Good Day. I'm Karen. Learning how to cope with change can be difficult. Are there times where you feel as if friends and family misunderstand you? Do you find yourself struggling with change making it hard to adapt to new environments? If so, I am here to help! I have worked in social services and mental health for over 10 years. As a Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor for over 7 years, I have collaborated with agencies and organizations within New York City area to address the needs of individuals and families; including those who are struggling to heal from the impact of anxiety, depression and various addictions that can cause damage to the lives of both young people and adults alike. When collaborating with an individual, I provide support no matter your socio-economic, cultural, ethnic, educational, and other personal backgrounds. I am particularly sensitive to clients facing moments of transition, such as stress, loss, academic issues, employee issues, coping skills, marriage and family conflict; when the delicate balance can seem to tremble, and symptoms of anxiety, depression, and self-doubt can emerge.

I am a therapist who specializes in Addiction Recovery, Anxiety and Depressive Disorders. I prefer a Biopsychosocial approach to therapy.

I have particular experience working with substance use and recovery, codependency, relationship and family patterns, shame, identity, and harmful or high-control religious experiences.

Seeking greater serenity in your life takes courage. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin.

Hi! I'm Darian, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with 7 years of experience in inpatient and outpatient settings. Throughout my career, I've supported individuals facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, stress, and life transitions. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings they may not feel comfortable sharing anywhere else. While my background includes extensive experience working with men who struggled to open up emotionally, I enjoy working with adults from all walks of life. I am particularly passionate about helping individuals navigate the challenges that often arise in their mid-20s to mid-30s, including relationship concerns, career stress, life transitions, and questions about identity and purpose. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual's needs. I believe meaningful change comes from a combination of self-awareness, personal growth, and practical support. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, build on their strengths, and move through life's challenges with greater confidence and authenticity. Outside of therapy, I enjoy taking photos in nature, playing video games, and spending time with friends and family. These activities help me stay grounded, present, and connected to the things I value most.

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for around 15 years. I am grateful to have found this career because it is my passion. I have mostly worked in the mental health field but also have a few years of experience in drug and alcohol counseling. I can also provide information, education and support from the drug and alcohol field along with my knowledge and training in the mental health field.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 25 years of experience, holding certifications as a Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS), Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC), Positive Behavior Support Facilitator (PBSF), Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC). I provide person-centered counseling to a diverse clientele, focusing on each individual’s unique experiences and perspectives to guide them through challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use.

I will work in sessions to build confidence and resilience to result in better energy and a positive outlook to improve daily functioning and holistic health.

It is super important to meet with a professional that sees and hears you fully, and tailors a working approach that encompasses your needs. Therapy should not be fitting your concerns into one therapy approach, or forcing you to make changes you are not ready to make. I listen closely, and we build an approach together with your empowerment and investment in the process. My approach is warm, flexible, and motivational in nature. I want to learn about you, how you see the world, and how you interact with others. I also focus on areas like attachment, safety, and grounding in therapy. I do not subscribe to the theory that a few quick sessions will have you feeling empowered and amazing. Therapy is a process of intention and focused work, but one that I have observed is worth the self-discovery and healing that can occur. Healing best occurs with encouragement and empowerment in a safe relationship.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on starting your journey, and I’m here to make sure that it is meaningful to you. My approach is client-centered and integrative. I believe in empowering individuals to make positive changes and lead fulfilling lives. I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions, develop coping strategies, and achieve their goals.

My background has been shaped by walking alongside people through some of life’s most difficult and vulnerable experiences. I began working in hospice care, where I learned the importance of presence, compassion, and creating space for grief and meaning at the end of life. From there, I moved into intensive case management and addiction counseling in a methadone clinic, supporting individuals navigating substance use, trauma, and significant life challenges. Over time, my work has focused more deeply on individuals living with complex trauma, dissociation, personality disorders, severe mental illness, and experiences of domestic violence. These experiences have taught me how important it is to move gently, build trust at a pace that feels safe, and truly meet people where they are.

Hi there! I'm assuming you made it to my page because life has gotten particularly difficult and you're searching for some sort of direction or confirmation that "you are not crazy for feeling that way". We are not crazy for feeling - and therapy can help assist you in understanding why some emotions are more difficult to feel than others. Recovery is about learning tolerance; not forgetting and dismissing your experiences. I am experienced in working in both outpatient offices and inpatient hospital settings where I support clients in addressing issues stemming from generational trauma, relationships, grief and loss, life adjustments, substance use / other addictions, anxiety, and serious mental illness. I view therapy as a process that requires learning about vulnerability and accountability and then applying both for results.
