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.

It's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed when you begin your search for a new therapist. Congratulations on taking the first step! Feeling the pressures of everyday life, struggling with ‘imposter syndrome,’ flooded with thoughts that you’re not meeting your own expectations (or someone else’s)? These are just a few of the areas I commonly support clients with. I regularly work with young adults and professionals coping with recent life changes and/or stressors that are impacting their ability to: concentrate, engage with others or maintain meaningful relationships or manage their emotional state. When a person is ready, I assist them in exploring and identifying their strengths, and the skills they can apply to their current stressors while introducing healthier coping skills to trial. Since obtaining my license in New York as an LMHC ten years ago, I have been supporting clients struggling with stress and anxiety symptoms, coping with substance use struggles, relationship issues, and trauma and abuse. I am a certified Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC), as well as an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider. I recognize that individuals struggling with their substance use or to manage their ADHD symptoms face a unique set of obstacles when looking for support.

Hi, I'm Tara! I provide teletherapy for young adults who want to learn skills for navigating relationship issues and managing anxiety and stress. Virtual therapy offers the convenience of prioritizing your mental health, even with a busy schedule. I help my clients build self-esteem, cultivate confidence, and work through relationship challenges, empowering them to become their best selves. Life transitions can be overwhelming, but you don't have to face them alone. Therapy can provide the support and guidance you deserve.

Hello! I’m Aida Valerio. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who found my calling 11 years ago having discovered that I wanted to provide people with a therapeutic space to heal, grow, and ultimately transform. Are you going through a personal challenge or major life transition? Do you need a safe space to have your experiences affirmed and validated? Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions and in need of support? Have you considered speaking to someone but are unsure of how to begin? Wherever you are in your journey, I want to congratulate you on exploring possibilities to receive help. Therapy, like anything new or unknown, can feel scary. When Wendy was learning how to fly in Peter Pan, her fear of “what if I fall?” was met with Peter’s response of “oh, darling, what if you fly?” Not only did she fly, but she also transformed. My therapeutic approach is gentle, warm, and trauma-informed to ensure your comfort every step of the way. I listen attentively and non-judgmentally, welcoming your authentic self. You can express yourself in English and/or Spanish as I am fluent in both languages.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I have worked with clients presenting with a variety of therapy concerns. I work with clients on helping them identify the concerns they would like to work on. We come up with therapy goals to help address those concerns. We discuss how to address those goals and how to prioritize those goals so that we can work on things in a manageable manner.
