Rene Gonzalez
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Childhood emotional neglect (CEN) can happen in families with loving parents who weren't there for their kids enough, and in abusive ones, too. It can lead to anxiety, depression, or trauma, and because these experiences are about what didn't happen, the wounds can be hard to see. That's why having guidance from an expert can make such a difference. Treatment with me works because I have extensive training from institutions like NYU and Columbia, but also because I draw from my own healing journey to know what actually works.

Shauna Rychcik
Therapist, LMSW
As a therapist I deeply respect each client’s unique strengths and perspectives. Using a collaborative approach, I walk alongside clients as they heal from painful experiences, empowering them to write the next chapter of their life. Even in life’s most challenging moments, every individual has the capacity to heal and grow. I strive to create a space for this healing that is comfortable and safe where you feel free to express yourself fully and authentically.
Rooted in an LGBTQIA+ affirming and anti-racist framework, my approach blends evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy with a holistic understanding of each person's circumstances. Sessions are tailored to meet individual needs while celebrating and building on your strengths. My goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and supported as you work toward creating a life filled with meaning and fulfillment.
With warmth, empathy, and a sprinkle of humor (because let's face it, laughter is the best medicine after all), I aim to connect authentically with clients and trust in their power to reclaim their stories. Together, we can regain control over the narrative and begin a new chapter—a chapter of healing, growth, and empowerment.
