Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

Areas of Focus

Trauma: Complex Trauma, Childhood Trauma & PTSD

Perfectionism & Imposter Syndrome or a high inner critic

Perfectionism & Imposter Syndrome or a high inner critic

Childhood trauma and complex emotional wounds can deeply affect how we view ourselves and relate to others. Struggles with trust, self-worth, or emotional regulation often trace back to attachment wounds or developmental trauma. At Sunray Psychotherapy, we specialize in helping you heal from these deep-rooted patterns using a trauma-informed approach and EMDR therapy.

Our goal isn’t just to help you recover, but to support your post-traumatic growth—transforming pain into strength and resilience. Begin your journey toward healing and emotional empowerment today.

Contact us to start your healing process.

Perfectionism & Imposter Syndrome or a high inner critic

While perfectionism may seem like an admirable trait, it often leads to immense stress and anxiety. The relentless pursuit of perfection can consume you, leaving little room for self-compassion or growth. Learning to embrace mistakes and adopt healthier coping strategies can alleviate the overwhelming pressure that perfectionists often experience.

Imposter Syndrome often accompanies perfectionism, causing feelings of being a fraud or imposter. Those with imposter syndrome struggle with unrealistic self-expectations, believing they don't deserve their success. Therapy can help you recognize these patterns and build confidence by addressing the root causes of both perfectionism and imposter syndrome. Message us today.

Grief & Loss

Perfectionism & Imposter Syndrome or a high inner critic

Immigrant & First Generation Challenges

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline or a formula. It can come in waves—sudden, quiet, or overwhelming—and it shows up in many forms: the loss of a loved one, a miscarriage, a major life transition, or the mourning of any kind of relationship. At Sunray Psychotherapy, we honor the full spectrum of grief, including ambiguous losses that may not be widely recognized or validated. Our clinicians bring both personal and professional experience to this deeply human process, offering a space where your sorrow is welcomed—not rushed or minimized. Whether your grief is fresh or long-held, we’re here to help you tend to it gently, make meaning, and move toward integration at your own pace.

Immigrant & First Generation Challenges

Immigrant & First Generation Challenges

Immigrant & First Generation Challenges

As a multicultural, first-generation and immigrant team, we understand the unique challenges that come with navigating multiple cultural worlds. Assimilation, cultural trauma, and the delicate balance between individualistic and collectivistic values often create emotional and psychological strain. Healing from these experiences requires acknowledging and integrating the various facets of identity. At Sunray Psychotherapy, we approach this work with cultural competence and an open, compassionate mindset. By exploring how your cultural background and personal experiences intersect, we help you achieve a sense of wholeness and empowerment on your path to healing.

Intergenerational Trauma

Immigrant & First Generation Challenges

Mood and Anxiety Disorders

Our team’s work is deeply rooted in the understanding of intergenerational trauma and its transmission through both social and epigenetic pathways. With extensive knowledge of how trauma is passed down through generations, we explore inherited trauma with clients as it arises, offering unique insights and tailored treatment to help heal deep-rooted wounds and break destructive familial patterns. Our associates, under supervision, receive in-depth training to ensure they bring a rich understanding of this complex trauma to their work, providing clients with compassionate and effective support in their healing journey.

It takes one person to break those intergenerational patterns, let that person be you, and let us facilitate the healing. 


Mood and Anxiety Disorders

Immigrant & First Generation Challenges

Mood and Anxiety Disorders

Whether caused by chemical imbalances, stress, or life challenges, mood disorders, anxiety, and depression can lead to overwhelming feelings of pain, hopelessness, and emotional distress. Anxiety often shows up as constant worry, fear, or nervousness, while depression can leave you feeling sad, empty, or lacking motivation to do everyday tasks. These struggles are more common than many realize, and it’s okay to seek help.

In therapy, we help you gain insight into your emotions and learn how to foster emotional resilience. Healing is a process, and we’re here to guide you through it, helping you find better ways to manage anxiety, depression, and other mood challenges so you can feel more balanced and at peace.

Phase of Life, adjustment and transition difficulties

Phase of Life, adjustment and transition difficulties

Phase of Life, adjustment and transition difficulties

Life is constantly changing, and while some transitions are exciting, others can feel overwhelming or stressful. From career shifts and breakups to becoming a parent or relocating, these moments can leave you feeling unsure or emotionally drained. It’s completely normal to need support during times of change. Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to process your experiences, manage stress, and build healthy coping strategies. Whether you're navigating a loss, a new beginning, or an unexpected challenge, counseling can help you gain clarity and feel more grounded. Our therapists focus on helping individuals move through life transitions with resilience and confidence. You don’t have to face these changes alone—reaching out is a powerful first step.

Coping with Antisemitism

Phase of Life, adjustment and transition difficulties

Phase of Life, adjustment and transition difficulties

Our lead therapist, Keren, specializes in treating individuals impacted by antisemitism. 

With the rise of antisemitism worldwide, we recognize the deep impact of feeling othered, discriminated against, and denied the right to practices and beliefs passed down for over 2,000 years. As a team of compassionate therapists, we understand the importance of providing a safe space for Jewish and Israeli clients to process the pain caused by this ongoing discrimination and hate. We also acknowledge the intergenerational trauma triggered by the experiences of our ancestors, who endured exile, violence, and systematic discrimination. We are here to support clients in navigating these painful experiences and breaking free from the cycles of trauma that persist.  .זה מרחב בטוח בשבילך

Stress Management

Phase of Life, adjustment and transition difficulties

Complex Family Dynamics

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you're always “on”? For high achievers and professionals in high-stress careers, the constant pressure to perform, stay ahead, and manage it all can quietly lead to chronic stress, burnout, and emotional fatigue. The weight of responsibility and perfectionism can make it hard to slow down—let alone breathe.

At Sunray Psychotherapy, we specialize in supporting individuals navigating the emotional toll of high-demand lives. Whether you’re dealing with work-related stress, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from yourself, we offer a client-centered, stress-reduction approach designed to help you find relief and clarity.

You don’t have to keep pushing through. In therapy, you’ll have space to decompress, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with what matters most to you. Together, we’ll shift you out of survival mode and toward a more grounded, sustainable way of living.

Reclaim your calm. Restore your energy. Begin your journey to long-term emotional resilience and well-being today.

Complex Family Dynamics

Parenting & Familial Shifts

Complex Family Dynamics

At Sunray Psychotherapy, we understand that family dynamics can be profoundly layered—especially when shaped by multigenerational wounds, tension with in-laws, or the aftermath of divorce. These experiences often carry grief, guilt, or emotional confusion, particularly when old patterns resurface in current relationships. Whether you’re navigating the impact of your family of origin or feeling stuck in long-standing dynamics, we’re here to help you explore these patterns with compassion and care. Our clinicians bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to support your journey toward healing and clarity. Untangle painful patterns, develop healthier boundaries, and move toward a more empowered, authentic connection with yourself and others.

Parenting & Familial Shifts

Parenting & Familial Shifts

Parenting & Familial Shifts

Parenting is never one-size-fits-all. Whether you're having a hard time raising your child with your partner, dealing with your child's challenges as a parent, raising children on your own—by choice or due to life circumstances such as military deployment, incarceration, loss, or illness—or learning to co-parent or step-parent in a blended family, your challenges are real and worthy of support. At Sunray, we hold space for the complexity of modern parenting: the pressure, the doubt, the love, and the exhaustion. Some of our clinicians are parents themselves or come from blended or non-traditional families, and we bring empathy, nonjudgment, and nuance to every conversation. Together, we’ll help you navigate parenting in a way that feels grounded, intentional, and true to your values.

Therapy Tailored to the Depth of Who You Are

Perfectionism , imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression

At Sunray Psychotherapy, we believe healing happens when we explore—not just cope. Whether you’re facing depression, anxiety, chronic stress, or navigating the weight of a life transition, our team offers a depth-oriented, individualized approach that honors the full complexity of your inner world.

Rooted in psychodynamic therapy, Jungian theory, and depth psychology, our work goes beyond surface-level symptom relief. We help you uncover the unconscious patterns, emotional wounds, and early relational experiences that continue to shape how you see yourself and move through the world.

Our integrative sessions may include:


  • Reflective, insight-oriented dialogue held in a warm, attuned space where you feel deeply seen
     
  • Exploration of early attachments, family of origin dynamics, and core emotional themes
     
  • Psychoeducation to reduce shame, foster understanding, and strengthen self-awareness
     
  • Symbolic and creative work with dreams, imagery, metaphor, and art to access unconscious material
     
  • EMDR therapy, when appropriate, to process trauma and release stuck emotional responses
     
  • Spiritual and religious integration, where we respectfully incorporate your traditions, rituals, and beliefs into the therapeutic process
     
  • Support in building mindfulness, boundaries, and emotional regulation skills to ground your internal work in daily life
     
  • A foundation in intention, not perfection, helping you move from self-judgment to self-compassion
     

Our team brings a rich blend of lived experience, cultural awareness, and deep training in both clinical and spiritual traditions. We’re each in different stages of life and healing, which allows us to meet you with authenticity, respect, and real-world understanding.

Whether you’re longing for clarity, deeper self-connection, or a more meaningful life path, we’re here to walk with you—gently, curiously, and with care.

This is a place to go inward, make meaning, and return to yourself. Begin your journey with us today.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a structured therapy that uses bilateral stimulation (typically movement of the eyes). During the stimulation, the client is asked to briefly focus on the trauma memory. This process has shown a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.

Family and couples therapy provides a supportive space to explore and improve relationship dynamics, resolve conflict, and deepen emotional connection.

Our psychodynamic approach helps uncover the deeper emotional patterns, unspoken needs, and generational influences that shape how family members relate to one another. By fostering insight, empathy, and mutual understanding, family and couples therapy supports healthier boundaries, more open communication, and stronger, more resilient relationships.
