I am a clinician with several years of experience in addiction, depression, grief, bereavement, ACOA issues.

I truly believe that in some cases laughter is the best medicine. I accept clients ages 25+.

I’m Paige, an experienced licensed clinical social worker who wants to help you navigate life’s challenges and your journey to self-improvement, manage overwhelming emotions, and foster resilience and growth through evidence-based practices. I aim to support you in cultivating healthier thought patterns and behaviors through cognitive-behavioral techniques, combined with empathy and lived experience.

Hello, and welcome! I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing a wide range of mental health conditions.

My approach to psychiatric care begins with listening. I believe every person has a unique story, and understanding your experiences, concerns, and goals is the foundation of effective treatment. My priority is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your care.

I take a patient-centered, holistic approach, looking beyond symptoms to understand the whole person. Rather than treating diagnoses alone, we will work together to identify what is causing you the most distress and address it one step at a time. I carefully review your psychiatric history, including previous medications, what has or hasn't worked, and any side effects you've experienced, so we can develop a treatment plan that is individualized, practical, and based on the best available evidence.

My treatment philosophy combines medication management with education, supportive therapy, lifestyle recommendations, and collaborative decision-making. I strive to identify the root causes contributing to your symptoms while helping you build lasting coping skills and improve your overall quality of life.

Above all, patient safety, compassion, and collaboration guide every decision I make. My goal is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable asking questions, sharing concerns, and participating in decisions about your care. Together, we'll create a personalized treatment plan that supports your mental wellness and helps you achieve meaningful, lasting progress.

I believe in everyone’s inner strength and ability to self-actualize and achieve their goals given the appropriate tools and support. Therapy is a tool that can help you start your journey in achieving the life you desire. I have 7 years of clinical experience as a social worker. I graduated from Columbia University with a master’s degree in social work and have worked in various settings including hospitals, schools, and universities.

Counseling can feel scary in the beginning but I pride myself on being open, present, and welcoming. If you are ready to take the risk, I would be honored to travel with you on your journey. Armed with extensive training in multiple therapies, I can help you move past the barriers of self doubt and into the life you dream of having. I specialize in working with teenagers and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. As a therapist with years’ of experience, I strive to provide a safe, accepting and non-judgmental space where you will feel seen, heard and whole.

I'm glad you're here, and I want you to know that reaching out takes courage. I support individuals navigating a wide range of concerns — anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Whatever brings you here, my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported.
