Pat Blumenthal, PsyD
I work with couples, whether they are simply looking to improve their communication, or wondering if they can find a way to stay together and be happy. I have extensive experience working with individual clients who are in high-stress careers, including medical professionals. I have worked with complex situations involving bereavement and loss, and have been in the field of psychology for over twenty years. I provide strengths-based treatment , meaning the kind of counseling that works with people’s natural ability for growth and change. I have had significant training on varied cultural groups and diverse lifestyles. I see clients downtown in the evenings, and Saturdays at SE office.
Glenn Maynard, LPC
I enjoy work with people who are dealing with addictions, or who are affected by the alcohol and drug use of people they care about. I work well with people who are navigating through anxiety and depression, and find cognitive-behavioral therapy, which brings together your thoughts, feelings and day-to-day attitudes and activities is often useful. I have extensive training and experience in work with couples of all compositions and orientations on improving communication, issues of trust and infidelity, and decisions about relationships. I also enjoy teens and families. I'm at the downtown office.
Mary DiOrio, LCSW
I incorporate creativity into my work, and I'm always researching innovative new techniques for helping you make the changes you desire. I have extensive specialized training with eating disorders. I also see many clients who are dealing with heartbreak and relationship loss, and facing relationship decisions. I have successfully assisted clients to develop greater social confidence in dating or just meeting new people. Teens going through challenging times are another area of interest for me, and I work especially well with talented and gifted people. I work downtown, and may have daytime, evening or Saturday times open.
Allan F. Chino, Ph.D., ABPP
Through my training and experience, I have discovered that healing of mind, body, and spirit truly come from within. Our job is to assist people in finding balance so that true self-healing can take place. So often this means simply creating kind, welcoming opportunities for people to feel their feelings and examine their relationships. But I also think that there are internal mechanisms for healing -- potentials within each of us . Whether you are seeking assistance in healing imbalance in physical, emotional, or relationship parts of your life, I believe you can experience remarkable movement toward greater health and happiness. I am at the downtown office.
Catherine Beckett, LCSW
I have been providing individual and family counseling for more than a decade, to clients ranging in age from two to 101. I enjoy working with young children and teens, as well as coaching parents when tough issues come.
Most of us are challenged by change. Breaking out of old beliefs and behaviors, even when they are no longer working well, is not easy. I have also had a lot of experience with helping couples shift to new patterns and regain closeness. Whether doing counseling with adults or play therapy with children, I work collaboratively, and balance the use of listening and support with actively offering ideas and strategies. In addition to helping clients reach their counseling goals, my aim is to offer them tools that will continue to be useful long after they have left my office. I work at the SE location.
Joan Harmony RN, LCSW
My style is warm and compassionate. I teach people how to be more effective, in relation to themselves and to other people in their lives. I’m familiar with techniques about changing the way you think, as well as how you behave. We may include some meditation techniques in our meetings, if this interests you.
I enjoy work on parenting issues. I also have a great deal of experience in addiction problems, including substance abuse and eating disorders. I work to support people addressing their own addictive behavior, and also help many couples and families in dealing with these situations. From traditional talk therapy to recommending resources and books, I employ a variety of approaches to counseling. I see clients downtown in the evenings and on Saturdays.
Kate McNulty, LCSW
I have specialized training in work with couples. I am particularly interested in situations involving infidelity. I also work with people who are in creative relationship structures including open relationship, and have a special interest in sexual concerns, lifestyle and kink activity. I often see my best contribution as simply asking useful questions. I work especially well with people who are intellectually gifted. I work at both offices.

We have two office locations; both are fully handicapped accessible.
Our Southeast office is located at 1235 SE Division Street. This office is in a large green building with a coffee shop at the front entrance, at the intersection of 12th & SE Division. This location is easily accessed from the west side of town via the Ross Island Bridge: just look for the Shell gas station on the left side of Powell Blvd at 10th Avenue and make a left turn. Follow 10th as it curves and crosses the railroad tracks. Turn left onto 12th, and go one more block to Division and you are at the intersection. Plenty of free on-street parking is available in this neighborhood.
