Starting therapy can feel intimidating-but you don't have to go through it alone. I'm here to walk alongside you as we explore your experiences, your story, and the ways they've shaped who you are. This process can be challenging at times, but I aim to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and safe enough to show up as your true self.

As an Asian American therapist and having grown up navigating two different cultures, I value the role that culture and identity play in shaping our experiences, I welcome clients from all backgrounds and aim to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood.

I believe that you are the expert of your own story. I'm here to help you in making sense of your experiences, deepening your self-understanding, and navigating challenges with greater clarity and confidence. Building a therapeuti relationship based on trust, respect, and authenticity is the core of my work-and I'm committed to showing up for you.

Hi, my name is Dr. Mark Aghakhan and I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in a variety of therapeutic, educative, consultative, and evaluative services. I utilize interventions that best match my client’s style and approach toward everyday challenges.

Have you experienced something difficult in your past that still affects the way you think, feel, or relate to yourself and others? Maybe you know what happened wasn’t your fault, but you still struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationships, or feeling stuck. You don’t have to navigate that alone. I’m John Paul Kretkowski, a LMHC in NY & LCMHC in NC. I specialize in helping adults with trauma who are ready to actively work through what they’ve experienced. I believe therapy is a place where you should feel understood, but also where you can grow.

I have 13 years of experience as an inpatient psychiatric NP at Northwell Health.

I am a psychotherapist who specializes in working with adolescents and adults. I help people suffering from a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, addiction such as drugs/alcohol and gambling. I use a strength based, person centered approach in order to guide clients through the discomfort, pain and dissatisfaction that life can sometimes bring. I work in partnership with clients in order to help them achieve growth and increased satisfaction in their daily lives.

I enjoy working with all different types of people, helping them identify their strengths and develop coping skills and strategies to help improve their lives. I utilize components of CBT and psychodynamic psychotherapy in my practice, and work collaboratively with individuals during therapy.

I am an empathetic and warm person who cares deeply about helping my clients. It is my goal to create a judgement-free space where you feel open and safe to express yourself and be free. Together, we can create genuine personal growth.

My passion for working with trauma survivors is deeply personal and rooted in my own experiences. Having navigated my own journey of healing and growth, I understand how difficult it can be to move through painful experiences and find a sense of safety, connection, and hope again.

These experiences have shaped the way I support my clients with compassion, empathy, and without judgment. I believe healing is a deeply personal process, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward at their own pace.

I have experience supporting children, teens, and adults who have experienced trauma and adversity. I truly believe healing trauma is not just about changing how you think, it is about helping your nervous system feel safe again. I utilize the framework of Polyvagal Theory to understand your unique nervous system and ensure your body feels safe throughout the healing process. I also have training in other therapeutic modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), somatic therapy, and parts-informed approaches.
