I believe therapy should not only offer insight but also provide tools that clients can use in their everyday lives. I have a strong interest in supporting individuals who are navigating trauma, stress, and major life transitions.

Together, we work to identify patterns that may be contributing to distress while strengthening self-awareness, confidence, and healthy coping strategies. I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals who have spent much of their lives being strong for others.

Hello, and welcome. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with over 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and improve their emotional well-being. I earned my Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University and have spent my career supporting people through difficult periods while helping them build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

I am Kyra Alston, a LMHC who has been working in the mental health field for over 10 years. I have worked in many settings of the field, but find my most enjoyment has been in working with mothers and women's mental health challenges. Some of my most rewarding work has been helping my client feel like themselves again, tap back into their passion, their interests, their goals, and ultimately, getting to a point where they don't need me anymore. This includes goals such as enjoying their life more overall, changing patterns of interpersonal relationships, and feeling less weighed down by depression and anxiety, social climate, motherhood, all the things.

I am a licensed mental health therapist with many years of experience providing therapy to individuals, adolescents, groups, and occasionally couples in various settings. My experience has led me to connect with many individuals at different phases in their lives who wanted to change something but didn't know how. I have worked with various populations from so many backgrounds, and all that stuck out to me was the disfranchised. A person losing their sense of autonomy and self always left me with that question, "Can I do more?" In my journey as a provider, I want to uplift my clients and remind them they have always had a voice and power that is waiting.

I’m a therapist who has extensive experience working with clients across a wide range of ages and backgrounds.

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.

Our first session is designed to feel relaxed, conversational, and pressure-free.

I also like to make sure you leave knowing what to expect moving forward. My hope is that you walk away feeling seen, heard, and encouraged about the next steps in your healing journey.

Hi, I’m Dr. Shonae Mills, and I’m really glad you’re here. I originally went to school planning to go into medicine because I’ve always wanted to help people, but along the way I realized my heart was truly in counseling. I’ve always loved working with people and learning new things about others and myself, so when I had the opportunity to choose my path, I chose therapy—and I’ve never looked back. I earned my degree over 25 years ago and have been licensed in mental health for more than 20 years. My personal motto is, “How can I help?” and that question guides my work each day. My approach is collaborative and supportive, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help you build practical skills, focus on strengths, and feel empowered to create meaningful change.

You don’t have to be brave in here. Just honest. We’re not chasing better—we’re chasing truer. Are you high-functioning on the outside but feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected on the inside? I work with adults at a crossroads, navigating stress, burnout, life transitions, grief and loss, caregiving strain, and long-standing patterns that no longer fit—people who have been “holding it together” for a long time. (That includes the patterns that show up in family and close connections—without turning your life into a reality show.) My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I use an insight-oriented (psychodynamic) approach to help you understand the roots beneath the pattern—family-of-origin dynamics, protective roles, and the stories you’ve had to live by. I also use psychoeducation to make therapy practical: clear language for what you’re experiencing, tools for boundaries, and ways to respond differently in real life. Therapy here isn’t about performing progress. It’s about telling the truth safely and building steadier ground from there.

When I was a teen, I remember feeling constantly lost and overwhelmed by my own emotions. As a freshman in Highschool, II sought out the school counselor, who ended up not only supporting me through high school, but also encouraged me to support others around me through our "peer support" club. Being a support to my peers was such as fulfilling experience, that when I was a young adult trying to figure out where my life was going, I had decided that I was going to make a career out of supporting others!

Hi There, Perrin here, If you are reading this short bio, I want to first congratulate you on the first step towards self discovery. I was born in The Bronx, NY which has inducted me naturally into a world that did not always make sense. I am mixed with African American and Native American heritage so this has allowed me to be both culturally sensitive as well as unbiased towards the human experience. I have a great appreciation for humanity which has led me to this field and assisting individuals in recognizing their innate abilities to push through tough challenges is my most treasured goal. My practice embodies the three core processes I have concluded to be effective during my 13 years of experience. These processes are; explore, grow, and maintain and through these processes, individuals will understand and explore where they have come from, growing through their experiences, and using the skills along the way in maintaining effective change.
