Hello, I’m Vincent. I am a Licensed Psychoanalyst/Psychotherapist (LP) with a private practice in Manhattan, offering both in-person and telehealth sessions. I bring my own lived experiences and cultural attunement into the room to build a deeply trusting and authentic therapeutic alliance with my clients.
Hello, I’m Sydney Lerner, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. I offer therapy in Midtown Manhattan and virtually across the state. I work with teens and young adults navigating OCD, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and family dynamics. My approach is relational and psychodynamic, exploring how past and present relationships shape emotions and patterns. For clients who have completed OCD treatment in the past, I also integrate ERP knowledge to support long-term growth. I earned my BA from Johns Hopkins, my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern, and completed a year-long psychodynamic training at the National Institute of the Psychotherapies.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychoanalyst in the Flatiron District of New York who specializes in anxiety, depression, life transitions, complex trauma, women's issues, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I enjoy working with adults of all ages who seek to understand and overcome self-defeating patterns, access inner resources and strengths, and connect to a deeper sense of self.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental presence. I work collaboratively and at a reflective pace, creating a space where you can explore emotions and creativity without pressure to perform or “get it right.” Music is always an invitation, not a requirement. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more connected to yourself.
As an experienced psychotherapist, I believe that an empathic approach creates an environment, in which, trust and curiosity can flourished, facilitating the adjustment to an already difficult process. The relationship between psychotherapist and patient constitutes an important tool, in the understanding of patient's past and present behaviors.
Great to meet you!
My name is Haydee Cerezo and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am a trained psychotherapist with specialization in treatment for depression, anxiety, grief/loss and life transitions. With 20 years of experience, I understand that seeking help can be challenging and takes courage. Congratulations on taking the first step. Prioritizing one's mental health can lead to a happier and stable life.
I utilize a multi-theoretical basis for all my clients. For my practice, trust, warmth and communication are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I have a specialty in child/adolescent/family issues. However, I see many young adults who have issues feeling at ease and confident in their relationships and workplace. I endeavor to lift my clients out of the dark place that may be weighing them down to finding the solutions that will enable them to live freely.
