Wayne Ayers
Psychologist, PhD
Psychotherapy can be challenging, but it is a rewarding process. Most people come in to discuss the problems in their lives. They often forget about what is going well, and what are their natural talents and abilities. I train and supervise psychologists at area hospitals. Because of this I am sensitive to ethical concerns: honesty, integrity and practicality. I strive to create a very kind and safe atmosphere where personal exploration is possible. Psychotherapy should be collaborative. I am vocal and active and give my clients ongoing feedback, inquiry and support.

Jem Wong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If you are looking for guidance with anxiety, fears, depression, or relationship and marriage counseling, it takes courage to ask for help. Admitting you can’t do everything on your own, is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast paced, demanding world.
The good news is, asking for help gets easier with a little practice. The way in which we cope in the world is greatly influenced by how we see the world. Asking for help, and obtaining a fresh perspective is often the first and most profound step toward developing the mental muscle needed to become stronger. The more support you gain, the better equipped you will be to take on bigger challenges and achieve more successes.
Psychotherapy can be an effective tool in providing you with the necessary support and training to overcome the challenges you face. By seeking therapy, you are taking responsibility and action to change what no longer works in your life. Many studies have shown throughout the years that psychotherapy is an effective form of treating and managing mental health, life transitions, and emotional health.

Rebecca, Mitchell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSEd, SIFI
Frequently, people who have experienced trauma develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival when you were a child, thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family and/or romantic relationships in adulthood. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to transcend patterns that are holding you back from achieving your goals, and realizing your potential. This often includes addressing family, career, and relationship issues within the treatment as well as recognizing thinking and/or behavior which may be harmful or holding you back.
I specialize in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and depression, and am certified in EMDR(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CPT and MI. My practice is influenced by CBT, psychodynamic, Schema, Internal Family Systems and mindfulness-based therapies. We will spend our first sessions exploring important historical information, assessing your needs, and setting goals.
You do not have to sit with your pain in silence, alone. I strive to nurture relationships with clients that are compassionate, kind, and non-judgmental, yet safe enough to tolerate direct but gentle confrontation. Together we will determine the approach and pace that will work best for you.

Jenna Smith
Therapist, MA, LCAT, MT-BC
As a licensed creative arts therapist & music psychotherapist, I use a an integrative, trauma-informed, humanistic, person centered and often somatic approach to growth & healing. I utilize music, art, play therapy and mindfulness, as well as traditional talk therapy, to foster self-expression and exploration in order to access and process challenging experiences, while nurturing self-discovery, acceptance, self-compassion & forgiveness. Much of my experience is in working with young children with emotional and behavioral challenges, often experiencing trauma or neglect, as well as adults.

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.

Ariel Hayat
Therapist, LMSW
Do you have feelings of anxiety, depression, instability, or codependency within your relationships? Do you want to find the right partner(s) or improve your current relationship but are not sure how? Are you tired of the dating game and choosing people who are unavailable? You want to be able to show up authentically for connection and chose others who can meet you there as well. The truth is you want to build relationships grounded in belonging, acceptance, growth, and healing, but are not sure where to start.
We will dive deep to understand the relationship patterns and attachment styles that unconsciously guide your interactions with family members, partners, workplace colleagues, and even yourself. Together we will develop practices for self-exploration, communication, and connection. You have the inherent capacity and self-knowledge to grow, heal and thrive. I work with clients experiencing relationship challenges with parents, dating, committed relationships, friends and within workplace settings, helping them to create intentional relationships where they feel safe, fulfilled and supported.
I am a trauma-trained therapist with additional training from the Ackerman Institute for the Family, the Gottman Institute, and the Internal Family Systems Institute.
I have a deep commitment to and passion for creating a safe space with individuals from all races, genders, sexualities, religions, abilities, and life paths. If you want to feel more connected, fulfilled and in alignment with yourself, feel free to email me for a free 20-minute phone consultation. Looking forward to hearing from you.
