"Be easy. take your time. you are coming home to yourself.-Nayyirah Waheed. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York, I like to bring a culturally and identity affirming, trauma informed lens to my work with clients. As a socially conscious Queer, Neurodivergent, Non-binary, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Color), I take deliberate care to recognize, respect and celebrate all of the identities of my clients. By slowing down, we are able to find and care for the parts of ourselves that are often hidden, ignored, and might even be hurting the most.

I work with individuals who are seeking comfort and evidence based models to deal with their anxieties, life stressors, trauma, depression, family and relationship issues, and ADHD. I use empathetic listening, trauma informed and a strength based approach to help individuals meet the goals that they want to meet. These goals could be how to live each day and to learn how to prioritize themselves and their mental health. Being fluent in American Sign Language and being a CODA, I am familiar with the struggles that Deaf individuals face and the uniqueness of being raised in Deaf culture.

Since graduating from New York University with an MSW degree, I have been working as a psychotherapist. My clinical approach combines cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and a strengths-based process to trigger goal-oriented actions. I am DBT informed and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have extensive experience with individual, family, couples, and group therapies. I am fluent in American Sign Language and have worked closely with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities. I see a mix of Deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing clientele of all ages.

I am a dedicated mental health practitioner with experience in treating individuals who have encountered a vast array of symptoms, extensive diagnoses and concerns related to complications of life. In practice, my objective is to provide clients with support and encouragement in a therapeutic environment while guiding individuals to foster personal growth. I am equipped to incorporate American Sign Language and other forms of nonverbal communication when it is deemed appropriate. I strive to offer an environment in which clients feel comfortable and confident in themselves and with the therapeutic services they receive.

Hello everyone, please welcome and allow me to first begin in thanking you. The choice to start therapy isn’t always easy, sometimes it is the most difficult thing to do is to even consider it, then admit you want/need it before even taking the steps to start, but you are not alone on this journey. Perhaps there has been times that you have found yourself feeling stressed, down, lacking confidence, or stuck in a pattern that no longer serves you. Perhaps you’re ready to take steps toward changes but feel stuck or unsure where to start. Or even feeling lost in your relationships in life or even disconnected from them.

Welcome! I’m a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) specializing in working with adults 30+ with anxiety, ADHD and substance use. I collaborate with clients around stress management, mindfulness, and the relationship between physical & mental health. I’m especially passionate about guiding those with demanding careers & leadership roles towards integrating a stronger work-life balance.

Finding a therapist can be hard, especially when you are navigating through your life journey. It can become even more isolating when you are in between the Deaf and hearing worlds. As the only Deaf member in a family moving to the United States, I went on a long journey through self-discovery. Through firsthand experience, I faced challenges with communication and isolation while discovering my own identity as a Deaf person. This is how I learned to become a strong advocate for minorities.

I'm quite diverse in the clientele that I treat, but specialize in children and adults, with a wide range of medical and psychological needs such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism spectrum, behavior issues and more. Also, in working with adults and elderly clients with various medical conditions dealing with cancer, stroke, cerebral palsy, anxiety, depression, family issues etc, I cater to the needs of the client in a wholistic, humanistic style using creative arts.

As a psychotherapist and professional coach for over 25 years in NYC and Westchester, I work with families, couples and individuals to deal with the challenges, changes and crisis that occur in our lives when we least expect it. As a family therapist my practice addresses couples in conflict, separation and divorce as well as adolescence. My clients include women in transition with career and relationships as well as coping with anxiety, infertility and depression. I am also a certified Bereavement Counselor assisting those with parent, child and sibling loss.

For 25+ years I've witnessed profound changes in my clients. When we understand what triggers us, we become less reactive and more present. This allows for growth, peace and contentment. I work with individuals, couples and families struggling with relationships, depression, stress, and anxiety. I take a culturally sensitive approach to working with clients including couples from different backgrounds. My treatment is psychodynamic and compassion oriented. I strongly believe that people can change and relationships can improve. These are challenging times, caring for our mental health is critical.

Tara Daniels, LMSW, serves in NYS through Telehealth Care. She serves many diverse needs with many treatment modalities using a generalist approach.

We live in a high stress, fast paced society which could make it difficult to care for ourselves holistically (mind, body and spirit). This could lead to feeling unbalanced. I can help you identify and reach goals you will need on your path toward wellness. Therapy can help you relieve emotional stress and symptoms, realize your fullest potential and empower you to make positive, lasting changes in your life. In therapy, you will learn about yourself through looking within, develop skills and increase mindfulness as you become better able to confront life stress and obstacles you may be faced with.

I provide telehealth services in New York (Headway.co) and in-person services in Maine (PenBayMusicTherapy.com). I've shared profound clinical experiences in many traditionally non-musical care contexts, including psychiatric, special education, rehabilitation, and complex medical settings. My clients navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, regulation, trauma, grief or loss. I guide clients to explore and express experiences and feelings that are subconsciously defining the self. I aim to provide a warm, reliable, and open-minded presence that encourages clients to express what they have held onto tightly.

We are professionally trained therapists with diversified competencies, certifications and expertise, to provide the most suitable counseling help. We remain sensitive to your spiritual framework and belief system, whatever they may be. As a counseling group, we are committed to providing affordable and effective counseling to persons of all social and cultural backgrounds. We are happy to say, we accept most health insurances!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help adults in NY, OR, CT, and FL who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions. I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space in which my clients feel “held,” heard, and helped. My therapeutic approach is personalized, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. My practice is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and utilizes a range of techniques including awareness of sensations in the body, narrative interventions, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy.
