Self Psychology
Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Therapy can offer a space to better understand yourself and the experiences that have shaped you. I help adults make sense of trauma, neurodivergence, burnout, identity, and life transitions by understanding their experiences within the context of their relationships, environments, and the systems they have navigated. Together, we'll build practical skills, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change in a compassionate, collaborative space.

Self Psychology
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
We often think of ourselves as what we are given, but instead it's what we make of what we're given. I am guided by a view of identity as a creative narrative and see distress as often occurring when we feel stuck in that creation, bound to selves and lives that aren't working. The goal in therapy is not only to understand how and why we got stuck, but to reengage with our creative and imaginative selves, allowing us to explore new facets of ourselves and experiment with new ways of being. In many ways, we reduce suffering by reintroducing play in our worlds.

Self Psychology
Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
Often, perfectionistic and high-striving individuals are both curious about therapy and ambivalent about seeking it. They may feel excited by the possibility of understanding themselves more deeply, while also unsettled by the idea of asking for help with one’s own mind. For people who are used to being competent, self-reliant, and in control, therapy can feel exposing at first.
Michael helps clients understand this hesitation not as resistance, but as part of the work itself: the wish to grow alongside the fear of needing anything at all. Many clients become more comfortable once they see that therapy is not simply about “talking about feelings,” but about learning to observe the mind with more honesty and precision.
Therapy becomes a disciplined space for reflection, which itself can be a powerful tool for developing emotional clarity, self-awareness, and greater freedom in how one responds to pressure, relationships, and oneself. Michael is also attentive to the ways thoughtful, high-striving people can use insight, analysis, mindfulness, or even spiritual ideas to move around painful emotional material rather than through it. When this pattern is noticed early, it can be addressed directly and compassionately, helping therapy remain grounded, emotionally honest, and clinically useful.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
I do my best to listen in the service of understanding and provide thoughtful responsiveness, which I have found helps my clients connect to their inner life and with others. Using gentle honesty and compassion, I value autonomy and collaboration to help people feel less alone while finding a sense of purpose within their lives and in the world.
