Hello, and welcome. I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to seek support. You deserve a space where you do not have to carry everything on your own. My goal is to provide compassionate, person-centered therapy grounded in genuine human connection.
I work with teenagers, young adults, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, burnout, grief, chronic illness, substance use concerns, and major life transitions. I believe healing begins when people feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we will explore the challenges you are facing while building on the strengths and resilience you already possess.
My approach is collaborative, relational, and tailored to your individual needs. I integrate evidence-based practices with a holistic perspective, recognizing the connection between emotional, physical, and mental well-being.

Hi, I’m Debra Ratchford, an LMHC and a CASAC in New York with 10 years of experience supporting adults and adolescents in individual therapy. I help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward begin to understand their patterns, build confidence, and take practical steps toward change. I engage in active listening and empathy working with my clients.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and U.S. Navy veteran who provides culturally responsive therapy to adolescents ages 14 and older and adults. I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as your whole self and feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can be honest about what they are experiencing while developing practical tools to help them move forward.
I work with clients experiencing depression, grief and loss, major life transitions, relationship and family challenges, low self-esteem, difficulty with emotional regulation, and periods of feeling stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about what comes next. With adolescents, I enjoy helping young people navigate identity development, self-esteem, peer and family relationships, school stress, emotional regulation, and the challenges that come with transitioning into adulthood.
Cultural competence is an important part of my work. I have a particular passion for working with clients of color and recognize that culture, family expectations, identity, community, and lived experiences can influence how we understand ourselves and how we experience the world. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where these experiences can be openly explored and respected rather than overlooked.
My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, practical, and direct. I don’t believe therapy has to feel overly clinical or disconnected from your everyday life. We will work together to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, recognize your strengths, develop healthier ways of coping, and create realistic changes that support the life you want to build. Whether you are an adolescent figuring out who you are or an adult navigating a new chapter, therapy can be a place to grow, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with greater confidence.
Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York and Michigan. I earned my Master in Social Work from Hunter College, New York, NY. I have been practicing for 15 years. I welcome clients/patients of all ages and backgrounds. I work with adults and children 8+. I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief/loss, PTSD, and eating disorders. Specific modalities that I may use include CBT, DBT, IPT, Existential therapy, and Supportive feedback. I am a strong ally with the LGBTQ+ community, and I am fluent in both Spanish and English.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of experience treating depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, life transitions, and long-standing patterns in how people relate to themselves and others. I see mental health as the ability to perceive reality accurately, including the differences between yourself and others, and to respond to it effectively. I tailor my approach to your needs, whether that's practical life challenges, rigid thought patterns, or emotional pain held in the body after trauma. I also help you untangle enmeshed family relationships: recognizing where your own feelings and needs end and others' begin, and setting boundaries without guilt. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and psychodynamic theory. Effective therapy, in my view, means both challenging the thinking and relational patterns that keep you stuck and learning to understand and regulate the emotions underneath them.
I am licensed in three states (NY, NC, and SC) and have 8 years total of clinical experience. My career started in North Carolina when I got my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Carolina University and completed my internship serving as a counselor in an inpatient substance use treatment facility. After that, most of my career was spent serving diverse populations in New York City, in multiple settings of care including substance use treatment and community mental health treatment facilities, and private practice settings. I worked with a heavily diverse, international, and multicultural population from many backgrounds. Over time I had immersive experience building a niche working with LGBTQ+ clients. I also worked with clients from all walks of life navigating concerns around trauma, addiction, mood disorders, major life transitions, and concerns regarding intimate relationships.
I consider my counseling approach to be ecletic. I incorperate concepts from many different modalities and adapt them to the unique needs of my clients. Some of the major counseling theories I draw from include Person-centered therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognative Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, and many others.
With nearly 30 years of experience as a social worker, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds and walks of life. Throughout my career, I’ve learned that every person’s story is unique, and that feeling truly heard and understood can make a meaningful difference.
My approach is client-centered, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore what you’re experiencing, work through challenges, and move toward the changes you want to make.
My goal is for you to feel comfortable being yourself, without judgment, while we work together at a pace that feels right for you.
Hi, I’m Zyeshia, a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience in behavioral health. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and feeling overwhelmed or stuck. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard and accepted, where you can show up authentically without having everything figured out, while gaining a better understanding of the patterns, emotions, and experiences that may be affecting your life.
I draw from approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, and behavioral strategies, tailoring therapy to the individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you’re looking to manage difficult emotions, improve relationships and boundaries, work through past experiences, or simply feel more in control of your life, we’ll work together toward changes that feel meaningful and realistic for you.

COUPLES SERVICES
Before scheduling an initial session, I have a brief screening process for all couples interested in therapy. This helps me ensure that my approach is the right fit for your needs, that we can work together safely and effectively. The screening typically involves a short phone or video call (about 15–20 minutes) where I can learn about your needs, and you can ask any questions that you may have about my practice. Please contact me via Psychology Today to schedule a screening.
Therapy itself is really a story—a journey of understanding, growth, and change.

In our sessions, you can expect a space where you can be yourself fully—whether that means talking things through, processing emotions, or even laughing a little along the way. I use approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based therapy, but most importantly, I focus on what actually works for you.
I especially connect with clients who may feel pressure to “have it all together,” who are used to being strong for everyone else, or who are trying to balance different parts of their identity. Together, we’ll work on setting boundaries, understanding your patterns, and helping you feel more grounded and confident in your life.

Hello, I am Nancy DiStefano a mastered prepared, licensed independent social worker with over 35 years experience. I have experience in therapy with members from age 3-83. I am here to help you find peace in your life and reach whatever goals you choose to reach. I have been doing online tele-health since 2012. I specialize in CBT and ERP. I am here to help. Let's begin.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been practicing for over 18 years. In my clinical opinion, all therapeutic approaches come from a place of strength, validation and compassion. In my work, I focus on the concerns you feel comfortable sharing while validating your experiences, creating a compassionate and safe space which allows you to effect change and move past pain, loss, trauma and regret. I aim to teach you that the present moment is truly the gift we have, even if it doesn't always feel that way. Our past is behind us, it can neither hurt us any longer nor be changed. We do not know the future, it is not yet visible. Attempting to prepare for what is to come or holding tight to what is no more, takes us away from the present, the moments we have right now, preventing us from embracing the life we dream of. Old messages, hurts and grief often keep us stuck, holding onto a past that will always be a part of who we are, but in no way defines us. We are not "what" we have endured, rather it is the "what" which forged our strengths, awareness and resilience. The story we create is not written by anyone other than ourselves. The truth in life is that we are all good as we are, right now, in this moment. And the beauty in life is that we can grow to be better, no matter what we may have been told, witnessed or lived. You matter, your journey matters, your recovery is what you decide, what you want and I am proud to be a partner to you in this. Even if you select another therapist, remember you are worth it, always.

Maybe your mind feels like it never shuts off—overthinking, worrying, or constantly feeling on edge. Or maybe it’s the opposite... feeling low, unmotivated, or disconnected from yourself in a way that’s hard to explain. Some days feel heavy, and even simple things take more effort than they used to.
You may also be carrying grief—whether from a loss, a life change, or something that didn’t turn out the way you hoped. At the same time, work stress or burnout might be adding another layer, leaving you feeling emotionally drained and stretched thin.
I primarily work with women who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and the impact of past experiences. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break.
