Reaching out to a therapist can be an overwhelming experience. I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for my clients to process their thoughts and emotions. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and tailored to meet my client’s needs. I have a Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Hunter College and a background in finance and advertising, which helps me understand the pressures of high-stress environments.

I have been a Clinical Psychologist for over 20 years, and feel privileged to have worked in settings such as the VA Hospital, the College Counseling Center at Columbia University, as well as running a private practice that has allowed me to work with some amazing clients in the fields of finance, publishing, entertainment, technology, and medicine. Each person was doing their best to navigate life, relationships, and careers. They were figuring it out on the way, yet seeking help to gain a better understanding of themselves. My clients have taught me a lot about the nuances and challenges their careers and chosen professions have presented, and this, in turn, has helped me understand how to help others who cross my threshold. In my training years, I also worked in tough settings such as the state mental health system and incarcerated settings. This varied and meaningful journey made me very diverse in my clinical skills and nimble in my work with the people I've had the privilege of sitting across from in the therapy room. In a time when many therapists specialize in specific areas, I've chosen to cultivate my natural curiosity and develop a clinical range that allows me to work with a varied and interesting set of people. I always strive to provide an authentic connection with my clients and bring my passion for this work to each client. My favorite moment in therapy is seeing the delight on my clients' faces when all the work we've been doing results in the clarity they've been looking for.

I help adults who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and chronic stress patterns that feel hard to turn off—even when life looks “fine” on the outside. Many of my clients are high-functioning, self-aware, and capable in many areas of life, but internally experience racing thoughts, self-criticism, overwhelm, or a constant sense of pressure. In therapy, we work on calming the nervous system, understanding emotional and thought patterns, and creating a greater sense of internal safety and steadiness.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, substance use, or a major life transition? Maybe you're feeling stuck, dealing with self-doubt, or just trying to get through day-to-day life and it’s starting to feel like too much. You don’t have to figure it out alone. With years of experience in the mental health field, I provide a supportive, down-to-earth space where you can talk things through without judgment. My approach is collaborative and practical. I work with you to understand what’s going on, what’s getting in the way, and what might actually help in real life. I work with individuals dealing with anxiety, stress, substance use and recovery, life transitions, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, and other patterns that can make life feel overwhelming or stuck. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real partnership. You bring your experience and what you know about your life and together, we figure out what makes sense for you and what actually feels doable not just in theory, but in day-to-day life.

I work with individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, and I help them better understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns so they can make meaningful changes.

I work with young adults and adults and have expertise in treating patients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, compulsive, addictive behaviors and domestic violence. I have specialized training in various evidence-based treatments for trauma such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I hope to help patients learn effective ways to cope with stress, manage difficult emotions and communicate well with others. We have all acquired ways of coping that get in the way of our development, and manifest as emotional pain, such as anxiety and depression. I work with clients to identify and reduce these painful symptoms. Clients are then freer to use their energy in pursuit of their goals. I work with young, midlife, and older adults. I develop a safe and collaborative relationship with clients. In that context, I do short and long-term psychotherapy and train clients to use specific protocols to modify symptoms that are in the way of personal and professional functioning. My approach provides support, guidance, and education to help you become the best version of yourself and work towards achieving your goals. I consider it an honor to work alongside you, and I look forward to meeting you soon.

I’m a warm, insight-oriented therapist who offers a steady, compassionate space for adults navigating grief, relational wounds, and the impact of growing up around emotional chaos or inconsistency. My approach is grounded in deep listening and curiosity—I help clients slow down and make sense of their inner experience, uncovering patterns that may have once been protective but now feel limiting. Together, we create room for new ways of relating—to yourself, to others, and to your story. Healing, in my work, begins with being deeply seen and understood.

Hi there! My name is Ceresa González and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 23 years of experience working in mental health. I am also the owner of MINDbody Wellness Therapy. I have been very fortunate to recognize early in my life that my ability to intuitively understand and connect with people would lead to a lifelong career helping others do the same. I have had a colorful career dedicated to helping others in many different capacities, including inpatient, outpatient and psychiatric emergency room care, trauma clinics, shelters, residential centers, schools, courtrooms, prisons, and criminal justice reform. I have had opportunities to supervise and train other clinicians, educate communities, oversee programs and development, and contribute to social policy change. At its core, I believe the relationship with ourselves is what determines how we interact with our environment, other people, and the world. If you’re feeling stuck, you will be amazed at how capable you are of exploring parts of yourself you never knew existed. I would like to be your guide and offer the chance to uncover patterns you may not be aware of, learn control over your emotions, stop ruminating thoughts, resolve past traumas, confront avoided thoughts, feelings, and conflict, communicate effectively, improve relationships and boundaries, and embrace life transitions - to name a few!

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 a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in both New York and New Jersey, and I work with adults and couples 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.
