Greetings. My name is Dr. Nancy Adegoke and I am a NY and NJ licensed psychologist as well as State of Florida telehealth provider who has been practicing in diverse mental health settings for the past 20 years. I have worked with clients across the lifespan: children, adolescents, adults and seniors. I specialize in treating clients experiencing mood disorders, trauma, relationship and family issues, work-related problems and chronic illness. I also have training and experience working with first responders, veterans, older adults, and college students.

When you are physically ill you turn to your doctor, hoping they can help you feel better. Problems like depression, anxiety, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, guilt, or low self-confidence can be as painful, if not more so, than physical illness; they can also create serious relationship and work difficulties. I have over 25 years of experience and I have helped many adults, adolescents, and couples who had received limited or no benefit from previous therapists, other doctors, or medications. I work well with people who are skeptical of, or intimidated by, talk therapy.

I am a clinical psychologist and BCBA-D and have worked for 19+ years with people seeking new ways of interacting, coping with grief and pain, better managing stress, expressing their individuality and creativity, and living more authentically. The therapeutic relationship is central to my work; I strive to be a reliable, compassionate, and informed partner. I believe an alliance based on trust, built over time, is essential to healing. My approach is creative, compassionate and practical. Together we will find meaningful solutions based on careful listening and a deep understanding of your concerns.

Hello! I am a postdoctoral psychologist working with adults and older adolescents who are seeking relief from symptoms of depression and anxiety, loneliness, low self-esteem, compulsive thoughts and behaviors, or a sense of being disconnected from themselves or their bodies. They may wish to work through confusion about aspects of their identity, untangle from self-defeating interpersonal patterns, or heal from traumas ranging from physical and sexual abuse to invasive medical procedures. I have a special interest in women’s sexual health and wellness and can work with those interested in exploring this vital dimension of living.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist that provides teletherapy sessions to adults in New York. My general approach is humanistic, kind, and collaborative. I offer tools and techniques to help clients overcome challenges, draw on personal strengths and enhance their ability to better navigate their lives.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York and New Jersey who provides individual psychotherapy to older adolescents and adults in English and Korean. I specialize in treating relational difficulties, depression, anxiety, trauma (emotional, physical, and sexual abuse and neglect), as well as stress and trauma related to immigration, racial and ethnic identity, as well as other identity issues. My approach to therapy is integrative, utilizing elements from various modalities, such as psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).

Are you navigating life transitions (career, health, relational) and identity explorations (LGBTQ+, giftedness and neurodivergence, culture, creativity, activism)? Does anxiety influence your experience of intimacy, meaning, and vitality? Processing all of this in a safe space can reveal the powerful possibilities within new chapters of life.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in New York and New Jersey. I provide psychotherapy to adults and children in both English and Mandarin Chinese (普通话). I offer individual and family/couple psychotherapy with a focus on depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and intense emotional states, such as fear, anger, hopelessness, and shame. I work with people who have survived trauma and other deep emotional wounds, as well as those going through life transitions, such as becoming a parent, entering a new job or relationship, break ups, or the complexities of adjusting to life in a new culture and society.

Ever found yourself tangled up in cultural concerns, grappling with anxiety, or navigating the intricate terrain of life transitions? While I collaborate with individuals across all age groups, I have a special focus on young adults navigating the exhilarating yet sometimes overwhelming journey into adulthood. Envision our sessions as a secure sanctuary, a place where we unravel the complexities of your thoughts and emotions, discover your authentic self, and initiate a path that harmonizes with your dreams. The essence lies in fostering self-awareness, resilience, and empowerment.

I specialize in providing neurodiverse-affirming therapy. What does this mean? It means that my therapeutic approach is to help you embrace your differences while still trying to navigate a neurotypical world and expectations. Usually, the clients I see in my practice are adults who have trouble navigating life transitions and are usually on the spectrum of ADHD, Autism, OCD, Anxiety, and/or Depression. I don’t believe people necessarily fit in a neat little box that is labeled with a mental health diagnosis. I don’t believe that a diagnosis should be a means to an end for treatment. There’s no one size fits all treatment.

“Am I capable of overcoming this?” is a question those struggling with anxiety or grief may ask. You feel exhausted from carrying the weight of the world and cannot pull yourself out of the gravitational pull of habits, coping skills, or relationships that add more weight. If struggling with anxiety, this may be a familiar dance you wish to stop, or if dealing with grief related to the loss of a loved one, this may be a new dance you wish never started. Whichever is you, no wonder it seems impossible to overcome these obstacles continually thrown your way, yet there is a possibility – and I am here to support you in that discovery.

Life can be challenging at times! Feeling stuck is a hard place to be. Perhaps you're struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions or relationship challenges. Maybe stress, trauma, or parenting issues are weighing heavily on your mind. Know that you don't have to face these struggles alone and I am here to help you.

By visiting this site, you’ve taken a brave and bold step towards feeling better. You might feel paralyzed with fear, guilt, or sadness; maybe you’re dealing with constant ruminating thoughts, or maybe you’re going through a difficult transition. Regardless, I’m on your team, and I’m here to help. You can expect me to approach therapy in a collaborative and YOU centered way. This means we’re partners in your treatment. We’ll work together to learn what’s wrong, create goals, and to move you towards feeling better.

I have over 9 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults of all ages in individual, family, couples, and group psychotherapy. Clients see me for a wide range of issues. I have worked with challenges regarding identity development, relationships, trauma, depression/anxiety, addictions, suicidality, self-harm, anger management, compulsive behaviors, autism, and ADHD among many other things. I've also worked extensively in supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, BIPOC, and those dealing with systemic inequities and challenges.

I bring experience working with a broad range of individuals, from adolescents to older adults, including those who are seeking mental health treatment for the first time as well as those more familiar with the positive life changes that can be achieved through therapy. I have worked with patients experiencing a wide range of issues, such as depression and anxiety, major life transitions, grief and loss, work, family and relationship stress, complex trauma (abuse, neglect, exposure to violence) ,as well as those coping with severe mental illness, and addiction.

Authenticity is the core value of my approach to therapy. I am a born and raised New Yorker who understands firsthand being skeptical of the work in therapy, especially when leaning outside of your comfort zone. If you're reading this, you may be in a place where you're ready to do just that... It may be that all of your past experiences are a weight that you carry around everywhere. The more troublesome of these experiences could create barriers to having fulfilling relationships with others and can make it hard to be with yourself.

I treat issues of mood and anxiety as well as more complex issues involving substance use and trauma. I also have special expertise in personal goal-setting; cannabis dependence; and creative, gifted, and/or talented youth and adults with mood, underachievement, or multipotentiality issues. I work from a harm-reduction perspective and use a holistic lens to address problems. Using a mix of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and a systems view, I assess and address sleep hygiene, daily habits, personal relationships, and coping skills, and incorporate mindfulness and exercise into all treatment planning.

I am a licensed psychologist who works with adults in individual psychotherapy. I have experience working with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, substance abuse, disordered eating, and life stress. Whatever you may be facing, my goal as your therapist is to accurately understand you, your unique strengths and goals, and to explore what is at the heart of your challenges. I would also seek to build an authentic, caring, and supportive relationship within which you feel heard and safe. From this foundation my approach to psychotherapy will be tailored to you and your unique needs.
