I have a vast background in social work as an NYU graduate. Beginning with early intervention and ABA therapy all throughout Manhattan and growing into the Jewish Board of Child and Family Therapy learning CBT, family, group and couples therapy. Practicing for over 20 years with CBT and IFS modalities as I find them to be the most effective, compassionate and straightforward approach to getting to know the self with a kind lens. Our society wants us to be in resistance to ourselves and we get to take a look at how that impacts us together. There is nothing wrong with your feelings, it is how they were treated that was wrong.
Hello! My name is Bianca Hormaza Pesola; I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York. I obtained my Master of Social Work degree from Long Island University. Since 2014, I have worked with clients of all ages within several clinical settings. I have over nine years of direct practice experience in the field of mental health. I am committed to helping children, adolescents, and adults achieve mental wellness and overcome challenges in their lives.
I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy. Please note, I do not provide couple or family therapy services on insurance as these forms of therapy are not recognized by insurances. If you'd like couple or family services, I provide out of network services and can also provide a sliding scale based on your income/ genuine financial need.
My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.
I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.
I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Master of Science in Nursing. I provide compassionate, evidence based care for adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related disorders, and other mental health conditions. I am a passionate advocate for promoting mental wellness, empowering individuals to manage their conditions effectively and live fulfilling lives.
Thank you for taking the time to read my bio! I have been a Licensed Social Worker for 17 years and believe that therapy is a wonderful tool for growth and change. My approach is to meet you where you are on your journey and help you live your best life!

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Brooklyn
Searching for ADHD therapists in Brooklyn starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD can focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, and support with organization or follow-through. Medication management is separate from therapy and is handled by a psychiatrist or another qualified prescriber. Some people look for one type of care, while others work with both. If you are looking for an ADHD therapist for adults, support for a child or teen, or care that also addresses anxiety, depression, or stress, review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach before booking.
Brooklyn has many mental health therapists across neighborhoods, which can make the number of choices harder to sort through. Location may matter if you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, school, or transit. Virtual sessions can also expand your options if your schedule changes often or you want to search beyond nearby offices. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Therapist bios can help you understand how they work with ADHD, how they structure sessions, and whether their communication style matches what you are looking for.
Therapy in Brooklyn can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, show real-time availability, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your plan details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, then browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
