Relational Psychotherapy
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.

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.

Relational Psychotherapy
Greta Cowles Consulting
Life Coach, LMFT, SEP, PIT, Trauma Stress Studies
Depending on each client’s needs, Gretchen’s approach is tailor made, whether it be within the privacy of productive therapeutic meetings or within the courts for the benefit of the client. Each family member is considered to play a role in the emotional, behavioral and relational patterns with the family system. Gretchen’s approach allows for every member of the family to make changes and heal, as she doesn’t identify a single member as the scapegoat or “identified patient. Gretchen’s clients include high net-worth individuals, families, sports celebrities, entrepreneurs and executives.

Relational Psychotherapy
Andy Lapides
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, BCD
I am an experienced psychotherapist who has been practicing in the field for over twenty years, fifteen years in private practice. I see clients in New Jersey and New York state. I have advanced, post-graduate training in gestalt therapy and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I am genuine, funny, intelligent, sensitive, warm, and I can also be firm/direct depending on the need of the client. Sometimes we need different things in the work.. it takes an experienced, intuitive therapist to help us to really get to the heart of what we need to grow. I have helped many clients through quite challenging things in their lives.
Maybe you are facing something difficult, feel down, worried, overwhelmed, not getting what you want in your relationships, confused about who you are, or don't feel confident in yourself. Either way, I welcome you. Please email me or call. Therapy is a wonderful process and it's worth taking the risk of calling. Making that call is the first step.
