Robert dos Santos Teixeira
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, SMF, MPIA, MA, MSW, LCSW
When you lose the little self, you find the bigger Self. You are the Light Who shines through the eyes: You are Ancient, Eternal, Infinite, One, and Unchanging Light. My job is to help you step out of the little self (the flesh-and-blood self), which is experiencing the pain of addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, etc., and into Who You really are. As a result, you will gain observer consciousness, which offers freedom, healing, transformation, and ultimately awakening.

Justine Astacio | Lotus Theory LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As a therapist, I approach this work through a somatic lens, recognizing that what we experience emotionally is often held in the body, not just in our thoughts.
I support clients in understanding their patterns while also helping them build a more regulated and grounded relationship with themselves. This means we’re not only talking about what’s happening, but also paying attention to how it’s showing up physically and how to shift those responses over time.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or a major life transition, my goal is to create a space that feels steady, collaborative, and connected, where you can feel supported both in your internal experience and in how you relate to others in your life.

Enma Cordero Rodriguez
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP
I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re looking for someone who truly 'gets it.' My journey in medicine began as a physician in Cuba, and today, as a Board-Certified PMHNP and DNP candidate, I bring that depth of medical knowledge to every session. I specialize in helping high-achieving professionals and families navigate the complexities of ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression.
Being bilingual in English and Spanish, I am committed to providing culturally competent care where nothing is 'lost in translation.' My goal is to move past the labels and help you rediscover a sense of balance and clarity. You aren’t just a diagnosis to me; you are a whole person, and I’m here to support your path to wellness with both science and soul

Michael Nakhla
Psychiatrist, MD
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and psychotherapist. I serve in leadership and teaching roles at NYU, where I teach the next generation of psychiatrists and work at the intersection of college mental health and academic medicine. My practice focuses on high-achieving professionals and students navigating mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, perfectionism, and identity development. I created my private practice space, The Light Room, to be decidedly different from traditional psychiatric practices — care that's evidence-based yet deeply human, personalized, accessible, and responsive.
I specialize in integrating psychotherapy with medication management to offer a truly comprehensive treatment approach.
