I am warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental, and I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves. I believe that therapy works best when it feels safe, supportive, and grounded in genuine human connection. My goal is to meet you where you are, listen deeply, and help you move toward the changes you want in your life. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support and clarity, I aim to help you better understand your patterns, strengthen coping skills, and build practical tools that support lasting, meaningful change. My approach is practical and goal-oriented while still being compassionate and flexible. I often incorporate strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. I am also a certified yoga teacher, and I value the connection between mind and body, often integrating mindfulness and self-awareness techniques into the work we do together. I strive to make therapy feel approachable and collaborative, whether you are seeking short-term, solution-focused support or a space to explore deeper patterns and growth.

Hi, I’m Juliana, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker At this time, I am accepting family-based clients only through Grow Therapy, meaning that my work involves both a child or young person and their parent/caregiver. I do not provide individual therapy to parents unless I am also actively working with their child.My family work is collaborative and tailored to the needs of each family. I use parent-child psychotherapy, mediation, restorative practices, CBT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, and solution-focused interventions. Sessions may focus on strengthening parent-child communication, navigating conflict, establishing healthy boundaries, creating consistent expectations and consequences at home, improving emotional regulation, and helping families better understand and respond to one another. Depending on the family's needs, treatment may include individual sessions with the child or young person, parent sessions, parent-child sessions, or sessions involving both parents. When a child is developmentally and clinically able to meet independently, treatment includes individual time with the child alongside regular caregiver involvement so that progress can be supported outside of therapy. Families may meet weekly or biweekly, with the option for up to two sessions per week when clinically appropriate. For example, one week may include an individual session with the child and a separate parent or parent-child session. This structure allows me to support the young person's individual needs while also addressing the family relationships and patterns that affect them outside of the therapy room. When additional support is needed, I can also collaborate with schools and other outpatient providers and incorporate safety planning and parent support around concerns such as self-harm. My approach is practical, relational, and strengths-based: I want both the young person and their caregivers to feel heard while helping the family develop healthier, more consistent ways of communicating and functioning together.

You are capable, possibly the most capable person in the room, and yet something keeps getting in the way. Maybe it is the anxiety that follows you into meetings, a career crossroads you cannot seem to resolve, or a voice in your head that is harder on you than anyone else. You do not need someone to tell you what to do. You need a space to get clear, a direct approach that respects your intelligence, and tools that actually work. With 20 years of experience, I help high-functioning adults close the gap between where they are and who they know they can be. If you are feeling stuck, disconnected, or worn down by patterns you cannot seem to break, you are not alone and you are not without options. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, or a loss of confidence, I create a judgment-free space where honesty meets action. My approach is warm but direct.

I believe that each individual has a unique set of life experiences and treatment should be custom tailored to empower them help meet their personal needs. I am passionate about my work with a diverse client base which includes adults, teens (15 & older), business professionals dealing with job related stress, and those just trying to navigate through everyday challenges.

Hi there! It’s great to meet you all! As a woman of color, I deeply understand the unique challenges that BIPOC adults face in today’s world. Whether it’s dealing with societal expectations or the weight of racial and gender biases, I’m here to walk alongside you and provide the support you need. I hold a certification in Advanced Grief Counseling and am dedicated to providing compassionate support to individuals navigating all types of losses (job loss, loss of a loved one, loss of a pet, relationship breakup/divorce etc).My other areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, racial trauma, and even career exploration. My aim is to empower you to create positive changes in your life. I believe in a strengths-based approach to therapy, where we work together to identify your unique strengths and use them to tackle challenges effectively. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help reframe thoughts and behaviors, offering you practical techniques for problem-solving, stress management, and making lasting behavioral changes. Our sessions are goal-oriented and may even include some homework to practice what we discuss. At the heart of my philosophy is collaboration. Think of us as partners on this journey—I'm here to provide the tools and support, but you’re the one who charts your own path to growth and transformation. Just like an architect who helps you design a structure rather than building it for you, I empower you to carve out your own success. Together, we’ll establish a solid foundation so you can face future challenges with confidence and your own unique strategies. I can’t wait to start this journey with you!

Hi, I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Western New York, with over 14 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, which helped me discover where my heart truly lies—supporting women through life’s many transitions. Are you navigating the uncertainty of post-college life, wondering who you are outside the classroom? Have you recently started a new job and find yourself second-guessing every move? Maybe you’re a mom juggling countless responsibilities, trying your best while feeling stretched thin. Change can be overwhelming—especially when it’s accompanied by self-doubt, confusion, or shame. My passion is helping women better understand themselves, build confidence, and improve their mental health as they move through life’s inevitable shifts. My counseling style is warm, patient, and open-minded. I am trauma-informed and draw on a range of evidence-based modalities to support healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges. Above all, I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you feel empowered to grow.

I’m glad you’re here. Looking for support is a big first step. Therapy can be a place to slow down, to make sense of what you’re dealing with, and find new ways forward that feel more manageable. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut and New York. I received my Masters from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and have been in the field for 12 years. I have extensive experience working with college-aged and emerging adults navigating identity, relationships, and life transitions. Additionally, I've worked with adults on the autism spectrum, family members and caregivers of people with developmental disabilities, and others in helping roles. More importantly, I’m interested in getting to know you as an individual and working together in a way that feels supportive, practical, and aligned with who you are.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
