New York City, New York therapist: Dr. Erica Gardner-Schuster, psychologist
Internal Family Systems (IFS)

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.

Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés

Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
The pain of trying to stay the same has become unbearable. You might look fine on the outside but inside, you’re unraveling. Panic, numbness, or a deep sense of disconnection is starting to take over your days. You’re exhausted from overthinking and pretending to be okay. I help sensitive women and queer adults who feel like they’re at a breaking point, and don’t know where to turn.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs

Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 39 years
FREE INTRO - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine. Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by. EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”….. I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects. “Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”

Lauren Palumbo

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Do anxiety, irritability, negative feelings, or self-doubt weigh you down? Maybe you've been to therapy before and even understand why you feel the way you do, but insight alone hasn't been enough to shift your situation. Transformation comes from experience, not just knowing, and it should be something you can feel. My work is experiential and collaborative, helping you explore what's below the surface and access your inner strength and resilience. If you’re tired of chasing a sense of peace that always feels just out of reach, I’d love to help you find something real and lasting.
