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.

Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
The pain of trying to stay the same has become unbearable. You might look fine on the outside but inside, you’re unraveling. Panic, numbness, or a deep sense of disconnection is starting to take over your days. You’re exhausted from overthinking and pretending to be okay. I help sensitive women and queer adults who feel like they’re at a breaking point, and don’t know where to turn.

Louise Perry
Therapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I am a highly trained and experienced psychotherapist specializing in Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). My approach is flexible and collaborative—therapy with me doesn’t have to involve art unless that resonates with you. I am here to help you explore what’s beneath the surface, untangle complex emotions, and create meaningful change in your life.
Before becoming a therapist, I built a successful career in design and technology. My own journey of personal growth and healing deepened my curiosity about people—what drives us, what holds us back, and what helps us thrive. This inspired me to retrain as a psychotherapist, combining my life experiences with professional expertise to support others on their journeys.
At my core, I am compassionate, empathic, and deeply committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space. While I can be direct when it’s helpful, my approach is always warm, grounded, and trustworthy.

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.

Barry Herbach
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You don’t have to stay stuck in old pain. I help people move through trauma, anxiety, and grief using EMDR therapy — a powerful, effective method that goes deeper than talk alone.
Most of my clients show up strong for others but feel overwhelmed inside. They’ve tried to “just move on” — but it’s not that simple. EMDR helps your nervous system finally let go.
I’ve been doing this work for nearly 30 years, and I bring a steady, compassionate presence to every session. We go at your pace. You don’t have to relive everything — but you don’t have to carry it alone either.
