I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck, disconnected from their body, or who carry an extensive trauma history. Whether you’re highly analytical and struggling to drop into your body, or finding it hard to feel and name your emotions, I offer approaches that meet you where you are. Using somatic and body-based methods, including movement, mindfulness, imagery, and metaphor, I help clients access their inner world, integrate difficult experiences, and break through old patterns.

I have been working as a licensed psychologist for more than 30 years, providing individual and group psychotherapy to older adolescents and adults within diverse settings, including inpatient and intensive outpatient eating disorder treatment facilities, skilled nursing facilities, college counseling centers, community mental health clinics, and private practice.

Having served as Director of College and Career Services for Oxford College of Emory University, and Dean of Students for New York Film Academy, I have particular passion and expertise for working with college-age adults--helping them navigate the overwhelming life-stage challenges of forging identity, living independently, deciding career and major, cultivating relationships, managing academic demands—while, encouraging them to honor their unique physical and mental health needs.

I'm Arnice (she/her), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Queens, NY, offering telehealth therapy across New York in both English and Spanish.

My work centers on the things that often go unspoken — the guilt of a gambling habit that's taken more than money, the way substance use can quietly reshape a family, the arguments that start small and somehow never get resolved. I work with adults and teenagers (13+) facing these and other challenges, including anxiety, depression, anger, and the complicated feelings that come with relationship and family stress.

I trained at NYU and Adelphi University and have spent my career working with individuals, couples, and families — especially those navigating addiction, behavioral health concerns, and the everyday tensions that build up in close relationships. I use approaches like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Gottman Method, and somatic techniques, always adapted to what actually fits the person in front of me.

Being bilingual isn't just practical — it means I can meet you in the language where your feelings live. I take Aetna, Anthem/Empire, Carelon, and Cigna.

As a person of color, I understand the impact of culture and family on life experiences and societal constructs; I want to ensure that you feel safe without any judgment. We will work together, with you coming up with your goals and what you would like to work on as well as identifying the barriers that may prevent you from moving forward. Each session is gently tailored to the client’s needs and level of readiness to address them. As a therapist, I will support you to shift out of what is not necessary to get to what is most valuable to you. I practice through a solution-focused approach, client-centered therapy, and narrative therapy. I want you to be free of emotional pain, able to deal with life on your terms, and able to find meaningful purpose in work, family, friendships, spirituality, and all other life areas by taking it one day at a time!

I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, understood, and supported. With more than 20 years of experience in mental health, community healthcare, education, and non-profit settings, I've had the privilege of walking alongside adolescents, adults, and families through life's most challenging moments. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a warm, compassionate, and culturally responsive environment where you can show up as your authentic self. My goal is to help you build on your strengths, deepen self-awareness, and move toward a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.

I believe therapy is most effective when it comes from both professional training and real-life experience I have over 47 years experience. In addition to studying psychology, philosophy, theology, and the arts, I believe therapists should live fully and use what they’ve learned to help others grow into their fullest selves. I have a Master of Social Work from Fordham, an Advanced Clinical Certificate from NYU, and more than four decades of experience helping people.

My mission is to help people like yourself to silence the noise in this world and recalibrate in order to move forward in living to your full potential
