I work with deep feelers, overthinkers, cycle-breakers, and people in transition who are ready to release the old emotional stories they no longer want to live inside. My approach is warm, intuitive, grounded, and collaborative. Together, we explore the patterns, beliefs, protective responses, and inner agreements that may have formed through pain, survival, heartbreak, family dynamics, identity shifts, or repeated relational wounds. I help clients slow down, listen inward, understand what their emotions are trying to protect, and begin relating to themselves with more clarity, compassion, and choice. My work supports emotional release, self-trust, nervous system awareness, healthier boundaries, and the gradual return to one’s own voice, body, truth, and power.

We need meaningful experiences to help us navigate this journey called life. My training as a Naturopathic Doctor affords me a lens to also consider, incorporate and integrate diet & lifestyle practices for your overall well-being. So, if you are tired of being tired, anxious, sad, depressed and you're just going through the motions, feeling stuck in dysfunctional patterns that drain you; AND you are willing to do the work to get well, then you need skilled, compassionate support to help you get unstuck and get your life back on track, so that you can experience purposeful living.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably carrying something heavy — and you may have been carrying it longer than you should have had to. I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in both New York and New Jersey, and I work with adults and couples who are navigating some of life’s most emotionally demanding seasons: parenting stress, relationship strain, depression, ADHD, and the kind of high-functioning exhaustion that doesn’t always look like struggle from the outside but absolutely feels like it. My approach is relational at its core. I believe that healing rarely happens in isolation — it happens in connection. Before any technique or homework assignment, I prioritize building a therapeutic relationship where you actually feel safe enough to be honest. That foundation isn’t just good therapy etiquette; it’s what makes everything else possible. From there, I draw on a range of evidence-based frameworks — attachment theory, CBT, DBT, and person-centered approaches — tailoring the work to what you specifically need rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Some clients need tools and structure. Others need space to process and be witnessed. Most need both, at different moments. I’ve worked with many people who came to therapy after putting it off for a long time — sometimes years. What kept them away was often fear: fear of judgment, fear of being misunderstood, or simply not knowing what therapy was supposed to feel like. I take that seriously. My goal from the very first session is to help you feel less alone in what you’re facing, and more capable of moving through it. You don’t have to have it figured out before you reach out. That’s what we’re here to do together.

I’m a therapist who is passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where people feel comfortable being themselves. I believe therapy works best when it’s collaborative, respectful, and tailored to each person’s unique experiences and goals. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to walk alongside you as you navigate challenges, gain insight, and build practical skills for everyday life. I work with individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, and I help them better understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns so they can make meaningful changes. I draw from proven therapeutic approaches in a flexible, down-to-earth way, always moving at a pace that feels right for you. Above all, I value authenticity, trust, and compassion in the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with what matters most to you.

Hi, I’m a therapist who believes healing happens best in a space that feels genuine, supportive, and human. Outside of therapy, I enjoy reading, writing true crime pieces, painting, and embracing a slow, intentional lifestyle especially slow mornings that allow time for reflection and self-care. I bring that same grounded and thoughtful energy into my work with clients. I work with individuals who are ready to better understand themselves, work through emotional challenges, and create meaningful change in their lives. My approach is compassionate, honest, and collaborative, while still encouraging growth and accountability throughout the therapeutic process.

Hello, my name is Ricardo Guzman, LCSW. I identify as openly gay and was born in Honduras, but have also lived in Hong Kong, China; St. Paul, MN; and New York City. What inspired me to become a therapist were my own struggles with Coming-out of the closet, experiencing anxiety and depression, having my first heartbreak, as well as dealing with addiction (I am Sober), so I've been there myself. Therapy has helped me find healing in my own life and I know it can do the same to you. I will help you get back to self-love and acceptance.

Hello, I am a clinical social worker who has practiced in multiple setting over the last 18 years and I value the experience of creating trust, empathy and understand in the treatment process. I want each person to feel seen and heard. I believe that healing happens when someone has that experience. I want you to be curious about yourself. It is important to me that you find a way show-up for yourself and others with grace and compassion.

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.
