Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Online therapy in Rhode Island for anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and mood disorders. I work with adults 18+ seeking practical, evidence-based support for anxiety, PTSD, panic, emotional regulation, and serious mental health concerns, including bipolar disorder and psychotic-spectrum conditions. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and focused on real-world coping skills that help clients feel more stable and in control. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to help you move forward with confidence.

Shaelyn Cataldo
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
I believe symptoms are often messages, not flaws. Anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, and relationship struggles are frequently adaptations developed in response to earlier experiences and environments. My role is to help clients understand these patterns with compassion rather than criticism.
I provide a warm, honest, and direct therapeutic space where insight is paired with meaningful action. Together, we explore how your past experiences continue to shape your present relationships, nervous system, and sense of self while gently building new ways of relating to yourself and others.
I integrate EMDR, somatic therapy, attachment-focused work, and parts work to help clients heal at the root, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and create lasting change.

Haley Busch
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
My life’s work is helping clients slow down and truly be with themselves long enough to understand who they are, what they need, and how they want to move forward. It's an honor to walk alongside professionals and parents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties, including attachment-related patterns. I also specialize in perinatal mental health: pregnancy-related and postpartum anxiety and depression, infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy after loss. I'm especially well-matched for high-achieving adults who sense there's something deeper going on and feel ready to dig in.

Providence is home to Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and Providence College — together generating significant student mental health demand and a creative, intellectually engaged population that views therapy favorably and tends toward longer-term, exploratory work. The city has a large Cape Verdean and Latino community, with a significant Guatemalan and Dominican population that creates demand for culturally affirming, Spanish-speaking therapists who understand the particular dynamics of immigrant family life in New England. Rhode Island Hospital and the Brown University Health system provide institutional mental health resources, while Brown's Warren Alpert Medical School maintains important psychiatric training programs. Providence's arts and hospitality economy creates consistent demand for therapists experienced with creative identity, economic precarity, and the mental health challenges of artists and performers.
