Amherst, New York therapist: Clara Kuntz, psychologist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

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.

New York City, New York therapist: Dr. Erica Gardner-Schuster, psychologist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

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.

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

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.

Brooklyn, New York therapist: Wayne Ayers, psychologist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Wayne Ayers

Psychologist, PhD
Psychotherapy can be challenging, but it is a rewarding process. Most people come in to discuss the problems in their lives. They often forget about what is going well, and what are their natural talents and abilities. I train and supervise psychologists at area hospitals. Because of this I am sensitive to ethical concerns: honesty, integrity and practicality. I strive to create a very kind and safe atmosphere where personal exploration is possible. Psychotherapy should be collaborative. I am active and vocal and give my clients ongoing feedback, inquiry and support.
