My name is Hypatia (pronounced Hy-PAH-Shuh), and I work with adults who are tired of carrying everything on their own.
You might look like you have it all together, but internally you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, burned out, grieving, or emotionally drained. You may be the person everyone relies on, yet struggle to find space for your own needs. You think deeply, feel deeply, and may use creativity, reflection, or self-expression to make sense of the world.
I offer therapy that is compassionate and down-to-earth. Together, we'll explore what's weighing on you, build on your strengths, and develop tools that support healing, growth, and greater balance. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, not judged, labeled, or reduced to a diagnosis.

Hi, I’m Mollie Smetana, LCSW, a New York-based clinical social worker specializing in anxiety, relationship concerns, and eating disorders. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from New York University and have experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, body image concerns, disordered eating, self-esteem, and life transitions. I also hold additional training in eating disorders and body image through the William Alanson White Institute.
I want you to feel comfortable and understood from the very first conversation we have. My work centers on helping people manage anxiety, lift the weight of depression, and find steady footing in recovery from addiction. I see care as something we build together, not something done to you, so your voice shapes every step of the plan. Whether you are just starting to notice something feels off or you have carried a struggle for years, you deserve a partner who listens closely and treats your goals as the compass. I bring warmth, encouragement, and a genuine belief that change is possible, and I am glad you are here.
Hi there! My name is Libby and I am happy you’re here. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been providing therapy for clients for six years.
Hi! I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a graduate degree from New York University. I have many years of experience working with adolescents and adults in multiple settings facing various complex mental health issues, including ADHD, trauma, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and mood disorders.
Greetings,
I'm Brooke Ayoub, and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Certified Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor.
I earned my Master's degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling from Auburn University and completed an Advanced Graduate Certification in Mental Health Counseling from the University at Buffalo.
I also have a holistic background as a yoga instructor, Reiki Master, and an Ayurvedic practitioner. These practices have deepened my understanding of the connection between the mind, body, and overall well-being.
I have a particular passion for working with men, especially guys in their 20s and 30s. A lot of the young men I see are dealing with something the research is only now catching up to — an erosion of in-person connection, a sense of drift, and a shortage of spaces where they can actually say what's going on. I'm genuinely excited and motivated by this work because I believe this generation of men needs — and deserves — real support. That said, I also welcome clients navigating anxiety, discouragement, depression, workplace stress, relationship dynamics, and life transitions of all kinds.
I'm a Brooklyn-bred Psychotherapist and earned my LCSW in 2009. I previously worked in the corporate world, and understand pressure, ambition, career transitions, and what it feels like when the thing you've built your identity around stops fitting. Since becoming a therapist, I've worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, substance abuse treatment, and psych rehab before settling into a private practice where I'm focused on the work I care most about.
