I believe that therapy is a guided process in search of your serenity. In order to foster change, it will take a collaborative effort to meet your needs. The foundation of my approach focuses on trauma that has not been dealt with, which has now manifest into undesirable behavior. I pride myself on providing you a safe space to be vulnerable, a connection that builds an alliance, an active ear so you feel heard and warm experience that will restore hope for a better tomorrow.

I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience in social services, child welfare, and mental health. My professional background includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and families as they navigate emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. My experience in both school-based and clinical settings has given me a deep understanding of how family dynamics, relationships, life experiences, and environmental stressors can impact emotional well-being. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Play Therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and everyday stressors. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and tailored to each client's individual needs. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process where clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I bring warmth, empathy, patience, and a practical, solution-focused perspective to my sessions. I also believe in balancing compassion with gentle accountability, helping clients gain insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing the tools needed to create meaningful change. My goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space where clients can explore their experiences, recognize their strengths, build resilience, and develop healthier ways of navigating life's challenges. Whether I am helping a child build emotional regulation skills, supporting a teenager through social and academic pressures, or guiding an adult through relationship difficulties and major life transitions, I strive to meet each client where they are and empower them to move toward greater confidence, emotional wellness, and personal growth.

Hi, I’m Maria—a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals find clarity, healing, and resilience through life’s challenges. I became a therapist because I deeply believe in the power of connection and the importance of feeling seen, heard, and understood. My passion for mental health grew from personal experiences and professional work in diverse communities, where I witnessed the strength people carry even in their most difficult moments. I hold a master’s degree in social work and am a licensed clinical social worker. My professional background includes working in outpatient mental health clinics and hospitals, where I’ve supported individuals facing anxiety, depression, parenting stress, identity issues, and relationship difficulties. I have extensive experience working with young adults, adults, and parents—particularly those navigating cultural stressors, life transitions, and caregiver burnout. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness. I tailor treatment to each person’s unique story, helping clients develop healthier thought patterns, regulate emotions, and reconnect with their strengths. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain, therapy can be a space to feel supported and empowered. I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your path to healing and growth.

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.

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.

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 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!

Whether you've explored multiple resources and feel stuck in a revolving door or you're just curious about therapy for the first time, I want to hear your unique story and personal goals. I'm a musician and athlete and have a huge passion for health and fitness which has also influenced my holistic approach. I also love exploring spirituality and learning more about people's unique experiences. While I take therapy seriously, I also naturally have a warm, light-hearted approach.

Hello, I’m Sahana Pentyala, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) committed to helping individuals, families, and organizations strengthen their emotional resilience and achieve lasting well-being. My approach integrates evidence-based clinical practices with a deep understanding of how physical, emotional, and social health intersect — an approach shaped by my specialization in Integrated Health. Over the years, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, adults, caregivers, and professionals navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, depression, life transitions, and burnout. I believe that healing begins with understanding — and I strive to provide a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space where you can be heard, validated, and supported in your journey toward balance and growth.

Hi! I'm Spencer, a social worker and certified alcohol and substance use counselor based in Brooklyn. I've been working in mental health and addiction since 2021. I've been a social worker in all sorts of environments with all sorts of clients and patients: residential, outpatient, inpatient, hospital, community clinic, private practice; adolescents, adults, geriatrics- you name it, I've worked it! This variety of exposure and experiences has given me some insight into all of the different issues that can bother us, and all the ways we can handle those issues. I've learned about the broad ranges of feelings we feel, and how to cope with those feelings in productive ways. I've also learned about how we can come to rely on unhealthy coping skills, and ways to transition into more positive and safer skills.

Life Transitions
Hi! Thank you for being here and taking the first step to internal healing. You may look like you're holding everything together, but internally feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can't seem to shift. If this sounds like you, you're not alone and you don't have to navigate these feelings by yourself. I am a licensed clinical social worker who provides a warm, thoughtful, and grounded therapeutic space for adults navigating life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that no longer serve them. I believe therapy should feel both supportive and empowering so you can feel heard, understood, and gently challenged to grow.
