CFT
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.

Clara Kuntz
Psychologist, PhD
My approach to therapy is collaborative, personalized, and neurodiversity-affirming. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor our work to how your mind processes, focuses, and experiences the world. Together, we focus on practical strategies and deeper insight so you can move from simply getting through the day to feeling more grounded, balanced, and confident in yourself.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance), and the brain/body's ability to heal. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and mind/body tools to assist you in your healing. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic, and knowledgeable.

Neha Chawla
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, ATR-BC, LCAT, LP, FIPA
I believe that taking the time and effort to self-reflect, observe ourselves and delve deeper into the root causes of our conflicts, challenges, painful relationships and difficult realities is a worthwhile endeavor. The process of turning inward, inquiring into yourself and getting to know your own mind is a vital self-investment that can help you experience this life with more depth, freedom and contentment. Together we can discover important insights, new coping strategies and engender a sense of clarity and purpose in a safe, meaningful and non-judgmental therapeutic space.
I have experience working with individuals and couples, often but not limited to issues around stress, depression or anxiety, burnout, career conflicts, unhealthy relationships patterns, communication issues, divorce, family conflicts, parenting challenges, creative blocks, social anxiety, sexuality, loss/grief, child and adult trauma and illness (chronic or terminal). Having served as a therapist in multiple settings from mental health clinics, hospitals, schools, universities and hospice care, my practice has spanned a wide variety of ages, settings and demographics.
I am passionate about my work and supporting people as they heal and grow and so, I invite you to meet with me for an initial consultation and decide for yourself whether we are a good working match.
