Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin
As a Black, queer, transmasculine, and neurodivergent scholar-practitioner, I view therapy as an act of radical liberation rather than social compliance. Grounded in the Black radical tradition, I partner with "Deep-Sea Divers"—scholars, activists, and survivors—to move beyond traditional talk therapy and into the realm of spiritual reclamation. My approach is direct and somatic, utilizing Sandplay, Somatic Focusing, and Bibliotherapy to map your internal geography and dismantle the "head trash" of carceral systems. Whether navigating neurodivergence, TBI recovery, or the cycles of dependency, we work collaboratively to honor your lived experience without moralistic shame. I do not sit as a detached observer, but as a witness to your evolution and a partner in your resistance against a broken world. My goal is your absolute autonomy, facilitating the heavy, holy work of unmasking and rewriting your testimony. If you are seeking a sanctuary where your identity is celebrated and your liberation is the priority, I am ready to dive with you.

Cara Marolda
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Everyone experiences distressing or overwhelming challenges at different points in life. Many people struggle to manage these inevitable difficulties, get stuck and then subsequently feel defined by their emotional pain. This can negatively impact relationships, ambitions, work and self-worth. I believe in people’s inherent right to live meaningful and joyful lives and in their ability to choose how to respond to life’s challenges. I support my clients through their courageous process of self-exploration and self-compassion.

Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
I didn’t become a therapist to sit quietly and nod. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up honestly and do meaningful work, not perform or filter yourself.
My perspective was shaped by years working closely with people navigating difficult and high-stakes situations. That experience taught me that people’s reactions, patterns, and defenses make sense when you understand what they’ve been through.
I value authenticity, honesty, and being fully present in my work. I show up as a real person, and you can expect directness, respect, and genuine engagement.
I also place a high value on continuing to learn and deepen my understanding of trauma and human behavior. This commitment helps me better understand my clients and support meaningful, lasting change.

Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I draw on mind-body approaches and other evidence-based therapies to help people navigate anxiety, stress, stress related health challenges, life transitions, depression, grief, relationship issues, and times of feeling stuck. Over more than three decades in practice, I’ve witnessed the profound capacity we each have to heal and grow through therapy. I view this work as a collaborative process—one grounded in safety, trust, and genuine connection—where together we can explore how to help you move toward greater balance, resilience, and fulfillment. When the mind, body, and heart come into alignment, new possibilities for living fully begin to emerge.
