Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I specialize in helping trauma survivors, especially survivors of childhood and/or adult sexual trauma, reclaim the life they were meant to live. If you're struggling with symptoms related to trauma, such as being easily triggered, anxiety or depression, dissociation (feeling spaced out, numb, unable to ground, or connect to your body's sensations) trouble sleeping, nightmares, or flashbacks and more, you're in the right place (for an extensive list of trauma symptoms check out my post https://www.healingsexualtrauma.com/post/what-are-trauma-symptoms). My goal is to help you get the results you're looking for while offering lots of needed compassion and understanding. I'm the author of the Healing Sexual Trauma Workbook, the upcoming Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal (2024), and teacher of the PESI Sexual Trauma Clinical Training. I'm dedicated to supporting my clients as they navigate their healing journey.

Cory Schneider Psychotherapy & Associates
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Life can be complicated, and sometimes it feels like the challenges just don’t let up—whether it’s managing anxiety, navigating depression, overcoming substance use, or balancing the dynamics of neurodiversity. If you’re facing distress or relationship struggles, you don’t have to face them alone.
I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals, youth, and couples, providing a compassionate and affirming space to explore your experiences, uncover clarity, and move toward healing and connection. For individuals, we’ll collaborate to understand the complexities of your life, work through current challenges, and develop strategies that bring meaningful, lasting change.
For LGBTQ+ couples, I focus on helping you identify and shift unhelpful patterns, deepen emotional bonds, and build a more secure, fulfilling connection. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to guide couples toward greater understanding and closeness, even in the face of relational distress.
If you’re ready to rediscover balance, connection, and well-being, I’m here to support you on the journey. Let’s take the first step together.

One of my favorite quotes... "You’re so hard on yourself. Take a moment. Sit back. Marvel at your life: at the grief that softened you, at the heartache that wisened you, at the suffering that strengthened you. Despite everything, You still grow. Be proud of this.” —Unknown

Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Why did no one warn you about how hard the transition to parenthood was going to be? You often feel that you’re not doing a “good enough” job and wonder why other parents seem to have it all figured out. You may not have had the pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience that you wanted. You love your baby more than anything but you don’t always love being a parent.
I’ve been there. Therapy is a resource that helped me feel less alone as I navigated the immense changes that came with becoming a parent. I’m a queer mother of twins and my lived experience with fertility challenges, perinatal loss, birth trauma, NICU parenting, and perinatal mood disorders drew me to this work.

Gwen Grigsby
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Thank you for your interest in my practice. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning, seeking support is a courageous step toward personal growth and happiness. If you’re navigating life’s challenges, remember that you’re not alone. We all face difficult times, and it’s important to know you don’t have to manage it all by yourself. I believe we all possess the innate capacity to overcome life’s toughest experiences. Sometimes, we just need a little support to uncover our inner strength. In a safe space to share and explore, you can rediscover your authentic self and embrace life more fully. I would be honored to accompany you on your journey.
