I look forward to meeting you. I have been an Independent Clinical Social Worker for eight years, providing counseling grounded in respect, compassion, empathy, and strong emotional support. I know how much courage it takes to begin making changes because I have experienced it myself. My own changes have included a career shift, moving halfway across the world, building a home, and starting a family. Whether you seek major change or small adjustments, I am here to support and empower you.
I've been doing this work for 25 years — which means I've sat with a lot of people in a lot of different kinds of pain, and I've watched most of them find their way through it. I work with adolescents, adults, and families dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ identity, cultural identity, and the messy overlaps between all of those things. I'm warm, direct, and probably a little funnier than you'd expect from a therapist. That's intentional. Some of the hardest healing I've witnessed happened in moments that also had some lightness in them. I'm LGBTQ+ affirming, work with couples and families in addition to individuals, and I accept Aetna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Cigna through Headway — plus several additional insurers on Psychology Today.
I’m Angela, a dedicated and empathetic Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience providing comprehensive mental health care. I work with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use, and sleep disorders, as well as life transitions related to relationships, career, and personal growth. My focus is on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where every client feels heard and empowered.
I am a down-to-earth, approachable therapist with over a decade of experience supporting teenagers, young adults, and their families. Many clients arrive hesitant about therapy but quickly find a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where they can talk about anything. I strive to be responsive to each person’s life experiences, including gender- and race-based toxic stress and trauma. I completed my training at Boston University and spent several years working with a multidisciplinary team at a safety-net hospital.
I bring an authentic presence to the therapeutic partnership, and am prepared to meet you where you are at- it's your time, so I value human-centered work. My approach is often described as relaxed, nonjudgmental and meaningful, but dynamic enough to adapt to the specific needs of my clients.
As a licensed social worker with over 11 years of experience across diverse populations
and life challenges, I have developed a deep understanding of how person, environment,
and context all shape our wellbeing. I have supported individuals and families navigating
anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, life transitions, and questions of identity. My approach
is strength-based at its core: I see you as the expert in your own life, and my role is to
help you build on what already works while navigating what feels stuck. I am now focused
on supporting adults in individual therapy, and I would love to connect with you.
I graduated from Fordham University Graduate School of Social Services. I've had the opportunity to work with the elderly, adolescents, teens and families. Providing family therapy is my specialty.
My name is Kristen Buckley. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to supporting adults as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful, lasting change. My practice focuses on treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and substance use, using a compassionate, client-centered approach tailored to each individual’s unique experiences and goals.
I am a Latinx provider with a special interest in trauma and stressor related disorders. I have 10 years of experience in outpatient and residential settings. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and their families.
Stephanie Barkley graduated from Saint Louis University with a doctorate in medical family therapy. She has been practicing for 15+ years. She uses modalities that deconstruct patterns preventing you from reaching your full potential. Her counseling sessions will help you reconnect with yourself and the present moment and make yourself and your relationships priorities again.
