Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying the weight of anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or past experiences on your own. My goal is to provide a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and reconnect with yourself. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I'm passionate about helping women navigate life's transitions, heal from emotional wounds, and build lives that feel more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling. I believe therapy is more than talking through problems—it's an opportunity to better understand yourself, strengthen your resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change, rather than simply managing symptoms. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck and develop practical tools to support your overall well-being. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique experiences. I'm here to walk alongside you as you rediscover your authentic self, and create a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.

Hi! I'm Spencer, a social worker and certified alcohol and substance use counselor based in Brooklyn. I've been working in mental health and addiction since 2021. I've been a social worker in all sorts of environments with all sorts of clients and patients: residential, outpatient, inpatient, hospital, community clinic, private practice; adolescents, adults, geriatrics- you name it, I've worked it! This variety of exposure and experiences has given me some insight into all of the different issues that can bother us, and all the ways we can handle those issues. I've learned about the broad ranges of feelings we feel, and how to cope with those feelings in productive ways. I've also learned about how we can come to rely on unhealthy coping skills, and ways to transition into more positive and safer skills.

Hi, I’m Josh Burke, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy across, Colorado, New York and Vermont. I’ve spent over 12 years working with individuals navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and major life transitions. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. Because of that, I place a strong emphasis on building a genuine, trusting relationship from the start—one where you feel supported, understood, and able to be honest about what you’re going through. My approach is both relational and goal-oriented. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which means we won’t just talk about what’s wrong—we’ll also focus on what matters to you and how to move toward it in practical, meaningful ways. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or navigating a significant transition, our work will center on helping you better understand your experience, develop new ways of responding to stress, and take steps toward the life you want to live. I tailor therapy to each person, recognizing that no two paths forward look the same. I believe change is possible—even when things feel difficult—and I aim to walk alongside you in a way that feels collaborative, grounded, and forward-moving.

"I will look for the flowers by the side of the road; I will laugh and love and be strong. I will try to lighten another’s load this day as I fare along". --MARY S. EDGAR My name is Jen and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Clinical Trauma Professional. I would love to work alongside you as your therapist. I have 20 years of experience providing both mental health and addictions therapy to individuals, couples, families, and groups. My Master’s degree is in Community Mental Health Counseling, Addictions Counseling, and Marriage and Family Therapy (2009), and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Family Studies (2006). I've worked in in Telehealth, community mental health, schools, shelters, and private practices. Since becoming a counselor, clients, such as yourself, have come to me for a lot of different things, including trauma (particularly in the areas of childhood abuse, domestic violence, religious trauma, and first responder and military trauma), LGBTQ+ issues, personality disorders, family and social relationships, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. Currently, I work with women and nonbinary clients with a history of trauma and abuse, sexual trauma, eating disorders, and military veterans and their partners. In particular, a lot of my clients with a history of trauma come to process this in treatment; however, trauma doesn't necessary have to be their main focus of therapy. Personally, I have always enjoyed my job as a therapist. It has been good to see change in my clients regardless if they see their change as little or big. Watching growth in the people I work with truly makes my work worth it. After work, I enjoy being outside, watching sports (especially basketball), being at a beach, reading, binge watching TV series, and spending time with my family.

I am a native New Yorker and a graduate of Fordham University’s School of Social Work.I have decades of experience working with diverse populations. I bring a wealth of knowledge, insight, and clinical depth to my practice. Throughout my career, I have found this work to be deeply rewarding, with my role as a therapist being the most meaningful. I am honored to provide a safe, compassionate space where clients can engage in soul-searching, experience moments of epiphany, feel validated, and gain greater self-understanding. I believe that meaningful growth happens when clients are met where they are, with empathy and respect, and I work diligently to support that process. Central to my practice is the importance of self-care, which I actively embrace and practice weekly. I view self-care as essential—not optional—and it is a cornerstone of the conversations and work I share with clients. Outside of my professional life, I am a proud parent of two children, both graduates of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, who have successfully launched into their own independent lives.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably carrying something heavy — and you may have been carrying it longer than you should have had to. I’m glad you’re here. I’m an LMFT licensed in both New York and New Jersey, and I work with adults who are navigating some of life’s most emotionally demanding seasons: parenting stress, relationship strain, depression, ADHD, and the kind of high-functioning exhaustion that doesn’t always look like struggle from the outside but absolutely feels like it. My approach is relational at its core. I believe that healing rarely happens in isolation — it happens in connection. Before any technique or homework assignment, I prioritize building a therapeutic relationship where you actually feel safe enough to be honest. That foundation isn’t just good therapy etiquette; it’s what makes everything else possible. From there, I draw on a range of evidence-based frameworks — attachment theory, CBT, DBT, and person-centered approaches — tailoring the work to what you specifically need rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Some clients need tools and structure. Others need space to process and be witnessed. Most need both, at different moments. I’ve worked with many people who came to therapy after putting it off for a long time — sometimes years. What kept them away was often fear: fear of judgment, fear of being misunderstood, or simply not knowing what therapy was supposed to feel like. I take that seriously. My goal from the very first session is to help you feel less alone in what you’re facing, and more capable of moving through it. You don’t have to have it figured out before you reach out. That’s what we’re here to do together.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, high expectations, life transitions, and the desire to create more balance and ease. My approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities—CBT, DBT, EMDR, MI, and narrative therapy—always tailored to your unique strengths and pace. In our sessions, you can expect a grounded, compassionate space where we identify clear goals, build practical tools, and create momentum toward the life you want. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or simply ready for growth, I’m here to help you move forward with confidence and clarity. Let’s get started when you’re ready.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist working with adults who may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally unsettled beneath the surface. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, self-doubt, or persistent patterns they can’t quite untangle on their own. My style is thoughtful, steady, and insight-oriented. I integrate practical tools for emotional regulation with deeper exploration of relational patterns and attachment dynamics. I believe therapy should feel both grounding and meaningful — a place where you can slow down, understand yourself more clearly, and begin shifting patterns that no longer serve you. Clients often describe me as calm, direct, and attuned. I aim to create a space that feels safe enough for honesty and structured enough for real change. My work focuses not only on reducing symptoms, but on building emotional clarity, stability, and more secure ways of relating — to others and to yourself.

I’m a therapist committed to creating a space where you feel seen, supported, and able to show up as your full self. I understand that life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when you’re balancing responsibilities, navigating relationships, or managing stress that others may not always see. My goal is to provide a space where you can slow down, process your experiences, and begin to feel more grounded and in control. I use a collaborative and client-centered approach, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support both insight and meaningful change. Whether we’re identifying unhelpful patterns or working through past experiences that still feel present, I aim to meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels right for you. My background in public health and community-based work allows me to understand how personal experiences are often shaped by larger systems and environments. I value culturally responsive care and strive to create an inclusive space where all aspects of your identity are respected. Therapy with me is a space for growth, healing, and building practical tools you can carry into your everyday life.
