Patricia Valencia
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I work with adults who want to change their lives and get to the root of what makes them think, feel, and react in ways that keep them stuck. They desire to lessen stress, reduce anxiety, and improve their relationships. We work together to understand and minimize their negative responses to triggers. We explore the events, thoughts, and feelings that led to painful relationships and low self-esteem. We work together to develop realistic individualized strategies to minimize unhealthy patterns that prevent joy and peace in their lives. We collaborate to implement realistic changes that improve their quality of life.

Jack Hazan Modern Therapy Group
Licensed Professional Counselor
As an Anxiety specialist, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals who grapple with challenges in Relationships, Intimacy, and Avoidant Behaviors stemming from various sources such as Adult Childhood Trauma, Codependency, Addiction (inclusive of excessive behaviors related to Sex, Porn, and Apps), as well as those contending with impulsive behaviors, including ADHD. My passion lies in using a trauma-based model to guide individuals towards overcoming obstacles and fostering a profound sense of fulfillment within themselves and their relationships.
My therapeutic approach is characterized by a direct and solution-focused style, setting it apart from conventional and outdated talk therapy. In each session, I actively engage with clients, employing contemporary and progressive therapeutic techniques such as Internal Family Systems, LGBTQ+, CBT, DBT, Sex Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, all of which have demonstrated effectiveness in achieving positive outcomes.
I am dedicated to collaboratively creating a personalized plan that equips clients with coping skills and tools tailored to their unique needs. Together, we navigate the journey toward building deeper, more meaningful connections while effectively managing anxiety. I am committed to ensuring that each therapy session is impactful, providing a secure space to address life's challenges and facilitating the integration of various dimensions of personal identity. My goal is to offer insight that empowers individuals to lead a more authentic and fulfilled life.

Emily S. Rosen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Psychotherapy (or counseling) is talking with a trained professional about your fears, concerns, behaviors, desires and dreams. My goal is to help you better understand yourself. You may seek treatment with me because you have been given a specific mental health diagnosis. Or you may seek treatment because you would like help dealing with a specific challenge such as job dissatisfaction or difficulty finding a partner.
During a psychotherapy session, you will learn more about your behaviors, your thoughts and your feelings. Psychotherapy allows you to understand and take control of your life through new knowledge and coping skills.

Nikita Fernandes
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CST
For oppressed people to intentionally cultivate pleasure is an act of resistance - Ingrid LaFleur. As a Psychotherapist and Certified Sex Therapist, I specialize in providing culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, poly & kink-friendly, and queer-affirming therapy. My journey as a queer, non-monogamous South Asian neurodivergent woman, along with the experiences of those close to me, deeply shape my approach. I draw on my first-hand knowledge of navigating kink/sex-positive environments. It's important to me to approach therapy with a sense of curiosity and openness so that I can better understand and support my clients.
I view each individual within the context of their environment, recognizing the complex intersections of their various identities. I rely on evidenced-based methods that consider the impact of trauma and are attuned to diverse cultural perspectives. I am now also offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy as a new therapeutic option in my practice.
Building an authentic relationship with my clients is my highest priority. Jiddu Krishnamurti said that it is no measure of health to be adjusted to a society that is profoundly sick and I do not see therapy as a way to numb the pain that is caused by systemic oppression but rather a way to empower clients to have compassion for themselves.

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.
