Our Team.
Psychiatrist | Psychoanalyst | Therapist | Founder | Executive Director
Jacob Markovitz, MD
I believe that psychotherapy aims to deepen an individual's self-awareness. Greater insight can decrease painful symptoms, resolve problematic patterns of behavior, and cultivate meaning in life.
My training as a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and psychoanalyst allows me to integrate the biologic, psychologic, and relational aspects of your mental health, increasing the likelihood of meeting your treatment goals.
I offer individual therapy, medication management, and assessments.

Therapist
Madeline Elledge, LMHCA
As an existential therapist, I believe in the innate human drive toward one’s own growth. Understanding our lives in the context of meaning and narrative cultivates space and fluidity within our identities as we move beyond static being and into an open exploration of the never-ending process of becoming.
Phenomenology informs us that although we all live in the same world, it appears differently to each of us based on our experiences, relationships, and the stories we create around them. As your therapist, my intent is to walk with you as we find comfort in the discomfort of uncertainty, learn how to hold opposing truths simultaneously, and suspend the objective as we lean into the richness of your unique subjectivity.
I offer individual, couples, and family therapy. I also provide EMDR therapy.

Therapist
Christa Ellery, LMFT
I believe that psychotherapy aims to empower clients with self-knowledge and self-understanding on their path to living authentically. The inner knowledge and tools gained in therapy can help individuals improve their relationships, identify and live by their values, and live more mindfully in all areas of their life.
My training as a marriage and family therapist lends itself to helping clients deconstruct and understand the systems they exist within and examine how power impacts their ability to share and live by their own stories.
I work with individuals and relationships, and have experience working with clients in diverse relationship dynamics, including kink and consensual non-monogamy.
