‍

Most of my work as a therapist is with people moving through some kind of change: someone stepping into recovery from addiction, sitting with grief, sorting out a relationship, or standing at one of those in-between moments in life where the old map no longer fits. I see adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I meet with individuals as well as couples who want to rebuild connection.

My approach is relational and experiential, which is a way of saying I care less about categorizing you and more about understanding your story and what you're actually reaching for. I draw on mindfulness, breathwork, Gestalt and Rogerian therapy, and creative arts, and which of those show up in a given session depends on you. Early on, I'm mostly working to earn your trust and get a clear picture of what matters to you. Sessions tend to be curious rather than clinical; I'll ask questions, we'll slow down and reflect together, and sometimes we'll use a creative technique to reach something words alone can't. I offer gender-affirming, trauma-informed care that honors who you are and makes room for you to express yourself honestly.

I believe connection itself is part of how healing happens, so I stay collaborative and let the pace follow you rather than a formula. If this sounds like the kind of work you've been wanting to do, I'd be happy to talk.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker specializing in depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and grief, with about 15 years of experience across outpatient and inpatient settings, and in a psychiatric emergency department at one of New York City's top hospitals. That range has taught me a lot about meeting people during the ordinary hard stretches and the acute ones, and about not rushing either.

A lot of the adults I see are moving through a change they didn't necessarily choose, or sitting with a loss that hasn't settled yet. Open communication matters to me, so I'll ask real questions and tell you honestly what I'm noticing. My style tends to be warm and grounding; the point is for you to feel understood and steady while we sort through what's actually going on.

Early on, I spend real time getting to know your history, your concerns, and what you want to be different. From there we set clear, attainable goals together, and I build a plan that follows your priorities rather than a script. Expect practical strategies and steady support, not vague reassurance.

I trained at NYU as an undergraduate and earned my master's at SUNY Albany, and I've spent years supervising other clinicians as well as seeing patients.

If any of this resonates, the first step is simply a conversation, and we'll shape the rest of the work from there together.

I'm a therapist who has spent years treating adults navigating anxiety, depression, phobias, communication struggles, and the kind of relationship concerns that wear on you over time. Alongside my counseling license, I hold certifications in clinical anxiety treatment and anger management, and much of that focus grew out of early work facilitating a Women's Recovery Group during my internship at a substance recovery facility.

My style is warm, direct, and down-to-earth, and I'm not afraid to use a little humor to take the edge off a hard conversation. I want to understand the whole person sitting across from me, not just a set of symptoms, so early sessions are about gathering your background, talking through what's actually bothering you, and setting goals that mean something to you. I'll use clear assessments to track where we are and where we're headed, and I balance genuine support with gentle challenge when it's useful. From there we build a flexible plan that can shift as you do, sometimes with small between-session activities if you want to keep building skills on your own time.

What I care about most is that you can be yourself with me, without editing or performing. Change tends to stick when it happens at a comfortable pace rather than a forced one.

There's no timeline you have to meet here. When you feel ready to start, reach out and we'll take it from there.

I've spent years as a therapist treating adults through the kind of stress, health concerns, trauma, and life transitions that quietly reshape how a person gets through an ordinary day. Before I moved into therapy in 2016, I worked in case management and medical social work, sitting with individuals and families as they navigated complicated life and health challenges. That background still shapes how I listen: I pay attention to real life, not just a diagnosis on a chart. I see many adults, including older adults, who are managing more than one thing at once and want practical support rather than abstractions.

I start by learning your story, your strengths, and what you're actually hoping to change. Early on, my focus is helping you feel grounded and genuinely heard, because not much useful happens before that. From there we build a plan together, drawing on trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. As a certified yoga teacher trained in trauma-informed practice, I keep a mind and body perspective in view, and I check in often to make sure the work still fits your goals. My style is practical, compassionate, and approachable, and I set the pace to match you. I offer sessions in English and Spanish.

Reach out when you're ready to start this work together.

I'm a therapist, and most of what I see is people working through anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, addiction, and the strain that shows up in relationships. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults, and I also see couples and families. A lot of my focus lands on women's mental health, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, questions of identity, and recovery, whether that means finding your footing again or figuring out who you are while everyone else has opinions about it.

My approach is culturally responsive and advocacy-minded, and I don't pretend to be a blank wall. I've worked across schools, higher education, private practice, and rehabilitation settings, which taught me that no two people arrive needing the same thing. Early on, expect me to ask questions and actually listen to the answers, then help you get specific about what you want to change. From there we clarify goals and build practical tools together, drawing on cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based approaches, at a pace that feels supportive rather than rushed. I want you to leave feeling heard and respected, not managed.

Reaching out for the first time takes something, and if you've read this far, you've already done part of the hard part. When you're ready to talk, I'll be here to help you take the next step.

I'm a therapist with experience treating anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and the emotional upheaval that comes with big life transitions. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, much of my focus is on helping people who feel stuck in their reactions, worn down by past experiences, or unsure of who they are in the middle of a season of change.

I think healing and growth belong together, so I pay attention to more than symptoms. Identity, purpose, and personal values matter in this work, and for those who want it, faith has a place in our conversations too. I start with a thorough first session to really understand your history, what's weighing on you now, and what you're hoping to move toward. From there, we build a plan that fits your goals, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and emotion-focused strategies. I'll also send you off with practical tools to use between our sessions, because a lot of the real work happens in your day-to-day life.

My aim is for you to feel more grounded and more in charge of your own direction, not managed. I value honesty, and I'll be honest with you in return.

If you're tired of carrying old wounds or navigating a change that's left you off balance, let's talk about what steadier ground could look like for you.

I'm a licensed counselor who focuses on helping adolescents and adults work through depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and the patterns that come with co-dependency and addictive behaviors. I'm licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and New York, and as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia, so I've had the chance to sit with a wide range of people at very different points in their lives.

What matters most to me is genuineness. I won't pretend to have all the answers or dress things up, and I'd rather be honest with you than tell you what's easy to hear. A lot of the people I see have been carrying something painful for a long time, sometimes the effects of sexual abuse or a loss they've never fully spoken about, and they need to feel understood and respected before any real work can happen. In a session, that usually looks like slowing down, letting you say things at your own pace, and staying open-minded about wherever the conversation goes. From there we work together to make sense of your experiences, build some insight into them, and put practical coping strategies in place.

My hope is that healing, growth, and a little more resilience come out of that process, though I never promise a timeline. If you've been quietly holding onto something and want someone in your corner while you sort through it, reach out and let's talk.

My work as a therapist centers on adults and older adults living with depression, anxiety, and the kind of stress that builds up when life gets heavy. Over more than twenty years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, much of it in medical social work and hospice care, I've sat with people facing serious health concerns, the loss of someone they love, and the quiet exhaustion of caring for a family member who can no longer care for themselves. Those experiences shape how I listen. Grief, illness, and caregiving aren't problems to be fixed; they're circumstances to be understood.

I'd describe my approach as warm and steady, without judgment about whatever you bring in. Early on, I want to understand the full picture: what's troubling you now, your history, the people and supports around you, and what actually matters to you. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused work, but I adjust to how you think and what you're comfortable with rather than running everyone through the same method. The goals we set are yours, built around your strengths and priorities so the progress we make can hold up over time.

A first visit is mostly about getting to know each other and easing into a rhythm that feels comfortable, so we're not rushing anywhere before you're ready.

Curious whether this feels like the right fit? That's exactly what a first conversation is for.

I'm a therapist who has spent years in outpatient clinics and private practice in Rockland County, working with people across a wide range of ages and concerns, from teenagers to adults. Much of what I see is anxiety, depression, the aftermath of difficult experiences, family strain, low self-esteem, and the ordinary daily stress that quietly wears people down over time.

I tend to be soft-spoken, and I lean into a gentle presence rather than a forceful one. My approach is eclectic, though I most often draw on cognitive behavioral therapy to help ease symptoms and build practical coping skills. What that looks like in practice is a first session spent listening closely and getting a real sense of what's brought you in, so we can shape the work around your specific needs rather than a fixed formula. I'll adjust the pace to you, and I want you to feel genuinely heard and supported in the room, not managed.

My hope is always the same: that the people I work with leave with steadier footing, a bit more well-being, and movement toward the personal goals that matter to them.

Reaching out for help takes something, and if you've read this far, you've already done part of the harder work. When you're ready, I'll be here to start the conversation with you.

I'm a therapist who has spent years counseling adults and older adults across outpatient clinics, non-profit community agencies, and school settings. Alongside that clinical work, I've taught undergraduate and graduate courses at three colleges, which has kept me curious about how people learn, change, and make sense of what they're going through.

The way I counsel is a partnership. I take the time to fully understand your situation before we decide anything, because a plan built in a hurry rarely fits the person it's meant for. That means our early conversations lean toward listening: I want to understand your history, what's bringing you in, and what you're hoping will be different. I also pay close attention to your strengths and the resources already in your life, because those tend to be what real progress is built on.

From there, we develop a treatment plan aligned with your goals, so the path forward feels clear and structured rather than open-ended. I care about building a genuine working relationship, and I think that relationship is where most of the meaningful work happens. My pace is deliberate; I'd rather understand you well than rush to conclusions.

There's no rush to begin, either. When the timing feels right for you, I'll be here to start.

I'm a therapist, and most of what I see is adults and older adults working through the kind of thoughts and behaviors that quietly get in the way of the life they want. My background spans outpatient, inpatient, and community-based care, and that range has shaped how I meet people at whatever stage of care they're in. I earned my master's degree at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and I've spent my career supporting people through moments that can feel stuck.

I value communication that's open, honest, and direct, because I think that's what makes it possible to set treatment goals that actually fit the person in front of me rather than a generic version of them. Our first session is where I get a thorough sense of your history, your concerns, and what you're hoping for, and from there we build a plan around your priorities. I'll ask you to notice how your thoughts and behaviors between sessions shape your progress, because a lot of the real work happens in the days we're not talking. I want the room to feel warm and steady enough that you can look at hard things honestly, and I'll be a collaborator in that, not a bystander.

There's no rush on any of this. When the time feels right for you to begin, I'll be here.

I'm a therapist, and over the past five years I've worked with adults and young adults across outpatient, intensive outpatient, crisis, and community settings. That range has taught me that most people arrive carrying a mix of things at once: old emotional patterns, strained relationships, and whatever stress is pressing on them right now. Family dynamics come up often, and years of family systems work have shaped how I listen for the ways those relationships shape the rest of a person's life.

I value open, honest, and collaborative communication, and I'd rather we be direct with each other than polite and vague. Early on, I spend real time understanding your history and what's actually going on, the emotional patterns and the current stressors, before we decide together what matters most to focus on. From there I build an individualized plan, drawing on CBT, DBT, and EMDR-informed and trauma-informed approaches, and I adjust it as you change and your needs shift. My aim is practical: better emotional regulation, more self-awareness, and tools that hold up long after our work together.

A session with me tends to be steady and grounded. I ask questions, I check my read of things against yours, and we keep the goals clear and meaningful rather than abstract.

There's no rush to have it all figured out before we start. Whenever you feel ready to begin, I'll be here.

I'm a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping adults, including older adults, work through the barriers that get in the way of both daily life and the longer-term goals they're reaching for. My background spans outpatient, inpatient, and private practice work, including substance use and mental health care in both a Winston-Salem nonprofit and a rural New York clinic, along with inpatient rehabilitation. My training runs through ADHD, maternal and perinatal mental health, and trauma-informed care, and I hold certification in TF-CBT. My interest in the connection between diet and mental health actually started back in my nutritional sciences studies, and it still shapes how I think about the whole person.

I lean toward an existential and humanistic approach, drawing on CBT and DBT depending on what fits the person in front of me. I don't think there's a one-size-fits-all method, so I build strategies around your specific experiences rather than leaning on a single technique. Sessions stay focused and thoughtful, though I'll bring in a little humor when it fits; people tend to say it reflects how I actually am. I check in regularly about whether the tools we're using are working, because I'd rather adjust than assume. My aim is for you to leave with enough insight to understand yourself better than when we started.

The first step is really just a conversation, and we sort out the direction together from there.

I have provided individual and group psychotherapy, and have served in supervisory/administrative roles throughout my career.

I subscribe to a humanistic, motivational enhancement, and cognitive behavioral framework. Understanding the benefit of therapeutic rapport, I foster an environment of self-acceptance and self-awareness while promoting intrinsic motivation for patients to act as their own catalyst of change. I have a passion for working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, the LGBTQIA+ community, women with reproductive challenges, and victims of domestic violence.

I earned my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Eastern Kentucky University in 2015 and have worked with patients in a clinical capacity for the past six years. While in graduate school, I was exposed to various clinical and research experiences, where I found my passion in examining the motivational factors of human behavior. My academic work strengthened my interest in working with individuals in a therapeutic capacity, which ultimately led to advanced experiential training in crisis interventions and the treatment of individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. Before relocating to New York City, I worked with individuals in under-served communities in the Appalachian region.

My goal is to guide individuals towards cultivating their own sense of independence, ability to utilize healthy coping strategies, and regain control over their lives. I work with children, adolescents, teenagers, adults, couples, and families as they begin their journey through processing adjustment changes, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, trauma, among other symptoms. Through the therapeutically proven interventions from CBT, DBT, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness, we can begin to explore triggers, symptoms, and challenges in a safe, respectful environment.

After receiving my bachelor's in psychology from SUNY New Paltz in 2013, I worked as a medical assistant with individuals with developmental disabilities. From there, I recognized the need to promote mental health and a balanced way of living. I completed my master's in clinical Mental Health Counseling through Walden University in 2021.

I use a person-centered approach when working with clients, coupled with an empathic and non-judgmental attitude. I strive to meet clients where they are at, and I have a passion for helping others reach their full potential, rebuild their confidence, and gain a better insight into themselves through psychodynamic and CBT interventions. I promote and encourage "progress over perfection."

I am a graduate of the City University of New York (CUNY) Brooklyn College, where I received my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 7 years of experience working with adults who struggle with an array of different issues, in both outpatient and private practice settings.

My central approach to therapy is eclectic and based on the needs of each client. I frequently use person-centered, strength-based, and collaborative therapy. I also enjoy using CBT, ACT, and DBT, which draw upon the whole person and their intrinsic qualities and talents to forge a thriving way of life. Essentially, I like to empower clients to find their passion and set their goals not only to survive but also to thrive in life. I enjoy helping people on their journey and see the rewards of clients winning themselves back. My work as a therapist comes from the heart and holistic space, and being there for my clients truthfully and inspiring them to become the expert of their lives.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York City and have been practicing since 2017. I have worked directly with clients of various demographics, such as people with disabilities and neurodivergent people living with a variety of mental health conditions, for 6 years. I graduated with a Master of Science in Education, Mental Health Counseling at Hunter College of The City University of New York. During my studies, I attended an internship at Boston Road Medical Center, Psychiatry Department in Bronx, New York.

I have over twenty years of experience working with individuals, families, and groups addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I started my career as a clinician in a Crime Victims' Assistance Program funded by New York State, through which I began to explore the effects of trauma on individuals, their families, and the community. I have been trained in both EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and SE (Somatic Experiencing), and I utilize these body-focused therapies to help my clients be released from years of painful energies locked in their systems. I have also taught parenting classes, Mental Health First Aid, and provide training on Trauma-Informed Care. In April of 2022, I became a trainer for LivingWorks' SafeTALK program.

I received my Bachelor's Degree from Marist College and my Master's from Fordham University. I hold the LCSW-R credential and have been trained to supervise Social Work Students in their field placements. Before joining Talkiatry, I worked as a Director of Clinical Services for a not-for-profit in the Hudson Valley Region of New York State. Prior to that, I worked for a local hospital in the psychiatric department providing treatment to the Inpatient and Outpatient units, and I have held several positions as a clinician and program director. I also appeared in the Vassar College student-developed training video, "He said, She said," which is used to train peer sexual assault counselors.

Additionally, I have a trained therapy dog, Monkey, who goes with me to local hospitals and nursing homes to provide comfort and affection.

I utilize humanistic, person-centered, collaborative, strength-based, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness-based, solution-focused, and emotionally focused approaches to therapy while maintaining an open, flexible, creative atmosphere to remain aware of the unique and individual needs of each client. I seek to create a non-judgmental and safe environment where a caring relationship can be built with my clients to utilize and add to their strengths. Through my practice, a collaboration can bring my clients towards achieving their goals and living the life they desire. My specialties include: Depression, Anxiety, OCD- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, ADHD, Trauma, Grief & Loss, Stress management, Life transitions, Self-esteem issues, and Relationship issues.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and Massachusetts with over ten years' experience working in the mental health field.

I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Human Relations from St. Joseph's College and received my Master of Science in School Counseling and Extended Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University.

My years of experience include working as a Rehabilitation specialist/therapist at a Pros program, a psychotherapist at an outpatient clinic, and a Child and Youth Behavioral Military Family Life counselor working with children and families on a Military base in New York. More recently, I held a role as a psychotherapist on an online platform that provides virtual therapy and continue to engage in this role at Talkiatry.

My greatest passion is helping people make lasting change in their lives. My approach draws on both professional and personal experiences with addiction, trauma, first responders, relationships, and more. By creating a space and relationship where you feel safe, valued, and respected, I work together with you to overcome the challenges of today and build resiliency for the challenges yet to come. Therapy can be a truly transformative experience when it is built on human connection and dedication to change. I take an active approach, which includes asking tough questions while staying respectful, as well as humor and friendly conversations when appropriate. Therapy begins with building trust and a good relationship. I utilize experiences from various practice models, including Cognitive Processing Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience working in the fields of substance abuse and mental health. I have worked with clients with a large variety of concerns and backgrounds, with more experience with male and minority populations. I attended undergraduate school in Alfred, NY and graduate school in Rochester, NY, including a school-based visit to Estonia to learn about social work systems abroad.

My therapeutic approach is client-centered and strengths-based, emphasizing collaboration and empowerment. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their concerns, gain insight, and develop skills to cope effectively with life's challenges. My clinical approach is to utilize the treatment model that best fits the unique needs of each individual. I strive to be sensitive to the various factors that might impact a person's identity, such as culture, ethnicity, disability, neurodivergence, or being part of the LGBTQ+ community. My work is informed by several different modalities, including CBT, DBT, IFS, and Mindfulness-based interventions. I have experience treating many mental health conditions such as Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar disorder, Trauma, Anger, Grief, and PTSD.

I am an LCSW in New York with 18 years of experience in human service and nonprofit organizations.

I utilize various treatment modalities which include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Relational-Cultural Therapy techniques, and I practice from a person-centered and multicultural approach to build a meaningful, therapeutic relationship.

I am a bilingual, National Certified Counselor (NCC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of New York with experience providing services for children, adolescents, and adults. I hold a BA in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a MSEd. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John's University in New York. Prior to becoming licensed as a psychotherapist, I was an educator in the state of Florida and New York with over 5 years of experience in the field. I am passionate about providing psychoeducation as it increases our insight into various mental health issues.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker eager to help others suffering from mental health issues or just adjusting to new circumstances. I have an eclectic approach to care and treatment based on strengths and person-centered care, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution focused approaches, Rogerian theory, mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy, narrative therapy, psychodynamic theory, cognitive processing therapy, and many others. I am more eclectic in my approach because people are different and need a style that fits their individual needs. I am always seeking feedback from my clients to improve clinical outcomes. I do what is necessary and required to make this the best treatment anyone can get, and I want everyone I treat to reach their full potential.

I was trained as an undergraduate in psychology at the University of Alabama, graduating in 1991, and received my MSW in 1997 from the University of Alabama. I became licensed clinically in 2000. Over 24 years, I have treated everything from adjustment disorders to Depressive Disorders, Anxiety disorders, and trauma, and I have extensive experience and training in a variety of modalities and therapeutic interventions.

Additionally, I utilize SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) for families impacted by anxiety and OCD to help them understand the impact these experiences have on their lives, ultimately finding the resolutions and outcomes they hope for. While EMDR therapy is my primary treatment approach for individuals, or SPACE for families, I also utilize ACT, Parts Work, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and others.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of New York. I attended SUNY Buffalo where I obtained a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's in Education with a Certificate of Advanced Study in School Counseling and a Certificate of Advanced Study in Mental Health Counseling. I started my career as a School Counselor before transitioning full-time to Mental Health Counselor.

It is important to me that every client feels safe, heard, and supported. I am easygoing and approachable, and I believe in meeting clients where they are. My goal is to build a trusting relationship where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, feelings, and goals at your own pace. In the beginning, my approach would be Person Centered Therapy to help build a strong therapeutic relationship and for clients to feel supported. Once we've established a foundation, I tailor my approach based on the client's presenting concerns. I often incorporate techniques I have experience with and feel comfortable using, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Therapy. I also believe in being flexible and adapting my methods to fit each client's situation.

I graduated from SUNY Oswego in 2019 with a degree in Mental Health Counseling. While in school, I interned at an outpatient addiction treatment center, which sparked my interest in working with adults. After graduation, I moved back to New York City and continued my work in addiction by working at a rehab facility. I later transitioned to an outpatient clinic where I had the opportunity to work with clients across a wide range of diagnoses for three years. This experience has made me more comfortable and confident supporting individuals with diverse mental health needs.

I specialize in treating clients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, interpersonal issues, and perfectionism. I employ culturally sensitive and person-centered approaches to tailor treatments for each individual. My eclectic therapeutic style is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment Therapy. I also incorporate communication skills, mindfulness, executive functioning, and social skills training into my sessions, fostering comprehensive support for my clients.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience in various aspects of mental health. I earned my undergraduate degree from Nyack College and my Master's from Stony Brook, which deepened my understanding of the field.

I am very down to earth and professionally direct. I practice individualism and treat each patient as their own person. I develop treatment plans with the patient that tailor to each of their individual needs. My treatment styles and modalities include Trauma-Informed Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Grief Therapy.

My typical process when working with patients is to first establish a therapeutic rapport by asking open-ended questions, such as, "Have you been in therapy before, including as a child or teen (if the patient is over 18)?" This helps establish a starting point to build a trusting and individualized relationship. My next question is, "Why did you first enter therapy and were you diagnosed with any mental health disorders?" I continue by asking if the client is or has been on psychotropic medications and what brings them back to therapy. I gather all of this information during the first two sessions and then ask the patient if any skills were built during their therapy journey and if they still utilize those skills. Finally, I administer the ACE Questionnaire to assess for childhood trauma, if the patient is over 18 years of age.

I received my bachelor's degree in Arts and Psychology in 2007 and two master's degrees in science, one in Community Mental Health Counseling and the second in School Counseling Education, in 2011 and 2018. I hold a License in Mental Health Counseling, a Credentialed Alcoholic and Substance Abuse Counseling Certification-Trainee, and a Permanent Certification in School Counseling. I am currently in doctoral school for my School Psychology degree. I am a former Alcohol and Substance Abuse Preventive Worker and Treatment and Therapeutic Foster Care Family Specialist, and I currently practice as an online therapist with my own Mental Health Counseling Private Practice in Buffalo.

I am also the co-founder of an all-girls mentoring and educational program called "Unique Sisters," started in 2014 and owned by my mother, Rhodesia Jackson.

I offer a compassionate, friendly, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences. I meet clients where they are and tailor my approach using a variety of therapeutic modalities. My style is collaborative and supportive, focusing on client goals while working at a comfortable pace.

In the first session, I spend time getting to know the client's history, reasons for seeking therapy, and their goals. Together, we develop a personalized treatment plan. I regularly check in throughout the process to assess progress and make adjustments, always moving at a pace that supports lasting growth.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the NYU Silver School of Social Work in 2020 and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience practicing in private practice and community mental health settings. I bring a broad understanding of therapeutic needs and am committed to helping clients navigate a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges.

As a therapist, my work has given me in-depth insight into how multiple systems and important relationships can influence the course of a person's life. As a queer woman of Haitian descent, I explore different ways the intersectionality of culture, family, identity, and sexuality can impact our lives. I am fascinated by stories of vulnerability, always looking for strengths and solutions. I help people feel safe to be themselves and go from where they are to where they can be. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy, integrating Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Solution-Focused Therapy, collaborative conversations, and systemic approaches to address LGBTQ+ issues, racial trauma, cultural identity exploration, and relational wounds.

I earned a B.S. in Psychology and Biblical Studies from Palm Beach Atlantic University, followed by my M.S. and PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. In 2020, I was featured in Forbes for my study of resilience and intersecting identities in queer women of Afro-Caribbean descent. Past roles include bilingual mental health assessor, psychology instructor at Broward College, and Student Counselor at Lynn University.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic in nature and client centered. I collaborate with my clients, meeting them where they are and helping them find personalized solutions to achieve their goals and become their best selves. I utilize a combination of approaches including mindfulness techniques, cognitive/dialectical behavioral skills (CBT, DBT), as well as compassion and strength-based approaches.

I have prior experience working for a local hospital in the comprehensive psychiatric emergency program (CPEP), where I provided crisis intervention services. I also have prior experience working in substance abuse, providing mental health counseling treatment on an inpatient unit. Additionally, I have worked in community mental health with a variety of different populations.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. It's normal to feel nervous; therapy is a process we'll build together over time. We'll move at your pace, one step at a time, and I'll be here to guide you throughout.

I continue to provide psychotherapy with an eclectic, person-centered, and non-judgmental approach, offering a safe, secure, and empathetic warm environment. My clinical approach includes CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic, and Trauma-Informed care. I also have experience working with the LGBT community, including relationships, intimacy issues, attachment issues, career difficulties, coaching, and compassion fatigue. As I often say, "The world can be a scary, cold, and insensitive place, and there is a lot of uncertainty going around, but together we can get through it." Although I am part of the BIPOC community, I welcome all races, creeds, and religions.

I then worked as a Correction Counselor with the NYC Department of Corrections for a few years, working with female inmates who had substance abuse problems and with adolescents, facilitating treatment recovery groups and psychoeducation. In 1998, I began working with the Administration for Children Services while pursuing my Master's Degree at Hunter College School of Social Work, where I graduated in 2001 with my MSW. For 19 years I worked as a Discharge Planner in a hospital while attending Metropolitan Institute for Mental Health to study in the Adult Psychoanalytic Division. In 2012, I switched gears and began working as a Behavioral Health Care Manager, while also starting my own private practice, called "Live the Life you Want," because I strongly believe that all individuals should live their own lives the way they want to and desire. In 2022, I received a two-year certificate in Integrated Trauma from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, where I received training in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, and I am currently working toward a certification as an Accelerated Experiential Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, an experiential model that seeks to alleviate patients' psychological suffering by helping them process the overwhelming emotions associated with trauma, depression, and anxiety. I have been in the mental health field for over 30 years.

My style is thoughtful and relational, emphasizing curiosity, trust, and authenticity. I believe each person's story matters and work collaboratively to understand patterns, relationships, and strengths that can foster lasting change. Patients can expect a warm, supportive environment that balances compassion with structure, helping individuals explore challenges, identify meaningful goals, build self-awareness, and develop skills that support long-term emotional well-being.

I begin treatment by building a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship grounded in respect and trust. During initial sessions, I take time to understand each patient's history, concerns, and goals, then develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique values and needs. I integrate evidence-based practices with a relational, trauma-informed approach, using behavioral health strategies, psychoeducation, and supportive interventions. I emphasize open communication, regular check-ins, and ongoing review of progress to ensure care remains adaptive, collaborative, and effective.

I welcome patients exactly as they are and create space where they can feel heard, understood, and supported. Clients often describe me as warm, honest, compassionate, and easy to talk to. I bring creativity and a down-to-earth presence to each session, helping patients feel comfortable as they work through life's challenges.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience supporting adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic illness. I have worked with individuals from many backgrounds, including Veterans and caregivers. I begin by learning what matters most to each patient and exploring what may be getting in the way of their well-being. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practices to build practical tools for change. My goal is to help patients reconnect with balance, purpose, and joy while guiding them toward meaningful, lasting growth.

I believe communication is essential when setting goals and boundaries within the counseling relationship. I use fun ice-breaker questions to help patients feel comfortable and to build a strong therapeutic connection. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where patients feel heard, seen, and understood, and I welcome feedback as an important part of the healing process. My clinical interests include inter-generational trauma, women's issues, stress, anxiety, and depression, and I have experience working with Asian Americans, Christians, LGBTQ+ individuals, and young adults ages 18 and older.

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and trauma-informed. I recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing and strive to meet each client where they are. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. I believe that showing up takes courage and feel honored to walk alongside my clients on their journey of growth and self-discovery.

I have over four years of experience in the mental health field. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and have extensive experience practicing in outpatient settings.

It has been my experience that focusing on each layer leads to long-lasting, deeper healing and growth. Believing that each person has it in them to heal and grow, I consider it a unique privilege to assist people on that journey.

I also have experience working with comorbid disorders that can at times go hand-in-hand, such as anxiety and depression, or homelessness and substance use.

I use methods from psychoanalysis, CBT, and DBT, along with light supportive therapy, in order to provide a person-centered approach. I have 7 years of experience working with individuals as well as with children and families, treating anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, and other mental health issues.

I received a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Queens College, City University of New York. I completed training at F.E.G.S and have worked in community mental health and outpatient hospital-based settings. I began by working at New York Psychotherapy and Counseling Center, working with individuals as well as children and families in a high-risk area, providing family therapy, psychodynamic and behavioral therapy, and assisting with the coordination of care with outside agencies. I have worked at St. Joseph's Outpatient Behavioral Health Clinic treating patients with various psychiatric illnesses. I have also worked at St. Vincent's-Westchester Outpatient Behavioral Health Clinic, providing intake, diagnosis, and individual therapy to a population ranging from adolescents to late adults. I continue to work towards expanding my knowledge of evidence-based approaches in order to provide the best outcomes.
