I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2019, and I have experience supporting young adults and adults with concerns such as addictions, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship/ family issues, and anger management. My ideal client would like to resolve these issues by empowering themselves to learn how to counter negative thoughts, regulate emotions, tolerate moments of distress, communicate effectively, and mindfully stay within the present moment. My ideal client would like to learn these skills in order to manifest their ideal life and be the best version of themselves.

Ever think to yourself "...why am I like this?!" and become frustrated that you just can't seem to let go and move on? Pause for a moment, and know that your thoughts, feelings, and very existence are all valid. Being seen and heard (and not just shouting into the void) simply as we are and where we are in life plays significantly into creating the confidence to face challenges, and then continuing to thrive. You are deserving of finding balance, harmony, and evolving into your most genuine self.

Nobody should be in therapy forever. My strategy for over a decade has been to empower individuals and families to achieve their goals, improve their quality of life, and maintain lasting positive changes by getting to the root of what is causing you difficulty. I treat individuals (adults, children, teens) and families from a friendly, strengths-based, non-judgmental perspective. I specialize in treating adults, children, adolescents, and families who struggle with a variety of issues--from diagnosable mental health conditions (i.e., anxiety, OCD, PTSD), to normal life transition issues.

Dr. Shirin Zarqa-Lederman is a counseling psychologist specializing in trauma services and community psychology, holding a PhD in the field.

Later, she worked as a community liaison for this program and three others in New York, coordinating psychiatric and substance abuse care.

Starting therapy can be an exciting, courageous, and unpredictable journey. I am ready to walk with you on that journey, no matter what stage of life you’re in. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, cultural assimilation, cultural trauma, transitions, disordered eating, and body image. I am especially passionate about supporting those coming from immigrant family backgrounds as well as first-generation individuals in understanding their identity in regards to their values, cultural background, and ethnicity.

I offer ongoing individual and couples therapy to adults struggling with a variety of issues. Check out my facebook/instagram (/whitneynottherapy) channel for videos and to ask questions! Go to www.telemynd.com/request-appointment to get on my waitlist or connected with another therapist!

People need solutions that work in real life. What I love most about the work I do, is that although I initially see people when they feel challenged or confused, as we work together they find courage, develop new skills, and feel more confident about themselves and in their lives. I have a passion for helping others, and with my insight and creative approach, I am able to help people to make profound, positive life changes. The purpose of my practice is to provide a trustworthy, non-judgmental space for exploration, and reflection.

The purpose of hypnosis as a therapeutic technique is to help you understand and gain more control over your behavior, emotions or physical well-being. I been successfully helping people for 20 years to overcome anxiety, pain, and addictions. Hypnotherapy is helpful to improve your performances and to have a better life.

My therapeutic goals are twofold: remove symptoms and alleviate pain, while also facilitating exploration and clarification of ways to live positively and more fully in relation to self, others, and work. My psychology treatment plan is specialized to your individual goals and needs, varying in terms of time (short term and long term), modality (individual, couple, and family), and focus (cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, multicultural, mindfulness, and family/couples system). I utilize treatment interventions that are scientifically researched and found to be effective. In your first visit, we will set goals for treatment to ensure that you are not in therapy longer than is needed.
