Bradford A MarkowitzMA, LPC

As a clinician who specializes in relationship issues and self-esteem, I am a focused, engaged, and passionate helper. I work with my clients to explore self-defeating thoughts that contribute to their life challenges, with the intent of achieving a more balanced (and “fair”) interpretation of themselves and their surroundings. As a classically trained cognitive behavioral therapist, I am a firm believer in the notion that past traumas play out in our adult lives.
I have a strong comprehension of the challenges that disrupt mainstream middle-class individuals, as well as the impact that such challenges place on their family systems. I find it particularly inspiring to work with individuals and families who are interested in exploring and improving themselves and their relationships.
My approach works particularly well with adults and families who wish to achieve insight and relief from challenging dynamics, cognitions, and behaviors that result in compromised relationships.

Ashley FeinMA, LPC, CAADC, CCDPD

In our society, we tend to see asking for help as a weakness. I completely disagree with this as I feel that asking for help is difficult and, therefore, a very brave thing to do. I have over 10 years of experience as a therapist. I love my work and feel passionate about helping people become their best selves. I have experience working with a variety of issues including trauma, general mental health, and substance abuse. My goal is help people heal and learn from the past while making changes in the present in order to live healthier and happier.

Michael W. BaconMA, LPC

I work with individuals using a “Person Centered” approach to treatment that seeks to identify strengths and meet each individual where they are. I believe we are able to work through and understand our own needs in our own way, so that we can better understand our story within the context of our lives to enact positive change. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples. I have experience working with Depression, anxiety, PTSD, various serious persistent mental illnesses, and developing social skills and boundary setting skills in interpersonal relationships.
I also utilize a lot of Cognitive behavioral therapy techniques as a part of my practice to better understand the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and the role they have in our everyday lives. As a part of my approach I find it essential to use a trauma informed approach to help account for and understand how trauma affects our lives.

As a Licensed Social Worker my goal is to empower individuals and promote human potential. My experience includes working with dually-diagnosed children and adolescents, many of whom are navigating life transitions, behavioral challenges and emotional distress; as well as adults who are feeling challenged by life’s hurdles. I am a strong advocate for individual empowerment, but also look to how we can grow through our eco-systemic support systems.
