Choosing a Therapist   When you call ACC, we will take some basic personal information and help you select a therapist based on your preferences. If you like, you can also review the photos and brief biographies below to see which counselor feels like the best fit. You will also find articles written by several of our therapists on the Helpful Information page. These may give you a better understanding of their approaches.

Please be aware that our therapists are each independent mental health professionals, with their own private practices. While we have carefully selected our team of counselors, they do not work FOR ACC. They are in business for themselves, and you are contracting with the therapist and not with ACC, which is simply a referral service.   Medication Management  Click here to get information on our prescribing nurse, Leslie Goldberg, MS, RN.
