Jessica Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Therapy is such a powerful, deep journey. And it goes beyond words. Talk therapy is important for processing and reflection, yes, but for lasting change we need to bring in the wisdom of the body and the right brain, the emotional brain. We can experiment with guided visualization, inner child work, movement, body talk, and creative expression to tap into those parts of you. Let's explore what you need together. Your relationships, your work, your creativity, your sense of purpose and meaning will all benefit. It starts with you and your willingness to heal.

Alvina Anantram
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., LMHC
Hi, I’m Alvina! Taking this step to start or restart therapy is an incredible act of courage, and I want to commend you for it. Before we begin working together, let me share a bit about myself and the approach I take with my clients.
Growing up in the West Indian community, I noticed a lack of conversations and understanding around mental health. Challenges like anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles were often dismissed—especially for someone my age and gender. I was told there were “bigger problems” to focus on, which left me feeling unseen and overwhelmed.
It wasn’t until I found a safe space to explore my feelings and experiences that I began to process the societal pressures and unrealistic expectations I faced. I learned to navigate those pressures, trust my intuition, and honor my own needs with greater self-love and confidence.
Now, I’m passionate about creating that same safe space for you! Together, we’ll explore your core beliefs, attachment styles, and relationships to uncover what may be keeping you stuck or out of alignment with your goals. I encourage you to bring your full, authentic self into our work because I believe embracing all aspects of your identity is the key to showing up unapologetically in the world.
If you’re ready to start your self-empowerment journey, let’s connect—I can’t wait to support you!

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.
