Therapy can be a safe and non-judgmental space for both cultivating reflectiveness and implementing positive changes. Whether you are looking to find relief from specific distressing emotional experiences, work on your relationship with yourself and others in your life, develop better coping skills, or address barriers that block you from living your life fully, I consider it an honor to help you address the struggle and emotional pain which bring you to therapy. Together, we can help you build a life which brings greater fulfillment, meaning, and joy, even in the face of life’s inevitable setbacks, losses, and disappointments.

Are you tired of feeling trapped by the relentless grip of anxiety and the suffocating weight of perfectionism? I understand the unique challenges you face as someone striving for excellence while battling inner turmoil. There comes a point where the pursuit of perfectionism becomes exhausting and takes a toll on our mental wellbeing. Together, they form a barrier to our mental well-being and prevent us from living authentically. Imagine a life where anxiety no longer dictates your decisions and perfectionism no longer holds you back. That's the journey we embark on together—a journey towards reclaiming your inner peace.

Life is filled with many unique challenges. Going to therapy is an investment in your well being. I see therapy as an opportunity to better understand your lived experiences. Often when struggling, we try to avoid or push uncomfortable feelings away. Unfortunately, these feelings do not simply disappear. Instead, they make themselves known in all kinds of ways ranging from psychological to physical. I see therapy as a place where you know that you are supported, treated with empathy and compassion while telling your story and healing conflicts from the past.

I am a licensed psychologist in New York, Florida and Connecticut and certified by PSYPACT to provide telehealth services to clients in states participating in PSYPACT. I provide treatment for adolescents and adults across the lifespan using cognitive behavior therapy. Treatment is time-limited, goal-directed and structured. My approach is collaborative, respectful, compassionate and logical. I introduce ways to actively cope when in distress, how to gain broader perspective, improve problem-solving skills, and develop the confidence to persevere when dealing with life's various challenges.

Finding a therapist can be a challenging process, and finding one you connect with can be especially tricky. You may find yourself here because you are experiencing anxiety, social anxiety, or are going through a difficult career or life transition. I am here to listen if you are feeling stuck, alone, or believe that you are not where you’re “supposed to be” in life. My goal is to create and hold a safe, non-judgmental space that allows you to be your most authentic self, and where you can express your difficult and uncomfortable emotions.

Our approach is to meet you where you are at. I think of myself as a co-pilot, with your hands on the wheel and the brakes so we take things at your pace. There is nothing we can't talk about together. Unlike other relationships, the therapeutic one is solely there for you. You are free to talk about whatever is on your mind and not protect me from your pain, emotions or fears. Our team has helped many through mindfulness, trauma-focused CBT and insight-oriented integrative approaches. Nothing is more fulfilling than witnessing our clients face extraordinary challenges and then thrive in their personal and professional lives.

I believe there is great value in a curious and non-judgmental exploration of our feelings, thoughts, actions, and relational patterns, in the presence of another person. An interactive and collaborative psychotherapy process can increase empathy for oneself and others, and strengthen ones capacity for making meaningful change, and coping with challenges that arise throughout life.

Many of us learn that naming and communicating our emotions, needs, and desires is unimportant or even unsafe. We turn to coping in ways that keep us disconnected from others and ourselves, like people pleasing, overthinking, and numbing out. Do you feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, wondering where to start? For couples, are you desperate to stop having the same repetitive fights? If any of this resonates with you, I'm glad you're here and commend you for taking the first step.

Are you considering a major life change or looking for something different for yourself? Perhaps this brings about increased levels of stress and anxiety. I work with many people trying to do the same and have found that process of realizing goals and figuring out the next steps can lie in the smaller moments of your past. I can help you identify and leverage those experiences to discover your own inner resources and strengths. Together, we can explore how to apply those skills to meet new challenges and move forward. Whether you need to practice a bit more or adapt to a new task, therapy with me is a safe space to do just that.

Do you and your partner have a lot of love but find yourselves struggling with communication? Do unresolved issues feel like roadblocks in your relationship? Do you want to regain intimacy and closeness with one another?

Hello, I'm Zaina! As a therapist, I aim to create a space to foster introspection, inner child healing, and self-compassion through the collaborative effort of both the therapist and client. My style of treatment focuses on helping clients find patterns in their emotions, thoughts, and beliefs in order to gain insight into their current self. Our work together aims for you to explore how reactions to present-day circumstances may be influenced by past events. I may also implement trauma focused or behavioral approaches that focus on processing, healing, and developing coping skills.
