Dr. Erica Gardner-Schuster
Psychologist, PhD
I am a specialized trauma- & attachment-oriented group therapist committed to helping adults heal, grow and cultivate more fulfilling relationships and lives. In my groups, healing happens in the context of a safe therapeutic community of fellow travelers who can relate, help each other feel less alone, and support one another in making the changes needed to get more out of life. I also use a liberation psychology lens to help group members explore the intersection of cultural and identify factors and mental health and feel more confident and empowered in their lives.
Group therapy can help you find deeper meaning and connection through the practice of authenticity: "letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are" (Brené Brown). By helping you bring your full authentic self into connection, Group can help you transcend loneliness to find more fulfilling relationships. Group can help you lean into your life with more courage, compassion and vulnerability. Group can support your unique journey as you find your way home to where you belong, and to the relationships that sustain you.

Anne Rodic
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, Reiki Practitioner
Are you longing for greater peace, clarity, or a steadier sense of yourself? Many people seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Therapy offers a space to slow down, increase awareness of your inner experience, and gently explore patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
I provide a thoughtful and compassionate therapeutic relationship grounded in presence, respect, and collaboration. Together, we create a steady space where insight can deepen, emotional resilience can strengthen, and a more grounded sense of self can emerge. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your own clarity and capacity for growth.

Skye D Ross, EMDR Therapist for High Achieving Women
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C, MPH, EMDR-Certified Therapist & Consultant In Training
If you're a top-performing woman who is juggling the dream of "having it all" with the reality of "doing it all," welcome. One thing about me is that I keep it real in therapy: The reality of being a woman in healthcare and a therapist is that we may know all things we should be doing, and we also know how hard it can be to do those things. We'll build insight and work through the challenges that come up along the way. My specialties are supporting women through the burnout of being a parent and high-achieving professional, vicarious trauma, and workplace trauma.
