Hi, I’m Lexi, also known as That Therapy Girl. I graduated from Florida State University with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and went on to earn my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, with a focus on family systems.
When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m also a proud fur mom to two: a tabby cat and my Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier.
If something has felt off for a while, you're not imagining it — and you don't have to keep pushing through alone.
Maybe it's work stress, a relationship that's wearing on you, or just the relentless pace of life in New York. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know: what you're feeling makes sense, and things can genuinely get better.
I'm Sarah, a licensed psychologist with a Psy.D. from Spalding University. I specialize in anxiety and depression, and I've worked across hospitals, correctional settings, and private practice — experiences that gave me a deep respect for how differently people cope, survive, and heal. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I won't treat you like a checklist.
Hi, I'm Nicole, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Westchester County with over 20 years experience. I work with clients throughout NYC and New York State.I believe therapy should feel approachable and real—not intimidating or overly clinical.
My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, explore what's not working, and develop practical tools to create meaningful change in your life. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, navigating a difficult transition, or simply feeling stuck, I'm here to support you.
I provide evidence-based therapy for anxiety, depression, and life transitions in a calm supportive space.
It is my belief that each of us has the ability to find our best self. With guidance, insight and a desire to move forward we can obtain optimal emotional, spiritual and mental health. My practice encompasses supportive exploration and accomplishment of one's identified goal(s) with compassion, intuition and an eclectic blend of therapy methods. Much of my work is with individuals who are experiencing issues related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma and substance abuse. With couples and families the work is focused upon exploring, identifying and addressing issues surrounding poor communication, trust and boundaries.
When anxiety, grief, or big life changes start to feel overwhelming, it can be hard to know where to turn. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what you’re going through, and identify small, doable steps toward relief. I work especially with adults and seniors facing depression, panic, trauma, chronic conditions, relationship stress, or end-of-life concerns, and I provide a calm, affirming space where all of your feelings are welcome.
I’m a bilingual (Spanish/English) Latinx Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over seven years of clinical experience, including three years practicing under a limited permit and four years as an independently licensed clinician. I offer a safe, inclusive, and culturally responsive space for healing and growth.
I provide therapy for adolescents, adults, and older adults, supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and life transitions. Whether you’re processing past experiences or seeking to build healthier patterns in the present, my goal is to meet you where you are—with empathy, respect, and collaboration.
If you have been carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or the weight of a life in
transition, you do not have to keep doing it alone. I'm Jennifer, a licensed clinical social
worker with a background in mental health, crisis, and substance use settings. I am trauma-
informed and trained in Progressive Counting, a focused evidence-based approach for
working through difficult experiences. My goal is to offer a genuinely supportive,
nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
If that sounds like what you are looking for, I would love to connect.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to be heard and seen. I believe that mental health is often overlooked and a lower priority when it comes to health and I believe it is important to challenge that belief and bring attention to what is affecting us mentally and emotionally. Throughout my experience I have worked with a range of clients, from children to older adults, working with clients struggling with depression and anxiety to OCD and Bipolar Disorder. Everyone should have the opportunity to get the help they need and I hope that working together we will be able to identify and work towards building a life that is best for you!
I specialize in holistic and medication free approach to psychotherapy using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help minimize and relieve symptoms of anxiety, chronic insomnia, grief, family issues, stress related to work.
