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.

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.

Relational Psychotherapy
Gabe Lopez
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMSW
I believe that we all have a story. And if we all took the time to listen to one another's story, we'd all probably be in a much better place both mentally and emotionally. But that's what's great about therapy. My therapy space is a space for you to come in and tell your story. We will explore your relationships, past experiences, present challenges, and so much more. I operate from a relational approach, meaning that I believe you and I are collaborating on creating the therapeutic space that is unique to you and I. We can use the relationship you and I are building to help give you greater insight into what may not be working in your life currently, and we can identify how to make lasting change with this new level of awareness.
