Psychoanalytic Therapy
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.

Amanda Martell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have been in the social work field for the past decade in a myriad of settings. I truly believe this wide range of experience in areas such as preventive, clinical, schools, shelters, etc. has given me a holistic understanding of the various needs of my clients. I bring this knowledge, my own background and experiences, and my clinical experience into therapy in order to provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment that promotes healing - no matter what a person's need or trauma is.

Psychoanalytic Therapy
Kaitlin McMahon, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you've been holding things on your own for a long time. I aim to create a space that feels steady, supportive, and genuinely collaborative--where you don't have to minimize your experiences or have everything figured out before you begin.
My work is grounded in the belief that people make sense of things through the context of what they've been through. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or trying to process difficult past experiences, therapy can be a place to sort through that at your own pace. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you make sense of what's coming up and move toward a life that feels more manageable and more like your own.

Psychoanalytic Therapy
Stacy King
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
"It is only when compassion is present that people allow themselves to see the truth."~A.H. Almaas.
Working in the field for 20 years has taught me that the greatest gift I can give someone is my presence, my compassion, and my space-holding. I have witnessed many people heal their inner child, trauma, and early wounding through our work together. Self love and discovering the true self is key, and this is a foundational practice of my approach.
