We offer various different treatments including EMDR, IFS, psychodrama, gestalt, expressive arts therapies, and more. The Phoenix Center for Experiential Trauma Therapy is named after the legendary figure of the phoenix that dies and is reborn from its own ashes – it is a symbol of transformation and resilience.

We offer counseling that combines the best of psychology with Catholic spirituality. In doing so we can treat the whole person, which can lead to the best outcomes.

Tracy Feldman-Ashdale
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to help clients create change in a way that feels realistic, compassionate, and sustainable. I combine accountability with warmth and support, helping women move beyond all-or-nothing thinking and develop habits that fit their real lives.
I also bring a highly personalized approach to each session. I understand that every woman’s relationship with health, stress, and self-care, and relationships is different, which is why I focus on helping clients build self-awareness, confidence, consistency, and trust in themselves—not just temporary motivation.
Clients often appreciate my ability to balance emotional insight with practical strategies, creating sessions that feel both supportive and empowering.

Sarah Sternlieb
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Do you feel like you’re stuck in the past, reliving what happened no matter how hard you try to move on? Do you have panic attacks, nightmares, or feel like your body is always on high alert? Experiences from childhood can continue to shape how you connect with others, see yourself, and move through the world.
I offer trauma therapy for adults who are ready to stop feeling trapped by what they’ve been through. Using EMDR and other mind-body approaches, we’ll work together to calm your nervous system, shift painful patterns, and help your brain process what’s been holding you back. You don’t have to tell your whole story for healing to happen.
Let’s take the first step toward something better. Book your free consultation today to get started.

Erika Barrington
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, BC-DMT
Hi! I’m Erika (they/them). I’m guided by curiosity, play, and the belief that there's always a reason why we act the way we do. Even if it doesn't make sense to us at first, I find that when I help clients explore their internal world with curiosity, we discover how resourceful and creative they had to be to get to this point. I also believe strongly that inside of us we embody a microcosm of larger systems around us. Once we bring awareness to these internal dynamics, we then have the opportunity to release and relearn ways to show up in the world that center our innate gifts and our connection to all living things.
Social Location:
I am a white, queer, genderqueer, neurodivergent, a non-gestational parent, and am not living with a physical disability right now. I hold awareness of the ways that my class privilege, college education, and white body privilege have shaped my experience of various mental health struggles and ADHD.
I feel most excited about life when I’m doing something creative and intentional with people (line dancing, singing, making collages) and most aligned with my purpose when I’m helping adults to play/move/create as part of their healing/recovery.

Hider Shaaban
Psychologist, PsyD
Whether it is trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, identity issue, acculturation & immigration, relationship problems, or anything in between that you are currently struggling with, it would be my pleasure to guide and help you through it. It may be a challenge sometimes to find a therapist who can meet your needs, which is why, in my opinion, the first and most important goal to accomplish together is a strong rapport. This will pave the way for you to have an environment that you can feel comfortable in, and for us to make progress in whichever area in your life that you need help and support with.
