​Please note: I am currently closed (as of 12/28/23 & 2024) to all prospective clients inquiries except inquiries into ketamine-assisted psychotherapy services, a concierge at-home or remote-assisted treatment I offer in tandem with Journey Clinical. As always, I make it a priority to help my clients feel at ease with me and with the work we do together. If you were my client, you can expect me to be warm, welcoming and supportive. My specialty areas include: ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar, OCD, relationship issues, and self-esteem building, and I have personal comfort with many other presenting concerns (please see side bar).

I believe there are many portals for healing. I like to approach therapy from a trauma-based, strength-based, and evidence-based lens. I work with individuals and couples who are seeking self-trust, confidence, and learning how to reduce self blame. Together, I can help provide a felt sense of safety within oneself. I allow emotions to be held, while conflicts are navigated. Restoring the mind, body, and spirit allows restoring for wholeness, ability, and a beautiful capacity for living. You are the expert in your own life, and I help you navigate the challenges, joy, and healing.

Therapy can help you work through problems that feel too big or overwhelming to tackle alone. Together, in a warm and confidential space, we can begin to explore what is making you feel anxious or stuck without judgement or fear. In therapy with me, you will be seen as an individual person with unique desires and experiences, not a collection of symptoms or issues. In session, you can expect liveliness and candor as we discuss the things you wish to explore: relationships, work, worries, goals and sense of self.

Looking through numerous profiles trying to find the right person to work with? Maybe I can help! My goal is to provide a supportive and collaborative space where we can work together to achieve your goals.

Life can be stressful for all of us, but together we can develop individualized coping skills and tools that will help you navigate life’s difficulties. I have experience working with adolescents and adults with mental health disorders and developmental disabilities.

I provide psychotherapy to adults using a collaborative approach in which we work together to help you heal and grow. First, I will assist you to help me understand your strengths, experiences, relationships, challenges, and goals. Then, in the context of a mutually respectful relationship, we can discuss how barriers may have developed and how we can resolve these so you can live the live you want and deserve. I integrate therapeutic interventions to meet your unique needs, including psychodynamic, EMDR, cognitive, behavioral, mindfulness, motivational, DBT skills, relapse prevention, and other approaches.

I am dedicated to helping you achieve peace with your past and present challenges, and to better align with your authentic Self. Our sessions provide a safe space, where patience, compassion, and acceptance allow us to work together to achieve your life goals, dreams, and your heart’s desire. When current life stressors feel overwhelming, or familiar patterns play out in the form of symptoms, blocks, or blind spots, it may be a sign that past painful experiences are activated in present day life.

Hi! My name is Kiera and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NY and I am so excited to begin this journey with you. Whether this is your first time looking for a therapist or 100th time in treatment, your strengths have brought you here! It is such an overwhelming and vulnerable process reaching out for therapy, so the fact you've found my page is already a step in the right direction. My main belief when it comes to treatment is that the client is the expert and that my role in the therapy space is to offer support, model congruence, and help clients see things in a different way.

I fundamentally believe in the connection between the mind and body, and work from a client-centered, somatic approach. Through therapy, we'll explore your history, nervous system, and relationship to your body. With intentional work, we'll get a better understanding of your unique experience, patterns that your nervous system engages in, and how to learn and unlearn new ways of knowing.

My therapeutic approach focuses on my belief that when it comes to an individual’s life, they are the expert. As a therapist, it is my job to be expert on theory and techniques, to assist client's in realizing their own capabilities of deciding where they want to go, and I encourage the strengths within themselves to pursue wherever that is and to identity what that will take to get there. First, however, I must address the level of resistance a client shows.My treatment heavily looks at aspects of internalization, pulls from psychoanalytic theories of neurosis, specifically signal anxiety, and focuses on realizing personal agency.

Everyone can benefit from having a trusting relationship and receiving validation. From that basis, in a non-judgmental interaction people can begin to get clarity on their wants and needs. From enhancing self-esteem to setting boundaries and resolving anxiety/depression people can change.

I had a philosophy professor in college who said their answering machine held the two most important questions we could ask ourselves. “Who are you? and “What do you want?” We don’t always know what those answers are, but we can find them out together. Whether you’ve been in therapy before or this is your first step towards change, I am confident we can create goals that are right for you. Making a change is a difficult step and I’m here to help you in that transition in any way I can. Together we will identify areas in your life that you want to see change in, and how to shift from surviving to thriving.

You are really tired. If you’re being honest, your head is spinning & you’re anxious a lot of the time. It’s keeping you from being able to rest, let alone enjoy life. Your thoughts are moving so fast, that it’s hard to stay focused. Now you’re starting to have headaches, racing heart, & tightness in your chest. You’re not sure what to do about it. All you know is that you don’t feel your best & believe your letting people down. You feel disappointed & wonder what is going on with you. Usually things go according to plan and right now that is definitely not happening. It’s starting to become too much.

Life can be overwhelming sometimes and you do not have to struggle alone. You have strengths within you that we can build upon. I have skills based on years of study and experience that I will share with you. We will work together to resolve your current challenges while we examine patterns of thinking and behavior in order to avoid or quickly resolve future stumbling blocks. In an atmosphere of trust, comfort and acceptance, we can achieve lasting solutions. I work with children ages 12 through 19, as well as adults; specializing in anxiety, stress reduction, life coaching, adjustment disorders, couples and parent counseling.
