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 therapy. I also provide EMDR therapy.

Therapist
Christa Ellery, LMFT
I believe therapy is about empowerment. Whether you're navigating major life changes, relationship challenges, or questions around identity, I work collaboratively to help you move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. Therapy can provide the inner knowledge, skills, and emotional grounding to help you live more intentionally and be more present in your relationships, work, and inner life.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I value paying attention to the stories and systems that shape us, from family dynamics to larger cultural pressures. I work with individuals and relationships, and have experience working with a wide range of relationship structures including kink and consensual non-monogamy.
I aim to create a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you can explore what matters most to you. I am currently accepting new clients and would be glad to connect.

Psychologist
Ryan Lubock, PsyD
I believe that psychotherapy should focus on the root causes of your suffering by increasing insight into yourself. Understanding how your past informs your present and the challenging relational patterns we fall into can provide an opportunity to decrease suffering and increase your sense of purpose and value.
My training as a clinical psychologist informs how I am able to tailor treatment to the needs of the individuals I work with by helping them reach their potential.
I offer individual therapy and am accepting new patients.

Psychiatrist | Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist
Amanda Seely, MD
I believe each of us carries an innate drive toward healing and growth. Yet life can lead us into patterns of avoidance, self-criticism, or perfectionism that obscure this potential. The path forward often begins by reconnecting with the inner wisdom we already hold. My role is to help you identify and move past the obstacles in your way. I offer practical tools, a compassionate presence, and insight into the often invisible drivers of behavior so that you can rediscover meaning, purpose, and vitality.
I welcome people from all walks of life and with a wide range of concerns, with particular expertise in treating eating disorders and supporting members of the LGBTQ community. Whether through psychotherapy, medication management, or both, I view you as a whole person - always within the context of your relationships, communities, and environment. My perspective integrates biological, psychological, structural, and spiritual dimensions to support lasting change.
I offer individual therapy, medication management, and psychiatric assessment.
