Compassion Focus Therapy
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.

North Star Wellness
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Asking for help is often seen as a sign of vulnerability, and in turn, it shows tremendous bravery and intelligence. It takes courage to admit that you need support and you are willing to bravely seek it out. This act reflects a deep understanding of oneself, ultimately it is a testament to your resilience and determination to overcome challenges, rather than struggling in silence.

Jessica Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Therapy is such a powerful, deep journey. And it goes beyond words. Talk therapy is important for processing and reflection, yes, but for lasting change we need to bring in the wisdom of the body and the right brain, the emotional brain. We can experiment with guided visualization, inner child work, movement, body talk, and creative expression to tap into those parts of you. Let's explore what you need together. Your relationships, your work, your creativity, your sense of purpose and meaning will all benefit. It starts with you and your willingness to heal.

Compassion Focus Therapy
Shauna Rychcik
Therapist, LMSW
As a therapist I deeply respect each client’s unique strengths and perspectives. Using a collaborative approach, I walk alongside clients as they heal from painful experiences, empowering them to write the next chapter of their life. Even in life’s most challenging moments, every individual has the capacity to heal and grow. I strive to create a space for this healing that is comfortable and safe where you feel free to express yourself fully and authentically.
Rooted in an LGBTQIA+ affirming and anti-racist framework, my approach blends evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy with a holistic understanding of each person's circumstances. Sessions are tailored to meet individual needs while celebrating and building on your strengths. My goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and supported as you work toward creating a life filled with meaning and fulfillment.
With warmth, empathy, and a sprinkle of humor (because let's face it, laughter is the best medicine after all), I aim to connect authentically with clients and trust in their power to reclaim their stories. Together, we can regain control over the narrative and begin a new chapter—a chapter of healing, growth, and empowerment.

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.
