Ali Faris, PsyD
My approach focuses on honoring your knowledge in the hope of creating an empowering environment where you benefit from freedom to discover your strengths, resiliencies, and courage. It is important to me that we consider culture, history, and identity in the context of what you are struggling with. I truly appreciate the beautiful complexity that makes each of us who we are.
I specialize in working with clinicians struggling with burnout, stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, grief/loss, relationship struggles, existential crisis, transitions, performance challenges, self-worth, and perfectionism. In additional I have experience working with clinicians with serious medical conditions such as cancer, neurological disorders, brain and spinal cord injuries.
When not working, I can be found doing many physical activities including circus arts and spending time catching up with friends and family.

Amy Romain, MSW
I enjoy helping physicians navigate the challenges and tensions in their professional and personal lives. I bring a holistic approach to care utilizing mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, reflective practices and strategies to promote healthy coping and enhance wellbeing.
I love spending time in nature – in the woods, on or in the water, gardening, and spending time with loved ones.
Meet with Amy in Michigan.
Angela Wendorf, PhD
In my practice, I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from cognitive, behavioral, and mindfulness-based practices. I incorporate a values-based approach to guide meaningful change, growth, and wellness.
I have expertise and passion for working with people on insomnia, coping with acute and chronic medical conditions, and health behavior and lifestyle changes.
I am originally from Wisconsin, trained in California, and now call New England my home. Outside of work, I love being outdoors and exploring trails, mountains, and waterways with my husband and tiny (but mighty!) Chiweenie.
Meet with Angela in Massachusetts.
Ann Maloney, MD
When not seeing patients, you may find me on the water rowing, raising my teenagers with my wife, and out getting fresh produce to feed our ‘non-stop eating’ pandemic pet rabbit, Dash.
Meet with Ann soon.
Brian Sandoval, PsyD
My approach to clinical care is both compassionate and practical. Each provider brings a unique experience and history, and I aim to help individuals function more effectively in their personal and professional lives as soon as possible. My focus is not on psychological labels but instead on helping people cope and get “unstuck” through evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). If you’re interested in learning more, I’m happy to offer an initial 20-minute consultation call so we can determine together the best approach for your situation.
On a personal level, I love taking road trips with my family, coaching my sons’ sports teams, eating tacos, and watching soccer (the “real” football.)
Meet with Brian in Oregon or Washington.
Brian Van Buren, PhD
I have spent most of my career working in hospitals and understand the unique pressures of inpatient medicine, rounding on the wards, and caring for people with complex medical problems. I am passionate about partnering with healthcare professionals to foster wellness, resilience, and meaning in their personal and professional lives. Working in healthcare, there are many opportunities for exposure to traumatic events and I work with people to address the residue of this work.
In my spare time, I enjoy running, spending time with family and friends, and exploring all that New England has to offer.
Meet with Brian in Massachusetts (closed to new patients) or New York.
Cali-Ryan Collin, MSW, PhD
I love getting outside and spending time with my wife, fur baby, and human baby.
Meet with Cali in Massachusetts.
Cassie Sieg, PsyD
My approach balances self-awareness and practical skill building. I believe it can be empowering to understand why we respond the way we do–and necessary to learn new skills for changing those responses. I specialize in treating grief, trauma, work stress, relationship conflict, addiction, and depression. I am also passionate about working with clients to adapt therapy to their culture and life experiences.
I love living in the Pacific Northwest where I split my time between hiking in the woods, training rescue animals, and being mediocre at video games.

Marta Pagán-Ortiz, PhD
I’ve worked with individuals facing a range of issues, including transitions, professional challenges, relationship concerns, and chronic health conditions. I also have specialized training in traumatic stress and working with populations with marginalized backgrounds and identities. I’m passionate about working holistically and collaboratively to help individuals feel safe, feel heard, understand their needs, their strengths, and develop ways to face their challenges effectively. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, and I’m happy to work with patients in Spanish, as well as in English.
Outside of work, I value spending time with my family and my community, as well as reading and writing.
