About Dr. Unger

Great to meet you.

I have a strong foundation of 25 years of diverse experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse settings and roles as a professional supervisor, professor, workshop facilitator, and expert witness in the judicial system.

My integrative approach to psychology combines traditional therapeutic techniques — CBT, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed care — with holistic, body-mind practices and wisdom-based traditions to support overall well-being. I meet with adolescents, adults, and seniors who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, identity issues, or a life crisis or transition, combining evidence-based practice with compassionate, culturally attuned care to help create lasting, positive change.
