With over 14 years of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve their fullest potential. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My specialties are: life transitions, codependency, boundary setting, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, people pleasing and relationship difficulties.

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like themselves. Many of my patients come in with anxiety, depression, mood changes, sleep problems, or difficulty functioning the way they want to in daily life.

My approach is clear, structured, and collaborative. I do more than prescribe medication. I help you understand what may be contributing to your symptoms, what your options are, and what a realistic plan looks like moving forward.

If you’ve ever left an appointment feeling rushed or unsure about what to do next, my goal is to make sure that doesn’t happen here.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who offers caring, evidence-based medication management across the lifespan. I focus on treating ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, panic disorder, and insomnia, and I work closely with each person to understand their unique experiences and goals.

I believe mental health care should be supportive, never rushed or judgmental. My approach is patient-centered and practical. I take time to listen, explain your options, and include you in every treatment decision. Whether you are starting medication, making changes to your current plan, or seeking more balance and clarity, I want you to feel heard and empowered.

I’m Dr. Arica Austin, a licensed clinical Psychologist- here to guide you through life’s most complex and difficult matters. I truly care about my patients’ well-being and I go above and beyond to help them through all their obstacles! I believe that therapy should be a collaborative effort and I want to make sure you are receiving the care that best fits your needs.

Since completing my Masters of Social Work at Fordham University in 2012 I have had nearly 15 years of professional experience in a variety of community mental health settings. I have developed a passion for supporting young adults through life transitions, working through relationship challenges, and emotion focused work.

I'm a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, Registered Drama Therapist, and Ph.D. in Organizational Development. My personal and professional work in social and racial justice informs my commitment to addressing the impact of trauma among those who identify as caregivers, protectors and fighters.
