Brittany Croley, MA, Lmhc, Lcat

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a dual-licensed psychotherapist (LMHC, LCAT) providing online therapy to adults across New York State.

My work integrates trauma-informed care with evidence-based methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS-informed approaches, and psychodynamic therapy.

I work with adults who appear composed externally yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or relationally stuck beneath the surface. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals navigating demanding professional or personal roles who notice patterns they’re ready to understand and shift.

My style is warm, attuned, and thoughtfully direct. I value depth, clarity, and accountability. Our work focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, deepening insight, and refining relational patterns in ways that support sustainable, meaningful change.

If you’re seeking focused, depth-oriented therapy and are ready to engage thoughtfully in this process, I look forward to the possibility of working together.

Dr. Nancy Dawson

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I'm a licensed mental health counselor with a doctorate in psychology and 20 years of experience working with adults and seniors, including people navigating ADHD, trauma, grief, mood disorders, and major life transitions. My approach is faith-informed: I integrate a Christian worldview into my clinical work for clients who want that, and I offer a secular, evidence-based framework for those who don't. Either way, I take the whole person seriously — not just the symptom. I completed brain health training through the Amen Clinic, which has meaningfully shaped how I think about ADHD and cognitive health in older adults. I'm also a published author: my 2019 book came out of doctoral research on fear, dementia, and the aging mind.
