Sound familiar?

You've built a life that looks like success. But it doesn't always feel like it.

You show up, deliver, and hold it together — for your family, your team, your own high bar. But underneath the competence, there's a running loop: the intrusive thought you can't shake, the checklist that's never quite finished, the sense that even good news comes with a, "But what if?"

I specialize in anxiety, OCD, and the life transitions that shake even the most capable people: new roles, new cities, new chapters. Many of the people I work with are high performers used to holding it together for everyone else. Whether you need space to finally say the hard thing out loud, practical tools grounded in evidence-based care, or both — I meet you where you are.

You don't have to be falling apart to deserve support. You just have to be ready to feel like yourself again.

Signs

You might benefit from therapy

You don't have to be at your breaking point to deserve support. Here's what many of my clients are dealing with when they first get in touch.

Overthinking

Your mind is a courtroom and you are always on trial. You analyze every word and every decision until you are paralyzed.

On edge

Your body is braced for impact even when nothing is wrong. Rest feels dangerous because you are always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Intrusive thoughts

Thoughts arrive that horrify you or make no sense. You try to push them away, but they come back louder.

Disconnected

You hit the milestones but feel nothing. You are surrounded by people yet feel profoundly alone in your own head.

Hi, I'm

Dr. Yaphet Fisseha, PsyD

I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I help working professionals and students make sense of what they’re experiencing and develop practical tools for meaningful change.

My goal is to create a space where you can be honest without feeling judged or pressured to present the polished version of yourself.

Our work will be grounded in evidence-based care and shaped around your goals, experiences, relationships, and values. We’ll take the work seriously while leaving room for warmth and real conversation.
