Dr. Erica Gardner-Schuster
Psychologist, PhD
I am a specialized trauma- & attachment-oriented group therapist committed to helping adults heal, grow and cultivate more fulfilling relationships and lives. In my groups, healing happens in the context of a safe therapeutic community of fellow travelers who can relate, help each other feel less alone, and support one another in making the changes needed to get more out of life. I also use a liberation psychology lens to help group members explore the intersection of cultural and identify factors and mental health and feel more confident and empowered in their lives.
Group therapy can help you find deeper meaning and connection through the practice of authenticity: "letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are" (Brené Brown). By helping you bring your full authentic self into connection, Group can help you transcend loneliness to find more fulfilling relationships. Group can help you lean into your life with more courage, compassion and vulnerability. Group can support your unique journey as you find your way home to where you belong, and to the relationships that sustain you.

Michael Lockwood of Scene Creative Life Solutions
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
Diving into the intricacies of the human mind during my undergraduate years, my focus settled on the connection between trauma and creative expression. This passion evolved, leading me to pursue a Master's Degree at University of Southern California. I've had the privilege of aiding individuals from diverse backgrounds in conquering challenges like depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, addiction, self-worth issues, and relationship discord. My clientele spans the spectrum, including fine artists, members of the entertainment industry, writers, and performers.
What fuels my dedication is the belief that everyone has the capacity to overcome obstacles and fulfill their life's purpose. In our initial conversation, I'm confident my enthusiasm for helping individuals, fostering self-expression, and navigating life's hurdles will become apparent. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet with you, delve into your unique needs, and collaborate on solutions for your concerns.

Emily Scott
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am a fat, queer, neurodiverse, cisgender therapist who knows the importance of feeling seen and understood by your therapist. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community I want to offer gender and queer-affirming services to those who identify as gay, lesbian, transgender, TGNC, gender non-conforming, genderqueer, gender fluid, intersex, CNM, polyamorous, kink, and questioning. I also believe in the importance of sharing space for multiple identities and being a culturally competent provider.

Dustin Kerrone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I find that for most of us, we heal best when we can feel completely accepted without judgment or critique by another, and then learn for ourselves how to value the full range of our own emotions. By relaxing our self-control and increasing self-compassion, feelings can get unstuck and flow more freely, generating new vitality, action, and wonder.
Wherever you are, we can establish a safe space on Zoom where I will help you cultivate your own distinctive insight, wisdom, and imagination. I combine many powerful modalities, including Jungian inner work, neuroscience, fitness, career, and spirituality, but I will carefully tailor my approach to honor your unique needs and possibilities.
