I'm Nineth Díaz, a Bilingual Brooklyn born, bred & based, Latina Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT), Music Therapist - Board Certified psychotherapist (MT-BC) and Neurologic Music Therapist (NMT) with nearly a decade of clinical experience with various populations. My aim is to meet you where you’re at, beginning from where you are right now. Together, we can identify therapeutic goals that help embody your authentic self. My hope is to support and encourage the work you do on your mental health journey.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I have particular clinical interest in gender and sexual diversity, dysfunctional relationship patterns, challenges related to life transitions, and bi/multicultural identity issues. I work from a contemporary psychodynamic perspective and incorporate cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques when helpful. I believe that the primary goal of therapy is to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, including greater awareness of automatic or problematic patterns of behaving and relating to others.

It is my passion to normalize mental health treatment and improve accessibility to mental health care for all, by listening to the individual’s needs and wants, assisting them to reach their unique goals. Every person experiences the world in a different way depending on their history and intersectionality. I believe it's important to go into your world as much as possible and work with you on the things you face and see them from your perspective.

I am Dr. Lara DiCarlo, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I have prioritized working with marginalized communities over the past decade as a psychotherapist. People most often come to me for concerns with anxiety, chronic illness, depression, identity, life transitions, perinatal period, and relationships (attachment, family, peer, romantic, sexual). I primarily offer individual therapy for late teens and adults of all ages, with a specialization in working with young adults. My approach is warm, engaging, empowering, and collaborative. I also offer appointments for gender affirming letters and personality/psychopathology assessment.

Are you struggling with loneliness? A lot of people I work with feel emotionally lonely, socially disconnected, and exhausted. They are often high-achieving perfectionists, who may appear to be doing great but, on the inside, they feel a deeper sense of despair. They believe or have been told they are “too much” or fear burdening others. This can manifest in disordered patterns of eating, compulsive exercise, and attending engagements out of obligation instead of enjoyment. Radically Open (RO) DBT, a new evidenced based treatment that targets emotional loneliness, teaches skills to increase flexibility and openness.

Seeking help opens the door of hope. As a psychologist and helping professional, I strive to make clients feel deeply listened to and seen by a caring person. A thorough understanding of where the other person is coming from and the fulfillment that comes when we reach that point of deep connection are priceless. My focus is on the client’s strengths and reframing problems to help inspire growth as I believe that positive lifestyle changes promote healing, optimal functioning, and wellness.

I offer a warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental space for clients. As a queer person myself, I have a passion for working with queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming clients. I know how important a good therapeutic experience is, as my own positive experiences in therapy inspired me to become a counselor.

I believe in the power of therapeutic relationship and every person’s innate ability to cope and grow. My role is to support you in your pursuit of better relationships, positive changes, more presence and meaning. I currently work with online clients only and accept NY state insurances. Out-of-state residents are also welcome to inquire. I am also an active public speaker and educator on topics of modern relationships, parenting, and sex education offering interactive lectures in Europe and US. I draw on my own multicultural experience having lived and studied in 3 different countries and fluent in English, Russian and Hebrew.

I believe that every person's story is unique and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, healing from past experiences, or simply seeking to enhance your well-being, I'm here to guide you. Through a blend of psychoanalytic "talk therapy" and insights from other therapeutic approaches, we'll explore the root causes of your difficulties and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Together, we'll uncover your inner strength and resilience, empowering you to overcome obstacles and create lasting change.

Therapy is the journey in self-understanding and healing; one I wish to guide you on. Whether you’re seeking therapy because you feel sad, hopeless, or anxious, or because you wish to better understand yourself, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space in which we can embark on the therapeutic journey together. Every journey is unique, and I look forward to working with you towards self-understanding.

Embracing the Tao, or the Way, taught me the healing power that comes from navigating life's continuous flow with grace and fluidity. By collaboratively healing and opening the channel between the mind and feeling world, we will work together to prepare your whole being for this transformative journey. I'm Shao, a bilingual therapist with an international and multicultural background. I am passionate about helping you work through any blockages that may prevent you from experiencing freedom, ease, and deeper meaning in your life. Together, we can celebrate your courage as you choose your own unique path.

I passionately enjoy working with diverse people “from all walks of life”— professionals, essential workers, parents, students, immigrants, artists, LGBTQA+ community members, caregivers, and allies to people experiencing medical or mental health issues. In therapy, we can appreciate your emotions, problem solve and cope with daily issues, change “undesirable” behaviors, cultivate physical and mental wellness, pursue life/work goals and satisfaction, and practice effective communication skills for interpersonal relationships.

Locating a therapist can be a fearful and daunting process, however, once found can be rewarding as you begin to express your deepest and most personal story. Are you struggling with depression, anxiety or low self-esteem? Are you experiencing marital discord or dealing with a child who presents with attention difficulties, defiancy or truancy? Do you find it difficult to manage your emotions and set limits for your children? Do you often feel overwhelmed and have noone to talk to? I look forward to helping you resolve your varied issues. Most of all I look forward to empowering you.

Via telehealth, I utilize evidence-based best practices to treat individuals with wide ranging emotional and mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress related to health/family/relationship challenges.

When people experience life stressors and traumatic experiences, it is understandable for their lives to turn upside down. Do you suffer from constant anxiety that does not seem to go away?

If this describes you, then you have come to the right place! My passion is to bring validation and healing to those who have encountered such impactful experiences. Any challenges you may be facing, we will work through them together. I promise, you are not alone.

My therapeutic approach is to offer support and guidance while creating a safe and collaborative environment for my clients. I encourage curiosity and self-reflection, as I believe insight and learning about oneself are important steps toward healing.
