Farzana Rahman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D
Having worked for a decade, I have supported clients through the nuanced and demanding areas of interpersonal stress, major life transitions, identity exploration, and the long-lasting impact of early adverse childhood experiences. I hold particular care and awareness towards the cultural, relational, and systemic forces that shape a person’s sense of self. I feel especially attuned to how family histories and early attachments influence adult relationships, therefore, I often invite clients to explore identity, unlearn old narratives, and build relationships that feel grounded and authentic. My unique, yet collective experiences as a child of immigrant parents and a South Asian woman allow me to recognize how family expectations, cultural identity, gender identity, and other parts of ourselves are important in the therapy work.

Jon Prezant
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW, MA, CST — Sex & Couples Therapist
Maybe desire has gone quiet, or sex has started to feel like a test you keep failing. Maybe you’re trying to recover from a betrayal, or your sexual behavior feels out of your control. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same fight. Sexual and relationship struggles are rarely just about sex, or just about the relationship. They’re tangled up in history, body, culture, and the expectations we’ve absorbed about who we’re supposed to be.
I’m an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist and LCSW, and I work online with adults and couples. Much of my work is with men (gay, straight, and everywhere in between) and with couples, including gay, queer, and mixed-orientation couples. I also have a deep commitment to Jewish clients, especially gay and queer Jews who have felt isolated or pushed out of community by antisemitism.
I’m direct, warm, and honest. I won’t hand you a script. Therapy with me is a place to build the capacity your life and relationships actually need, so you can be more honest with yourself, more flexible with each other, and less ruled by shame.

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.

Colette Pauta
Counselor/Therapist
If you're looking for someone who will truly listen and help you feel heard and seen, my goal is to offer a space where you don't have to filter or perform. I take a warm, relational, and collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you where you're at with curiosity and care. I believe that humor has a place in healing, and when used thoughtfully, it can make difficult conversations feel less intimidating and more human. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in understanding how your experiences, relationships, and environment shape the challenging you're facing. Together, we'll explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that feel relevant to your everyday life. Therapy with me is not about having all the answers, it's about creating space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. Whether you're thinking about therapy for the first time, or have been in the counseling space before, I welcome the opportunity to get to know who you are at your core.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Something in you may already know that what you're carrying runs deeper than the problem that brought you here. I work with individuals and couples who want to understand what is happening in their relationships, in their sexual lives, and in themselves, including anxiety and patterns that keep repeating, and what might be getting in the way. I work psychoanalytically, and I draw on clinical sexology, hypnosis, and awareness of the body.
I'm curious about what happens to our own wants and our sense of ourselves when someone else becomes important to us, and how that shows up in the way we desire and the way we hold back. The work is exploratory and depth-oriented, and people usually meet with me regularly over time. It tends to suit people who want to understand themselves more fully, and it is less likely to suit someone looking for a few quick sessions.
I offer a free 10-minute introductory consultation, and I meet with people primarily online, including internationally.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Many of the people I work with are insightful, capable, and used to being the strong one—but inside, they feel overwhelmed, lonely, or unsure how to change the patterns they keep repeating. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about creating a space where you can be fully seen and understood while we gently and honestly look at what isn’t working and why. My style is warm, direct, and deeply relational. I help people understand their emotional patterns, attachment wounds, identity questions, and relationship dynamics so they can live with more clarity, self-trust, and freedom.
