She earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Northeastern University and her Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan.
Taryn has experience working with individuals across the lifespan in a variety of settings, including community mental health and outpatient psychiatric care.

She believes in creating a supportive and trusting therapeutic environment where young people feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.

Committed to compassionate, ethical, and culturally responsive care, Taryn strives to help children and adolescents develop the skills and confidence they need to navigate challenges and build a strong foundation for lifelong emotional well-being.

Licensed Clinical Therapist

Taylor Gilliam

Therapy can be a space to better understand yourself, build practical skills, and navigate life with greater confidence. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, relationship concerns, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, affirming, and individualized, with a focus on helping clients develop practical skills that feel meaningful and realistic in their everyday lives.

I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as your authentic self without fear of judgment. With adults, I provide sex-positive, kink-allied, and identity-affirming care, creating a supportive environment where clients can openly explore relationships, intimacy, sexuality, and the experiences that shape how they connect with themselves and others. When working with children and adolescents, I prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and developmentally appropriate environment where they can express themselves, build emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and develop greater confidence.

Whether you are navigating a major life transition, struggling with anxiety or depression, feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, or simply looking for support as you grow, therapy does not require you to have everything figured out. Together, we can explore where you are, identify what you need, and work toward the goals that matter most to you.

Arpita Chowdhury

Life can feel overwhelming when you are carrying stress, anxiety, sadness, relationship challenges, or major life changes on your own. You deserve a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and talk openly without fear of judgment.

Hi, I’m Arpita Chowdhury, LLMSW. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, adults, and families feel supported as they navigate emotional and everyday challenges. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and comfortable environment where you can be yourself and feel genuinely understood.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, behavioral challenges, and difficulties with emotional regulation. My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, strengths-based approaches, and other evidence-based practices to help you build coping skills, better understand your emotions, and create meaningful change. I believe therapy is not about telling you what to do. It is about walking alongside you, helping you recognize your strengths, understand what may be holding you back, and develop tools that can help you move forward with greater confidence.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Wherever you are in your journey, I would be honored to support you as you work toward healing, growth, and a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Tafazzul Hussain

It is my firm belief that I will do everything possible to ensure that I create a friendly and non-judgmental atmosphere where the child, adolescent, and family feel free to express themselves and share their experiences in a relaxed manner. It should be understood that therapy should be comfortable, cooperative, and motivating, providing a platform in which people can process their issues at their own pace and have the tools required to grow and heal.

Through my clinical experience, I have worked with individuals and families dealing with various issues, including trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, behavior problems, loss and grief, and transition. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Empowerment-Based Counseling, and Grief Counseling interventions are some of the techniques used to help the client gain insights about themselves and learn how to manage challenging feelings.

My therapeutic approach will be compassionate, strength-based, and individually focused, employing interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness techniques, Trauma-Informed Care, and Supportive Therapy.

Licensed Clinical Therapist

Gia Jones

I am a deeply empathetic therapist who believes therapy should help you do more than survive — it should help you feel alive, connected, and present in your own life again. I work from the belief that healing is possible for everyone, especially those who have spent a long time in survival mode, feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of themselves.

I provide therapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you don’t have to hold everything together on your own. My approach is person-centered and collaborative, meaning I meet you where you are emotionally and move at a pace that feels safe and meaningful for you.

I bring experience from both outpatient therapy and crisis intervention, which allows me to support clients through a wide range of concerns — from anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions, to moments of acute emotional distress. My background in crisis work has shaped a calm, grounding presence and a strong focus on safety, compassion, and emotional regulation during difficult moments.

At the heart of my work is empathy and genuine human connection. I understand how exhausting it can be to constantly push through life while feeling emotionally numb, stuck, or disconnected from yourself. In therapy, we work not only to reduce distress, but to reconnect you with your identity, your values, and the parts of you that may have been buried by stress, trauma, or responsibility.

My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and strengths-based, integrating CBT, DBT-informed skills, motivational interviewing, and family systems perspectives. I help clients build coping skills, increase emotional awareness, improve communication, and create healthier patterns — while also exploring deeper themes such as boundaries, self-worth, and relationships.

I am especially passionate about helping clients move beyond “just getting through the day” and toward a life that feels more intentional, fulfilling, and alive. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, reflect, and learn how to live with more clarity, compassion, and purpose.
I am committed to ongoing clinical supervision and case consultation, ensuring ethical, thoughtful, and effective care for the clients I serve.
