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.

Lauren Palumbo
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Do anxiety, irritability, negative feelings, or self-doubt weigh you down? Maybe you've been to therapy before and even understand why you feel the way you do, but insight alone hasn't been enough to shift your situation. Transformation comes from experience, not just knowing, and it should be 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.

Emily S. Rosen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, BCD
Psychotherapy (or counseling) is talking with a trained professional about your fears, concerns, behaviors, desires and dreams. My goal is to help you better understand yourself. You may seek treatment with me because you have been given a specific mental health diagnosis. Or you may seek treatment because you would like help dealing with a specific challenge such as job dissatisfaction or difficulty finding a partner.
During a psychotherapy session, you will learn more about your behaviors, your thoughts and your feelings. Psychotherapy allows you to understand and take control of your life through new knowledge and coping skills.

Truth Berenson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer counseling and coaching for individuals of all genders, sexualities, racial identities, and family formations. My work is rooted in developing a strong therapeutic relationship. Within the counselor-client connection, clients are invited to explore relational dynamics and to safely become more honest with themselves and others. Through collaboration, I support clients to clearly identify boundaries, honor desires, and expand their capacity to tap into innate resources. My approach is informed by psychodynamic theory, spiritual and archetypal counseling, parts work, creative arts therapy, and goal-oriented coaching in addition to somatic interventions. These coupled with a client-centered and anti-oppressive lens facilitate changes that are both radical and sustainable.
Areas of specialty include: partnership and family conflict, self doubt, guilt & shame, eating disorders & body image, gender, sexuality, LGBTQIA+ experiences, transitioning, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction, attachment, polyamory, family dynamics, interpersonal and communal conflict, spiritual growth, strengthening intuition, political identity, financial stability, transitions, and creative blocks.
My therapeutic style is intuitive, fierce, and nurturing. With passion and humor, I approach each person with deep respect for the grace and grit of human experience and an abiding trust in each individual's capacity for growth and resilience.
I also support couples struggling to navigate both the inevitable and unexpected challenges of partnership. Every partnership has unique strengths and challenges and even the strongest relationships sometimes need help weathering life's hardships, be they related to health concerns, finances, sexuality and intimacy, children, work stress, extended family, etc.
Couples counseling can help partners improve communication, develop a deeper understanding of each other's experiences, increase awareness of intentions and impact, and relate to each other with compassion and curiosity rather than judgment.
I support couples to make collaborative decisions and move through conflict with courage, honesty, and mutual respect.
Partners learn communication and deescalation skills, develop resiliency, and grow as individuals and partners. Together we can identify and heal attachment wounds, explore power dynamics, and build trust.

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.
