We are passionate about deepening your self-understanding so you can embark on relationships that fulfill you personally and professionally. Sometimes, the feeling of safety we all need to flourish is stalled by childhood traumas, painful firings, breakups, and events that are out of our control.
We work with our clients work through the obstacles getting in their way so that the past does not spoil the present. We use EMDR therapy for traumas, talk therapy for individuals, and IMAGO therapy for couples. These treatment methods have proven successful in helping clients transform destructive behavior patterns into emotionally rewarding relationships.

Kerry O’Reilly
MFC #42870, NCCT
Kerry O’Reilly is a Psychoanalyst and EMDR and IMAGO therapist working with individuals and couples facing life-rupturing events, relationship challenges, mood disorders (bipolar, anxiety, and depression) as well as divorce, death, and aging.
Relationships with others are a central part of what gives meaning to our lives, and sometimes they are difficult to navigate. In some cases, relationships trigger us, reminding us of past experiences, both good and painful, and through our work together, we work to keep the past from spoiling the present.
Dr. O’Reilly works with clients to develop relationship skills, heal painful childhood traumas and develop better ways to communicate, both at work and at home. She also has spent the last 15 years working with gay men in consultation with their internists on issues including HIV, drug and sex addiction, and sexual dysfunction.
