Hello I am Dr. Bolling and I would like to be your therapist. My favorite client is someone that doesn't believe change may be possible for them. I work with professional individuals that have demanding successful lives and alcohol and/or substance use may have become a concern that they want to decrease or stop completely. I work from a Strengths Based Harm Reduction therapeutic model which incorporates CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing to explore the pros and cons associated with the decision to make changes on your timeframe from your perspective. I work with individuals, couples and families to improve communication and understanding through the use of the Open Dialogue clinical approach.

Fear, doubt, and anxiety/depression are often apart of this life and it is important to connect with others in order to address them when they become stuck places. Then, they become the fuel for your better way forward.

With over 15 years of experience, I work with children, families, and adults navigating emotional challenges, difficult relationships, and life transitions. I offer virtual therapy for adults who are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or struggling with difficult family dynamics.

Hi, I’m Amanda, a licensed clinical social worker. I work with children, teens, and young adults who may look like they’re doing okay on the outside but are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, emotional, stuck, or unsure of themselves underneath it all. Whether your child is having bigger emotions lately, struggling with confidence, navigating friendships, feeling pressure at school, or just not seeming like themselves, therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and build tools that actually fit their life. My goal is to create a space that feels comfortable, genuine, and supportive—not intimidating—where clients can show up as themselves while learning ways to manage emotions, build confidence, improve relationships, and feel more like themselves again. I also work alongside caregivers because meaningful change happens both in and outside of sessions.

I’m a client-centered therapist who believes therapy should feel as unique as you are. I don’t take a one size fits all approach. Instead, I take time to really get to know you, your story, and what matters most so we can shape our work in a way that truly fits your life. I strive to create a space that feels genuine, supportive, and comfortable, where you can be yourself without judgment. At the same time, I help you build practical tools and insights you can actually use outside of sessions to create meaningful, lasting change.

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.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State with 25 years of experience in counseling, crisis intervention, and community mental health. I have experience helping individuals navigate stress and anxiety, depression, family and relationship conflicts, anger management, and bipolar disorder. My clinical approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I take a direct, supportive, and individualized approach, recognizing that everyone has different experiences, challenges, and goals. I believe meaningful progress begins with a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, respectful, and supportive while also providing the encouragement and challenge necessary for personal growth. Seeking therapy takes courage. Often, we reach out when life feels overwhelming, relationships become difficult, or we feel stuck, disconnected, anxious, or uncertain about how to move forward. Together, we can explore these experiences, recognize patterns that may be holding you back, and develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and responding to life's challenges. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process built on open communication, trust, and mutual respect. Our work may involve exploring difficult emotions, challenging unhelpful thinking patterns, and developing practical skills you can apply to everyday life. Therapy can be supportive and empowering, but growth can also be uncomfortable and challenging. Sometimes, meaningful change begins when we are willing to look at ourselves and our circumstances differently. My goal is to create an environment where you feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment, while helping you recognize your strengths and potential. Whether you're seeking relief from anxiety, healthier relationships, greater self-understanding, or a renewed sense of direction, I am here to support and empower you. Together, we can work toward meaningful change and a more fulfilling, balanced life.

As a long-term provider of mental health, I feel that therapy is very much like coaching. Together we can affect change using the tenets of CBT. I like to work in a brief, short-term and goal-centered approach. Come with an open mind and let us talk about making minor adjustments that can lead to long term changes. My mantra is -- "How can I help?" And if it sounds like a "Zen" like approach to counseling- maybe it is. Feel free to contact me with questions.

I predominantly work with young men struggling with social anxiety disorder. Do you struggle with social anxiety and poor self-confidence? I know that overcoming it is possible! Many come to therapy for social anxiety because of childhood trauma and how it has manifested in their adult lives. Often this manifests in feelings of poor self-confidence, poor self-worth, and poor self-confidence. At its root, the fundamental belief of those who have social anxiety is the belief, “I am not enough.” Clients get into the habit of comparing themselves to others and it makes them feel inadequate and insecure. Over time clients begin to avoid situations that elicit their anxiety, particularly social situations. This can lead to social isolation and loneliness. Clients will present with complaints of frequent panic attacks, not having a romantic partner, not having friends, not being happy in their jobs and feeling disconnected from life. They are labeled by others as shy, quiet, or introverted. This scenario described myself for much of my life which gives me lived experience to better able to assist you. I help individuals combat their social fears and begin to live a rich and fulfilling life. I do this through cognitive behavioral therapy techniques primarily but also integrate solution-focused therapy, assertiveness training, exposure therapy, and acceptance & commitment therapy. Whether you're a teen struggling to make friends and socialize or you are an adult unable to speak up at work meetings or unable to ask someone out on a date, I'm here for you! Seeking therapy can be frightening but I want to assure you that you will be most welcome if you take that leap of faith!

I approach psychotherapy as a process of developing a deeper, more honest understanding of oneself. Many people are not only seeking relief from symptoms; they are trying to understand why they repeatedly find themselves in certain relationships, emotional states, conflicts, or patterns of behavior. My clinical interests reflect a broad curiosity about human behavior, including identity, personality, attachment, anger, shame, desire, self-control, meaning, spirituality, interpersonal conflict, and the ways our histories continue to shape our present lives. I enjoy working with people who are already introspective, as well as those who are just beginning to put their inner experience into words. My approach is informed by psychodynamic and psychoanalytic thinking, while also drawing from DBT, ACT, cognitive-behavioral approaches, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-informed methods when useful. I am interested not only in what someone thinks or feels, but in the deeper patterns beneath those experiences: what they fear, long for, avoid, protect, and struggle to reconcile within themselves. I also believe therapy can involve questions larger than diagnosis: Who are you becoming? What kind of relationships do you want? What gives your life meaning? What does discipline, responsibility, or freedom look like for you? Outside of psychotherapy, my interests include martial arts, physical training, philosophy, religion and spirituality, neuroscience, writing, and human motivation. Years of martial arts training have shaped how I think about change: insight matters, but growth also requires patience, repetition, humility, restraint, and practice. My style is engaged, thoughtful, direct, and curious. I aim to create a space where we can think carefully about experiences that may be painful, contradictory, uncomfortable, or difficult to admit. Ultimately, I see therapy as a way to increase psychological freedom so that old patterns do not automatically determine what happens next.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and resolve distressing memories and experiences. It uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or alternating tapping, to support the brain’s natural healing process. EMDR helps reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic or overwhelming experiences while strengthening more adaptive beliefs about oneself. This structured approach is effective for trauma, anxiety, depression, and other stress-related concerns, allowing clients to experience relief without needing to repeatedly relive the event in detail.

I see clients of all orientations and cultural/ethnic backrounds. I am respectful of all religious traditions as well as secular and philosophical traditions. I work with individuals, couples, families and children/teens. My aproach to therapy is: Direct Respectful Non-judgmental Solution-focused Empowering Positive In the short term you should feel better going out than you did coming in. Over the long term, you should feel more empowered, clearer, more self-supporting, more compassionate with yourself and more skilled with others. I look forward to working together with you! Sincerely, Miriam Mendelson, LMHC, PhD (Dr. Mimi)

With extensive experience guiding clients toward their goals, my practice is built on a compassionate, person-centered foundation. As an eclectic therapist, i integrate evidence-based tools like CBT, DBT, and ACT to help you manage complex emotions and build psichological flexibility. Also, specializing in grief therapy, I provide a safe space for healing. Let's work together toward a more resilient , meaningful life.

I use a warm, collaborative, and client-centered approach that draws from CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and other evidence-based techniques. Together, we’ll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical tools to manage stress and emotions, and work through difficult or traumatic experiences when appropriate. I’ll meet you where you are and work at your pace, with the goal of helping you feel more grounded, empowered, and confident as you move toward meaningful change.
