Mary Gale Gurnsey
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I became passionate about this work because I've witnessed how deeply relationship trauma affects people's ability to trust themselves and others. Many of my clients come in feeling lost, unsure of what healthy actually looks like, and carrying the weight of past relationships where they lost their sense of self.
What I love most is helping people recognize that they're not broken — they're responding logically to what they've experienced. By understanding your attachment patterns and past dynamics, we can build a different future. My goal is to help you feel secure in yourself while building relationships where you're truly valued as an equal partner.
I believe therapy should be collaborative, non-judgmental, and respectful of your pace.

Chris Bradt
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
I am a mindfulness-based psychotherapist who believes that in the right context - namely, one of self-compassion and curiosity - we are all capable of healing and growth. I guide my clients in learning how to relate to themselves and the world in a way that is more conducive to creating desired changes in their lives. In a phrase, that's a matter of shifting from "How can I fix myself?" to "How can I take better care of myself?". If you're interested in seeing if we'd be a good fit, please visit my website or send me an email to schedule a free, 20-minute consultation call. I'd love to chat!

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine, collaborative relationship—one where you can speak freely and be met with curiosity rather than judgment. My approach is thoughtful and attuned, helping you make sense of patterns, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way and work toward a deeper understanding that can open up new possibilities for how you relate to yourself and others.

Alexis Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC
I am engaged and alert with my clients. I support your growth while Frustrating your defenses- I work to confront my clients in their blind spots, because (as a New Yorker) I understand that speaking from a place of love may not always mean people-pleasing. But with the warmth of my Californian identity, I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present.

Mira Cymerman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Thank you for visiting my profile! Reaching out takes courage, and I am glad you are here. Anxiety, depression, and burnout can make everyday life feel heavier than it should. With practice, you can feel your emotions without becoming overwhelmed. You can build confidence to make effective decisions and assert your needs. You can enjoy meaningful relationships without compromising your boundaries or values.
I first earned my BA in psychology from Columbia University, followed by my doctorate in psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology/Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. My previous roles as a school psychologist and special education chairperson have guided my work successfully, not only with students, but also with educators experiencing frustration and burnout in a fast-paced, demanding world.
In addition to being licensed in Maine and New York, I hold the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) credential from the PSYPACT Commission, which allows me me to provide out-of-network care for clients in participating states across the country.
