Therapist

Therapy should be as unique as the individual seeking it—what works for one person may not work for another. I provide a relaxed, welcoming environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. My approach is grounded in attachment theory and psychodynamic therapy, meaning I help clients uncover how past relationships and experiences shape their current patterns, behaviors, and emotional well-being

Therapist

I get it. You’re tired of feeling stuck, exhausted, and like nothing’s really changing. You’ve been carrying a lot, and it’s starting to feel heavy. As a psychotherapist in practice for over 10 years, I’m passionate about walking alongside adults on their healing journey, especially those navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Whether you're a professional burning out, a veteran facing emotional pain, or a student trying to find your footing, I offer support rooted in compassion and real tools like EMDR and CBT. More importantly, I create a space where you can show up just as you are and feel truly seen, safe, and supported.

Living with ADHD, anxiety, or depression is exhausting — especially when you're trying to hold everything together at the same time. You deserve a provider who meets you where you are and builds a plan that actually moves you forward.I'm Zinny Ezete, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with licenses in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. I specialize in medication management and psychiatric care for teenagers and adults dealing with ADHD, anxiety disorders, and depression.

I've worked with patients at every level of complexity, which means I bring both depth and flexibility to your care.I'm a good fit for you if:

— You've been struggling with ADHD that affects your focus, relationships, or career

— Anxiety is running your decisions or keeping you up at night

— Depression has been dulling your life and you're ready for something to actually change

— You want a provider who is thorough, honest, and treats you like an intelligent adultI offer telehealth appointments in NY, NJ, and CT and am currently accepting new patients.
