My name is Steven Merino, and I am a dedicated and compassionate Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience in counseling and social work. I hold a Master’s degree in Forensic Mental Health Counseling from John Jay College of Criminal Justice and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of New York. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, supporting clients who face challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, trauma, and relationship issues. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices designed to empower individuals to achieve personal growth, healing, and emotional well-being.

Hello. I am a licensed Mental health counselor based in New York State. I specialize in ADHD and helping people of all ages adapt to authority and set healthy boundaries in the home, work and academic environment. Navigating often invalidating systems can be complicated, so I make my therapeutic approach as straightforward and understandable as possible by focusing on specific skills to help you thrive. I focus the first few sessions on past experiences leading up to therapy, including any prior experiences with therapy. This allows me to establish shared goals and expectations for working together.

With over 17 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in helping teens, young adults, and women navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, or major life transitions, I provide a compassionate and supportive space where you can explore emotions, build coping skills, and create lasting change. I understand that feeling stuck or overwhelmed can be frustrating, and sometimes, you may not even know where to begin. That’s where I come in. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered techniques, mindfulness, and strength-based modalities, allowing me to tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals. Together, we will work to identify triggers, develop effective coping strategies, and implement behavior modifications that empower you to move forward. Beyond techniques and strategies, I believe in the power of connection. Therapy is not just about working through struggles—it’s about feeling heard, validated, and supported. My mission is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings while gaining insight into your journey. I am passionate about working with women, particularly women of color, as I deeply understand the importance of cultural identity and lived experiences in the healing process.

Hi there! I'm Katie and enjoy working with a wide range of people and specialize in treating teens and young adults. My specialty areas include mood instability, anxiety, depression, issues related to gender identity and sexuality, difficulty launching into adulthood, and maladaptive coping mechanisms including self-harm and impulsive behaviors. I work well with people who are emotionally sensitive, may feel that they don’t belong, and have difficulty maintaining stable relationships. I strive to help people create a life that’s more enjoyable by learning to tolerate painful emotions and have more pleasant experiences.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is skilled in numerous modalities that includes both EMDR and sensorimotor therapies. My specialties go to the root of the problem and finds the silver thread or in therapeutic terms the neurobiological network that connects the negative beliefs inherent in all the trauma the patient experienced. In addition to my trauma training I earned my RPT (registered play therapist) and I have extensive knowledge of child development and counseling children and adolescents. I am willing to counsel adolescents online but children younger than 12 must be seen in person.

I have been a practicing Clinician for the past 20+ years. I have worked with a broad range of individuals from ages 8 yrs. old through adulthood and into old age. My two plus decades in the field have been dedicated to assessing, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of mental and emotional challenges, building a strong foundation of competence and professional reputation. I have cultivated a deeper understanding of human behavior and resilience which enhances my ability to help clients navigate their own complexities.
