Letizia Adorno, LCSW
The most important part of psychotherapy is finding a provider who you understands you and works with you on your goals towards feeling better. We all have the ability to heal from traumas, interpersonal injuries, and emotional problems. Therapy can enhance this inner ability and bring new ways to cope with life’s challenges when the old ways of doing so might no longer serve us. Therapy can help us see ourselves and how we relate to the past from a new perspective.
Since 1998, I have had the privilege to collaborate with individuals seeking to gain a better understanding of their problems and develop new strategies for healing. I enjoy collaborating with people from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds. This has partially been informed from my identifying as a woman of color and a child of immigrants/migrants. I enjoy working with people with a wide range of trauma histories that include: vicarious traumatization, interpersonal trauma, narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, physical/ emotional/ sexual/ psychological abuse, assault, religious trauma, ritual abuse, bullying, discrimination and “othering.” I also enjoy working with various types of healthcare providers as a psychotherapist in addition to providing clinical supervision to other psychotherapists. I also enjoy working with people who often refer to themselves as “empaths” and who have avoided disclosing this in healthcare settings for fear of being misunderstood, erroneously diagnosed or judged. I work with people with a range of spiritual and religious traditions, including those who identify as atheists.

Hank Blumfarb, LCSW
I have been in clinical practice since 1979 and have both taught and published in the field as well as having appeared on radio and television. I have a solid foundation in the various psychoanalytic-depth psychologies and psycho-neuro-biological perspectives. I have been integrating Buddhist and Yoga psychologies and practices over the last fifteen years. One of the outcomes of my personal and professional journey is the development of my center: SELF-CARE MATTERS: Creating Space for Possibilities. My aim is to assist individuals to recognize and appreciate the extraordinary in the ordinary in meeting the challenges in their daily lives. The journey involves developing and maintaining the capacity to continually improve one’s functioning in the various self-care domains (body, mind & spirit).
