There is a moment in every person’s story when something says, “I can’t keep doing this the same way.” That moment matters. It may be quiet, messy, unexpected, or long overdue—but it can also be the beginning of something different. After more than 20 years in behavioral health and over 11 years as a clinician, I’ve learned that therapy is not about having all the answers. It’s about having a place to stop, breathe, tell the truth about where you are, and discover where you want to go next.

I am a License Mental Health Counselor in New York and Florida that works with marital counseling clients and those experiencing relationship issues and who are struggling with their sense of self confidence. My ideal client is someone who is committed to the process of self-introspection and wants to be held accountable to reach their goals. I specialize in counseling women and men on self-esteem, worth & actualization. I also support clients affected by bullying, narcissistic abuse as well as those dealing with complicated grief. As your therapist, I will assist you in discovering or uncovering yourself. This might mean realizing some difficult truths about your personality and behavior patterns, tapping into your strengths, and identifying what coping skills work for you. Or, it might mean working through emotional pain, trauma, or barriers that prevent you from being your best self. In my years of experience, I have found that once a person’s authentic identity has been discovered through therapy, clients can accept who they are, confidently speak up for themselves and understand themselves with greater perspective. Usually this leads to healthier relationship choices and dynamics. I will help you to learn more about yourself and make realistic changes.

Hello! I’m Crystal a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based care.

I know how easy it can be to put yourself last while caring for everyone around you, and I believe that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
As a therapist, I strive to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without pressure, shame, or the expectation that you have everything figured out. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, motherhood, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, my goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported.
My approach is warm, genuine, and strengths-based.

You don't have to carry everything alone. Therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, heal, and grow—and I would be honored to walk alongside you in that journey.

Hi. I am an experienced Masters Level social worker who returned to train for my LCSW in my late 40's early 50's. Prior to that, I was a 35 year veteran of hospital based, social work and crisis intervention. This combined experience, forged a professional style based upon helping people cope with unspeakable suffering, loss and drastic life changes. This has helped shape how I approach psychotherapy in that I have seen time and time again that no pain is too great to be lessened and that there is always a solution, even small, that can help transform a life into something better. I believe that therapy works best when there is a working combination of insight and action and much of my work will involve helping you identify a next right step in addressing the challenges you face.

Hi, I'm so glad you're here.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to figure things out on your own. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the need to have it all together.
With over 14 years of experience, I work with adolescents, college students, and adults navigating anxiety, eating disorders, life transitions, identity, relationships, and the unique challenges that come with being an athlete. As an LGBTQ+ identifying therapist, I'm committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space where you feel seen, respected, and supported.
I take a warm, collaborative, and holistic approach to therapy, blending evidence-based practices with an understanding of how our mental, emotional, and physical well-being are all connected. When it fits your goals, I also incorporate an integrative nutrition perspective to support your overall wellness.
Outside the therapy room, you'll usually find me running, dancing, or horseback riding. As an athlete myself, I understand the highs, lows, and pressures that can come with performance, balance, and caring for both your mind and body.
I believe therapy is about more than getting through hard moments—it's about building a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and sustainable. Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to walk it alone. I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

Whether your child is having bigger emotions lately, struggling with confidence, navigating friendships, feeling pressure at school, or just not seeming like themselves, therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and build tools that actually fit their life.

I graduated from Binghamton University with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and completed an M.S.Ed in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at St. John's University.
I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy, which will help you learn the tools to challenge patterns of thinking that leave you feeling stuck. By learning these skills, you will be more equipped to manage difficult relationships and tackle stressful life events. By shifting to an internal locus of control, you will finally begin to feel a sense of autonomy over your life.

I have worked extensively with individuals facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use and recovery, childhood and relational trauma, men’s issues, self worth, identity struggles, and relationship difficulties.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and supportive. I focus on meeting you where you are and working together to untangle what feels overwhelming, while giving you tools that create real change. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes but about building a life that feels balanced, meaningful, and authentic.
I also understand the importance of creativity and personal expression. My background in the arts has shown me how vital it is to have outlets for what we carry inside. Many of my clients are artists, performers, and writers, but creativity is not required. What matters is that you are a human being with a story, and I am here to help you move forward with strength and clarity.
When we work together you will find a therapist who listens without judgment, asks thoughtful questions, and collaborates with you to find solutions that fit your life. I look forward to meeting you, learning your story, and helping you take the next step toward healing and growth.

As a first-generation American from a multicultural immigrant background, Victoria understands the unique pressures of identity, family expectations, and navigating spaces where you may feel like you have to work twice as hard to maintain your success. She supports clients in processing these experiences while building confidence, boundaries, and a stronger sense of self.
Victoria has over 15 years of experience in the mental health field and has worked across inpatient, outpatient, and community-based settings in New York City. She has extensive experience treating anxiety, burnout, depression, life transitions, and high-functioning stress.

What happens during the first therapy session?
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.
