Amanda Cusa
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LSW
Verified
My specialties include working with adolescents and adult that are experiencing one of the following: life transitions that are difficult to cope with,
trauma
, chronic illness/pain, anxiety, depression, existential and stage-of-life issues, and stress that has been difficult to manage on your own.
I believe strongly that we all have the capacity for positive change, no matter where we start out. Therapy should provide a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space in which clients can explore new goals, solutions, and ways of being. I seek to empower clients by fostering greater awareness and understanding of their thoughts, behaviors, environments, and interpersonal patterns. My approach is tailored to each person and their needs, but often incorporates concepts from Cognitive-Behavioral, Interpersonal, and Person-Centered therapies, as well as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction techniques.

I offer a variety of counseling formats to fit your needs including individual sessions, extended couples sessions and
trauma
focused therapy.
Your relationship is falling apart. You and your partner seem like strangers and are no longer on the same page. You feel trapped, alone, empty and at the end of your rope. There’s barely any intimacy or affection, you’re constantly arguing, making you feel overwhelmed, like you can’t get anything right. It’s frustrating and nothing ever gets resolved. You don’t know how you got here. You’re constantly on edge, feeling depressed, anxious and burnt out. Perhaps you’ve just found out they’ve been cheating or maybe you’ve been separated for a while and you’re scared and unsure. Your marriage is in trouble and you need help now!

Depending on the client's specific needs, I use a variety of treatment modalities including: cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy,
trauma
/grief focused therapy and mindfulness - all customizable to the individual client's needs and desired outcomes.
Many of us struggle with everyday stressors. Whether stemming from family dynamics, work difficulties, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, low self esteem, identity confusion or a combination of contributors, these stressors can have a profound effect on our quality of life. Finding change and accepting support is a journey that takes time, compassion and patience. I offer psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families with a strengths-based approach, aimed at making clients feel engaged and vested in their treatment process. Through self reflection and collaborative efforts, I work with clients to balance these life stressors and make them more manageable.
Trinh Nguyen
Counselor, MA, LAC

I enjoy working with clients of all ages and diversity navigating challenges with life transitions, depression, anxiety, addiction, interpersonal relations, grief & loss,
trauma
, cultural issues.
As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” I believe that every individual has within themselves the tools they need to take actions towards creating the changes that will align with their values and purpose. Being a bicultural individual, I am able to see things from two different perspectives, which helps me remain open and adaptable to various personal values and ways of life. I pride myself on my ability to create a space where you would feel comfortable and understood to express your concerns and emotions freely.

I help adult gay men live without fear, pain, confusion, and self-destructive behaviors. Their symptoms of depression, anxiety,
trauma
, shame, and self-loathing get in the way of the life they want to live. They worry I will judge them for how they are living their lives.

trauma

Nancy Schongalla-Bowman
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, LMFT
Verified
I/we pay attention to "inner voices" and the body, while addressing relationships, resolving
trauma
, and learning resilience skills.
It is easy to feel overwhelmed and lose one's sense of True North. Issues and experiences from the past may require healing and integration. Current challenges may require more inner wisdom and resourcefulness than we can access on our own. Many people need support to resolve conflicts, deepen connections and expand their lives. Relationships require a solid sense of self, good boundaries, and compassion toward oneself and others, which all can be learned. Even without a religious affiliation, spiritual practices such as gratitude are often enriching. I value new insights, suggest homework and teach practical skills.

I have had the pleasure of working with a varied clientele. For many years I have built rapport with and facilitated the progress of youth who are on the spectrum, who have attention disorders, who struggled with emotion regulation, who are mute, who are transgender, and have exhibited self-harming behaviors. I have also worked with families as a parent coach and as a provider of psycho-education. Many of my adult clients have had issues with abandonment, attachment,
trauma
, and self-harm. The goals I have facilitated my clients progression in are myriad. However, one goal most of my clients aspire to attain is self-love.

Specialties: relationships, sexuality,
trauma
, grief/loss, anxiety, separation/divorce, stress and embracing the constant changes life brings.
I want you to have the best life imaginable: to live in a body that can feel what it feels and with a mind that can know what it knows. I believe we heal through connection and relationship ; it is how we survive then thrive. Sometimes we need to make meaning of our experiences; sometimes we just want to manage or reduce unwanted symptoms and sometimes we need someone to simple be present- to sit and witness and listen or hold the silence. I hope you will find all these elements working with me and together we will walk the path to healing. Come in and let's explore together!

Traumatic experiences can take a heavy toll, and not just in the moment. Symptoms of
post-traumatic stress
disorder (
PTSD
) or complex
PTSD
(CPTSD) can last for weeks, months, even years after the event. I am passionate about helping adolescents and adults heal from the effects of
trauma
so that you can reclaim your vitality, and establish a genuine sense of connection with yourself, others, your body and your soul. While my therapeutic approach is eclectic, Somatic Experiencing (SE) is foundational to my work. SE is a body-oriented and naturalistic approach to the resolution and healing of
trauma
, developed by Dr. Peter Levine.
