I’m a relational, insight-oriented therapist who believes meaningful change happens when we slow down enough to understand what’s really driving our patterns. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, identity shifts, and relationship dynamics, especially those who function well on the outside but feel tangled or overwhelmed internally. My approach is psychodynamic and collaborative. Together, we look at the emotional themes and internal narratives shaping your current struggles, not just to analyze them, but to help you move through life with more clarity, flexibility, and self-trust.

I am a native New Yorker and a graduate of Fordham University’s School of Social Work.I have decades of experience working with diverse populations. I bring a wealth of knowledge, insight, and clinical depth to my practice. Throughout my career, I have found this work to be deeply rewarding, with my role as a therapist being the most meaningful. I am honored to provide a safe, compassionate space where clients can engage in soul-searching, experience moments of epiphany, feel validated, and gain greater self-understanding. I believe that meaningful growth happens when clients are met where they are, with empathy and respect, and I work diligently to support that process. Central to my practice is the importance of self-care, which I actively embrace and practice weekly. I view self-care as essential—not optional—and it is a cornerstone of the conversations and work I share with clients. Outside of my professional life, I am a proud parent of two children, both graduates of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, who have successfully launched into their own independent lives.

Hi, I’m Ambar, a licensed clinical social worker who supports individuals navigating stress, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and culturally attuned, blending evidence-based methods with practical tools you can use both inside and outside of session. Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck in repeating patterns, or disconnected from themselves or others. Together, we slow things down, build awareness, and explore the emotions and beliefs shaping those experiences. I focus on helping you understand your internal world while strengthening skills for emotional regulation, communication, and resilience. I draw from mindfulness-based techniques, emotionally focused therapy, and insight-oriented approaches to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel seen, supported, and challenged in a compassionate way. My goal is to help you gain clarity, interrupt automatic reactions, and move toward more intentional choices and healthier relationships. Whether you’re seeking relief from anxiety, healing from past experiences, or greater confidence in your day-to-day life, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and a commitment to your growth.

I’m a warm, down-to-earth therapist who works with adolescents and Latinx young adults in NYC navigating anxiety, depression, and big life transitions—especially when family expectations, cultural values, and personal needs feel hard to balance. Many of the people I work with are used to being the responsible one, the strong one, or the one who’s “doing fine” on the outside, while feeling overwhelmed or stuck on the inside. Sometimes feeling torn between who they are and who they’re expected to be. Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to hold it all together or explain yourself. Its a space where you can slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and start taking care of yourself without guilt. I already understand how much culture and family can shape what you’re carrying. I bring over six years of experience into my work, but what matters most to me is creating a genuine, supportive connection. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, and I move at your pace. Together, we work on understanding your emotions, building healthier coping skills, and helping you feel more confident and grounded in who you are and where you’re going.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist working with adults who may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally unsettled beneath the surface. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, self-doubt, or persistent patterns they can’t quite untangle on their own. My style is thoughtful, steady, and insight-oriented. I integrate practical tools for emotional regulation with deeper exploration of relational patterns and attachment dynamics. I believe therapy should feel both grounding and meaningful — a place where you can slow down, understand yourself more clearly, and begin shifting patterns that no longer serve you. Clients often describe me as calm, direct, and attuned. I aim to create a space that feels safe enough for honesty and structured enough for real change. My work focuses not only on reducing symptoms, but on building emotional clarity, stability, and more secure ways of relating — to others and to yourself.

What drew me to this path was being able to help people see that they carry the strength and resilience for resolutions on their own.

I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New York rather than a city like New York City?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in New York. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New York from Buffalo to Rochester! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New York.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
