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.

Crystal Hoban, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Are you tired of having the same argument over and over again, with no resolution? Maybe conversations quickly turn into conflict quickly, one of you shuts down, or you both walk away feeling unheard, misunderstood, and disconnected. And the same fights seem to surface over and over again, like clock work. You may love each other deeply, but feel stuck in patterns that leave you both feeling lonely, frustrated, or emotionally distant. I specialize in helping couples improve communication, rebuild trust, and create a deeper emotional bond. Together, we’ll identify the negative patterns and behaviors keeping you stuck in cycles of conflict. In sessions I teach practical tools for managing strong emotional responses, and create a safe space where both partners can express themselves openly, honestly, and safely.

Yuanfei Zhang
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I became a therapist because I know what it means to be between worlds.
As someone who has navigated different cultures, languages, and identities, I understand the particular kind of loneliness that comes when your inner life doesn't quite have words yet — or when the words you have don't translate. That experience lives at the heart of everything I do.
I work primarily with women and individuals in the perinatal space — pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, and loss — as well as college students and immigrants standing at crossroads moments in their lives. These are the seasons when we most need someone who can hold complexity without rushing to fix it.
My training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) gives me a framework, but honestly, what guides me most is curiosity. I want to know what your life actually feels like from the inside — what you carry, what you've adapted to, what you've quietly set aside. I want to know how your culture shaped the way you love, grieve, and ask for help. And I want to sit with you in all of it, without judgment, without a predetermined destination.
Clients tell me our sessions feel like finally exhaling. My hope is that over time, that feeling stops being something you only find in a therapy room — and starts becoming something you carry with you.
