Find the Right Therapist for You
Hi, I’m benn!
HE/THEY | ASSOCIATE THERAPIST
Coming out, questioning what you were taught growing up, or noticing the same patterns showing up in your relationships can leave you with a lot to untangle. As a queer therapist, I work with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent adults and couples navigating anxiety, religious trauma, attachment, identity, relationships, and life transitions. My style is warm, affirming, humorous, and focused on helping you better understand yourself and the patterns that keep showing up.
Hi, I’m helena!
SHE/HER | THERAPIST
If you've spent years adapting to new places, roles, or expectations, it can be hard to know what actually feels like you. I work with college students and young adults, including ex-expats and third culture kids, navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD and executive functioning, identity, relationships, and life transitions. My approach is warm, practical, and grounded in helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing and find strategies that actually fit your life.
Hi, I’m hillary!
SHE/HER | ASSOCIATE THERAPIST
Sometimes the life you've built stops fitting the person you're becoming. I work with adults in their 20s and 30s navigating anxiety, ADHD, dating and relationships, career and lifestyle changes, adoption-related concerns, men's issues, and the impact of earlier experiences. Together, we'll look at the patterns shaping your choices and help you move toward a life that feels more intentional and more like your own.
Hi, I’m disha!
SHE/HER | ASSOCIATE THERAPIST
When your family's expectations and your own don't line up, figuring out what you want can get complicated. I work with first-generation, immigrant, and multicultural young adults and couples navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma, cultural identity, self-esteem, burnout, and relationships. My approach is culturally responsive and trauma-informed, drawing from EMDR, somatic work, and specialized treatment for OCD when they’re a good fit.
Hi, I’m Katie!
SHE/HER | SENIOR THERAPIST & CLINICAL SUPERVISOR
Maybe you're the person everyone else relies on: capable, thoughtful, and pretty good at holding it together, even when it's exhausting. I work with young adults, couples, therapists, and helping professionals navigating ADHD, attachment and relationship patterns, boundaries, and life transitions. My style is honest, relational, and practical, with plenty of humor and a real person across from you. I also incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) when it fits the work.
Hi, I’m Andrea!
SHE/HER | SENIOR THERAPIST & CLINICAL SUPERVISOR
Trauma can show up in more places than we realize — in your body, your relationships, your reactions, and the beliefs you carry about yourself. I work with adults and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, OCD, emotional intensity, relationship patterns, and negative core beliefs. Using approaches including EMDR, ERP, and somatic work, we'll work together to understand what's keeping you stuck and build something different.
Hi, I’m Sally!
SHE/HER | SENIOR THERAPIST & CLINICAL DIRECTOR
Surviving your 20s and 30s is one thing. Actually liking your life, and the people in it, is another. I work with individuals and couples navigating dating and relationship concerns, trauma, anxiety, ADHD, grief and loss, identity, sexual health, and major life transitions. My style is relational, direct, and grounded in helping you better understand the patterns shaping your relationships and your life.
Meet Our client care Team
Hi, I’m Olivia!
SHE/HER | OPERATIONS MANAGER
I’m dedicated to making sure your experience with TSG is seamless, supportive, and grounded in care. As Operations Manager, I’m passionate about creating a welcoming environment where both clients and clinicians feel valued and supported. From behind the scenes, I help ensure that everything runs smoothly — so your focus can stay on what matters most: healing and growth. I’m grateful to be part of a team that’s committed to providing thoughtful, accessible, and high-quality care every step of the way.
Hi, I’m KIANA!
SHE/HER | CLIENT CARE COORDINATOR
I’m here to support you every step of the way at TSG. It’s important to me that your experience with us feels welcoming, inclusive, and easy to navigate. We know how meaningful it is to find the right therapeutic fit, and I look forward to connecting with you to learn more about what you’re looking for and how we can help.
woof, I’m Cody!
TREAT/TREATS | MASCOT & THERAPY DOG (IN-TRAINING)
Cody is the self-appointed Chief Happiness Officer at TSG. He takes his job very seriously: greeting clients, demanding belly rubs, and shamelessly begging for treats. When he’s not supervising snack breaks, you’ll find him napping on the job with zero regrets.
Meet Our Founder, Lindsay!
I remember feeling stuck and lost in my 20s while everyone around me seemed to have it together. Turns out they didn't. I founded The Sterling Group because I wanted people in their 20s and 30s to have therapy that actually understands this stage of life. In my own clinical work, I focus on perfectionism, anxiety, boundaries, family-of-origin patterns, and dating and attachment.
