I have nearly a decade of experience working with a variety of individuals with many backgrounds. I emphasize the importance of a trauma-informed and supportive approach. I have expertise in treating a number of diagnoses, including ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and trauma. I offer a number of modalities, including CBT, MI, DBT, EMDR and IFS.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I have extensive experience supporting individuals living with chronic illness, as well as the family members and caregivers who care for them. I also work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of difficult life experiences.

I provide a neutral, non-judgmental zone to explore and find positive coping strategies that can improve daily living. I believe that positive coping strategies will empower us to live our best lives. I will aid you in finding and exploring factors in your past and present that have hindered you from recognizing your internal strength, thereby empowering you to move forward and become mentally healthier. I hold a strong belief that talk therapy allows for a collaborative effort to utilize grounded theories as the tools needed to help you heal, change, accept and live your best life.

I am specifically trained in trauma and bring a trauma-informed perspective to my work. I specialize in supporting children (3+), adolescents, and young adults (18y-35y). My approach is grounded in psychoeducation—I believe clients should leave each session with useful knowledge and tools to help them achieve their goals. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where every client feels understood and empowered.

Life can be overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood. As a therapist and a longtime educator, I bring warmth, curiosity, and decades of experience helping people through anxiety, grief, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, together, we'll build on your strengths and find practical strategies to help you move forward.

I am a holistic, person-centered, strengths-oriented, solution-focused provider who recognizes that multiple elements affect an individual over time. My Bachelor degree is in Psychology and my Master degree is in Social Work with experience in populations having traumatic brain injuries, severe mental health needs, and addiction challenges, among other factors. I am community oriented and enjoy meeting each person where they are, to achieve their goals, long-term.

I'm Jihan — a bilingual LCSW, second-generation Cuban/American Latina, and relational therapist

based in New York City, offering Telehealth sessions across New York State. I have four years of

clinical experience working with adults and adolescents across a range of concerns: anxiety, grief,

ADHD, major life transitions, trauma, burnout, and the kind of identity work that comes with being

young, bicultural, or figuring out who you are in a world that doesn't always have room for

complexity.

I'm proudly LGBTQ+ affirming and see clients across the gender and sexuality spectrum.

I work best with adolescents, young adults, and adults in the middle of something — a transition, a

loss, a recognition that old patterns aren't working. I'm not here to foster dependency or give you a

script for your life. I'm here to help you build the kind of self-understanding that goes with you.

Looking for a therapist who'll be honest with you — not just agreeable? I offer direct, compassionate care, all from the comfort of wherever you are. I'll validate what you're feeling when it needs to be heard, and gently challenge you when it's time to look at things differently. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we'll work together to reshape the narratives keeping you stuck and help you see your life through a new lens.

Hi my name is Celina Patterson. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience working with teens, adults, BIPOC clients, and educators navigating trauma, anxiety, or depression. Many of my clients have held it together for so long that they don't know how to put it down — and reaching out for support takes real courage. As someone who has also worked full-time in a school setting for years, I have a deep understanding of the compassion fatigue that comes with caring for others professionally, and I hold particular space for educators and school staff. I offer a judgment-free space where you are seen, heard, and valued.
