I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. I graduated from the Silver School of Social Work at New York University and have been in this field for 7 years. I help clients process childhood trauma, traumatic-based symptoms and experiences. I also help clients who are experiencing challenges grief, with life transitions, depressive-symptoms, and anxiety-related symptoms.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will begin with reviewing intake information, safety, confidentiality and brief introductions. We will discuss the expectations and framework (telehealth, frequency, timeliness, participation, fee) of therapy sessions. Clients can expect to discuss what led them to seek therapy and what they hope to get out of treatment. We will create goals to work towards in future sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Through my experience of providing therapy, the therapeautic relationship and creating a space where a client feels safe is of the upmost importance. I am compassionate, non-judgmental, and work at the clients’ pace.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with clients who are committed to understanding their subconscious and unconscious mind, especially during the most challenging times in treatment. Clients are aware that change takes time and are committed to the journey of learning about themselves.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy is the primary modality I use in treatment. Utilizing psychodynamic techniques, I help clients examine patterns, emotions, relationship dynamics, and childhood experiences to understand current behaviors, thoughts, and other mental processes.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I utilize CPT to to address trauma symptoms that may be getting in the way of fully participating in psychodynamic therapy.

I had a lot of "gunk" on my heart and mind. Teshera is helping me think of why I see it as gunk, should I see it as gunk, and if so should I clean it up for myself? I feel more stable after our talks, even when I have to realize some hard truths about myself. I don't walk away feeling judged. I walk away feeling like I can see my opportunities to change. I can't begin to describe how freeing that is. I'm so glad I went back to therapy. THANK YOU TESHERA!!!
