Hi, I'm Amanda! I'm a licensed clinical therapist with over four years of experience providing trauma-informed psychotherapy. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I often work with people experiencing PTSD/C-PTSD, dissociative disorders, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Many of my clients are also folks who have spent a long time feeling different, overwhelmed, or stuck in self-criticism. I aim to provide a warm, affirming space where you can feel authentically yourself.

Welcome to Radiant Mind Psychiatry! My name is Liandra and I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 3 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care across the lifespan. I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, autism spectrum disorder, dementia, and a variety of child, adolescent, and adult mental health conditions.

In addition to medication management, I provide supportive therapy and incorporate evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help patients develop coping skills, improve emotional well-being, and achieve lasting progress.

I provide care for children (ages 6 and older), adolescents, adults, and older adults. All appointments are conducted virtually, offering convenient and accessible mental health care from the comfort and privacy of your own home.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood changes, life transitions, or behavioral concerns, I am committed to helping you navigate challenges and move toward improved mental health and overall wellness.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes people thrive when therapy feels personal, collaborative, and rooted in what truly matters to them. My work centers on helping clients build agency, strengthen resilience, and make meaningful changes in their lives.

I’ve worked in community clinics and LGBTQ‐affirming organizations with clients of all ages. I specialize in working with teens, college students, and adults facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and identity‐related concerns, including self‐esteem, self‐acceptance, and gender dysphoria. I strive to offer a steady, supportive environment where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered to move forward.

People say I'm easy to talk to. Here's a little bit about me. I received my graduate degree from NYU and have completed extensive post-graduate training in the treatment of mental health and addiction disorders. Why work with me? I'm a seasoned clinician who has supervised graduate-level Psychology and Mental Health Counseling students from Universities on Long Island and NYC. I'm passionate about the work we'll do together and am excited to join you on your journey.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and a strong therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful progress and lasting change. My approach is grounded in a strengths-based, client-centered perspective that supports each person’s capacity for growth and self-understanding. I strive to create a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Whether you are navigating life transitions, managing stress, or seeking greater self-awareness, therapy can provide a space for reflection, healing, and meaningful change.

Hi, I’m Nikki — owner of Dragonfly Haven Wellness LCSW PLLC. I’m looking forward to starting our work together.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University, earned in 2003. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, adults, and families through life’s challenges in both outpatient and school-based mental health settings.

I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My approach is warm and collaborative, while also helping to point out connections to support your growth. I draw from a blend of psychodynamic therapy, relational approaches, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and Encompass co-occurring treatment to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change.

I’ve recently completed a certified integrative mental health provider course and somatic technique training to focus more on body-based approaches alongside traditional talk therapy to support healing as a whole-person process.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are and knowing that I am here to work alongside you as you move towards change.

I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trying to make sense of themselves during stressful or transitional periods of life. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, burnout, work-related stress, or the emotional toll of caring for others. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and able to approach challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

I have particular experience working with young adults, young professionals, healthcare workers, first responders, and men—especially those who may be new to therapy or unsure where to start. Through my work across emergency, outpatient, residential, and telehealth settings, I’ve supported individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life circumstances. This has shaped me into a flexible and adaptable clinician who is comfortable meeting clients where they are.

I believe therapy should be both a safe place to land and a space that inspires meaningful change. As an art and talk therapist, I offer a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, emotions, and patterns with honesty and curiosity.

I integrate creative expression with traditional psychotherapy, recognizing that sometimes words alone are not enough. Through art-making, reflection, and conversation, I help clients deepen their self-understanding, process difficult experiences, and connect with strengths they may not yet fully recognize.

Hello - a bit unconventional for an opener but, I'm not trying to be your therapist forever. I'm trying to help you get to a place where you don't need me anymoreI I like to think of it as therapy with an endgame. I don't believe therapy should become a permanent fixture in your life. I want you to get something real out of our time together: more clarity, healthier relationships, better coping skills, and the confidence to handle life on on your own. Expect warmth, honesty, some tough questions, and the occasional nudge outside your comfort zone, and maybe a laugh or two as well. The goal? For you to need me less, not more.
