I am a trauma-informed provider who specializes in supporting individuals and couples navigating conflict, depression, anxiety, infertility, chronic illness, grief/loss, trauma and transition. One of the bravest things we can do is begin to understand our own stories. Clients I support often grapple with the impact of narratives about who they were, are, or "should be", leaving them questioning, "Do I matter?" or shedding pieces of their identity to generate a sense of belonging. Together, we can explore societal and relational influences on your story, while identifying your values, strengths, options for healing and growth. I believe every client holds expertise in their own experiences and deserves the right to make decisions honoring personal journeys and values. My approach incorporates relational-cultural, feminist, and interpersonal lenses. I utilize the Gottman Method, CBT, DBT, IFS, and MSC strategies, also drawing from 12+ years of experience as a parent and educator. Everyone deserves to experience validation, compassion, and belonging. I am committed to facilitating a space in which you feel understood, valued, and supported as we prioritize your goals, explore your story, and incorporate strategies for reintegrating pieces of your Self so you also can experience increased personal acceptance and relational connection.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, Gershom Lazarus draws from a background in physiology, neuropsychology, and clinical psychology to provide an integrated approach to assessment and treatment. He currently practices as a partner of IPD, an institute established over 40 years with offices in Georgia and Florida. Dr. Lazarus initially came to the United States as an international student and can relate to some of the seemingly unrelenting challenges facing students currently. The primary approach to providing care is rooted in developing an understanding of contributing factors at the physiological, neurological/neuropsychological, and psychological levels within the context of an individual’s behavioral and societal functioning. Each session aims to focus on understanding and psycho-education regarding the presenting issues, exercises for between sessions designed to practice strategies developed in-session, and ultimately “real-world” applications targeting areas of concern. While the initial focus tends to be managing the main areas of concern, the importance of growth and meaning are gradually introduced.

I currently have availability Wednesdays ( virtual only 10am-2pm or 4pm-7pm), Thursdays and Fridays 10am-2pm in person or virtually, and weekends 12pm-4pm in person or virtually. My mission is to help clients that struggle with boundaries in their relationships, people pleasing, and feeling inadequate. I can help with the repeating negative thoughts that leave you feeling trapped. I can help you to also build an identity outside of a life lived with chronic illness. Do you have thoughts related to being broken or a failure? I understand that intense feelings of sadness, shame, anger or guilt feels heavy. Pain on your heart can leave you feeling hopeless, exhausted, worthless, anxious and frustrated. I know you want a way out of pain. I utilize CBT, DBT, IFS and EMDR. Skills can be important in navigating hardships. I have training in CBT, DBT and EMDR. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I have a passion for utilizing skills to help clients manage/reduce symptoms of depression/anxiety. I believe in showing up as authentically as possible with my whole vivacious personality to build warm connections. I am tough and gentle. I accept you as you are and I push for change to bring you closer to your goal.

I provide inclusive, affirming therapy for individuals navigating identity, trauma, relationships, and life transitions. My practice centers neurodivergent, grievers, LGBTQ+ folks, people of color, and anyone who’s ever felt like the “only” in the room. I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up fully as yourself - messy, brilliant, questioning, and human. Using a relational, trauma-informed approach, I work collaboratively to help you explore your experiences, reconnect with your values, and build a life that feels meaningful and grounded. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, or just trying to figure out who you are, you're not alone - and you don't have to do it alone.
