Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 20 years building businesses, developing products, leading teams, and working with high-achieving professionals in demanding environments. Today, I bring that perspective into my clinical work, helping clients who may look highly successful on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck on the inside. I understand the pressures that can accompany achievement, including perfectionism, burnout, career transitions, relationship challenges, and the feeling that your external persona no longer matches how you truly feel. My goal is to help clients understand what is keeping them stuck, reconnect with what matters to them, and develop practical strategies to move forward. I work with clients navigating career challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. Whether you are struggling to make a career decision, recovering from a difficult experience, questioning an identity built around achievement, or simply know that something needs to change but aren't sure how to move forward, therapy can provide a space to step back, gain perspective, and create a path forward that feels both meaningful and sustainable.

I believe that therapy is most successful when the therapist-client rapport is strong and grounded in empathy, respect, and understanding. I specialize in helping high-achieving individuals who want to empower themselves to overcome low self-esteem, body image issues, and eating concerns. I also address mood challenges, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I offer high-quality, evidence-based therapy that is tailored to you: a combination of insights, practical tools, and a deeper understanding of your attachment style will be incorporated into your therapy. Because one size does not fit all, your therapy will include consistent check-ins to understand what is working well, which modalities you prefer, and which goals are most important to you.

I help clients struggling with conflict, trauma, and their mental health achieve empowerment, growth and momentum in their lives and goals. Using my education, training and experience as a licensed psychologist and certified life coach, I approach my clients putting a relationship centered intuitive technique and implement a parallel process of healing from the past and taking action in the present. My experience as a psychologist includes over 5000 clinical hours over 5 years, working in 4 schools, a college campus and many clinics as well as my private practice. This experience included 500+ of hours of direct supervision from Doctoral level psychologists, which has helped me refine my craft so I can be the best clinician to support you as I can. As a married man and proud father of two, I tap into my life experience and my personal therapeutic journey to offer my clients the parts of my own map of healing and action that is relevant to them. My personal therapy has made me understand what it is like to sit on the coach and I integrate into my therapy what I liked and weed out what I did not find helpful (i.e. How does that make you feel?). It has also helped me build self awareness and achieve a degree of healing that helps me be able to understand what it means to truly suffer as well as what healing actually looks like. I am an Orthodox Jew and proud man of faith and when my clients have a value system that is aligned with my value system, I integrate religious and spiritual perspectives and practices into the therapeutic space. If they are not aligned, I do not. I enjoy chess, working out, and look forward to buy one get one days at Carvel.

Rita LaBrew, LMFT, licensed in New York and New Jersey, brings extensive experience in foster care, child welfare, private practice, and telehealth. I provide a collaborative, thoughtful therapy experience grounded in clinical expertise and evidence-informed care. Together, we'll work toward greater insight, emotional resilience, and meaningful, lasting change. I work with adults who are ready to move beyond simply managing symptoms and are willing to explore the deeper patterns shaping their lives. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, family-of-origin concerns, life transitions, or longstanding emotional patterns, therapy offers an opportunity to understand not only what you're experiencing, but why. My approach is primarily psychodynamic, integrating psychoeducation to help make complex emotional experiences more understandable and practical. Together, we explore how early relationships, unconscious patterns, protective roles, and present-day experiences influence your emotions, relationships, and decisions. As insight grows, clients often find themselves responding to life's challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and intention. Clients often describe my style as thoughtful, direct, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where curiosity replaces self-criticism, where difficult experiences can be understood without judgment, and where lasting change develops through deeper self-awareness rather than temporary solutions. My practice is best suited for adults seeking ongoing outpatient psychotherapy and is not a fit for higher-acuity or crisis-focused care. I may refer clients whose needs would be better served by a higher level of care, specialized treatment, or services outside my scope of practice. Please note that I do not provide documentation or written support for court, custody, disability, or other legal matters, and my practice is not a fit for individuals seeking therapy primarily for court-related issues. My goal is always to help clients find the care that best meets their needs.

As a social worker therapist grounded in mindfulness theory, my dream client embodies a spirit of openness and motivation for change. This individual recognizes the challenges that come with personal growth but approaches therapy with a willingness to explore and confront these difficulties. They appreciate the journey of self-discovery and are eager to gain insights that can lead to meaningful transformation in their life. In our sessions, I envision a collaborative environment where they feel safe to express their thoughts and emotions. They understand that progress may not always be linear, yet they remain committed to the process. This client values the therapeutic relationship and seeks guidance to cultivate greater self-awareness, resilience, and mindfulness in their daily life. What I cherish most about this ideal client is their ability to reflect on their experiences and actively engage in their healing journey. They inspire me with their courage to face discomfort and their desire to learn and grow. Together, we would explore various mindfulness practices and therapeutic techniques, fostering a deep connection that empowers them to embrace change with compassion and patience. Ultimately, my dream client is someone who is not only motivated to seek help but also appreciates the support and insight I can offer. In this partnership, we would work hand in hand to navigate the complexities of their experiences, celebrating each step toward a more fulfilled and mindful existence. This collaborative spirit of growth and understanding is what makes the therapeutic journey profoundly rewarding for both of us.

My name is Michael Starr, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy is more than just problem-solving, it’s a place to rediscover who you are, heal what’s been hidden, and move forward with clarity and strength. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm. My style is honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of the human experience. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, but I also hold space for what cannot always be explained, your story, your meaning, your growth. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you there and build the insight, skills, and resilience to move through them. You won’t be rushed or judged. You’ll be heard, supported, and challenged when needed. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start. Healing begins with one honest conversation, and I’m here to take that step with you.

I’m a Black male therapist in my 30s who is passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate anxiety, relationships, identity, and life transitions. I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected. My approach is collaborative and practical, drawing from evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while honoring each person’s unique experiences, culture, and strengths. I’m a therapist who believes therapy should feel like a space where you can be honest, understood, and supported without judgment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping clients better understand themselves while developing practical tools to navigate relationships, emotions, identity, life transitions, and personal growth. Through my practice, I work with individuals, couples, and families who may be struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, communication, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, or simply trying to figure out their next chapter. I meet each client where they are and recognize that no two people have the same story or path to healing. My goal is not to tell you who you should be, but to help you better understand who you are, what you need, and who you want to become. Therapy is a place for growth not just when life feels difficult, but also when you’re ready to build on the progress you’ve already made.

Hello, my name is Ricardo Guzman, LCSW. I identify as openly gay and was born in Honduras, but have also lived in Hong Kong, China; St. Paul, MN; and New York City. What inspired me to become a therapist were my own struggles with Coming-out of the closet, experiencing anxiety and depression, having my first heartbreak, as well as dealing with addiction (I am Sober), so I've been there myself. Therapy has helped me find healing in my own life and I know it can do the same to you. I will help you get back to self-love and acceptance.

With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in working with children ages 4–7 using play based therapy, a developmentally appropriate approach that meets children where they are. Because play is a natural way children communicate and make sense of the world around them, it provides a safe and engaging space for them to express emotions, work through difficult experiences, and develop new skills. Additionally, I work with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are navigating difficult family dynamics and relationship challenges. I help clients find their voice, build self trust, set healthier boundaries, and heal from toxic or emotionally harmful relationships. Together, we work to better understand patterns, strengthen self worth, and move toward relationships that feel safer, more balanced, and more fulfilling.

Hi, I'm Jean Messeroux, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an MSW from Columbia University and over eleven years of experience supporting people through some of the most formative and demanding seasons of their lives. My background spans education and healthcare, where I worked as a teacher, social worker, and social emotional learning facilitator, and that experience shaped a practice built on the belief that therapy should feel practical, human, and connected to what you're actually living through, not detached from it. I work with a wide range of people, students figuring out who they are, professionals managing pressure and burnout, parents balancing everything at once, and athletes navigating performance and identity, because the core work of understanding yourself and building healthier patterns looks similar no matter what world you come from. Whatever brought you here, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen quickly and leave with tools you can actually use.
