As a bilingual (English/Spanish) License Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) to adults, Couples, and families my goal is to assist you in finding the right path for you and/or your family. I provide Psychotherapy for depression, anxiety and adjustment disorders for marital conflict/couples, individual's, adolescents, and families. For those interested, we can incorporate a holistic approach with meditation and breathing techniques into our psychotherapy sessions, which have been shown to be effective in treating anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Life is beautiful! Living is painful! Our challenge is to make meaning out of the sound and the fury and find peace and satisfaction where we can. Let's explore the thoughts and emotions that shape your inner experience, and notice how these inform the actions that you manifest in the world. The tension among these aspects of experience can be the root source of much confusion and suffering. Productive therapeutic work supports our efforts to find loving acceptance of what lies within, which enables us to act more authentically and effectively as we move through the world.

You’re a highly sensitive person who struggles with depression and anxiety. You need therapy that’s as “outside the box” as you are. As a therapist for 20 years, & an artist myself, I get that being creative can feel like both a blessing & a curse. Your unique mind is what makes you you, but it can come with feeling overlooked, misunderstood, & told you’re “too much”. Overwhelming emotions make it hard to function & keep going, especially if nothing has helped before. With a variety of creative, innovative techniques that go beyond words, I’ll help you work through these blocks to unlock your confidence, clarity & creative flow.

I strive to create a supportive and collaborative environment in which you can access your inherent strengths and find the answers that are right for you. Whether you're feeling depressed or anxious, going through a difficult life transition, experiencing grief or bereavement or simply wanting to understand yourself and the choices you make in a deeper way, psychotherapy can help.

Deep connection, trust, and good fit will allow us to collaborate on your most complex issues and areas for personal growth. Using multiple therapeutic techniques, we will co-create a plan. I connect with and share intense emotional experiences in a safe, healing relationship. I am especially attuned to dimensions of difference and identity and strive to meet my clients where they are. During your initial consultation, your questions will be primary, and together we will clarify your goals, and problems to address. It is paramount that our plan feels clear and comfortable, knowing that we will revisit and adjust it over time.

Hello, I am LaToya J. Johnson, an NYS Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of counseling experience. I have provided care to individuals with chronic mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, PTSD, racial identity issues, relationship concerns, intellectual disabilities, and substance abuse. The most common theoretical approaches I use in my work are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma Informed Care, and Person Center Therapy. I believe every person has a right to live a happy and fulfilled life.

Is it time for a change? Do you feel depressed, anxious, stuck, or angry? Do past experiences negatively impact the present? Do you need a safe place to feel listened to and supported? At times, we all find ourselves feeling lost and afraid. Things in our lives may not be going in a desired way or we may find that we come up against the same issues time and again. Life can sometimes be overwhelming and painful. You may feel like things will never get better or that change is out of reach. I believe that the trials of life can be tremendous opportunities for growth.

I specialize in the treatment of what are often interconnected problems (mood and anxiety disorders, chronic pain, and trauma), as well as the treatment of behaviors that can develop in response, such as substance use (in an effort to self-medicate). I believe we all do the best we can to cope with pain, using whatever skills we have available. And yet sometimes our best efforts to avoid suffering can serve to keep us stuck retreading the same paths. Step by step, let's venture forward in our work together, letting suffering subside as we uncover meaning, learning to live more full and valued lives.

Hello! I am a sex-positive, sexuality and gender identity-affirming therapist working with individuals, couples and partners. I work with people at any stage of coming out and living. I am easy to talk to about non-traditional relationship models, such as polyamory and kink. With couples and partners I often coach empathic listening and validation skills, and then experiment with relationship agreements to serve you better.

At the heart of my work, I believe the relationship is key to supporting my clients. It is essential to me that I build trust with my client so they can feel seen and understood. In a world where so many of my friends and family have had a hard time finding a therapist that works for them, I prioritize this. People want to show up to a session where they can connect, be heard and not feel judged. I practice cultural humility and empathy with an understanding that our lives are imperfect. I have supported my clients through a range of issues from anxiety, to executive functioning and managing a challenging time in their life.

Although some struggle is an inevitable part of life, there is the danger of accepting continual pain & struggle as "the way life is". This way of thinking can keep a person trapped, unable to even imagine what "better" would look like. Therapy offers a way out. For some, the traumas suffered in the past make it difficult to find happiness. Others may find themselves behaving in ways that leave them feeling worse, or once again in the same hurtful relationships. Some may be consumed with regrets about past mistakes, or filled with fear of the future, missing opportunities to live well in the present.

Are you seeking to understand long-held patterns that you aren't sure why you keep repeating? Are you looking to do deeper work, and get to the root? Are you seeking support as you try to navigate difficult interpersonal relationships or work challenges? Are you going through a difficult life change and unsure of where to turn? Are you feeling taken advantage of and seeking to strengthen boundaries? I would love to help you discover more about yourself and support you in the process. My style is warm, open and interactive. I view the therapy relationship as a partnership, and together we can work toward your goals.

I work with folk who are seeking to have a deeper, more positive connection with themselves and others. You have many amazing qualities including strength, intellect, wit, sense of humor, and generosity. Maybe you are struggling to effectively handle conflict or feel a heavy weight on your shoulders causing unhappiness, questioning relationships. Perhaps you want a deeper self connection that will foster healthy relational patterns with others. During our weekly sessions we explore your story and find the roots to the difficulties whilst empowering you with skills (in the now) and resources to disrupt unhealthy patterns in your life

I am a curious, creative and compassionate therapist. My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, believing all individuals have the right to be heard, respected and seen. I enjoy partnering with adults to provide a safe space where they can express themselves. I work well with people who are looking to discover more about themselves, their values, building boundaries and how to walk through the world with more independence. I also work with those who have a history with adverse religious experiences, including LGBTQIA+ folx, who are learning to trust themselves and their bodies. Bonus if you have a creative streak!

​"Let your hope which is your highest good and highest ability lead the way and serve you as a guide in the world of darkness" - C.G. Jung. Therapy nurtures the power of the human spirit and its vast capacity for development and transformation. My approach emphasizes compassion and communication as key components in building, healing, and maintaining healthy relationships. I believe that encouragement, understanding, knowledge and action promote growth in the family system and in each individual family member.

My counseling style is warm, caring, and interactive. I create a safe, stigma-free environment where all clients are treated with respect, dignity, and compassion. I work to form a treatment plan in coordination with the client so that we can have the most successful counseling relationship possible.
