Janet O'Hare

Janet O'Hare

Therapist

Virtual • New York


My name is Janet O’Hare. In my psychotherapy practice, I work with people of all ages and many backgrounds, with all kinds of goals and concerns. These often include:

· Addressing worries and stresses

· Navigating knotty problems in life

· Working on relationships

· Welcoming a new child into the family

· Dealing with a serious illness

· Handling a major career challenge

· Managing trauma-related issues

I am especially interested in the zone where the waves of the soul crash on the rocks of the body. I have a great deal of experience with trauma of many types, in many degrees of severity. I have also worked extensively with, and have a special love for, new families, mothers and childbearing. I am honored to be present at the end of life. I am a psychodynamic feminist and am deeply interested in history and in political and moral movements.

Living with ADHD, anxiety, or depression is exhausting — especially when you're trying to hold everything together at the same time. You deserve a provider who meets you where you are and builds a plan that actually moves you forward.I'm Zinny Ezete, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with licenses in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. I specialize in medication management and psychiatric care for teenagers and adults dealing with ADHD, anxiety disorders, and depression. My approach is direct, evidence-based, and built around your real life — not a generic protocol.My clinical background includes forensic psychiatry, inpatient psychiatric care, and advanced practice across major New York City hospital systems. I've worked with patients at every level of complexity, which means I bring both depth and flexibility to your care.I'm a good fit for you if:

— You've been struggling with ADHD that affects your focus, relationships, or career

— Anxiety is running your decisions or keeping you up at night

— Depression has been dulling your life and you're ready for something to actually change

— You want a provider who is thorough, honest, and treats you like an intelligent adultI offer telehealth appointments in NY, NJ, and CT and am currently accepting new patients.

Shih Han Lu

Therapist

Virtual • New York


As an Asian immigrant from Taiwan, I understand firsthand the pressures of balancing cultural expectations with life in the U.S.—like feeling torn between family obligations and personal goals, navigating identity in different cultural spaces, or struggling to express emotions that may not feel “acceptable” in your community. These experiences inform my work with clients who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected, especially when patterns from the past show up in relationships, work, or life transitions. With years of experience in private practice and community clinics in NYC, I create a compassionate, culturally attuned space for young adults, professionals, and anyone seeking to better understand themselves, explore their emotions, and build clarity, confidence, and resilience.
