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.

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.

My aim is to create a warm, judgement free, safe space for you to understand yourself better. I see therapy as a journey between two people. At times the journey can feel daunting, overwhelming, and challenging, and I am here to help make the burden a little easier to bear. I work with individuals of all backgrounds and of various ages, coping with trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal and relationship struggles, work stress, stage of life transitions, and more. I have been on my own therapy journey too, so I understand what it is like to be on the "other side" of the room. I aim to use my own experience in therapy to bring empathy and compassion to your therapy journey.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of nursing experience, caring for individuals from diverse backgrounds across healthcare and community settings.

My clinical background includes approximately one year working with men experiencing homelessness, where I conducted psychiatric evaluations to identify diagnosed and previously unrecognized mental health conditions that could affect employment, housing stability, and daily functioning. This experience strengthened my understanding of how mental health, life circumstances, and social challenges can impact overall well-being.

I also have extensive experience in postpartum and maternal health, giving me a unique understanding of perinatal and postpartum mental health concerns. While this remains a special area of interest, I provide psychiatric care to adults with a wide range of mental health needs, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and sleep difficulties.

At NurtureNest Behavioral Health, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, personalized medication management, and supportive therapy using a compassionate, evidence-based approach. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together toward greater emotional well-being and an improved quality of life.
