Alyssa Steinway
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As multi-dimensional beings, it can often be difficult to find spaces where all aspects of our identities are truly seen, understood, and embraced. In our quest for belonging, we may disconnect from certain parts of ourselves, which can lead to feelings of isolation or unfulfillment. My goal is to create a space where individuals are invited to reconnect with every layer of their being—even those parts that may feel “too much” for the world around them.
I believe that behavior is learned and often arises as a function of survival. From this perspective, individuals can tap into their innate resiliency and explore their most authentic selves, discovering what they are truly seeking from therapy. I value the importance of being present in the "here and now," as research has shown that trauma is often stored in the body, and emotions serve as the vehicles through which the body seeks to restore balance after trauma.
As a therapist, my role is to establish a positive, supportive environment—a safe and nonjudgmental space where we can explore the emotional and relational experiences that have caused ongoing pain and suffering. This deep process offers insight into the internalized messages and experiences that shape a client's narrative of the world, while also providing a healing relational experience that the client can internalize as part of their transformation.

Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
The pain of trying to stay the same has become unbearable. You might look fine on the outside but inside, you’re unraveling. Panic, numbness, or a deep sense of disconnection is starting to take over your days. You’re exhausted from overthinking and pretending to be okay. I help sensitive women and queer adults who feel like they’re at a breaking point, and don’t know where to turn.

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.
