I am a dedicated and caring Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified EMDR Trauma Therapist, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional in the States of Georgia and New York, with over 15 years of clinical experience in the mental health field. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, grief and loss, mood disorders, personality disorders and family relationships. I am fully multilingual and offer therapy in English, Spanish and Portuguese. I am originally from the Dominican Republic where I first graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology. From an early age I was called into the mental health field in a society where mental illness was stigmatized and a forbidden topic. This calling and life mission led me to spending decades studying Neurosciences, Psychology and Trauma Treatment. I hold a Master of Science degree in Neurosciences and a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, as well as Certifications in Trauma Treatment and advanced trainings in EMDR Therapy, IFS therapy, Contextual Therapy, among others . Understanding the human experience with trauma, pain and loss and witnessing how through therapy healing is possible, has been the seal of a lifelong legacy. As a psychotherapist I practice a holistic and integrative approach and work mainly from a psychodynamic, trauma informed and neuroscientific and systemic perspective, based on the evidence of how trauma impacts the body and brain, and the awareness that in order to create lasting change and heal trauma wounds we must create insight and integrate past and present while establishing a secure connection with ourselves and in relationship with our significant others. It is now my honor to be your therapist. As your therapist it is my goal to guide you through your journey of internal growth and lasting healing.

I began my counseling career in 1991 working with individuals experiencing substance abuse and legal problems. This experience propelled my desire to become a clinical social worker. I earned a masters degree in social work in 1998 and have been a licensed clinical social worker since 2004. Over the last 20 years I have had the satisfaction and pleasure of counseling men, women, children, families and groups ranging in ages from 9 to 90 years old. They have been from Caucasian, African-American, Asian-Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern and Hispanic races and cultures. I have worked with people in various stages of their lives. I have provided counseling in community and mental health clinics, military installations and the Department of Veterans Affair’s Readjustment Counseling Service. Most of my career has been in outpatient environments. I am well versed and experienced in supporting clients experiencing a variety of problems. I will coordinate with medical and psychiatric providers and have a sound knowledge of the medications that are used by these providers to treat these problems. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you and help you out!

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and Florida. I have 30 years experience in the helping profession and 7 years as a therapist. I believe that insight without action leads to stagnation and frustration. It is valuable to talk about problems and issues but without a plan of action, clients often become discouraged. Much of my work will involve helping you identify a next right step in addressing challenges.

Hey! I'm Shay and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York , Florida, Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina and I specialize in anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I was born and raised in NYC. I serve individuals and couples between the ages of 18-60 who struggle with communication skills, boundary settings, family and relationship challenges among other challenges who are ready and willing to begin their healing journey. I work with people who feel stuck in their own mind—overthinking, second-guessing, or constantly on edge. If you’re dealing with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or OCD patterns, you might already know how exhausting it can be to try to “logic” your way out of it and still feel out of control. That’s where we take a different approach. I specialize in treating anxiety and OCD using evidence-based approaches like ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), helping you gradually face fears in a way that actually reduces their power over time. I also work with high-functioning professionals and military members who are used to pushing through—but are now feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or disconnected. My style is direct, supportive, and real. I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods—I’ll help you understand what’s happening and give you tools that actually make a difference. If you’re ready to feel more in control and less stuck, we can start there.

Hi! Thank you for being here and taking the first step to internal healing. You may look like you're holding everything together, but internally feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can't seem to shift. If this sounds like you, you're not alone and you don't have to navigate these feelings by yourself. I am a licensed clinical social worker who provides a warm, thoughtful, and grounded therapeutic space for adults navigating life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that no longer serve them. I believe therapy should feel both supportive and empowering so you can feel heard, understood, and gently challenged to grow.

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.
