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.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, I know reaching out for support can be incredibly challenging, especially when you’re exhausted from constantly criticizing yourself, overthinking every decision, or carrying experiences from the past that still affect how you see yourself today.


Prioritizing your own healing can be difficult when so much feels outside of your control. My goal is to create a warm, open-minded, and occasionally humorous space where you feel supported every step of the way.


Wherever your healing journey begins, we’ll move at your pace and figure it out together.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Welcome—I’m glad you’re here!


My name is Chaim, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I provide trauma-informed therapy for adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma (C-PTSD), low self-esteem, confidence concerns, and relationship challenges.

My approach combines evidence-based care with warmth, curiosity, and compassion.


As a client, you might consider exploring the experiences and patterns that contribute to your struggles while building practical tools to support emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and meaningful change.


I bring a multicultural perspective to my work and strive to offer an affirming, respectful space for people of diverse cultures, identities, and life experiences. Therapy is tailored to your individual needs, values, strengths, and goals—whether you are seeking support independently or as a couple.

You may be healing from painful experiences, feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, navigating relationship conflict, or hoping to reconnect with your confidence and sense of self. You do not have to face it alone.


My goal is to help you move beyond survival and coping toward greater resilience, self-understanding, and a life that feels more authentic, connected, and fulfilling.

Jihan Nacel

Jihan Nacel

Therapist

Virtual • New York


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.
