A small team built around the lifespan. Each clinician brings a distinct clinical lens and a defined area of depth, with backgrounds that genuinely expand what the practice can hold.
Our clinicians
LCSW · Licensed Clinical Social Worker & Clinical Supervisor
Diane Spell
Individuals · Couples · Families · Children & Teens · Spanish Language
For individuals and families who want care that is warm, structured, and built to restore steadiness across the lifespan. Diane has worked in the field since 2010, with deep experience in trauma-informed care, child welfare, family systems, and bilingual therapy. She also provides clinical supervision for associate-level clinicians seeking more than compliance.
Practitioners who take this work seriously, in different ways, for different reasons.
LCMHCA · Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate
Vladimir Tikhtman
Couples · Career & Life Transitions · Adults · Older Adults · Teens 16+
Gottman-informed couples therapy, and career and life-transition work, for adults who want therapy that holds pressure, meaning, and real-world complexity without drifting into abstraction. Vladimir brings more than twenty years in healthcare leadership, strategy, analytics, and organizational dynamics before becoming a clinician. That background shapes how he works: directly, with a bias toward clarity, and with genuine understanding of what it costs to carry responsibility for others.
School-age Children · Preteens · Teens · Young Adults · Parents & Families
For school-age children, teens, and young adults working through anxiety, overthinking, big emotions, or the everyday strain of school and friendships. Lauren has spent more than five years with younger clients and their families across school and outpatient settings, building practical skills that hold up in real life. She keeps parents appropriately involved, so the work in session is reinforced at home.
Vladimir works primarily with adults and couples working through reinvention, identity, grief, role strain, burnout, and the emotional weight of high-pressure living.
Diane works across the lifespan with individuals, families, children and teens, and Spanish-speaking clients, with particular depth in parenting, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
If you're unsure who to reach out to, the consultation process is designed to make that clearer.
