Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
What makes my practice unique is the way I integrate evidence-based care with a deeply collaborative, person-centered approach. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel safe enough to be fully themselves, understood without judgment, and supported in a way that honors their autonomy, values, and lived experience.
I work from a place of curiosity, respect, and cultural sensitivity. I always meeting clients where they are and moving at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor therapy using various modalities to fit each person’s needs, goals, and emotional experiences.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to navigate what they are going through. My role is not to “fix” you, but to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and your emotional world so that you can begin responding to life with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
I also prioritize accessibility and convenience by offering fully virtual therapy, allowing you to access care from the comfort and privacy of your own space. With flexible scheduling, therapy can be integrated into your life in a way that feels realistic and supportive rather than overwhelming.
If you are looking for a therapeutic space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin creating meaningful change that aligns with who you are and what matters to you, I would be honored to work with you.

Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Our relationships—with partners, family, friends, and ourselves—shape so much of how we move through the world. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, trauma, identity concerns, parenting, self-esteem, and life transitions. My approach is warm, relational, and insight-oriented, helping clients better understand longstanding patterns, deepen self-awareness, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have particular expertise in perinatal mental health, cultural identity and immigration, attachment, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP).

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.

Neha Chawla
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, ATR-BC, LCAT, LP, FIPA
I believe that taking the time and effort to self-reflect, observe ourselves and delve deeper into the root causes of our conflicts, challenges, painful relationships and difficult realities is a worthwhile endeavor. The process of turning inward, inquiring into yourself and getting to know your own mind is a vital self-investment that can help you experience this life with more depth, freedom and contentment. Together we can discover important insights, new coping strategies and engender a sense of clarity and purpose in a safe, meaningful and non-judgmental therapeutic space.
I have experience working with individuals and couples, often but not limited to issues around stress, depression or anxiety, burnout, career conflicts, unhealthy relationships patterns, communication issues, divorce, family conflicts, parenting challenges, creative blocks, social anxiety, sexuality, loss/grief, child and adult trauma and illness (chronic or terminal). Having served as a therapist in multiple settings from mental health clinics, hospitals, schools, universities and hospice care, my practice has spanned a wide variety of ages, settings and demographics.
I am passionate about my work and supporting people as they heal and grow and so, I invite you to meet with me for an initial consultation and decide for yourself whether we are a good working match.
