Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have the utmost honor and care for my clients who enlist their trust in me to walk side by side with them on this rich, vulnerable, intimate, and sometimes challenging journey toward transformation. I am passionate about helping people fully awaken in their lives, even amidst the collective trauma we are currently experiencing. In learning how to access your vast unconscious world, you will have an increase in self-awareness, developing a more intimate and authentic relationship with yourself and others. Together, with curiosity, we can examine the the roots beneath your anxiety, often discovering defenses, coping mechanisms and survival strategies that are no longer serving you. In a safe, empathetic, warm, and nonjudgmental environment, I will lovingly challenge you to look at your constructed narratives and unhealthy patterns, while exploring your conscious and unconscious beliefs you have about yourself and the world. I believe the deepest healing comes from feeling all of the feelings you were unsafe to feel when you were a child, perhaps unlocking emotion you didn't know how to express. Time and time again, I've seen this lead to less somatic symptoms, less physical and emotional suffering, a deeper sense of self-trust, and a profound sense of freedom. I've had the honor of working with clients "in the room" for 14 years, supervising associate therapists for 9 years, and teaching graduate psychology students in the LGBTQ specialization at Antioch University for 4 years. I have extensive experience and expertise working with the LGBTQ population, creatives in the entertainment industry (showrunners, writers, directors, producers, actors, network executives, etc), parents, codependency, relational issues and trauma. My approach is experiential and depth-oriented, integrating psychodynamic therapy, ISTDP, EMDR and EFT. I believe these modalities lend to a meaningful and rich therapeutic relationship, leading to fully integrated and lasting change.

Theo Kuczek
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT #123769, CPT
In order for therapy to be effective, you need to trust and like your therapist. My style leans toward being both compassionate and direct. I like to educate my clients on the process of healing and personal growth to empower them to make the changes they want in their lives. Whether you're looking to alleviate your symptoms of anxiety or depression, looking for a new perspective on things, or desiring more confidence, my style adapts to accommodate your unique situation. I think it’s important to not only help clients alleviate symptoms and fix problems, but also cultivate enthusiasm for the self-reflection process and inspire their personal growth.
