Meet our Clinical and Assessment Team!
Mika Handelman, Ph.D.
Director/Founder, Supervisor, Clinical Psychologist
​
​​​
At heart, I am an integrative psychologist utilizing the perspectives and frameworks from my
background in cultural anthropology and education and training in community mental health (M.S.) and clinical psychology (Ph.D.). Together, these have shaped my approach to therapy that is evidence-based and rooted in the cultural, relational, community, and systemic contexts that shape our wellbeing and our lives.
​
I find therapy most rewarding and effective when I can thoughtfully and flexibly draw from a range
of evidence-based practices in ways that honor and are responsive to your unique experiences,
identities, values, and goals.
​
Most of all, I use a collaborative and exploratory approach, responding moment by moment to the person in front of me, letting each person's struggles, strengths, needs, and priorities lead the way. Because many of the dominant frameworks within psychology continue to be rooted in white, Western, and patriarchal perspectives, I strive to remain critically conscious of these influences in myself and my work. I particularly enjoy supporting clients in examining and navigating cultural norms and stigmas that may be impacting their wellbeing and mental health. Ultimately, I strive to help clients move beyond alleviating suffering toward living fuller, more meaningful, and enriching lives.
​​
I identify as a cis, queer, multiracial, neurodivergent Asian American, raised in a home with parents from different socioeconomic, racial, and religious backgrounds. In part because of these experiences, I am especially passionate about working with people from a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences—both those that overlap with my own and those that differ from them. Acknowledging and embracing our differences while remaining connected through our shared humanity is very important to me and informs our work together. As a second-generation Japanese American, I particularly enjoy helping people navigate the complexity of multiple cultures to discover their authentic sense of self, values, and ways of being in the world.

Ana Marisa Hill, Ph.D.
Counseling Psychologist, Training Director, Supervisor
Hi, I'm Dr. Ana Hill. As as counseling psychologist, my priority is to listen deeply to my clients and become attuned to their unique stories and experiences. I consider myself to be a nonjudgmental and creative therapist who helps people explore and process dynamics in their lives that may be causing them to feel stuck, in emotional pain, or uncertain of how to heal. Our work together would be informed by a trauma-informed, multicultural, and self-compassionate framework that provides a safe, warm, and confidential space to foster greater awareness of yourself and your surroundings.
I know that it can be hard to find a therapist that is a good fit. As a first step, I like to connect by phone or video to get to know what you're looking for and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to getting to know you!
​
AREAS OF INTEREST: I have a passion for working with neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients. Other areas of speciality include depression, stress and anxiety, relationship/intimacy issues, life transitions, family challenges, self-esteem, identity development, and trauma.​

Julia Brim, Ph.D.
Assessment Director, Supervisor, Counseling Psychologist
Every person is made up of their own unique experiences and backgrounds, and I believe the therapy process should reflect that. Together in individual therapy, we’ll create a space where “you” are central. We all possess the wisdom needed to make meaningful changes in our lives. However, anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD and other struggles can interfere with this ability. I am passionate about helping people make sense of their experiences and find clarity. To support this, I offer two services: individual therapy and psychoeducational testing (ADHD and Learning Disorder evaluations).
As a psychologist, I strive to create a supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable making sense of their emotions, experiences, internal signals, and body’s cues, so they are better able to make decisions and changes that feel right.
My Role in Individual Therapy:
I strive to create a supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable making sense of their emotions, experiences, internal signals, and body’s cues, so they are better able to make decisions and changes that feel right. I specialize in supporting adults as they navigate the complexities of life transitions and identity development. This often includes exploring questions of sexuality, gender identity, spirituality and faith, relationships, neurodivergence, and trauma. With specialized training in sexual trauma, I am committed to empowering individuals on their journey toward healing.
My Role as Assessment Director:
I approach psychological assessment as more than a process of testing and diagnosis. Many people seek assessments after spending years trying to understand patterns in their thoughts, attention, learning, or emotions, and I strive to create a space where those experiences can be explored with care and curiosity. My evaluations are grounded in evidence-based practice, meaning I use well-established research and validated assessment tools while also considering each person’s unique identities, cultural context, and life experiences. I aim to integrate these pieces into a thoughtful understanding of the whole person, so clients leave the process with clear, accurate information, as well as greater insight and self-understanding.
When you’re interested in learning more about how we could work together, please reach out. I look forward to meeting you!
