I am an experienced trauma therapist and clinical counselor, trained in EMDR for treating trauma and other concerns. I have worked with clients presenting a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, domestic violence, sexual trauma, relationship turmoil, family issues, and much more.
You've been carrying a lot — and you've probably been doing it alone for longer than
you'd like to admit. Maybe it's anxiety that follows you into every room, grief that
never fully lifted, the exhaustion of new motherhood, or trauma that keeps finding its
way back. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to untangle it by yourself.
I'm Rita Sionova, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience
working with adults, adolescents, and families across New York. I specialize in
trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, maternal mental health, and the kind of life
transitions that reshape everything you thought you knew about yourself. My
background spans healthcare, legal, and educational settings — which means I
understand the full weight of the real-world pressures, not just the clinical picture.
I offer therapy in both English and Russian, and I provide culturally responsive
care for clients navigating immigrant experiences, generational patterns, and the
particular challenges that come with living between two worlds. All sessions are via
tele-health, available to clients across New York State.
I view therapy as a collaborative process where clients are invited to make sense of their experiences in a way that feels authentic to them. Rather than directing the process, I focus on creating a supportive environment where individuals can speak openly, reflect at their own pace, and gain insight into their thoughts and emotions. In the midst of busy and often overwhelming daily life, having intentional time to pause and look inward can be a powerful part of personal growth.
Creating room for reflection can open the door to new perspectives and a deeper awareness of internal experiences. As clients begin to better understand their emotional responses and patterns, they often find greater clarity in how they relate to themselves and others. This increased awareness can support more intentional decision-making and help guide the next steps in their personal growth.
Life doesn't always go as planned. Sometimes illness, loss, or an unexpected transition can leave you feeling like a stranger to yourself. These experiences are more common than they appear, especially when you're someone who looks like they're holding it together on the outside while quietly carrying something heavy within. You don't have to carry it alone.
Hi, I'm Dr. William Yu, a board-certified psychiatrist with over 15 years of experience providing medication management and psychotherapy for adults and adolescents. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, and life transitions.
