Eliza Ng, LMSW
(She/Her)
Hi, I’m Eliza, and I'll partner with you as you pursue emotional balance and self-discovery. Life can distort our sense of self-worth, blurring the lines between the value we bring to the world and our inherent confidence and identity. My goal is to help you sift through these challenging experiences to gain self-compassion and clarity.
I hold a master’s from the Silberman School of Social Work and have over ten years of experience in building equity, inclusion, and leadership programs, especially for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals. Using Psychodynamic, CBT, somatic, and anti-oppressive approaches, we’ll work together as you leave behind unhelpful patterns and find a path to healing and fulfillment.

KJ Quick, LMSW
(He/They)
Hi there, I’m KJ! As your therapist, I will bring a collaborative, creative, and strengths-based approach to therapy. Rooted in psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed modalities, my work centers on building a space where you can show up as your full self—messy, questioning, overwhelmed, hopeful and be met with care and curiosity.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the Smith College School for Social Work, a program grounded in psychodynamic theory and anti-oppressive clinical practice. I specialize in working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, neurodivergence, chronic illness, identity development, grief, and LGBTQ+ experiences. I’m especially passionate about supporting those who may feel “othered” or misunderstood by dominant systems—whether because of how you think, feel, move through the world, or who you are.
As a queer and trans therapist, I understand firsthand the importance of having a space where your identity isn’t questioned or explained, but simply respected and understood. My goal is to be a safe landing place for you—to offer room to breathe, reflect, and explore what a more aligned and meaningful life could look like for you. Therapy with me is a collaborative process. You bring your story, and I bring a deep commitment to listening,
holding space, and helping you uncover insight and self-trust along the way.

Hi, I'm Megan
(She/Her)
and I am the founder of Allay Therapy. Prior to entering private practice, I worked for nearly a decade in a variety of community based organizations, ranging from LGBTQ+ focused work to youth development and housing services.
I earned my Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work at the Silberman School of Social Work through Hunter College. I hold an additional Master’s Degree in General Psychology with a Research Emphasis from the University of North Florida.
I have obtained post graduate trainings in CBT, psychoanalytic theory, psychodynamic therapy and EMDR, all of which I incorporate into my work. Additionally, I find relational and person-centered approaches to be helpful in establishing a space in which you can feel safe enough to begin to address your concerns. I work in an affirming and collaborative approach, finding a balance between holding a space where you can begin to truly hear yourself and providing direct feedback.
I also work with clients in Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, https://www.flhealthsource.gov/telehealth/
