Our team

Elisa Hasrouni, LCSW, Founder & Clinical Director

I founded this practice to continue my passion for mental health as well as expanding the space to work alongside other talented therapists. After graduating with a MSW from USC, I continued my training in both Southern California and New York City. I have worked in various mental health settings and have been in private practice for over 8 years. I am particularly well versed in adults dealing with depression and anxiety from an array of backgrounds, ethnicities, and sexual orientations. I am a compassionate, empathetic, analytical, and knowledgeable therapist. I look forward to working with you!

Sabrina Gerardo, ACSW, Senior Psychotherapist & Supervisor

My therapeutic approach is guided by the philosophy that healing happens through connection. I strive to facilitate a process of healing that is client-led and welcomes all emotions. As your therapist, I believe in the power of being a compassionate witness and supporting individuals to access the power of their story. Taking the initiative to reach out for help can be difficult. My role is to guide you and facilitate a process that feels safe for you to begin to explore your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.


I have experience working with a range of diagnoses and topics including depression, anxiety, substance use, PTSD, pregnancy/postpartum, grief, identity formation, family/relational issues, and systemic oppression. My therapeutic approach is guided by psychodynamic, attachment-based, and trauma-informed theory. Additionally, I incorporate components of CBT, DBT, MI, and harm reduction.


It is a privilege to hold space for your story and experiences. I believe in starting where you are and collaboratively tailor sessions in a way that best supports you. I welcome you with empathy, support, and genuineness. 

Ashna Kapoor, Psychotherapist & Team Mentor

Do you feel like you have little control over your thoughts? Do you have difficulty sharing and making sense of your feelings? 

These issues may be the result of limited self-awareness, and/or challenges managing and regulating your emotions. These challenges can sometimes lead to difficulty managing conflict in your relationships with others whether at home, work, or socially.


As a first-generation Indian female, I have a unique perspective on culture and family dynamics. I understand the importance of cultural/social elements in one’s development and perception. Through these experiences, I have learned that therapy is not a “one-size-fits-all” modality but instead requires consideration of each person’s unique background and culture. 


I encourage space for honesty, expression, and authenticity while working with you to find what is most effective for YOU as an individual. 


I am particularly interested in helping those struggling with anxiety, ADHD, body dysmorphia, depression, and attachment issues. In addition, I serve people dealing with cultural trauma.

Imani Coleman, Psychotherapist

My goal is to create a safe, empathetic, and collaborative space where clients feel supported in exploring their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. My therapeutic approach is rooted in a person-centered philosophy, emphasizing the importance of meeting each individual where they are and tailoring care to their unique experiences and needs.


I integrate evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while maintaining a focus on the client’s strengths and potential for growth. Valuing the power of connection and authenticity in the healing process, I foster a nonjudgmental environment where clients feel empowered to share their stories and work toward their goals. 


With experience supporting clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relational issues, and stress management, I take a holistic, integrative approach that combines structured techniques with genuine compassion to help clients navigate life’s complexities and build resilience. I look forward to walking alongside you as you take steps toward healing and self-discovery.

Samantha Van Siclen, Psychotherapist

I understand that the role of a therapist is crucial in one's life and I am passionate about helping you reach your goals. Currently, I am receiving my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling at Columbia University. Using empathy and authenticity, I foster a nonjudgmental therapeutic environment, empowering clients to be open and vulnerable, while working towards facing their challenges and reaching their goals. My holistic therapeutic approach combines multiple modalities, helping clients understand their emotions and behaviors. 


I strongly acknowledge that the needs and life experiences of each client are individual, each client has their own therapeutic journey. Clients can expect a collaborative relationship and a supportive environment to feel heard and understood. I am passionate about guiding clients through their healing journey and growing into their best version. 

Ava Munschauer, Associate Psychotherapist

My goal as a counselor is to help others achieve their own personal goals through a safe and empathetic therapeutic space. I understand that every individual is unique and it it important for me to meet the client wherever they are in their journey. Whether it is alleviating anxiety, developing coping skills, building resilience, promoting personal health, or creating a greater sense of awareness and self-compassion, I will support our clients and promote their wellbeing first and foremost. By creating a safe and welcoming space, I hope to form a collaborative relationship with our clients where we can work together to reach their own personal destinations.

In my time as a graduate student in the Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness program at New York University, I have gained knowledge in multiple modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and a trauma informed approach. I am committed to empowering clients and providing a nonjudgmental space where individuals can be free to explore and find their paths forward. 

Kaylee Allred, Associate Psychotherapist

I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel seen, heard, and accepted. I am passionate about creating a nonjudgmental and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely. I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and respect for each

person’s lived experiences. Currently, I am receiving my Master’s degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness at New York University. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing from a

variety of evidence-based modalities to meet your unique needs. I recognize that there’s no one-size-fits-all method to therapy, and I aim to adapt our work together based on what feels most helpful to you. Whether you're navigating life transitions, managing stress, or working through deeper challenges, I’m here to support you with care and compassion.
