I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who began my career at the Dent Neurologic Institute, where I focused on the connection between brain function and mental health. I am a good listener and devote much of my appointment time to understanding patient concerns and treatment expectations.

My psychiatric practice is rooted in my knowledge of how different neurotransmitters influence mood, memory, intellect, and cognition, shaping each person’s unique experience.

Hi, I am Kamilla, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over six years of experience working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings, including community mental health, forensic services, behavioral health, and developmental disability programs. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and have extensive experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions.
I want you to know that when you come into therapy with me, you don’t have to pretend, minimize, or hold everything together. You get to show up exactly as you are — overwhelmed, hopeful, exhausted, confused, motivated, or anything in between. We take it from there together.
My favorite part of this work has always been sitting with people one‐on‐one. That’s where real connection and real healing happen. I genuinely enjoy getting to know who you are, what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping might feel different.
My style is warm, steady, and honest. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you understand the experiences and patterns that are shaping your life. I’m also practical — I like to offer tools and strategies you can actually use in your day‐to‐day life, not just in the therapy room.
I work with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major transitions, and substance use concerns. But most importantly, I work with people who feel stuck or weighed down and aren’t sure how to move forward. Everyone deserves a space where they can breathe and be supported.
Something I tell clients often is this: I don’t want you to just feel better — I want you to be well. Feeling better can be temporary. Being well means building insight, healing, and lasting change.
My goal is simple: to help you feel safe, understood, and supported as you find your footing and move toward what’s healthier and more meaningful for you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New Paltz
Searching for therapists in New Paltz starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, focus areas, and what sessions may look like.
New Paltz has a smaller local therapy market than nearby metro areas, so virtual therapy can help expand your options while keeping care connected to New York. You may prefer an in-person office near New Paltz, Wallkill, or Gardiner, or you may want the flexibility of virtual appointments from home. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you see how each therapist describes their approach and decide who may be a good fit.
Therapy in New Paltz can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in New Paltz, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
