Sarah Hatkoff

Therapist

Virtual • New York


As a seasoned clinician I help individuals face life’s challenges head-on—whether it’s anxiety, stress, depression, relationships, self-esteem, or major transitions. Unprocessed emotions don’t just go away; they show up in your mood, energy, work, and relationships. Avoiding them keeps you stuck. Therapy isn’t about quick fixes or sugarcoating—it’s about doing the real work. If you’re ready to stop circling the same patterns and start making real, lasting change, I’m here to help you get there.

Pasqual D'Onofrio

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hi, I’m Pasqual D’Onofrio, a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience helping adults move through anxiety, burnout, and relationship distress.

My approach blends practical tools with reflective, emotionally attuned therapy. Whether you are navigating stress, uncertainty, or painful communication patterns, our work creates space to understand what is happening beneath the surface, and how to shift it. I offer a supportive, focused environment where you will not be

rushed, or expected to have it all figured out.

I work exclusively via telehealth with clients throughout New York State. Therapy with me will feel like finally being able to name what you have been carrying and learning how to meet it with clarity, curiosity, and care. If you are ready to begin from where you are, I’d be honored to support you.

Psychologist

My therapeutic method is tailored to fit your temperament and individual experience. You may be facing a combination of personal, social, and institutional adversity. Discomfort may be unavoidable, but you are not alone; I can help you transform hardship or tragedy into resilience. My process is effective; it evolves as you do. If you experience negative feelings like inadequacy, grief, or shame, I can help you understand the origin of the discomfort and make changes toward ease. Sometimes, worry can be helpful; other times, anxiety and depression lie to us. Having worked in both economically-strained and prosperous communities, I have seen the impact of trauma and neglect on various people. I also understand being a white male can insulate me against the prejudice and discrimination commonly experienced by people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community; I trust my client’s experiences and take responsibility for my blind spots.

Casey Fieldman

Therapist

My name is Casey, and I am a licensed clinical social worker based in New York City. Most recently, I have been working at an NYU Langone family health center in Brooklyn, supporting individuals facing a wide range of challenges, with a particular focus on co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns.

Before becoming a therapist, I developed programming and partnerships for a company centered on holistic wellness and spiritual inquiry. Through that work, I was exposed to alternative modalities such as herbalism, psychedelics, astrology, tarot, and Eastern philosophies. These experiences have deepened my understanding of healing and complement the tools offered by contemporary psychology.
