MERLYN HURD PHD QEEG D
Psychologist, PHD; QEEG D BCB, BCN
As a psychologist and neurotherapist for 30 years plus, I have worked with many clients with serious brain disorders and have been successful in assisting them in achieving good mental health. Each client is unique as well as their brains are unique and when the issues are pinpointed the journey to health can be achieved. I conduct a brain map analysis to pinpoint the dysregulations that are impeding the client and then construct protocols to address the issues. Clients have often commented that the work with myself and associates has provided them with quicker and more long lasting relief than many years of just talk therapy.
The best way to reach our office for questions or to schedule an appointment is via email rather than calling. Please email merlynh@nyneurofeedback.com

Tala Abu Rahma
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW
As an Arab-American therapist of color, I understand the value of working with a therapist who understands different cultural backgrounds, and believes that political and social structures create and worsen depression and anxiety symptoms. I will help you grow through empowerment, self-exploration, and building on your inner strengths. We may also explore your core beliefs about yourself and identify how these narratives are playing out in your life.
Our work will help you develop and maintain healthy relationships, develop positive coping strategies, shift thinking and behaviors, or come into a confident self. We will work collaboratively to develop a treatment plan and I will meet you where you are with empathy and acceptance.
My approach is an integration of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, which means I will explore the way you experienced the world from birth until present to identify habits and behaviors that have become roadblocks to living in alignment with the person you want to be.

Dr. Erica Gardner-Schuster
Psychologist, PhD
Do you long for greater love and purpose in your life? Do you feel lonely? Stuck in your struggles? Sad or down? Stressed or anxious?
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.
