Hello and welcome. I’m Shakis Farmer, and for more than ten years I’ve supported children, adults, and families in both schools and the community. Taking the step toward therapy shows strength, and I’m honored to be part of your journey. I believe everyone deserves a space where they can feel safe, valued, and truly heard. Life’s challenges can leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed, but growth becomes possible when we have the right tools and support. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you uncover solutions, restore balance, and reconnect with the strengths you already carry within you. You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Together, we can create a path forward that feels empowering and meaningful.

Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate and practical. I focus on helping clients feel emotionally safe, heard, and empowered throughout the healing process. We don’t just talk about problems, we work towards solutions. I utilize evidence-based techniques to help clients develop healthy coping skills, gain insight, and create lasting change. Together, we will work toward helping you feel more confident, balanced, and emotionally well. We are also able to incorporate Christian or faith-based counseling for clients who desire to include their faith as an important part of the therapeutic process. I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where you can reflect, and grow. I work with individuals, couples, and teens dealing with a wide range of situational stressors. We’ll identify your strengths, build on your skills, and develop effective coping and calming strategies. Through this process, you can gain deeper understanding, foster resilience, and renew a sense of empowerment. I also offer Christian/Faith Based counseling with over 12 years of professional experience.

I'm passionate about helping adults navigate life's challenges while creating space for healing, growth, and self-discovery.

I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each client's needs and believe therapy should leave you with both insight and practical tools you can use in everyday life. I am Haitian American and speak Haitian Creole. My faith is an important part of who I am and has shaped my values of compassion, grace, and service. At the same time, I welcome and affirm people from all backgrounds, beliefs, identities, and walks of life. Outside of therapy, I enjoy music, spending time with my dogs, traveling, and connecting with family and friends. My goal is to help clients feel supported, empowered, and confident as they work toward meaningful and lasting change.

I love working with clients in the here-and-now, and finding solutions to move forward with life. My primary goal is to help you help yourself. I will guide and coach you, not tell you what to do.

Hi, I'm Anabel. I work with young adults who are ready to grow: leveling up how you communicate, setting boundaries that stick, building self-worth, and learning to manage your emotions instead of getting hijacked by them.

Picture relationships built on honesty and respect, including with yourself. If that sounds like what you're going for, let's connect!

My name is Shavone Marie Williams-Moss, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I entered the field of social work largely because of my family background; I was raised by a single father while my mother struggled with substance abuse and mental health issues and could not perform her role as a parent. One day as an adult in my 20's, I saw my mother sitting on a bench on the main street in Kentucky. I welcomed her into my home only to discover she not only suffered from homelessness but bipolar disorder, major depression, and substance abuse. My mother lived with me for a year, after which she passed away. This situation made me wonder, what if, in her younger years, she would have met someone who was supportive, understanding, kind, selfless, and invested in helping her be the best version of her, she could be. It was then that I decided to enter the Social Work Field. I wanted to provide help to those who could not help themselves and aid to those in need.

Hey there! I’m Craig Lampkin, and I’m thrilled to be a native New Yorker. I became a marriage and family therapist because I’m passionate about hearing people’s stories and helping them through their journeys. My journey started at the Fiorello H.

Together, these approaches work wonderfully to boost your well-being and personal growth. Let’s embark on this journey together!
