I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience helping adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical—I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely understood, supported, and challenged to grow. As someone who has personally navigated major life transitions, including divorce, career changes, parenting, and rebuilding after difficult seasons, I understand that healing and growth are rarely linear. I combine evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, attachment-based therapy, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy with empathy, humor, and real-world problem-solving. I work particularly well with high-achieving individuals who appear successful on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, relationship challenges, self-doubt, stress, or feelings of disconnection. My goal is to help clients gain insight, develop practical skills, strengthen relationships, and create a more fulfilling and authentic life.

In my decade+ experience as a therapist, I've learned that the most important element of therapy is relationship. I bring my personality to our sessions, sharing my coirkiness, playfulness, celebration of my clients, and compassion for my clients' journeys. With relationship as a foundation, I always listen to intuition for what might need attention, exploration, and care. My passion is offering clients tools like EMDR, guided meditations, and hypnosis to assist them in contacting deeper parts of themselves and their own wisdom to confront the big challenges of life.

Hi, I’m Shay Mitchell, LCSW. As your therapist, my goal is to offer a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. My role is to walk alongside you as we make sense of your experiences, uncover the patterns that are holding you back, and build the emotional tools you need to move forward with clarity and confidence. In our work together, I combine evidence-based approaches—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and person-centered techniques with a warm, collaborative style. I believe that healing grows from a strong therapeutic relationship, where you feel safe enough to explore difficult emotions and empowered enough to imagine something different for your future. You are the expert in your own life; my job is to guide, support, and help you develop new ways of understanding yourself and the world around you. Clients often come to me during seasons of transition, emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, relationship stress, or when old wounds begin to resurface. Together, we’ll identify what’s no longer serving you and create a plan that feels manageable and aligned with your values. Whether we’re working to reduce anxiety, strengthen boundaries, improve emotional regulation, or heal from past experiences, I approach your growth with compassion, curiosity, and respect. Therapy with me is both reflective and practical. You’ll gain insight into your patterns, but you’ll also learn real skills—tools you can use in your everyday life to feel more grounded, more in control, and more connected to yourself. My hope is that through our work, you discover your own resilience, rebuild trust in yourself, and feel empowered to create the life you truly want. You don’t have to do this alone.

I work with individuals, couples, families, and youth. I also have experience working with individuals with serious mental illness and chronic medical conditions. My approach is a welcoming and supportive one. I see therapy has a collaborative journey. Through exploration with you, I strive to help you find and understand yourself on a deeper level, to become aware of the areas in your life that may be impacting you, and help you better cope with life’s many challenges, in an open, non-judgmental, safe space.

Rita LaBrew, LMFT, brings a depth of experience spanning foster care, child welfare, private practice, and telehealth. I offer a collaborative therapy space grounded in clinical skill and evidence-informed care. I tailor treatment to each client’s goals, helping individuals build insight, resilience, and lasting change. I work with adults willing to look inward and reflect on their inner lives. My approach integrates psychodynamic therapy and psychoeducation to help clients understand how past experiences, unconscious patterns, and present thoughts shape emotions and behavior. By offering clarity, language, and insight, therapy becomes a space for understanding, steadiness, and meaningful change over time. My style is thoughtful, 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.

“Adulting” can feel overwhelming—especially when anxiety, relationship challenges, or major life transitions are in the mix. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I specialize in supporting young adults, college students, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are facing these exact struggles. Whether you are feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of your next steps, you are not alone—and you do not have to figure it out by yourself. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all therapy or positioning myself as the expert with all the answers.

Hi, I’m Valerie, and I specialize in complex/developmental trauma and grief. I work primarily with women navigating childhood trauma, complicated family dynamics, narcissistic abuse, and what it means to move through life without the support they should have had. I also work with young adults who have experienced the loss of one or both parents. Many of my clients are used to being the "strong one" -- the one who holds everything together, even while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted underneath. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to do that anymore. I use EMDR and Induced After Death Communication therapies to help process experiences that feel stuck, not just intellectually, but emotionally and physically. This work goes beyond talking about what happened; we focus on helping your system actually shift so those experiences no longer carry the same weight. I have a particular passion for working with grief, including the kind that isn’t always recognized—like estrangement, losing a parent (emotionally or physically), or becoming an adult without the support you needed. I don’t believe grief is something you “get over,” but something you learn to carry differently. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fordham University and my Bachelor of Social Work from Adelphi University, graduating summa cum laude from both. I began my work in a community mental health clinic and later worked in several private practices before opening my own.

I believe that therapy is most successful when the therapist-client rapport is strong and grounded in empathy, respect, and understanding. I specialize in helping high-achieving individuals who want to empower themselves to overcome low self-esteem, body image issues, and eating concerns. I also address mood challenges, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I offer high-quality, evidence-based therapy that is tailored to you: a combination of insights, practical tools, and a deeper understanding of your attachment style will be incorporated into your therapy. Because one size does not fit all, your therapy will include consistent check-ins to understand what is working well, which modalities you prefer, and which goals are most important to you.

I am a licensed therapist, educator, and mediator with more than 30 years of professional experience helping people navigate life’s challenges, transitions, and personal growth. My work is grounded in the belief that mental health does not exist in isolation, it is influenced by our relationships, environments, physical well-being, communities, and life experiences. I take a Total Health approach, helping clients understand the connections between mind, body, relationships, and the systems that shape their daily lives. My style is warm, collaborative, and practical, creating a space where clients can gain insight, build resilience, and move toward meaningful and lasting change.

I’m a therapist committed to creating a space where you feel seen, supported, and able to show up as your full self. I understand that life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when you’re balancing responsibilities, navigating relationships, or managing stress that others may not always see. My goal is to provide a space where you can slow down, process your experiences, and begin to feel more grounded and in control. I use a collaborative and client-centered approach, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support both insight and meaningful change. Whether we’re identifying unhelpful patterns or working through past experiences that still feel present, I aim to meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels right for you. My background in public health and community-based work allows me to understand how personal experiences are often shaped by larger systems and environments. I value culturally responsive care and strive to create an inclusive space where all aspects of your identity are respected. Therapy with me is a space for growth, healing, and building practical tools you can carry into your everyday life.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
