I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and families.

My professional background includes providing therapy in private practice, school, home, and community-based settings.

I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful and lasting change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in New York and Vermont, with more than eight years of experience. I work with women and adults in their 20s through 40s who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. When life feels overwhelming, therapy can offer space to slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can be open and honest.

I’m Paige Allegra Blayne, a therapist who believes that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, OCD, ADHD, depression, relationship challenges, identity exploration, eating disorders, or life transitions, I strive to create a warm and supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals recovering from trauma, and those facing challenges related to body image, infertility, substance use, and women’s mental health. My practice is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and the belief that meaningful change happens when you feel safe enough to explore every part of yourself without judgment.

My goal is to walk alongside you as you build resilience, reconnect with your strengths, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

Hi, I'm Amanda! I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) 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.

Hello, and welcome. Deciding to start therapy is a meaningful step, and finding the right fit is essential to your journey.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nassau County, Long Island. Over the years, my professional background has been rooted in supporting individuals through life's transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth.

I graduated from Columbia University with a Master’s of Science Degree in Clinical Practice of Social Work. I found my niche after completing undergraduate in Early Childhood Education (kudos to our teachers!) and Sociology/Psychology. These experiences paved the way to my clinical social work journey. I obtained clinical licensure by working with adolescents in both school and therapeutic settings, foster/adoptive families, and adults with serious persistent mental illness.

Hello and welcome! I'm glad you're here!

My name is Jennifer. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree from Columbia University School of Social Work, and I’ve been supporting clients since 2015. Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with youth, families, and caregivers in the New York City school system, helping them navigate a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

Working in schools has really shaped how I approach therapy. It’s taught me how to collaborate within multidisciplinary teams and support clients across different systems. It’s also given me the time and space to truly get to know each person and adjust treatment along the way, so we can find what actually works best for you and not just what looks good on paper.

On a personal note, I’m the oldest of three and a parent, so I understand how heavy expectations can feel whether they come from family, society, relationships, or from within. I bring that understanding into my work, meeting you with empathy, honesty, and a genuine respect for what you’re carrying.

I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration, discovery, and healing. By utilizing unconditional positive acceptance, my goal is to help clients add to their social and emotional knowledge so they can navigate through difficulties in ways that foster self-esteem, well-being, and growth.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and have been in practice for over 10 years. I became a therapist because I know firsthand how helpful it can be to have a dedicated time and space to focus on our emotional well-being. Talking to an unbiased party can help us feel supported, heard, and see things from a new perspective. Most importantly, therapy offers a space to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors without judgment.

I recognize how challenging it can be to find the time and energy to start therapy and to sort through profiles to find the right fit. There are many providers, especially in New York, so it can feel a little daunting! What I will say is that no matter your background and no matter your concerns, I will be invested in you and your goals.

Some of my areas of interest include perinatal and postpartum mental health (I am a parent myself!), LGBTQ+ mental health, relationships (romantic or otherwise), transitions including career/school, anxiety, and depression.
