Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My discipline is focused around understanding human behavior and how we come to be who we are. Our experiences feed and deplete our soul, then inform how we respond to ourselves and others. Those events get seared into our brain and set the stage for what we do next. All of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected, feeding into one another.
I often work with creative and ambitious people living with sadness or anxiety. Thinking big and taking on complex projects is the life blood and identity for many creative people. While others might look on from the outside and comment on how exciting it looks, these endeavors often lend themselves to problems like imposter syndrome, fear of failure, and existential questions.
But you are not your productivity. Through my collaborative approach, we will use therapy to explore your ideas, thoughts, and emotions. Let’s work together to find the you that you want to be, and figure out how to lead a purposeful and fulfilled life in this world.

As a holistic spiritual therapist, my practice is dedicated to embracing the transformative power of grief and the journey towards self-discovery. With a background as a certified astrologer and a passion for the subtle realms of existence, I specialize in supporting those navigating significant life transitions, personal awakenings, and the challenges of deep sensitivity. My approach is deeply attuned to the cycles of death, rebirth, and transformation, reflecting my belief in the healing potential of nature and energy medicine. If you're seeking a path that honors your unique story and explores the depths of your being in a soulful, spiritual manner, I invite you to connect and co-create a space for profound healing and self-reclamation.

Daniel Lazar
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MBA
I work with boys and men and the women who love them. We tackle things like anger, career, anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. My uncommon mix of business experience and therapeutic skill help me connect with clients over the nuanced and emotional challenges of work. I am also a husband and a parent, which helps me relate to my clients on a familial and partnership level as well. No matter the issue or the client, our work is collaborative. Together we make space for empathy, show judgement the door, and stand side-by-side throughout the process of growth and change. Whether you are a man or a woman with a man in your life, you are never alone in this work.

Victoria Miller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety, depression, and past traumas can stand in the way of healthy, balanced relationships. You may feel like you're standing in your own way and second guessing yourself all the time. You may have noticed uncontrollable negative self talk that spirals and seems to take on a life of it's own. These behaviors create a cycle of anxiety and depression that's hard to battle. With my help you will learn skills to combat anxiety, depression, to stop the negative self talk, to work through past traumas, and to gain confidence. In the process you will build healthy, balanced relationships and live a more fulfilling life.

I work from a non-pathologizing lens and strive to support my clients in exploring what past or current traumatic experiences, including personal/specific, cultural, and systemic, may be currently impacting their self-view and functioning.
I offer a trauma assessment, EMDR treatment, and IFS to support processing past trauma (including chronic and childhood traumas) and grief & loss that may be causing current distress, unhappiness, relationship challenges, negative beliefs about one's self or abilities, and a lack of personal fulfillment.

Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I specialize in helping trauma survivors, especially survivors of childhood and/or adult sexual trauma, reclaim the life they were meant to live. If you're struggling with symptoms related to trauma, such as being easily triggered, anxiety or depression, dissociation (feeling spaced out, numb, unable to ground, or connect to your body's sensations) trouble sleeping, nightmares, or flashbacks and more, you're in the right place (for an extensive list of trauma symptoms check out my post https://www.healingsexualtrauma.com/post/what-are-trauma-symptoms). My goal is to help you get the results you're looking for while offering lots of needed compassion and understanding. I'm the author of the Healing Sexual Trauma Workbook, the upcoming Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal (2024), and teacher of the PESI Sexual Trauma Clinical Training. I'm dedicated to supporting my clients as they navigate their healing journey.
