I will collaborate with you to help you to live according to your values, and I will help you untangle the stuck places in your life. My work comes from a foundation of deep listening, creating space for you to share of yourself and explore your experience. On top of that, I layer practical tools and skills that promote psychological well-being. Finally, I may engage with you through experiential work in mindfulness to help create transformative experiences.

I have worked as a therapist in a wide range of settings for over a decade now, and during this time, the one thing that I have seen repeatedly is that the therapeutic process is wholly unique for each individual client, whether they be middle schoolers, college students, or senior adults. When it comes to my therapeutic approach, it is relational and person-centered. I have found that there is no “one-size-fits-all” template. I firmly believe that you, the client, are the expert on you, and my job is to facilitate your journey towards healing and trusting yourself.

I strive to create a trusting bond with each of my clients as we work collaboratively to address specific needs and explore optimal goals. I combine aspects from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and culturally sensitive perspectives to help my clients through challenges they are facing while better appreciating who they are. Together, my patients and I will explore the stories and struggles that have shaped them including early familial attachments, traumas, and multigenerational patterns that have had great impact on the present day.

My name is Lani Hartnett (she/her/hers), and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. The world can be an overwhelming place, especially when we feel alone. While I incorporate aspects of CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma focused CBT into my practice, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the single most important factor in therapy. In order to create positive change, you must feel comfortable to explore your experiences and your feelings. Our relationship will serve as an example of how to be your most authentic self, embrace vulnerability, and set healthy boundaries.

Your story is so much bigger than whatever brings you to therapy. I'm Dr. Kyler Shumway, and I joined the field of psychology because I know what it's like to lose momentum, to feel defeated, to be lost. I know what it's like to feel alone, like no one else can or wants to understand. I know what it's like to be tormented by the ghosts of your past. And - I know what it's like to move forward, overcome, and courageously confront the things that bring you suffering. I believe that you can do that, too.

Welcome! First, I would like to congratulate you on taking this step to reach out for support and practicing self-care. Life is ever changing and can sometimes not meet our expectations. This can lead to feelings of sadness, self-doubt, guilt, hopelessness, and we don't know what to do. Sometimes we can successfully process these changes in a healthy way and other times we may find ourselves depressed and anxious about the future. In these times it is important to reach out for support as we can become eclipsed by our emotions and not "see" a solution.

I approach therapy with a psychodynamic perspective. This means that I believe that we are all impacted and shaped by the stories we tell ourselves unconsciously- which in turn, informs our views about the world, our relationships, and ourselves. However, with increased awareness, this framework also states that we can change maladaptive stories we may have previously believed were set in stone. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to facilitate such change. Also, in order to adequately meet each individual's needs, I use an eclectic approach to treatment -drawing from supportive-expressive ideals as well as CBT, DBT, CTT, and CPT.

I often work with clients who struggle to accept and feel compassion for their whole self. Sometimes that can look like trying to shut out painful experiences, worrying that something is "wrong" with you, or struggling to connect with your true desires and feelings. I offer clients a warm space to process the injuries they carry from the broader world and from the intimate world of family, friends, and other relationships. I invite clients to bring the complete selves, even the parts that are hard to be with. I strive to provide the tools and support to help clients connect to a fuller sense of aliveness and groundedness.

Every day feels like a rollercoaster of worry, and you’re stuck in a cycle of seeking relief in distractions? You’ve poured everything into helping loved ones, only to hit a frustrating wall? Your mind is a battleground of conflicting thoughts, making decisions and changes seems not worth the fight? Tasks pile up, and the idea of starting to tackle them is overwhelming you? Wearing a mask, even with yourself, becomes a necessity to feel somewhat okay? Strong emotions trigger panic or self-harm, and the pain or numbness feels easier in the dark places? Things you used to love no longer bring joy, and even laughter feels empty?

What is your life trying to tell you? Whether you're struggling with a life transition, failed relationship, grief and loss, anxiety or depression, it's an opportunity for growth. Although growth can be difficult, it can also be extremely rewarding. I primarily work with individual adults dealing with relationship issues, life transitions, grief & loss, aging parents, personal & professional development, anxiety and depression. Working collaboratively with clients is important to me and for those looking to go deeper outside of session, I provide homework and reading resources.

Everyone has life challenges. The best version of yourself can emerge with effective strategies to cope with distress. I provide hope for individuals and couples who are dealing with complex issues such as grief, relationship struggles, economic pressures, depression, spiritual/religious trauma caused by abuse, and many other stressors. My approach is trauma-informed—I see how past hurts affect the present.

My practice combines elements of acceptance and commitment therapy, narrative therapy, ecotherapy, and stoic and existential philosophy, among others, and leans heavily into the dynamic and ever-emerging collaborative relationship between client and therapist, drawing on principles of interpersonal neurobiology and theories of attachment. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in meaning-making and the identification and practice of values: ways in which we can live more vitally, authentically, and in a manner that is in accordance with who we envision ourselves to be.

Embarking on a journey such as one that you have chosen can feel risky, even scary – and that’s okay! However, the important thing to remember is that you have taken the first step, which is something to be acknowledged and celebrated. Whether you are looking to help process a recent hardship you’ve experienced or you simply just want somebody to talk to, I look forward to the opportunity to provide you with whatever type of support you need in the moment to help promote growth and resiliency.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, Self Esteem problems, Domestic and Sexual Abuse, Schizophrenia, and other major mental health challenges. I work mostly with adults and am particularly passionate about working with Geriatric/Elderly populations and those in the LGBTQ communities. My primary types of therapy are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, and Strengths-Based, although I pull from many areas depending on my client’s needs.

My ideal client is one whom truly desires to heal. The work they see us putting into their therapy and healing as a team within session, is the same work they want and challenge themselves in implementing outside of the therapy setting. I work my best with adolescents, and love when parents have the ability to respect their child’s treatment boundaries but are involved enough to be receptive to their child’s needs. Ultimately however, it does not matter the client’s age or issue, as long as they are as committed to their growth as I am. That is ideal.

I help people struggling with anxiety, trauma, life transitions and stress to heal from the past and experience peace and fulfillment in the present. I enjoy working with folks who feel ready for a change and want to transform their problems at the root level. I have experience working with children, teens and adults from diverse backgrounds, and I enjoy working with LGBTQ+ folks, immigrants, parents, and creatives.
