I've been practicing clinical social work for 46 years — and teaching it for much of that time. That depth of experience shapes everything about how I work: I'm confident, direct, and genuinely excited by the process of helping people change.

My specialty is short-term, goal-oriented therapy. I believe that focused, intentional work — done well — can produce lasting results without requiring a years-long commitment. Sessions are active. There's homework. We practice things in the room and then use real life to reinforce them.

I work with children (age 6+), adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, grief, maternal mental health, and relationship stress. If you're ready to do real work and see real movement, I'd be glad to hear from you.

I'm a Clinical Social Worker. My clinical objective includes empowering individuals and families to cultivate their"Inner Harmony Hub". The most important ingredient involves clients exercising self-compassion in a judgement free therapeutic space.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and mutual respect. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. I work with clients across the lifespan and have experience supporting people navigating obsessive and personality disorders, interpersonal relationships, self-care, socialization, and other challenges that can leave you feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself. As a New York State–licensed mental health counselor, I bring an integrative perspective to therapy and strive to understand each client as a whole person rather than simply focusing on a diagnosis or presenting concern. I also have a background in music, which continues to be an important part of my life and informs my belief in finding balance, meaning, and your own unique rhythm.

Does your mind keep replaying conversations, imagining what could go wrong, or telling you that you’re not doing enough? Anxiety and overthinking can make it hard to feel present and trust yourself. Therapy can help you understand those patterns, quiet the mental noise, and build practical tools for feeling more grounded and confident. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Hi, I’m Valerie, and I specialize in complex/developmental trauma and grief. I work primarily with women navigating childhood trauma, complicated family dynamics, narcissistic abuse, and what it means to move through life without the support they should have had. I also work with young adults who have experienced the loss of one or both parents.

Many of my clients are used to being the "strong one" -- the one who holds everything together, even while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted underneath. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to do that anymore.

I use EMDR and Induced After Death Communication therapies to help process experiences that feel stuck, not just intellectually, but emotionally and physically. This work goes beyond talking about what happened; we focus on helping your system actually shift so those experiences no longer carry the same weight.

I have a particular passion for working with grief, including the kind that isn’t always recognized—like estrangement, losing a parent (emotionally or physically), or becoming an adult without the support you needed. I don’t believe grief is something you “get over,” but something you learn to carry differently.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Fordham University and my Bachelor of Social Work from Adelphi University, graduating summa cum laude from both. I began my work in a community mental health clinic and later worked in several private practices before opening my own.

Hi, I'm Kristina. I work with people navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, and the weight that builds up when life gets genuinely hard. That includes LGBTQ+ youth and adults, adolescents with disabilities, couples, people of color, and clients who have felt like the system was not

built with them in mind. My approach is integrative and strengths-based, with CBT and trauma-informed care at the core, and I show up with genuine empathy and honest

directness. I have received training in exposure and response prevention, psychoeducational testing, and family and forensic psychology, and I have worked with couples, court-mandated individuals, and clients who struggle financially. Reach out when you are ready. (Psy.D.,

Hofstra University 2022; MA, Teachers College Columbia 2015.)

I am a Spanish native-speaker therapist that has lived in the US for over 20 years. My experience comes from working in community mental health, school, and hospital settings, with diverse populations from Los Angeles to New York. I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Social work. I am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Work in the state of NY.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and find yourself having difficulty focusing on completing daily tasks? Are the people closest to you concerned about your ability to maintain and stay afloat? Have you found that once you finally get a chance to relax, you are left with exhaustion and racing thoughts with increased worry?

As a Latina therapist, I understand how culture, family, and life experiences can shape who we are—sometimes in beautiful ways, and sometimes in ways that feel heavy or overwhelming. I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions, or who simply feel stuck and want something to change.

Life is hard enough, starting therapy doesn't have to make it harder. As your therapist, I am dedicated to guiding you through life's challenges and helping you become the best version of yourself. I use a blend of psychodynamic and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, I emphasize the importance of relationships and meet you where you are on your unique journey. Let's collaborate in a safe, judgment-free space, exploring your unique journey and strengthening your connections for positive change.

Maybe the same arguments keep happening at home, or you and your partner feel distant and struggle to reconnect. Maybe you’re navigating a new role as a husband, wife, or parent, and adjusting feels harder than you expected. Maybe life after a new baby feels overwhelming, or stress has been building quietly until everything feels heavy. Whatever brought you here, we can start with where you are and work together toward the changes you want to make.

I’m Roxanne, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I have experience helping couples improve communication, rebuild trust, reconnect emotionally, and work through challenges with physical and emotional intimacy. Together, we can explore what’s keeping you disconnected and work toward a more fulfilling relationship.

Much of my work also centers on family relationships, parenting, and the many roles women are asked to carry. I welcome clients navigating grief, painful past experiences, questions of identity, and the push and pull of cultural expectations. I hold master’s degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and School Counseling, and my experience spans private practice, schools, homes, and community settings.
