Therapists in 10475

Greetings! Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. I have been practicing in diverse mental health settings for the past 11 years. I have worked with clients across the lifespan: children, adolescents, adults and seniors. I specialize in helping clients with depression, stress and anxiety, family conflicts; self esteem issues, trauma and abuse. I create a safe space that allows clients to be open and forthcoming in a non-judgmental environment. My approach to therapy is strengths based, solution focused ,holistic and supportive. I also value culture sensitivity and how it impacts therapy. My clients leave sessions empowered.

I have 14 years of experience as a social worker and psychotherapist. I have helped clients with depression, major mood disorders, relational issues, and substance use. My work is non-judgmental and client centered and utilize CBT, Psycho-dynamic, and Motivational Interviewing techniques. If you believe you have substance use issues or not sure, why not have a look into the help that is available? I can offer low cost Telehealth sessions for the uninsured.

My personal and professional mission in life is to empower people to be the best version of themselves in every domain of wellness, especially mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I work together with my clients to identify and get to the root of their challenges, so that we can then strategically address the root, and come to a place of healing. I have a particular passion for and expertise in working with children and young adults of color and of Christian faith, via faith-based counseling (as applicable/requested), dealing with issues of self-esteem, fear, anxiety and stress.

My ideal clients are women who may be struggling with their emotions and anxiety. They are looking to change their mindset about somethings in their life, or looking to gain a new perspective on the things that are currently going on. They are open and honest about the things that they want and ready to put the work in to go after what they want for their future!

I am a mental health counselor. I am also a creative (crocheter, painter, musician, etc.), a “nature junkie”, a bibliophile, a friend, a sibling, a third-culture individual, & etc. I say all that to say this, people are complex. We have so many layers to our identities that it’s almost impossible for them not to overlap and sometimes conflict. This intersectionality highlights the importance of viewing people in their entirety. It is my goal to create a welcoming environment that foster’s healthy development in my clients’ lives. At present, Lotus life Mental Health Counseling only provides services to female identifying clients.

My name is Candace. I am a native New Yorker who has met people from all walks of life. My journey into social work and therapy developed from a childhood curiosity about others' journeys and a desire for everyone to be comfortable in their own skin. Every human being on this planet has a story to share and a desire to be understood. I invite everyone to engage in therapy to have this experience. My style is informal and inquisitive. Together, we will create a safe space where you can share and be heard with no judgment. My goal for my clients is to be introspective and practice grace with themselves.

Do you feel emotionally drained by a continuous never-ending cycle? Are you going through a difficult time in life where it seems like nothing has the ability to change the current outcome. You may have tried to encourage yourself to move forward but as soon as you plan to take a step forward it seems like there is no real resolution for the pain you feel. No matter what obstacle(s) you are currently experiencing, there is a solution!

If the past few years have taught us nothing else, it has shown us that we are living in unprecedented and unpredictable times. Maybe the stressors of today have drummed up unresolved issues or traumas that you thought you were passed, or maybe for the first time things are feeling too big to handle on your own. Facing the daily struggles of life can be difficult and create a facade that things will not get better. While your challenges may feel insurmountable right now, I am here to be a support in those times to help guide you through.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, angry, lost, or low in self-esteem? Are you dealing with the heartache or pain of past experiences that trigger negative emotions or behaviors? Are your relationships with your significant other, family, friends, or co-workers strained, or do you feel overwhelmed with handling problems? If you answered yes to any of these questions, it sounds like you need support during this time. You can rely on me to support you with overcoming every obstacle you are facing. Together, we'll figure out how things got to this point and I will help you achieve your goals at your own pace.

Change is never easy. We seldom know where to start. Acknowledgement is the first step. Seeking assistance is the second. Let me guide you on that journey to wellness. As your therapist, it is my honor to work with you to formalize a plan that's best for you. Therapy is a relationship that when done properly, can reshape lives, and bring new perspectives to an issue. For the past 15 years, I have worked with adolescents and families. I enjoy getting to the heart of the situation and I'm not afraid to address "the elephant in the room". I am also a certified Hypnotherapist. This modality works really well for anxiety and phobias.

I am a licensed Psychotherapist and I help people manage problems. Those problems can be long standing or the result of recent life stressors or events. I offer the benefit of what I have learned through years of experience, education and training, in assisting individuals and couples to improve their lives. My hope is that you will allow me to help you be the best version of you in your life journey.

Are you feeling lost or stuck in your career, in college or in your relationships? Do you feel like you “gotta get it together” and are trying to figure out what your next steps should be? You probably already have what it takes and we can figure it out so you can be a better YOU! Our past experiences, societal oppression and our own internal dialogues can place these barriers that make us feel hurt and stagnant in our lives. In our work together, we will work on ways to understand these barriers, heal from them and learn how to gain a more fulfilling life.

The goal of therapy is to assist clients in achieving an increased sense of independence. To learn to act rather than react and approach life not as victims but as survivors.

A travez de mi experiencia y alianza terapeutica con el paciente puedo orientar al pacient a desarrollar su maximo potencial para alcanzar sus metas y adaptarse a su nuevo estilo de vida en este pais. Ayudo a mis pacientes a mejorar sus relaciones interpersonales, habilidades de padres, el control de la ira y el manejo de las emociones.

Over the years, I have been privileged to assist individuals from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns. Whether it's helping individuals overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship difficulties, I am committed to providing a safe and nonjudgmental space for personal growth and healing.
