About Us
Dr. Isaiah Sypher
Founder and Psychologist
I was born and raised in Jamaica, Queens by three generations of phenomenal women. I received my BA in Psychology from Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT and my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor. I completed my doctoral internship at the Yale School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry and my postdoctoral fellowship at Wholeview, an addiction-focused private practice based in New York City. I have experience working with individuals of diverse cultural, gender, and class identities across with a spectrum of presenting concerns. As a Black, queer, first-generation college graduate, I have a keen understanding for how various forms of power and privilege inform our everyday lives and psychological wellbeing. Additionally, I have my own lived experience of therapy and healing, and thus I have a deep appreciation for how big an undertaking the process of change can be. I approach my work with a spirit of authenticity and a desire to disrupt the traditional patient/provider hierarchies by bringing my humanity into the therapeutic encounter.
My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and engaging. I love to laugh and view humor as a tool for healing. Beyond diagnostic labels and symptom reduction, what really matters to me as a therapist is understanding the whole person in context and working together to increase meaning, connection, and joy. I am comfortable with more exploratory psychodynamic and relational approaches as well as structured interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. While I enjoy working across a variety of challenges, I have a particular passion for working with adults living with ADHD and executive function challenges, who often come to me never having had psychotherapy tailored to their specific challenges.
When I’m not working, I can usually be found testing out new recipes on my husband, sweating in a hot yoga class, or connecting with friends on the dance floor.
Dr. Chantelle Christina Miller
Post-Doctoral Fellow
My passion for providing culturally attuned therapy that affirms the intersectional identities of each person I work with is deeply informed by my experience growing up as the eldest daughter of Jamaican immigrants and being raised within a variety of multicultural communities and spaces. These experiences shaped my lifelong commitment to learning and serving within diverse environments and have deeply influenced the way I understand identity, culture, relationships, and healing. I earned my B.S. in Psychology and pursued a minor in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University. Upon completion of my doctoral internship at the Center for Multicultural Mental Health at Boston Medical Center, I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from DePaul University.
My approach to therapy is decolonial, trauma-informed, collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in the belief that our psychological, emotional, and holistic wellbeing is shaped by our families of origin, sociocultural environments, communities, and the broader systems in which we live. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, DBT, TF-CBT, narrative therapy, schema therapy, and feminist psychology while tailoring interventions to each client’s individual needs, intersectional identities, strengths, and treatment goals.
I am especially interested in supporting individuals navigating complex trauma, ADHD, autism, burnout, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and major life transitions. I am particularly passionate about working with neurodivergent individuals from historically marginalized backgrounds whose experiences may have been misunderstood, overlooked, or over-pathologized. I strive to help clients approach themselves with greater self-compassion and self-understanding while exploring the deeper context of the challenges that emerge throughout their lives.
I see my clients as active agents in their own healing and work alongside them to create meaningful and sustainable change. My therapeutic style is rooted in authenticity, curiosity, and compassion. I also incorporate humor, spirituality, and somatic practices when these approaches feel meaningful and aligned with a client’s interests and values.
