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.

Healing Space Therapy Collective
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-QS, CST
At Healing Space Therapy Collective, we believe therapy should feel both grounding and transformative. Our practice was built on the idea that meaningful mental health care requires depth, warmth, and clinical skill—not just coping strategies, but real understanding.
We work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, communication breakdowns, intimacy concerns, and life transitions. Many of our clients are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who appear “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck internally. Others are couples who love each other but feel caught in repeating patterns they don’t know how to change.
Our therapists are trained in psychotherapy and sex therapy and provide identity-affirming, kink- and ENM-aware care. We balance compassion with thoughtful feedback, helping clients gain insight, build emotional regulation skills, and strengthen their relationships. Sessions are collaborative, intentional, and tailored to your goals.
We offer secure online therapy throughout Florida, making it easier to access consistent, high-quality mental health care from wherever you are. Whether you’re seeking clarity, reconnection, healing, or growth, we’re here to support lasting change—not just temporary relief.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance), and the brain/body's ability to heal. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and mind/body tools to assist you in your healing. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic, and knowledgeable.

City Mental Health Counseling
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As a licensed therapist and passionate advocate for mental health equity, I founded CMHC with a clear mission: to create an affirming, inclusive, and culturally diverse space where LGBTQ+ individuals and people from all backgrounds can feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My journey into therapy was shaped by both personal experience and a professional calling—recognizing the deep need for compassionate, identity-affirming care in communities that have too often been marginalized or overlooked.
