You’re capable, successful, and used to holding a lot... and you’re exhausted. I work with high-achieving NYC moms in their 30s and 40s who care deeply for their families but struggle to care for themselves. Many of my clients aren’t in crisis; they’re simply stretched thin and ready for support that fits real life. I offer virtual therapy for busy NYC moms who want to slow down, set boundaries, and care for themselves without guilt. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you or pushing you to do more. It’s about creating space to understand what you need and build a sustainable life that aligns with your values.
Clients often feel calmer, more grounded, and more confident in their choices over time. I’m Danielle, LMHC, founder of Catalyst Counseling. I earned my master’s degree from Columbia University and have worked with adults across NYC. I’m also a mom to two children, who understands the pressure to show up for everyone else while putting yourself last.
My care is thoughtful, practical, and respectful of your time. My work is grounded in CBT and an integrative, relational approach. I offer virtual therapy for NYC residents, making support easier to fit into a full life.
