Monica Velasquez

Monica Velasquez

Therapist

Virtual • New York


As a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in helping children and families navigate the challenges that come with trauma, anxiety, and life stressors. Trauma can significantly impact daily life, affecting relationships, emotional well-being, and the ability to cope with everyday challenges. The effects can show up in ways such as difficulty focusing, heightened stress responses, or struggles with self-esteem, often creating a barrier to leading a fulfilling life.

With over 7 years of experience, I work with children ages 5 and up, providing tailored support to help them process their experiences and develop healthier coping strategies. Additionally, I offer caregiver support, helping parents and guardians strengthen their parenting skills and foster effective communication and connection with their children. I believe that when families are supported, they can thrive together, and I am here to help guide families toward healing and growth.

It is my belief that each of us has the ability to find our best self. With guidance, insight and a desire to move forward we can obtain optimal emotional, spiritual and mental health. My practice encompasses supportive exploration and accomplishment of one's identified goal(s) with compassion, intuition and an eclectic blend of therapy methods. Much of my work is with individuals who are experiencing issues related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma and substance abuse. With couples and families the work is focused upon exploring, identifying and addressing issues surrounding poor communication, trust and boundaries.

Amalia Zager

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Kripalu-trained yoga teacher, and Level 2 Reiki Practitioner.

I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence, balance, and self-compassion. I’ve worked across schools, outpatient mental health, and crisis settings, giving me experience supporting people from many different backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns. My years in crisis work have shaped how I show up as a therapist—grounded, empathetic, calm, and direct. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, people-pleasing, boundary difficulties, and harsh self-criticism.

I believe our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and bodies are deeply connected. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including DBT, TF-CBT, and PRT, alongside mind-body practices to create care that is personalized to each client. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build practical skills, and develop greater resilience and emotional well-being.
