Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Dr. Jillian Neill
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
Growth and change are hard for everyone. They are even harder if we do not have the insight and the tools to help us navigate them. My goal as a therapist is to help you live the life you want to be leading: a life aligned with your values and focused on what is important to you. The road to adult "success" can be full of unexpected detours and barriers. Sometimes, we need support overcoming those barriers or even charting an entirely new path from our previous notions of what it means to be happy, whole, or fulfilled.
Using a variety of approaches, I work with clients to heal old wounds, understand their patterns, and examine the present and the future to build towards their goals. I am trained in EMDR to treat trauma, and also use talk therapy approaches to help clients achieve healing and balance in their lives.

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.

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.

Alvina Anantram
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., LMHC
Hi, I’m Alvina! I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, relationship insecurity, low self-esteem, and patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, or emotional dependence on others for reassurance and validation.
Many of my clients feel unchosen in relationships, become anxious around communication or connection, and over-extend themselves to feel worthy or secure. While these patterns may be familiar, they can still feel difficult to shift.
In therapy, we go beyond coping strategies and surface-level insight. We explore the root of relationship anxiety and attachment patterns, helping you develop emotional grounding, self-trust, and a more secure sense of self. This deeper work supports lasting change — allowing you to relate to yourself and others with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional stability.
If you’re looking for therapy that addresses the ‘why’ beneath your patterns and supports meaningful, long-term change, I invite you to send me a message today to get started!

Jan Nelson LCSW-R
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, MSW
If you are struggling within yourself or what exists outside of you, I can help you create authentic and lasting change so you can experience life in your best way possible. It's the small steps and shifts that lead us to new paths of learning, growing and change. My work with you can transform your life in ways that you may not have ever thought was imaginable. Why not start with a brief conversation with me and just see how that goes. You might be surprised at how feeling genuinely seen and heard can bring new feelings and thoughts to mind. This is the art of therapy and change, creating new experiences.
