My personality is warm, compassionate, understanding, and straightforward. I will meet you where you are while also encouraging you to look more closely at the thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that may be keeping you from moving forward.

I understand that therapy is not one size fits all, so our work together will be tailored to your individual needs, culture, identity, strengths, and goals.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained at NYU with a multi-state virtual practice. I take a deeply individualized approach to addressing the problems that you want to change, so we can figure out together the best way forward. Most of my training is based on the Cognitive Behavioral Model in which I will help you try out dozens of different therapy tools to find out the perfect combination that works for you. I am also a firm believer that our mind does not exist independently of our body, and caring for our body is a foundation for good mental health.

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.

Hello! My name is JC Abreu, and I am passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges while discovering their resilience and capacity for growth.

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.

Hey! I'm Shay and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York , Florida, Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina and I specialize in anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I was born and raised in NYC. I serve individuals and couples between the ages of 18-60 who struggle with communication skills, boundary settings, family and relationship challenges among other challenges who are ready and willing to begin their healing journey. I work with people who feel stuck in their own mind—overthinking, second-guessing, or constantly on edge. If you’re dealing with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or OCD patterns, you might already know how exhausting it can be to try to “logic” your way out of it and still feel out of control. That’s where we take a different approach.

For the past 16 years, I have had the privilege of helping people navigate the complicated, messy, and often deeply meaningful work of understanding themselves. I believe therapy can be a place to slow down-to step outside of the noise and begin taking a more examined look at your life, your patterns, your relationships and the choices you've been making. My approach is grounded in the belief that our minds and nervous system are constantly trying to protect us. Many of the patterns that can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected or overwhelmed once served an important purpose. I am interested in helping you understand why these patterns developed, what they may be trying to communicate and whether they still serve you in the life you're living now. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness practices. I don't believe there is one right way to do therapy, so our work will be collaborative and tailored to you.

If you’re ready to design a life with more joy, peace, and meaningful relationships, I’d be honored to walk with you. Let’s figure it out—together.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unsure how to move forward. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, emotional difficulties, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I combine practical strategies from CBT and DBT with psychodynamic, attachment-based, interpersonal, and person-centered approaches. Together, we will address current concerns while also exploring the experiences and recurring patterns that may be influencing your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, gain greater clarity, and create meaningful and lasting change.
