Hi, I’m Kirsten Kilroy, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over six years of experience working with adolescents and adults in residential, outpatient, and community mental health settings. I specialize in supporting clients through trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, and ACT, while always tailoring treatment to each individual’s needs.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from the people and things you care about? It can be difficult to know where to begin when you're facing changes or persistent challenges. My role is to meet you exactly where you are, whether you are facing grief and loss, relationship conflict, professional stress, or a major life transition. These hardships often bring about cycles of anxiety and depression. Life transitions can be overwhelming. I’m an LCSW, here to walk alongside you as you break through limiting beliefs and move toward a more expansive self. I also have a deep passion for supporting the creative community—understanding the specific emotional highs and lows that come with being an artist, performer, or creative.

I work with adults 55 and older who are dealing with big life changes — illness, caregiving, grief, retirement, or simply finding themselves in a chapter they didn’t plan for.

A lot of my clients come in because something has shifted. A diagnosis. A loss. The exhaustion of caring for someone else. Or that feeling of, “This isn’t the life I pictured.”

I’ve worked for many years alongside palliative care teams and with people living with serious illness. I understand how overwhelming medical decisions, uncertainty, and anticipatory grief can be.

I also know loss personally. My husband died after a battle with cancer, and rebuilding my own life changed how I sit with others. I don’t just understand this work professionally — I’ve lived parts of it.

Most of the people I see aren’t looking for years of therapy. They want a place to sort through what’s happening, get steadier, and figure out what comes next. We usually work together for a focused stretch — anywhere from a few sessions to a few months.

We meet by telehealth. It’s simple and private, and I’ll handle the logistics.

I am an individual and family therapist with over a decade of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and parents navigating challenging behaviors. I specialize in helping clients manage life transitions and cope with symptoms related to Depression, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and grief.

I view therapy as an opportunity to give yourself the time and space to discover how to heal, and how you want to continue to grow.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individual adults who are seeking support with past and present trauma, depression, anxiety and worry, cultural and identity issues, relationship issues, grief and loss, social-emotional issues, and family conflict.

I am Sunshine Perlis (she/her), a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I have a holistic approach to care because our minds and bodies are interconnected.

I have worked with people diagnosed with psychotic disorders, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, substance use disorder, depression, anxiety, PTSD... but really the population I enjoy working with is the person I am talking to, because everyone is unique.

I am committed to life-long learning and am a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. I also have dedicated myself to a daily meditation practice that helps me develop compassion toward myself and others. It also helps me learn and reflect on myself and my actions toward others and our planet.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience. I've worked in state, federal and hospital settings providing a wide range of clinical services to Adults of all ages. I specialize in Mild to Moderate Anxiety, Mild to Moderate Depression, Stress Management, Corporate Burn Out, Military/Veteran Service Issues Geriatric Specialties, Interpersonal and Cultural matters.

I have been a therapist for about twenty years and have worked with children, adolescents and adults. I most often work with clients that have anxiety, depression, adhd, mood disorders, and history of trauma.

**Only accepting first responders/military/veterans/medical professionals/family members**

You’ve spent your life protecting others. Now it’s time to take care of yourself.

With over 23 years of clinical experience, I specialize in working with first responders, veterans, active-duty military, and family members—those who carry the weight of service, trauma, and high-stakes responsibility every day. Whether you’re dealing with critical incident stress, moral injury, grief, operational fatigue, or post-traumatic symptoms, this is a space where you can begin to offload, recover, and regroup—without judgment.

I offer a straightforward, confidential, and culturally competent approach grounded in mutual respect and trust. I understand that traditional therapy may not always resonate with those trained to "push through," so I tailor treatment to match your mindset and mission-oriented way of thinking.

If you're dealing with sleep disruption, emotional numbing, relationship strain, anxiety, anger, substance use or unresolved loss—you're not alone, and you don't have to carry it all by yourself.

I’m trained in evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care, but I always begin with connection—human to human. Sessions are goal-focused, direct, and geared toward resilience, restoration, and real-life tools that work.

You've stood on the front lines for others. When you're ready, I’m here to stand with you.
