I believe the best mental health care starts with feeling heard and understood. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you can openly discuss your concerns and feel comfortable being yourself. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, OCD, sleep challenges, grief, and maternal mental health. I take time to understand your unique experiences and develop a treatment plan that supports not just symptom relief, but your overall well-being and long-term quality of life.

Greetings and I thank you for reading my bio. I'm a native of upstate New York. Growing up I was always fascinated by the resiliency of people. Due to personal setbacks in my own life, I was driven to pursue a career in behavioral health. I obtained my masters degree in social work at Syracuse University.

I am well versed in treating many populations in our community. I have provided therapeutic services to soldiers, inmates, youth and adults. In addition to the traditional therapeutic modalities below, I introduce mindfulness and meditation to your sessions.

Hi, I’m Maya, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience working with adults and children from diverse backgrounds. Throughout my career, I’ve supported individuals navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma—often during times when they felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward.

I’m especially passionate about working with women and individuals facing grief, maternal mental health challenges, infertility, relationship stress, and major life transitions. My work is rooted in helping people reconnect with their sense of autonomy, voice, and inner strength. I believe meaningful change begins when you feel truly heard and supported.

Welcome,

My name is Dallana Contreras, LCSW. As a clinical social worker, my practice is grounded in a generalist framework that integrates the person-in-environment perspective with evidence-based and culturally responsive approaches. I have wide range of experience in school based supports, crisis teams, mental health outpatient and hospital settings.

I chose social work because I believe in the power of human connection and the ability of people to transform their lives when given support, respect, and opportunity.
