Aitia Mental Health Counseling

We are philosophically grounded, emotionally informed, and improvement oriented. We strive to help you figure out the reasons why you are thinking, feeling, and doing in maladaptive ways, and how to improve your choices and outcomes. We offer therapy online and in person, and strive to make sure excellent treatment is not cost prohibitive or a clerical hassle, regardless of your insurance situation. We will work with your insurance to determine if you have out of network benefits that we can apply to your treatment. If so, we will file your claims for you. PPO plans usually do, but EPO plans do not. More than half of our patients are able to use insurance, and we have standing relationships with Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare. We are unable to accept Medicare or Medicaid. If you can't use your insurance, ask about our income-based sliding scale policy. **Please note that If you schedule an appointment, we will need to contact you via email to send you intake forms. We cannot confirm your appointment until this is completed. Thank you.**

Very patient and a great listener. I will be coming back. I highly recommend seeing Damien.

October 2, 2019Eric N.Verified patient

I have been working with Damien for an extended period of time, and he is an extremely intelligent, thoughtful and thorough therapist. He has helped me master tools for managing my mental health, while also bringing a unique philosophical approach to his work. He has supported me through grief, anxiety and major life transitions, and I highly recommend him and his team.

ECVerified patient

Damien has been a steady source of support, offering a safe and understanding space where I can truly be myself. With his gentle guidance, I’ve been able to find my footing during tough times while also opening my mind to new ways of seeing things. His warmth and patience have made it easy to share my thoughts. Every session feels like a conversation with someone who truly cares.

HWVerified patient

The world needs more therapists like Damien! “You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” That explained exactly why and how Damien helped me so much in the last year or so.

MWVerified patient

From my first time meeting Ellen, she's been very attentive. Since I've never been to therapy before, I didn't know what to expect. But Ellen listened early on and we've established things I wanted to work on. Our sessions included reflections, questions, resources to lean on, and steps to take. I've enjoyed my sessions with Ellen, and I'm more confident now about facing things I didn't know how to handle before.

MWVerified patient

I have been seeing Ellen for almost two years, initially for couple counseling sessions and later switching to individual sessions. Throughout this time, Ellen has consistently provided exceptional support and understanding. Ellen is incredibly professional and creates a safe, non-judgmental environment where I feel comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings. She listens attentively, offers thoughtful insights, and provides practical advice that has been invaluable in helping me navigate various challenges. Her empathetic nature and supportive approach have made a significant positive impact on my mental health journey. I highly recommend Ellen to anyone seeking a compassionate and professional mental health counselor. She has truly made a difference in my life.

JLVerified patient

Ellen is a warm-hearted and patient counselor. Throughout my sessions with her for more than one year, she has been patient when I express my issue, helped me a lot to find out the key point and create a more positive perspective. Sometimes she provides me exercise and tips of healthy mindset that I can use in daily life to stay calm and find inner peace. She also kindly keeps track of my concerns and progress throughout the process for a better reflection and growth plan going forward. Highly recommended!

RTVerified patient

Ellen has been very helpful in addressing my issues and gave specific exercises to help me on daily basis. Her insight has been extremely helpful and I look forward to my sessions.

SRVerified patient

I've been seeing Ellen for more than one year, and it's been a transformative experience. From the first session, Ellen created a welcoming and safe space where I felt heard and understood. Her approach is both compassionate and insightful, providing clarity and practical strategies that have significantly impacted my mental health and overall well-being. For anyone considering therapy, I cannot recommend Ellen highly enough. Her professionalism, warmth, and commitment to her clients' growth have made all the difference in my journey.

Incredible experience, I’m coming back

April 25, 2025Mathew V.Verified patient

Ever since I been going to Oonagh I have improved myself and got the help I much needed. I feel such comfort with her and her guidance. She has been very important to my life and my continued improvement as a person!

DMVerified patient

Oonagh is a rare gift. Working with her has transformed my life. There were things I didn’t understand about myself, so much pain I was burying, and she helped unpack all of it with me. Throughout the process, she’s been empathetic, kind, and caring — but also very direct, honest, and consistent. She has the innate ability to connect the dots on complex situations, and offers a perspective that provides clarity and solutions. Oonagh moves seamlessly between subjects on relationships, work, and health — constantly taking new information into consideration, and recalling it over time. Her sharp wit and sense of humor bring lots of good laughs into our sessions together, and I appreciate her outlook on life. She’s brilliant and inspiring to be around. Her “tough love” approach is actually what I like best — simply revealing the truth and examining it together, patiently and respectfully. I’m so glad I found her and would highly recommend Oonagh to anyone seeking help. Thank you, Oonagh!

NCVerified patient

Oonagh just gets it. Our sessions over the past year+ have been immensely helpful to me. She is intelligent, nonjudgmental, thoughtful, and practical, but always with a healthy and appreciated dose of humor sprinkled in. It's like meeting with your extremely wise, funny best friend who also happens to be a life coach. She listens so attentively and remembers even the smallest of details and helps you connect dots you somehow never realized were connected. So many aha moments in our sessions. Oonagh is very direct and doesn't mince words, and I appreciate that about her. So glad I found her!

BHVerified patient

I have been seeing Oonagh Hayes for about a year now and I truly trust and enjoy working with her. She is direct, understanding, and helps me think through situations at work and personally. She is great in helping challenge me when I need it which is exactly what I needed.

LSVerified patient

Sonia has played an instrumental role in improving my mental health and life as a whole. I consider myself lucky to be on the receiving end of her intelligence, kindness, discernment, and honesty, all of which she possesses in spades. I'm confident working with her would be a massive benefit to anyone considering therapy.

MDVerified patient

Sonia is truly incredible. She creates such a safe, nonjudgmental space that makes it easy to open up and actually do the work. She’s insightful without being pushy, compassionate but honest, and has this calm energy that instantly makes you feel grounded. I’ve grown so much since starting therapy with her — emotionally, mentally, and even how I show up in my relationships. If you’re looking for a therapist who really gets it and genuinely cares, Sonia’s the one.

RGVerified patient

Valentina is an incredible therapist. I recommend her without reservation!

JHVerified patient

Amazing therapist. She has helped me tremendously in so many different areas of my life—improving my relationships, becoming less reactive, and thinking in new ways.

JCVerified patient

I have seen Valentina for 3 or 4 years and she has helped me through different aspects of my life. I really appreciate how she helped me look at things under a different light. Also, Valentina's latina background made me feel better understood. I will always remain thankful to her.

SLVerified patient

Valentina has helped me so much with anxiety and has given me the tools to live my life with much less stress and worry. She’s very approachable and friendly but also always professional. She lets me choose what I want to talk about in each session but can easily steer our conversation into something helpful if I am not sure what I want to discuss that day. I’ve had a lot of insightful breakthrough moments with Valentina and am very grateful to have her!

EDVerified patient

I was looking for therapy in spanish and for a therapist that had some life experience, not right out of college. Valentina was a perfect fit and I am very glad I worked with her.

MVVerified patient

After years of terrible therapy experiences, I’m so glad I decided to give it another shot and chose Valentina. From the very first moment you meet her, you’ll feel like maybe you don’t have to go through everything on your own because now you have met someone who genuinely cares about her patients and will constantly cheer you on all your big and small victories. Sessions with Valentina feel like talking with an old friend who knows you so well, where you can share laughs and tears with no judgment. She will encourage you to break out of your bad habits but always with so much tenderness, respect, and curiosity. I can’t recommend her enough!! She is helping me become the person I always wanted to be! Y aún mejor por que entre Latinas nos entendemos mejor y la terapia puede ser en Spanglish!!

NTVerified patient

I highly recommend Valentina. She has been key in helping me navigate life these months I have been in therapy with her. I am confident in her abilities and appreciate her kindness. I feel like I am in good hands and will improve as I continue working with her,

TFVerified patient

Excellent,she inspires a lot of confidence, in a matter of minutes you realize that she is kind and she respects the time you spend with her a lot, there are no distractions, she only focuses no you, on listening to you and making you feel good, she is very good at what she does, I highly recommend her.

YRVerified patient

Valentina is an amazing therapist. She is one of the most empathetic and compassionate people I've ever met. She creates a safe environment where I've always felt comfortable to share how I feel and what I think with zero judgement. She helped me through some of the most difficult times I've endured in my life and provided actionable steps to help. I always felt understood and I always walked away from our sessions feeling lighter. I would highly recommend her.

PLVerified patient

Valentina has been an absolutely amazing therapist for me. She is attentive, remembers everything I say (even months in the past), smart, insightful, and easy to talk to. I found myself learning a lot about myself with her help, and overcoming some of the challenges I’ve been facing. I would give Valentina my highest recommendation to anyone seeking therapy.

ASVerified patient

She listens, very well spoken, very funny and made me feel 100% confident in starting my recovery ! I would highly recommend!

She was very nice and understanding,

January 1, 2025Miolene O.Verified patient

My experience in being new to speaking with a therapist was so helpful. I was able to open up because she made me feel welcomed. She listened and that's what I needed. For this being new for me, I didnt really think I could look at things differently, she was real and easy to talk with and for that I highly recommend her!

August 8, 2024Latarsha T.Verified patient

April 25, 2024Tanisha G.Verified patient

Sarah is warm, nurturing & inviting. She is also direct & held me accountable! We accomplised a lot together.

MAVerified patient

Simply the best! Sarah has helped me change my life for the better in so many ways. Highly recommend her.

ZGVerified patient

Sarah makes me feel so comfortable in session & is easy to talk to.

ASVerified patient

One of the aspects of Sarah's approach that stood out to me was her cultural competence. Her ability to navigate the delicate balance between cultural nuances and personal struggles with other complicated issues was important to me and something she supported me through masterfully.

SMVerified patient

My experience with Sarah has been nothing short of perfection. Having seen her for nearly 2 years now there have been no negatives to speak of. Our time in session is always focused on the areas that I want to cover for the sessions. Sarah does a great job guiding the conversation but she switches gears on a dime if we uncover a new topic that we want tot alk about. I never have to wait and our appointments always start on time. She is willing to reschedule as needed and always offers virtual sessions when one of us is unable to attend in person.

JCVerified patient

Sarah has made such a positive impact on my life. I've seen so much growth in myself since starting my sessions with her. She holds me accountable but always makes me feel like I have an ally when I'm walking through a sticky situation. She's very communicative, compassionate, empathetic, and wise. I've learned a lot from her and have a lot more to learn. She's the best!

KHVerified patient

My experience with Sarah was exactly what I needed. I was able to speak freely and address my thoughts. If you're looking for someone to work with you, I would highly recommend Sarah.

JRVerified patient

I have been seeing Sarah for the last 4yrs and she has been so incredibly helpful and insightful in all areas that I felt I needed support. From small insecurities, general anxiety, life transitions, complex family dynamics, and even the happy days - she's there for it all! Sarah is very accommodating to her patients' needs and I have never felt as though I can't ask her whatever I need. On the flip side - she is also extremely communicative on her end if she an not make a session. I am always informed in advance and Sarah takes the initiative to let me know when she is free so I don't have to go without therapy.

CHVerified patient

My experience seeing Sarah Weprin as a therapist for over a year has fully changed my entire view of therapy; I never thought I could feel so comfortable during sessions, let alone actually look forward them. She is extremely easy to talk to, kind, relatable and non-judgmental while still bringing thoughtful answers and ideas to our conversations. Sarah is always punctual/early, and patient with me when I'm late. She also constantly tries to accommodate my schedule, even if it means a very early morning for her. It is clear from the theories, studies and terms she brings up/utilizes that she really has a deep interest and strong training in mental health sciences. I can't say enough good things about having Sarah as my therapist - I wish everyone could have her in their lives!

SGVerified patient

I LOVE SARAH! SHE HAS HELPED ME SO MUCH. I LOOK FORWARD TO OUR SESSIONS AND KNOW SHE HAS HELPED CHANGE MY LIFE FOR THE BETTER. THANK YOU SARAH.

MSVerified patient

I am really grateful for the direction and support from Sarah. She has been really critical for me in some deeply personal situations - I can only hope others have a therapist as thoughtful and attentive as her

EKVerified patient

Sarah helped me understand the roots of my hesitancy, unraveling underlying beliefs and fears. What stands out is Sarah's ability to guide without imposition, allowing for a personalized journey of self-discovery. Her empathetic approach created a safe space where I felt heard and understood.

IRVerified patient

Sarah has been my guide and ally in the profound journey of embracing vulnerability. The practical tools she shared werethe path to vulnerability with confidence. I've not only become more open but have discovered the empowering strength that lies in embracing authenticity.

MSVerified patient

Sarah has been remarkably helpful for me in my process of overcoming some really intense obstacles. It’s was really important to me to work with someone really authentic and I have always felt like Sarah is attentive, present, and real with me. Would recommend.
