I’m a licensed psychotherapist who blends practical tools with a calm, trauma-informed approach. I help adults and couples reduce anxiety, improve communication, and feel steadier in their bodies and relationships. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. You’ll get clear goals, gentle structure, and skills you can use between sessions. My work draws from attachment theory, CBT/ACT, IFS-informed parts work, and somatic regulation so change is felt, not just understood. Clients describe me as grounding and thoughtful; they leave sessions with language for what they’re feeling and simple steps to move forward. I’m culturally responsive and sensitive to faith, family roles, and identity. You don’t have to explain your background to be understood here. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of patterns, and build flexible habits that support the life you want.

Welcome! I'm Debra Sollitto. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from New York. I graduated from New York University with a Master's Degree in Social Work. I have been treating clients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and various other psychiatric conditions for almost 30 years. Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions, build self-awareness, and develop practical tools for personal and relational growth. In my work with individuals, I help clients identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck and guide them toward healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating. Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship challenges, I focus on helping you gain insight and build the confidence to make positive, lasting changes. With families, my approach centers on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and fostering understanding.

I believe growth happens when clients feel safe, heard, and supported. My role is to provide guidance, encouragement, and a structured space for reflection and change.

Trauma and PTSD
Walesca Marmolejos is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and has over a decade of experience working with individuals and groups across the lifespan. Walesca's approach is holistic, relational, collaborative, and trauma informed. Walesca is also a certified yoga instructor who believes in focusing on the whole individual (mind AND body), not just their circumstances. Walesca's approach is open, relational, and collaborative. An environment that is safe and non-judgmental, where a person can develop a sense of trust and well-being is a priority and of utmost importance. Together, we take a deeply personal journey, exploring possibilities and facing what has been difficult. The goal is to help you heal and guide you toward increased self-knowledge and emotional comfort. Walesca offers supportive counseling and psychotherapy for individuals including children/adolescents dealing with stress, depression, grief and loss, and family issues and one of my chief areas of interest is in the field of trauma. I offer evening hours and virtual sessions only.

I support adults and young adults who carry the effects of past trauma, chronic stress, or emotionally overwhelming experiences. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, constant tension, difficulty regulating emotions, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t reflect who they want to be. I use trauma-informed therapy and nervous system regulation techniques to help you feel safer in your body, calmer in your mind, and more in control of your reactions. I am also trained in EMDR for clients seeking targeted trauma processing. Together, we work toward easing anxiety, releasing old patterns, and creating a steadier way of moving through your life.

I am a non-dualistic therapist but before any label, I am a human being who experiences the same ups, downs, emotions and life challenges as every other human does at some point. So, I understand and work from the perspective of our sameness. I listen to each clients unique story and use my skills and intuition to assist each to inquire what is actually happening from the minds point of view so that they can consider alternative ways of thinking and navigating whatever they are struggling with.

My path to becoming a therapist started as a teenager. I was always passionate about helping others and getting to the root of how to help with solving their problems. As a teen, I worked in the behavioral health unit of a local clinic. I aspired to be like one of the therapists or nurse practitioners there. Seeing clients come in for their appointments and being able to sit in on certain group sessions was all so exciting for me. I have always been attracted to the field of psychology, which I majored in for my undergraduate degree. It was my abnormal psych class in undergrad that changed my life forever. I will never forget being so drawn to and interested in the different mental health disorders in the DSM. I spoke with my professor after class and asked how I could work with individuals who experienced mental health concerns. She mentioned obtaining a degree in mental health counseling and then a license. So, I completed grad school and obtained my license.
