Clara Kuntz
Psychologist, PhD
My approach to therapy is collaborative, personalized, and neurodiversity-affirming. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor our work to how your mind processes, focuses, and experiences the world. Together, we focus on practical strategies and deeper insight so you can move from simply getting through the day to feeling more grounded, balanced, and confident in yourself.

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.

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.

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.
