I am a clinical social worker passionate about providing mental health treatment that is meaningful and accessible. I believe mental health is just as important as medical health, since after all, your head is connected to your body. Through a culturally-sensitive and trauma-informed lens, I work to foster the therapeutic relationship to gently challenge clients to get curious about how current patterns of behaviors and ways of thinking serve them.
I became clinician to create safe spaces for healing from trauma, life circumstances for growth. I can guide you on a path of self-discovery and self-love that can empower you through many situations. Therapy is a place for you to practice being yourself and expressing your needs, so you are comfortable advocating for your needs and communicating your desires. Life is what you make it and I can help you to start walking into the person you desire to become.

I'll help you to talk about your feelings and help you to make treatment goals that you have been wanting to reach.

Hi, I’m Marissa Andris (Davitt), LMHC — a therapist and coach who helps women move from overwhelm and self-doubt into clarity, steadiness, and meaningful change.
I support clients who feel stretched thin, stuck in old patterns, or disconnected from the version of themselves they want to be. Many of the women I work with are managing anxiety, perfectionism, emotional eating, or burnout, and are craving a calmer, more grounded way of living. They’re often high-functioning on the outside but wrestling with exhaustion, shame, or feeling “not enough” on the inside.
My approach blends evidence-based therapy with action-oriented coaching, mindfulness, and a mind-body lens. You’ll find that our work is compassionate and grounding, but also focused on movement, change, and building habits that support your emotional and physical wellbeing. I use CBT, ACT, and solution-focused tools alongside a person-centered relationship—so you feel both supported and encouraged to take meaningful steps forward.
Clients describe me as warm, direct, and deeply invested in their growth. Together, we create a space where you can slow down, understand what’s getting in the way, and begin making choices aligned with who you want to be. If you’re ready for a clear path, steady support, and an approach that honors both your humanity and your goals, I’d be honored to work with you.
Hi! :)
My name is Amanda Martell and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been working in social work for the past decade in a myraid of settings, but mainly with women, families and children. I have worked in a homeless shelter, school settings, in non profits, and in various clinical settings. I believe my wide range of experiences has given me a holistic understanding and approach to the needs of my clients.
A little about me - I am a Puerto Rican, cis-gendered woman hailing from Brooklyn, NY. I am a single mother of one child. I am a highly spiritual person who incorporates religion/spirituality if that is something a client finds important in their healing and support. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community. I love to read and write so I will always have a book recommendation and journal prompts for my clients.
I will let people with whom I worked over the years tell you about me: "Joel focuses on the issues at hand, because he listens very intently. Doesn't get into any psychobabble and provides clear insight to moving forward. Joel encouraged positive takeaways from all sessions." "He s attentive, professional, personable, and kind." "We were able as a family to have Joel's ear as an outside observer. He could extract the most important take away from all that we were working on together and put them into concrete terms. It helped bring clarity and structure to all the things we were trying to do. Having appointments with Joel also helped us to be accountable for the work. Therapy is work. We have to consciously make changes to see the improvements... Joel helped us to stay accountable. " When I came to see Joel I was in a bad place - personally and professionally. I was dealing with unresolved grief and that was impacting my habits and behaviors. After a few short sessions with Joel I started the road back to being the person who I believe myself to be. It has been about 6 months since my first session with Joel - I am now working a good job, I have returned to a hobby that I love and I just completed my first semester of a degree program towards a more rewarding profession (and earned a 4.0 GPA!). Joel helped me realize that I had the ability to determine my own course in life and helped me develop positive habits to achieve my goals." If you want to know more you can visit www.0to10.net.

Since 2011, I have pursued the field of Psychology and Mental Health with great passion. Throughout this time, I have had the privilege and honor of working with diverse populations with an approach that focuses on the individual. I continue to gain insight, knowledge and skills within the field of Mental Health and recognize the importance of continuing education. I am, and have always been drawn to understanding the human condition and behaviors that may contribute to an individual’s personal struggle. I believe that the therapeutic process is highly beneficial and effective in providing healing, self-insight, wisdom, understanding, acceptance, knowledge and so much more.
I have found that utilizing multiple therapeutic approaches allows for individuality within treatment and the therapeutic relationship. I typically utilize concepts related to Depth Psychology, Mindfulness Practices, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT); Motivational Interviewing (MI); Solution Focused Therapy, and Existential therapy. It is my understanding that all behavior is purposeful and allows an individual to obtain personal needs and desires. However, at times, these behaviors may be maladaptive and cause an individual distress. Through the therapeutic process we will explore these patterns and discover ways in which an individual can live a rewarding and meaningful life.

Does anxiety, depression, and trauma feel exhausting? Often consuming most of your day and energy? Does life start to feel overwhelming at times and daily tasks start to feel like chores?

I want to help you get to a point where you realize this does not have to be your life and while we cannot take away or change life circumstances, we can learn to find better ways to adapt to the changes. We can learn to know ourselves better, our triggers, and what works for us. Healing is not easy or linear, everyone’s journey is unique and at their own pace. I see you as the expert of your life and my role is a mediator in your journey.

My name is Carly. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 10 years of experience in behavioral health, and have worked with adolescents and adults experiencing both mental health and substance abuse disorders. I graduated from Binghamton University with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and completed an M.S.Ed in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at St. John's University.
I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy, which will help you learn the tools to challenge patterns of thinking that leave you feeling stuck. By learning these skills, you will be more equipped to manage difficult relationships and tackle stressful life events. By shifting to an internal locus of control, you will finally begin to feel a sense of autonomy over your life. My style is to be more active during sessions, while being careful not to "advice give". You will always be in the driver's seat as we work together to better navigate problems.
I am a psychologist that is licensed in Florida and New York with 11 years of experience in the field. I have worked as a school psychologist, trauma-informed postdoctoral resident and a clinical psychologist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, executive functioning deficits, relationship difficulties, school issues, parenting struggles and career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma and/or abuse.
My counseling style is empathetic and warm. I believe in treating anyone with compassion, understanding and openness and I don't believe in the stigmatization of clinical diagnoses. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, and integrated theory. I will tailor our treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes bravery and initiative to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take those steps I am here to help guide you and provide support along your journey of self-discovery as you unlock your potential and continue to grow as a person.
I look forward to working with you!
