Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Yonkers, NY

I came to therapy from teaching, and that background shapes how I show up: I'm used to adapting to who's in front of me, reading what's unsaid, and finding an approach that actually fits the person — not just the presenting concern.

I work with adolescents and adults on trauma, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, panic, maternal mental health, grief, and family stress. EMDR is a core part of my practice — particularly for clients whose past experiences still affect how they feel and function today, even when they'd rather they didn't.

I keep a small, intentional caseload. If you'd like to see if we're a good fit, I offer a free phone consultation before we commit to anything.

I have been in practice for the last 5 years primarily in the intensive outpatient setting. I offer a safe, compassionate space where your story is heard and respected. Together, we’ll work toward understanding your experiences, building coping skills, and creating meaningful change.

I've been practicing clinical social work for 46 years — and teaching it for much of that time. That depth of experience shapes everything about how I work: I'm confident, direct, and genuinely excited by the process of helping people change.

My specialty is short-term, goal-oriented therapy. I believe that focused, intentional work — done well — can produce lasting results without requiring a years-long commitment. Sessions are active. There's homework. We practice things in the room and then use real life to reinforce them.

I work with children (age 6+), adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, grief, maternal mental health, and relationship stress. If you're ready to do real work and see real movement, I'd be glad to hear from you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 10 years of experience supporting individuals and couples in both private practice and clinical settings. I am passionate about helping clients navigate life's challenges, strengthen emotional well-being, and build meaningful, lasting change.

I have worked in the field of psychology for over 25 years and hold two Master’s degrees as well as a PhD in Neuropsychology. I provide psychotherapy for individuals across the lifespan and specialize in the treatment of mood disorders, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

I also work with individuals who are navigating major life stressors such as divorce, career transitions, and other significant changes. In addition, I help clients address concerns related to anger management, chronic stress, and the psychological impact of health issues.

My goal is to support clients in developing effective coping strategies, gaining insight, and making meaningful changes that improve their overall well-being and quality of life.

EMPATHIC CARE that adapts to your FEELINGS...Built around your needs and lived experience. Using evidence-based medicine and clinical judgment. If you don't see a time that works for you on my schedule, please send me a message and I'll do my best to accommodate your availability.

As a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) with 17 years of hands-on experience, I've had the privilege of guiding countless individuals through life's toughest moments, helping them rediscover their inner strength and joy. I graduated from Adelphi University in 2007, where I honed my skills in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, but what truly sets me apart is my deep commitment to seeing each client as a unique person with their own story, dreams, and potential. My practice is built on a foundation of empathy, integrity, and genuine care — I don't just listen; I truly hear you, validating your experiences without judgment. Over the years, I've supported people from all walks of life, whether they're navigating the fog of anxiety, the weight of grief, or the complexities of relationships, always tailoring my approach to what resonates most with you. Clients often tell me they feel an immediate sense of relief knowing they're in a space where vulnerability is met with compassion and expertise. I'm passionate about holistic well-being, incorporating mind-body connections and practical strategies that extend beyond the session room into your daily life. What drives me? Witnessing those transformative "aha" moments when someone realizes they have the power to shape their future. If you're ready to invest in yourself and explore how therapy can unlock a more empowered, fulfilling path, I invite you to reach out — let's start this journey together and see how far you can go.

I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, understood, and supported. With more than 20 years of experience in mental health, community healthcare, education, and non-profit settings, I've had the privilege of walking alongside adolescents, adults, and families through life's most challenging moments. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a warm, compassionate, and culturally responsive environment where you can show up as your authentic self. My goal is to help you build on your strengths, deepen self-awareness, and move toward a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.

I graduated from NYU in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness and am finalizing my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Pace University. I have experience working at mental health clinics, schools, and outpatient settings. I support children, teens, adults, and families with trauma, attachment needs, mood concerns, acculturation stress, and relationship challenges.

I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy.

My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.

I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.

I take a holistic and evidence-based approach to therapy, blending techniques from CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, relational, EMDR and mindfulness to create a personalized plan that aligns with your needs and goals.Healing begins with a strong therapeutic relationship and a deep understanding of your story. Together, we will work collaboratively to foster growth, insight, and meaningful change.

I also offer Emdr intensives on a private pay basis - feel free to inquire about insurance options
