Mary Gale Gurnsey
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I became passionate about this work because I've witnessed how deeply relationship trauma affects people's ability to trust themselves and others. Many of my clients come in feeling lost, unsure of what healthy actually looks like, and carrying the weight of past relationships where they lost their sense of self.
What I love most is helping people recognize that they're not broken — they're responding logically to what they've experienced. By understanding your attachment patterns and past dynamics, we can build a different future. My goal is to help you feel secure in yourself while building relationships where you're truly valued as an equal partner.
I believe therapy should be collaborative, non-judgmental, and respectful of your pace.

Maggie McCarthy
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW
I work with women & LGBTQIA+ adults and couples who are uncertain about their path forward. My approach is rooted in cultural sensitivity and collaboration, customized to fit your identity and dreams, with a strong emphasis on ensuring your comfort and safety. I draw on a variety of therapeutic techniques to help you process past wounds, improve how you communicate, and clarify your next steps. My ultimate goal is to help you feel safe, confident, and aligned with who you are. We’ll work to foster a healthy relationship with yourself, while building stronger, more authentic connections with others. Healing your self-acceptance doesn’t have to be done alone. Let’s take that step forward together and create a life filled with more meaning and joy.
My mission is to help you feel safe, empowered, and at peace in your own skin. Together, we’ll strengthen your relationship with yourself and foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships with others. If self-acceptance feels overwhelming, you don’t have to face it alone. Let’s build a life you love and feel vibrant in!

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.

Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
You are not too sensitive. You are not failing at healing. Your body has just been running an old survival program for a long time, and it’s tired. I work with sensitive women and queer adults who are done performing “fine” while quietly falling apart.
