I am an Afro-Latina psychotherapist, with 8+ years of experience, specializing in treating complex trauma, anxiety, and depression. I've worked with folx of all ages, from children to older adults, each with their own unique experiences.

Whether you are feeling down, depleted, or in pain; if you’re wondering whether you are good enough, or having difficulties finding the motivation to start your day, psychotherapy is an effective way of rediscovering yourself. It allows you to get to the root of your symptoms and find the answers you are looking for in order to create a more fulfilling sense of self. As individuals, we all experience depression, anxiety, trauma in our lives, often more than once. You do not have to go through these issues alone.

Whether you are experiencing difficulties as an individual, with friends, family members, or your partner, Cecilia Bichara, LCSW uses a combination of psychodynamic practices that are individually tailored to meet your needs. She provides individual, couple, and family therapy in a safe nonjudgmental space and can help you in this very personal journey.

Todos pasamos por momentos difíciles de depresión, ansiedad, trauma y más de una vez, los cuales causan angustias, baja autoestima, y afecta nuestra percepción del mundo, de los demás, y de nosotros mismos. Con mi experiencia en terapia individual,de pareja y familiar en un ambiente de aceptación y confidencialidad, puedo ayudarlo/a en este proceso personal.

I am a warm, grounded therapist who prioritizes emotional safety while building genuine rapport. Once trust is established, I thoughtfully challenge clients in ways that promote insight and growth without undermining that sense of security. I allow glimpses of my own humanity, which helps clients feel understood while still maintaining clear professional boundaries. Overall, my style reflects a balance of compassion, depth, and seasoned clinical judgment.

I'm Claudia, a bilingual faith-based LMHC with 11 years of experience helping adults move through anxiety, depression, panic, and the weight of unprocessed trauma. As a therapist fluent in English and Spanish, I welcome all clients ready to engage in the journey of healing.

I've worked with people navigating immigration stress, family pressure, generational trauma, grief, and burnout — often all at once. My approach is faith-centric, compassionate and culturally grounded. I'm here to walk with you through this time, understand what you're carrying and help you figure out what to do with it. I'm not here to simply hand you worksheets and generic advice.

I see clients via telehealth throughout New York, so wherever you are in the state, support is accessible.

My aim is to create a warm, judgement free, safe space for you to understand yourself better. I see therapy as a journey between two people. At times the journey can feel daunting, overwhelming, and challenging, and I am here to help make the burden a little easier to bear. I work with individuals of all backgrounds and of various ages, coping with trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal and relationship struggles, work stress, stage of life transitions, and more. I have been on my own therapy journey too, so I understand what it is like to be on the "other side" of the room. I aim to use my own experience in therapy to bring empathy and compassion to your therapy journey.

I work with high-functioning women — professionals, caregivers, high-achievers, first-generation successes — who've spent years being the strong one, the reliable one, the one everyone else leans on. You don't have to be in crisis to belong here; many of the women I work with are functioning exceptionally well by every external measure, which is exactly why the internal cost so often goes unseen, even by themselves. I understand that perfectionism, chronic self-doubt, difficulty resting, and over-responsibility for other people's feelings aren't individual defects — they're adaptive responses to systems that taught you your worth was conditional on your output. If you've been in therapy before and left feeling like the goal was to help you cope with your life rather than question the parts of it that aren't working, I offer something different. I'm not here to help you perform wellness more efficiently. I'm here to help you gain insight into what shaped you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I’m glad you’re here! Therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can exhale and feel understood. Together, we’ll move at your pace and focus on tools and insights that help you feel more grounded, connected, and like yourself again. My main focus is female clients ages 15-30 who are struggling with anxiety and depression.

I believe that true healing happens when clinical competence meets genuine human warmth. Throughout my two decades of practice, I have remained dedicated to providing evidence-based, compassionate care that helps clients thrive in their personal lives and their relationships.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I received my Master's from Syracuse University and my Bachelor's from Houghton University. In undergrad, my focus was on developmental and social psychology with a minor in family studies. My post-graduate experience and training include therapeutic treatment with individuals, parent-child relationships, adolescents, couples, marriage, and whole families. Beyond the therapy room, I have worked with addiction for over 17 years and severe persistent mental illnesses for 3 years. Today I focus on treating mental health issues - whether with couples and marriages, families, or individuals - from a relational lens.

I am a LCSW in practice over 15 years. I believe therapy should feel like a supportive, collaborative space. I work with individuals who want to better understand themselves, build confidence, and develop tools to navigate life's challenges. My goal is to help you feel empowered, heard and supported as you move towards meaningful change.
