Relational Psychotherapy
Danielle Pigno
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I provide psychotherapy for individuals facing a wide range of challenges and mental health concerns. My mission is to help people from all walks of life to ultimately live their best lives. I seek to empower those who are looking to better understand themselves, cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress, or want to incorporate mental health into their overall well-being. My approach is NOT "one-size fits all." I work to personalize treatment to best match your specific needs and goals for therapy. If you seek a supportive and non-judgmental environment to tap into your most profound potential, choose me as your ally. Together we will identify your truest desires, pave the best courses of action to attain them, and help you become the greatest version of yourself!

Relational Psychotherapy
Marina Goldenberg
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC
My approach is informed by various modalities, including CBT, REBT and dynamic theories, and I incorporate elements of mindfulness, values and meaning to guide my work with each client. Everyone has unique priorities, strengths, needs and preferences, and when we work from an approach that honors those parts of you, we see the biggest change in well-being and quality of life. I'm warm, funny (sometimes we'll laugh together and sometimes you'll laugh at me, either way, if you're able to laugh it can help make the hard work of therapy a little easier), and my number one goal is to foster safety and security and approach each person's unique experience and struggle from a place of curiosity and non-judgment. One of the hardest things about modern life is that we have more means of connection today than ever before, yet we feel more disconnected. My hope is to help you foster that sense of connection, in the therapy room, with your significant people, and most importantly, yourself. Sometimes, you need someone to listen to and reflect what you're going through, sometimes you need someone to give you strategies to problem solve or cope, and sometimes you need someone to call you out when you're standing in your own way, and that's how I approach therapy.

Relational Psychotherapy
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.

Hillary Geffner LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I specialize in supporting individuals and couples as they navigate life’s challenges, whether large or small. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we work together to identify and transform patterns that may be holding you back from living authentically and fully. Through our work, you’ll build emotional resilience, deepen self-awareness, and cultivate greater confidence and self-worth. Together, we’ll enhance communication and intimacy in your relationships, reduce emotional reactivity, and help you break free from self-defeating cycles, empowering you to create the life and connections you desire.
Our work will focus on exploration, empowerment, authenticity, and healing. I aim to help transform conflict into opportunities for growth, connection, and deeper understanding. Taking an active role in the therapeutic process, I reflect your strengths and highlight areas for growth. Investing in your mental well-being can lead to profound shifts in every aspect of your life. Family, friendships, love, career, and wellness—it’s all interconnected. By nurturing your inner well-being, you create a ripple effect that positively influences every other area of your life.

Stacy King
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
"It is only when compassion is present that people allow themselves to see the truth."~A.H. Almaas.
Working in the field for 20 years has taught me that the greatest gift I can give someone is my presence, my compassion, and my space-holding. I have witnessed many people heal their inner child, trauma, and early wounding through our work together. Self love and discovering the true self is key, and this is a foundational practice of my approach.

Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
Despite being connected to nature and on a spiritual path, you’re still experiencing shame and extremely negative self-talk or feeling ‘too late’ to pursue your desires. That tyrant in your brain is killing your joy, making you feel alone and overwhelmed. Unresolved trauma has made it difficult to get through a day or be present in your relationships. You painfully over-focus on all the shoulds and wonder if you could lobotomize yourself. You've tried it all, but when you live with untreated trauma, you age but struggle to grow.
I can help you turn that vocal but unhelpful tyrant into fierce inner support. You’ll learn to foster healing by grounding yourself in the present and allowing yourself to safely touch your pain because that's actually your inner gold. The muck is where the magic happens! Book your free 15-minute consultation today with Creative Now Therapy and start living with more ease and joy.

Jenna Sackman - Online/Virtual Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I specialize in working with individuals (children, teens and adults) and couples, and I am incredibly passionate about the work I do and the people with whom I have the honor to work. My areas of expertise are anxiety / stress, relationship challenges, conflict resolution, intrusive negative thoughts and patterns, loss/grief and depression.
Most clients and couples choose to work with me because they are looking for nontraditional therapy that provides them with concrete skills to improve their everyday lives and/or address specific concerns. Holistic and integrative in my approach, I believe that there is no "one size fits all" in therapy. Therefore, I uniquely tailor therapy sessions to meet each client's needs and goals. With extensive experience and training in results oriented and solutions focused cognitive therapies, positive psychology, mindfulness, Buddhist Psychology, Gottman Method for Couples, meditation, and yoga, I offer creative approaches that result in meaningful change and growth.
Above all, I am committed to creating therapeutic relationships that are built on trust, respect, transparency, empathy, honesty, and equality, and I always counsel from a nonjudgmental place of understanding and compassion.
I am happy to offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to see how I can best support you! Why wait tomorrow when you can start today? Please reach out to schedule your free consultation on my calendar: https://calendly.com/jenna-sackman/phone-consultation

Relational Psychotherapy
Lauren Palumbo
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Does your life look good on paper, but beneath the surface, anxiety, irritability, negative feelings, and self-doubt weigh you down? Maybe you even understand why you feel the way you do, but insight alone hasn't been enough to shift your situation. True healing goes beyond talking and symptom management, it's something you can feel. My work is experiential and collaborative, helping you explore what's below the surface and access your inner strength and resilience. If you’re tired of chasing a sense of peace that always feels just out of reach, I’d love to help you find something real and lasting.
