Robert dos Santos Teixeira
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, SMF, MPIA, MA, MSW, LCSW
When you lose the little self, you find the bigger Self. You are the Light Who shines through the eyes: You are Ancient, Eternal, Infinite, One, and Unchanging Light. My job is to help you step out of the little self (the flesh-and-blood self), which is experiencing the pain of addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, etc., and into Who You really are. As a result, you will gain observer consciousness, which offers freedom, healing, transformation, and ultimately awakening.

Jennifer Bearden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi, I’m Jennifer, a psychotherapist dedicated to helping adults move beyond anxiety, self-doubt, and self-criticism to reconnect with their innate capacity to heal and thrive. My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy, integrating evidence-based methods that address both mind and body for deeper, lasting change. Together, we’ll identify the roots of your challenges, work through barriers, and develop practical tools that foster self-acceptance, emotional balance, and more fulfilling connections. Having personally experienced the transformative power of quality therapy, I bring not only expertise but genuine empathy and understanding to our work—so you can step confidently into a life of clarity, connection, and growth.

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.
