Who We Are

Julie Bindeman, Psy-D

Founder/Co-Director

I have experience working with a variety of areas of concern including: reproductive challenges (infertility, pregnancy loss, and post-partum issues) depression, anxiety, self image, body image, adjustments, and issues around life transitions. I have extensive experience working with both adolescents and adults. I view effective therapy as a collaborative effort and continually seek out feedback as to how treatment is progressing. Since I believe that there is a strong connection between body and mind, I incorporate mind/body integration techniques, such as yoga and relaxation, which can relieve stress, anxiety and numerous other issues.

Nanci Brown, LCSW-C

Founder/Co-Director

I believe that everybody has the right to live up to their full potential. Sometimes, at certain points in our lives, we get stuck or we find ourselves repeating self-defeating behaviors. Sometimes we may feel as if no one understands us. Coming to therapy is the first step in making changes and gaining insight. I tailor my approach to each individual using an integrative framework. I am best suited for clients who are looking for a warm, insightful and interactive journey. I have significant experience with adolescents, adults and couples with varying issues and also have a special interest in helping recent parents adjust to their new roles. I have training in traditional and progressive approaches and am a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist. In addition, I am very interested in the mind body connection and have training in yoga therapy.

I’m a Reproductive Psychologist: but I’m not on the Zulresso bandwagon

My specialty is reproductive psychology, as several clinicians that I work with also specialize in. So one would think that I should be "over-the-moon" happy about the new FDA approval of brexanolone (brand name, "Zulresso"). Two years ago,…

Grieving during the “Happiest Time of the Year”

There is no good time or easier time to grieve. The first year is especially hard as new “firsts” are being lived through-such as birthdays, anniversaries, and of course holidays. There is a supposition that the first year is the most awful…

In this moment

Being in the moment is no easy task. It almost seems that we are programmed to think ahead, formulate our plan for what is next, or automatically anticipate future actions. Our world moves so quickly and we attend to so many different stimuli…
