Therapists in Elmhurst, NY

As a bilingual, bicultural, Latina, clinical social worker, I have dedicated my practice to working with women, who like me, have been judged, misunderstood, silenced, and oftentimes overlooked. Who you are is not defined by your sex, color, dis-ease, relationship, or your family. Although these things impact you, the "whole" of you is still evolving; ever present and resilient. Don't let your past, your thoughts, society or your environment determine what works for you and what does not. Trust your gut - your body keeps score and knows how to guide you. We need to learn to listen to what comes from within. Let me show you how.

When struggles with our most intimate relationships feel all-consuming, it can be helpful to invite an outside perspective to create some room for new possibilities and hope. I am passionate about helping couples, partners, and family members become unstuck and create a deeper and stronger connection with each other.

As life’s challenges become overwhelming, workplace demands unattainable, relationships, chaotic and life unmanageable; it may be time to accept help. A therapeutic alliance can promote personal growth and healing. Empowers self discovery, understanding of individual beliefs, perspectives, needs and emotions. Therapy can facilitate development of insight into the nature of one’s character deficits and provides opportunity for the introduction of new coping mechanisms to assist in generating desired changes. There are many individuals and children struggling with mental health issues who do not know where to turn to for relief.

Hi there! My name is Stephanie Palacios. I am a Spanish speaking Mental Health Counselor. I am great with young adults and adults. I offer individual counseling, stress reduction, self- esteem issues, anger management, child behavioral concerns, anxiety and depression. I understand your cultural needs and welcome you into my practice. The highest priority is to meet you, the client, where you are, making sure you are heard, understood, and feel accepted and empowered.

Healing is a very personal, and even spiritual practice. I like to use the word healing rather than therapy or counseling because it encompasses the idea that the client is in charge of doing the deep inner work, not the therapist. The client is free to dive to the root of an issue rather than just scratching the surface. As a healing practitioner, I hold space for the client's healing journey. I guide, support, honor, and truly see my clients as they dig deep into their hearts and minds to find their personal power and free themselves of past pain, as well as reduce the mental health symptoms that may cause daily distress.
