Shannon Cruz-Herr

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

I believe effective therapy begins with a strong client-therapist relationship. Together we create a space of trust and connection, to explore what feels most pressing for you now, as well as old patterns that may be holding you back from greater happiness and ease.

Rachel Christensen

Sonia Feigelson

Master Social Worker, LMSW, MFA

I approach therapy as a collaboration: a steady, attuned place to examine the experiences that have molded how we see ourselves and others, to loosen limiting patterns and beliefs, and to strengthen the parts of you that create and sustain lasting change. I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I'm especially passionate about supporting people who have had to take on roles of responsibility earlier than they may have liked, and those navigating shame, guilt, rumination, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, feeling "stuck," or moments of terrible uncertainty, whether due to life transitions, questions of identity, or something else.

Samantha Vasquez

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C

I support individuals, families, and groups navigating a wide range of human experiences, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, women's issues, work-related stress, trauma, chronic illness, cancer diagnoses, survivorship, loss, and grief. In addition, I have a deep understanding of cultural and racial identity, immigration experiences, and the ongoing process of acculturation and integration honoring one’s own roots and values. I provide psychotherapy, supervision and consulting services. I am a bicultural and multilingual therapist welcoming individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NYS and hold an Oncology Social Work Certificate. I have extensive experience in healthcare settings—both inpatient and outpatient— in non-profit organizations and in private practice. My therapeutic approach is mindful, holistic, and strength-based. I tailor care that is effective and aligned with who you are.
I work with people across the lifespan — adults, young adults, adolescents, and children — with a warm, honest, and collaborative approach. I believe that therapy is a shared space where we commit to showing up as our authentic selves to accomplish progress. Together, we create a foundation of safety and trust, allowing for meaningful growth in the areas you choose to explore.
