Elizabeth Peterson
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MHC-LP
You’ve done what you can to survive. Let’s talk about how to start thriving. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or unsure of your next step, therapy can be a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself, your needs, and your hopes for the future. I work with clients of all ages to explore what’s getting in the way and to build new paths forward rooted in self-understanding, choice, and connection.
I offer a warm, collaborative space where clients feel seen and supported. My work is grounded in CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Person-Centered approaches, with a feminist lens. I help with anxiety, depression, identity exploration, life transitions, and relationships. Supporting clients of all ages in navigating emotional and social challenges.

Patrice Arrington
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to feel like you’re holding it all together on the outside while falling apart on the inside. As a woman, a mother, and a helper by nature, I’ve lived the tension between being everything for everyone and still wondering, “But what about me?” That lived experience fuels my passion for helping women create space to heal, feel, and finally choose themselves without guilt. My style is warm, real, and rooted in both clinical expertise and deep empathy. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start transforming, I’d be honored to walk that journey with you.

Emily M Bradley, Psychotherapist
Art Therapist, LCAT
I specialize in helping people who always put themselves last, get better at prioritizing themselves. Do you keep it together on the outside while suffering with anxiety or depression on the inside? Do you put all your energy into making other people feel comfortable but can’t remember the last time you felt calm or happy? People pleasing, hyper-independence, overachieving, and conflict avoidance are really common survival strategies for people who had difficult childhood experiences. If this sounds like you, you probably already know that suppressing your own needs and desires can negatively impact your relationships, physical health, and emotional wellbeing. Maybe you’re beginning to realize this isn’t working for you anymore, and you’re longing to unearth a more authentic version of yourself. You might feel scared or think it’s impossible, but you don’t have to do it alone! I can help you explore the root causes through family dynamics, traumatic experiences, attachment, and identity, to discover and take better care of your true self.
I have over 20 years of experience treating adults who are struggling with overwhelming emotions, life transitions, and difficult past experiences. My approach is warm, gentle, and trauma-informed. I’ll collaborate with you to integrate an insight-oriented framework with a variety of innovative holistic tools and engaging creative practices, based on your needs and strengths. Together, we’ll build a toolbox that you can start to use right away, while also cultivating insights for long term healing and growth. You’ll be in the driver’s seat, so you feel safe and empowered, so you can really own the work you do on your healing journey.

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.
