Do you or your teen struggle with racing thoughts, constant worry, repetitive checking, mood changes, or difficulty quieting your mind at night? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, caught in a cycle of intrusive thoughts, or frustrated by sleep difficulties that leave you exhausted the next day. You don't have to navigate these challenges alone. With the right support, meaningful change is possible. New patient psychiatric evaluations are available within 72 hours.

I provide personalized psychiatric care for adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression, mood changes, and sleep difficulties.

Danielle McCall

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I've worked with people at a lot of different points in their lives. Kids dealing with trauma before they even have the words for it, teens who are crumbling under pressure, adults who've been trying to survive for years. I spent a lot of my career doing in-home and outpatient work across three New Jersey counties, which means I've seen what real life actually looks like for the people I work with not just what they bring into a session. I specialize in trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and women's issues, and I work with clients from age 6 through adulthood. My job is to help you understand what's happening, figure out what's kept you stuck, and give you tools that help when things get hard.

Ayana Ainyette

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I'm a Black Latina Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey, and I work primarily with teens and young adults — the years when everything is changing at once and no one really teaches you how to hold it. My background is unusually wide: I've worked in elementary schools, done in-home counseling with families in crisis, supported patients living with chronic kidney disease, counseled Rutgers students who aged out of foster care, and worked inside New Jersey's child protection system. What that means for you is that I've sat with people in almost every setting a young person moves through, and very little is going to slow us down. I see clients across New Jersey via telehealth on weekdays — so therapy fits around school, work, and real life instead of the other way around.
