Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in New York

Hello, and welcome. I’m truly glad you’re here and taking this meaningful step toward healing and growth. Life is a journey—while there are moments we can walk alone, there are also times when we benefit from having someone beside us to provide support, perspective, and encouragement. As your culturally competent therapist, I’m here to walk alongside you and help you move toward a more joyful, fulfilling, and empowered life.

Welcome! I’m Becky, and I’m here to partner with you in achieving your mental health goals. My practice is grounded in honesty, empathy, and evidence-based care. Navigating mental healthcare should feel clear and supportive, not overwhelming. I prioritize a personalized approach where your voice is heard, your experiences are respected, and you have full ownership over your journey to well-being.

Hi there!

I am a licensed psychotherapist with diagnostic privilege, providing a holistic person first approach. I deeply care about humans and particularly serving the under served, and BI-POC communities. As an Afro-Indigenous / West Indian woman, I understand the vitality of intersectionality and connection to culture in mental health settings. My specific area of expertise is Forensic Mental Health Counseling with an Advanced Certificate in Victimology Studies, and having directly worked alongside individuals who have experienced: domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, sex and labor trafficking, hate crimes, and other forms of interpersonal violence. I have worked with a wide range of populations from youth, young adults, adults, and seniors. The main population I served for the last 6 years has been marginalized individuals with SMI/SPMI [serious mental illness] in homeless services including street homeless outreach, shelter, and supportive housing. I specialize in supporting those with PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use, and other dysregulated / self destructive behaviors.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with Diagnostic Privilege, a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and an Advanced Certificate in Child & Family Advocacy. Since 2021, I’ve worked with individuals, couples, and families from a solution-focused, narrative, and systemic lens.

I believe our mental health is deeply shaped by the relationships and support systems around us. In therapy, we’ll work together to build on your strengths, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful progress toward your goals.

You are the expert in your own life, and I see therapy as a collaborative space centered on your needs. Whether you’re facing stress, relationship challenges, family concerns, or life transitions, I’m here to support you with warmth, curiosity, and practical tools for change.

I have nearly a decade of experience working with a variety of individuals with many backgrounds. I emphasize the importance of a trauma-informed and supportive approach. I have expertise in treating a number of diagnoses, including ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and trauma. I offer a number of modalities, including CBT, MI, DBT, EMDR and IFS.

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here!

My name is Chaim, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I provide trauma-informed therapy for adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma (C-PTSD), low self-esteem, confidence concerns, and relationship challenges.

My approach combines evidence-based care with warmth, curiosity, and compassion.

As a client, you might consider exploring the experiences and patterns that contribute to your struggles while building practical tools to support emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and meaningful change.

I bring a multicultural perspective to my work and strive to offer an affirming, respectful space for people of diverse cultures, identities, and life experiences. Therapy is tailored to your individual needs, values, strengths, and goals—whether you are seeking support independently or as a couple.

You may be healing from painful experiences, feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, navigating relationship conflict, or hoping to reconnect with your confidence and sense of self. You do not have to face it alone.

My goal is to help you move beyond survival and coping toward greater resilience, self-understanding, and a life that feels more authentic, connected, and fulfilling.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner specializing in medication management and psychiatric evaluations. As an ER nurse for 15 years in the Psychiatric emergency department and spending the first half of my Nurse practitioner career on an inpatient psychiatric unit before going to outpatient, I have been there with people and helped them through their roughest days. Through medication managed crisis intervention work in these areas, I have learned to support your journey through medication stabilization, a lot of humor about the triggers and stressors life gives us and foundational guidance.

As a graduate of New York University with over 25 years of therapeutic support of children, adolescents and young adults in the foster care, psychiatric, educational and substance abuse settings, I provide a compassionate and accepting approach to our time together. As a married mother of adult children, as well as one with Christian values, I am attuned to those who are challenged with life's transitions and struggles who could use support during those changing seasons of life.
