behaviors. In my practice, I foster a warm, non-judgmental environment and focus on building a trusting therapeutic relationship; I believe that feeling heard and understood helps clients progress towards their treatment goals and make meaningful change in their lives. I tailor interventions to meet each client’s unique needs and promote independence, such that my clients would continue making gains long after they complete treatment.
Rebecca Brodoff, Psy.D.
Staff Psychologist
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and specialize in using evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I see children, adolescents, and adults, and am particularly passionate about working with teens and young adults. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety (all diagnoses), depression, OCD, body-focused repetitive behaviors, insomnia, ADHD, self-destructive/impulsive behaviors, or have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I work to help each child and adult client feel comfortable and heard – I understand how daunting and intimidating it can be to begin therapy. While taking a non-judgmental and collaborative approach, I work with my clients to help them identify unhelpful patterns and develop new, more effective responses so they can live the lives they want to be living.
Jenna Hennessy, Ph.D.
Staff Psychologist
I am a licensed clinical psychologist extensively trained in evidence-based treatments that I use to form the foundation of compassionate and change-oriented therapy. My goal is to help individuals feel empowered to recognize unhelpful patterns, foster self-compassion, and learn new ways of relating to themselves and others. I use a strengths-based approach to figure out what is already working and collaboratively identify what we can work on shifting (with a healthy dose of sarcasm and humor.)
I primarily practice Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help adults struggling with anxiety, life transitions, trauma, depression, and interpersonal stressors. I am also extensively trained in Virtual Reality therapy (VR) for the treatment of anxiety disorders and OCD.
I work through a trauma-informed, identify-affirming and sex-positive lens to create a space that is non-judgmental and welcoming of your most authentic self.
Lavinia Marchis, Psy.D.

I am a licensed psychologist and a bilingual certified school psychologist with experience in providing evidence based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Rational Emotional Behavioral (REBT) and Dialectical Behavioral therapies (DBT) for children, adolescents and adults. I work with a wide range of psychological and emotional difficulties including anxiety, depression, ADHD, relational and family problems, as well as behavioral challenges.
My approach is collaborative and supportive, and I am very sensitive to cultural differences. I am committed to tailoring my therapeutic or assessment approach to your specific needs and helping you with a specific problem or achieve balance or growth in your life.
Monica Shah, Psy.D.
Staff Psychologist
I am a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist specializing in evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). My clients have included youth and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, binge eating, OCD, body image, assertiveness, emotional regulation, and general stress from school, work, and relationships. I also work with parents and families to address interpersonal and communication difficulties. Through warmth and non-judgment, I develop genuine and trusting relationships with my clients. Together, we examine their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how to approach these in a way that better aligns with their goals and values, while facing the challenges of life. Applying concrete tools and new ways of understanding, I use a collaborative and compassionate approach to help my clients build the lives that they want to lead.
