Susan Madson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My most common therapy techniques that I use first is client centered therapy approach. I start where the client is most comfortable and work on building a safe environment for the client. My first goal is to build a therapeutic relationship with my client. Then my goal is to work with strength based, cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, solutions focused, interpersonal therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness therapy techniques. I use an eclectic approach as each client is different and has different needs. My goal is to help the client's to identify the fact that sometimes therapy is identifying the small steps that client is making towards their treatment goals.

Lisa Chester-Schyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
What makes my practice unique is the presence, depth and care I bring to each session. I will meet you where you are and offer a compassionate space to explore the layers that exist beneath grief, loss, life transitions and trauma. My work is grounded in genuine connection and deep listening and I will offer a reflection of what I am hearing you say. This helps clients move toward healing and self-understanding at their own pace. If you are in need of someone to walk beside you I invite you to reach out. You're not alone.

Josie Valderrama
Psychologist, PsyD
My approach is eclectic, inclusive and multi-modal--reflecting the complexity and paradox within each of us. I specialize at the intersection of gender, sexual and relational diversity + ethnic diversity + neurodiversity. Respectful of clients' spiritual grounding and cultural identity. Geared towards achieving greater balance, peace of mind and effectiveness in life. As a creative writer, I am seasoned in working with fellow creatives to support their generativity and self-acceptance. Often, my work is with alt high achievers addressing everyday anxieties as well as broader existential issues. Prior sojourns in Dotcom era tech, journalism and the entertainment industry inform my real-world perspective. Well-traveled, bohemian, intellectual and transpersonal within the therapeutic milieu, I collaborate with clients in both practical and transcendent processes.

Celeste Tomasulo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
**Currently accepting new clients as of July 2025** Setting boundaries is hard. Saying 'No' feels impossible. You want to express your needs but stop yourself because you don't want to come across as rude or start an argument. Perhaps you have a chronic illness and are struggling with living the life you once loved due to limitations from symptoms. It's difficult to manage flair ups or even go to the store, let alone maintain a social life and engage in hobbies. Or maybe you're looking for extra support with overwhelming stress in your day-to-day life. During our initial sessions, we will explore who you are as a whole person, putting together the pieces of the puzzle that make you, you. My clients find success in decreasing the intensity of overwhelming thoughts and emotions, managing symptoms related to chronic illness to create a more meaningful way of life, and effectively changing negative behaviors that cause conflict and stress in their daily lives.

Gyani Richards
Counselor/Therapist, MA - Counseling Psychology
Grief is not a problem to be solved, but a transformational opportunity to be embraced. My approach to working with grief is based on what I call Mindful Grieving, which is essentially the practice of turning toward our loss with an attitude of friendly attention, of kind curiosity. In that turning, grief can begin to open and reveal itself - and this is where healing happens. The essence of my work is about creating a safe and compelling space in which this sacred transformation can occur. This entire journey is a path of the heart.
