Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Fear, anxiety, anger, shame, guilt, sadness; we are taught to repress these uncomfortable emotions and mask our pain. When these BIG emotions are shoved down for so long, they try to get our attention in various ways. We push back harder. They often manifest as maladaptive behaviors, habits, addictions, and even chronic physical and psychological conditions. We may overeat, overwork, over-promise, people-please, self-sabotage, be unable to focus, thrill-seek, put ourselves in danger, act out, procrastinate, deplete our own resources, and more. The majority of this type of unwanted behavior and thinking often can be traced back to some form of trauma, abuse, abandonment, or neglect. My hypnotherapy sessions help to process the emotions in a safe and loving way, and facilitate healing; so you feel safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin. We simultaneously work on reframing the debilitating thoughts and behaviors with healthy and supportive new ones that support your new goals. It is in this way we let go of the old stories and rewrite the future of our dreams.

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. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping clients through burnout, disconnection, and feelings of anxiety, apathy, and "not enough." This often happens when we're trying to do all the things for all the people (at work and/or at home) while slowly abandoning ourselves. Burnout is often felt in midlife but can hit us at any age because, let's face it, life seems to feel more and more demanding.
I also help clients with ADHD and executive functioning. This may look like procrastination, perfectionism, distraction, overwhelm, difficulty setting goals and organizing tasks, challenges with time management, and avoidance.
Finally, I'm a single mom by choice and know how daunting this option can feel like for single women considering this for themselves. I can be a partner and help you navigate the exploration process, the trying journey, and the living-it experience as a solo parent by choice. You don't have to do this alone.

Dr. Kelly Scherger
Psychologist, PhD, CST
As a licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist, I believe therapy is a collaborative and meaningful process that can help you reconnect with yourself, strengthen your relationships, and create a life that is in line with your personal values. My approach is compassionate, individualized, evidence-based, and grounded in the understanding that emotional well-being, physical health, sexual wellness, and relationships are deeply interconnected.
In my practice, I work with individual adults and couples navigating concerns related to intimacy and sexual health, anxiety, depression, chronic health conditions, chronic pain, sleep difficulties, and life and relationship stress. I understand how easily your own needs, confidence, and sense of connection can become secondary to the stress and demands of everyday life. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, gain perspective, and explore meaningful ways to move forward.
My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make changes that align with your values. Whether you are seeking deeper intimacy, improved emotional well-being, more restful sleep, or a stronger connection with yourself and your partner, I would be honored to support your journey.
