EFT
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.

Farzana Rahman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D
Having worked for a decade, I have supported clients through the nuanced and demanding areas of interpersonal stress, major life transitions, identity exploration, and the long-lasting impact of early adverse childhood experiences. I hold particular care and awareness towards the cultural, relational, and systemic forces that shape a person’s sense of self. I feel especially attuned to how family histories and early attachments influence adult relationships, therefore, I often invite clients to explore identity, unlearn old narratives, and build relationships that feel grounded and authentic. My unique, yet collective experiences as a child of immigrant parents and a South Asian woman allow me to recognize how family expectations, cultural identity, gender identity, and other parts of ourselves are important in the therapy work.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Many of the people I work with are insightful, capable, and used to being the strong one—but inside, they feel overwhelmed, lonely, or unsure how to change the patterns they keep repeating. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about creating a space where you can be fully seen and understood while we gently and honestly look at what isn’t working and why. My style is warm, direct, and deeply relational. I help people understand their emotional patterns, attachment wounds, identity questions, and relationship dynamics so they can live with more clarity, self-trust, and freedom.

Ebony Woney
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
If you’ve been holding it all together for everyone else but feel like you’re falling apart inside, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep doing it that way.
I work with women who are navigating life’s transitions while carrying the weight of expectations, responsibilities, and emotional overwhelm. On the outside, you may look like you have it all together, but internally, you may feel exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of who you are anymore.
Therapy with me is a space where you can be real, no pressure to perform, no need to have the “right” words. I bring a warm, honest, and down-to-earth approach, helping you make sense of what you’re feeling while also giving you practical tools to move forward.
Whether you’re dealing with burnout, relationship challenges, motherhood, or simply trying to find your way back to yourself, we’ll work together to help you feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally supported.

Lucas Saiter
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.A., LMHC
My approach combines psychodynamic, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to support insight and meaningful, lasting change. I am trained in EMDR and incorporate it into treatment when helpful. Therapy with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and engaged. Together, we’ll explore patterns, clarify your goals, and build a stronger sense of authenticity, self-understanding, and agency.
