About Us
Our Approach
CCC adheres to the belief that there is always room for growth in our lives. We practice from an insight-oriented, collaborative, and individualized approach to meet the unique needs of each person we work with.
We strongly believe that the fit between therapist and patient are essential to a successful treatment. We work with our patients to co-create an empathic and accepting space where they can feel safe while also feeling challenged to work towards change. We strive to understand the challenges our patients are experiencing and aim to empower them to access and utilize their own unique strengths and voices in order to create change. Together, we work to explore past and present concerns, striving to gain more awareness of the influence of past experiences in order to create a more meaningful and fulfilling present.

Lauren Scheuermann, M.A., LPC
Staff Therapist
As a therapist I bring an empathetic, authentic, and collaborative approach to therapy. I strive to create a safe and empowering space where you’ll feel supported to challenge and untangle thoughts, experiences, and behaviors that are no longer helpful.

Welcome! I provide individual, couples, and group therapy at CCC. I use a relational-cultural approach to therapy where we will explore relationship patterns and societal messages that can result in shame, self-blame, and disconnection.
Director of Clinical Training
Clinical Psychologist
Hannah Payne, MA, LPC
Hello and welcome! I provide individual, couples, and group therapy with a multicultural, client-centered, and psychodynamic approach. I am passionate about helping my clients find strength after experiencing adversity, learn more about themselves and accept who they are, and meet their goals for personal growth.
Staff Therapist
Dr. Kurt Stevens
My therapeutic style is warm, relational, psychodynamic (processing past personal and relational experiences and exploring their potential connection to current personal and interpersonal functioning), and collaborative.

Staff Therapist
Dr. Constance Victor
Hello and welcome! It takes a lot of courage to begin therapy and I hope to encourage and foster this courage in our work together. I view therapy as a collaborative process. I integrate and draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches.
Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr. Irina Rivera
Welcome! I work from a relational paradigm because I believe therapy is a co-created, collaborative process. I bring to therapy my previous experiences working in creative environments, to help clients foster new perspectives and solutions that fit your unique issues, identities, and personality.
Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr. Nabila Irizarry
Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I follow a culturally-responsive approach to therapy, acknowledging intersectionality and promoting fairness, equity, and justice. I incorporate constructivist, dialectical, and psychodynamic perspectives, which means we will work together to understand both personal and societal factors that contribute to your everyday well-being.
Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr. Rayna Narvaez
I believe we move through the world with unique identities and backgrounds, and I strive to honor the complexity that we each bring to the human experience. I primarily use a relational and interpersonal approach to therapy, which means I believe relationships have an important influence on our development as individuals.
