Native American Therapists in Hartsdale, NY

Words unspoken become stuck within. Does it feel like you’re navigating a world that doesn’t understand your heart's language? Do you conceal your emotions as a survival skill? As a way to be accepted when exposing your true self feels too risky? Does past trauma play quietly in the back of your mind, challenging your ability to trust — not just others, but even your own inner voice? Are you an adult haunted by your past? Or a teenager working through anxiety and learning to find their voice? What about a parent, anxious and yearning to bridge the emotional distance between you and your teenager?

Welcome! ¡Bienvenidos! I am so amazed that you are taking the first step in improving your mental health! A professor from college once shared, "You're not weak for coming to therapy; You are strong". It takes amazing courage and strength to not only recognize when you are struggling with something but also, to ask for help. I counsel individuals who present with anxiety, a history of trauma, or those who have difficulty in managing stress. I hope that in our work together, I can provide you with a safe and comfortable atmosphere to help you strive through your struggles. I look forward to your FREE 15-minute phone consultation!

Lorna Hayim-Baker specializes in marriage/couples counseling. Lorna doesn't feel that weekly one hour sessions work well for couples & that is based on her personal experience and from couples coming to her and calling her their "therapist of last resort." These couples found Ms. Baker by reading reviews written by other satisfied couples who came to Lorna's "My Marriage Marathon" or "My Marathon For Committed Couples Not Yet Bound For Marriage." Call (917) 270-9595 for your free phone consultation. She only accepts people who mesh with her personality. She does not sugar coat the truth. Insurance doesn't cover couple's counseling

Life's challenges, past traumas or present stresses, can make us feel very overwhelmed. Deeply affecting our lives, relationships, and overall well-being. But you don't have to navigate it alone! I support adults in navigating trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, family conflicts, loss, depression, and anxiety, often focusing on how childhood trauma influences adulthood. Together we’ll decipher the intricate patterns of behavior that may be holding you back and grapple with hard emotions. By letting things unravel, past and present experiences, you will rediscover yourself and create the path towards transformative change.

I work with people who are part of the LGBTQIA+ communities and allies. My work is rooted in gender-affirming therapy for those seeking exploration and support around their gender identities. I also work with those who are living with addiction and recovery. I work with clients who live, work and play under a cloak of secrecy; the outside world sees them as goal-driven professionals who have stable relationships and a host of family and friends. My clients hide their struggles with Depression, Anxiety, Low Self Esteem, and Substance Use. My clients want to live and love authentically.

During this difficult time, we all feel overwhelmed with work, school or other social obligations. It is common to feel anxious, depressed or stressed at some point. Your mental health matters!

My expertise lies in working with clients who are tackling life's greatest challenges such as grief, trauma, anxiety, chronic illness and depression. I believe the work we do in therapy is a partnership. Working with me you will give you a therapeutic partner who will help you have a greater understanding of your responses to the unique stressors in your life. The work we do together will be intentional and help you. Together we will face the unimaginable events that have changed who you are at your core. We will work through the complexities of your pain, anger, guilt, and resentment and create a path toward healing.

I work with adults experiencing interpersonal conflict, family conflict, self-esteem issues, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and anger management. I work collaboratively with clients to explore and enhance their motivation for change. By working together, we can strengthen your drive to overcome challenges and achieve your goals. Through this approach, we can establish safety, trust, and empowerment in our therapeutic relationship, helping you heal and regain control over your life.

I work with clients determined to unearth the hold trauma has on their lives, losses and unexpected life events that paralyze them, and work to challenge and ultimately change coping mechanisms that are not serving them. I’ve had the pleasure of working with many clients throughout my career, including but not limited to the LGBTQIA+ communities, sexual assault/domestic violence survivors, those experiencing severe mental illness and chronic medical conditions, and those affected by systemic racial disparities.

I am a human being, mom, wife, daughter, friend, a Spanish Bilingual/Bi-cultural Licensed Psychotherapist in this Universe. Love to help individuals, couples, families, and run groups as well. I provide brief treatment (life is too short to expend in years of therapy) Offer crisis intervention, Life Coaching, Career Development and Meditation for those who are interested in it. My client isn't only that one in emotional pain, no, my client is also that person who wants to feel much better and want to enhance every area of her/his life. My client is one who wants to move to a higher level of this human experience.

It can be hard to find a therapist who feels like the right fit, especially when you are grieving, overwhelmed by work or family, facing a new challenge, or feeling stuck in repetitive patterns. My approach is strengths-based, non-judgmental and rooted in deep respect for every client. I am passionate about supporting clients through all stages of grief, including anticipatory, ambiguous, and non-death losses. I also work with adults who feel depressed, anxious, or struggle with life transitions, relationships, parenting, trauma, guilt, and shame.

I was born and raised in Queens New York. I currently reside in Brooklyn. I’m not really a fan of the term African American because my lineage is a bit more complex than that. So I will say I’m an Afro-Native American and extremely proud of it. I attended Queens Borough Community College where I earned an Associates Degree in Science with a concentration in Preforming Arts to pursue a career as a Music Therapist. I then attended Long Island University Brooklyn and earned a Bachelors Degree In Psychology with a Minor In Sociology and Anthropology. I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling at Alfred University.

I believe strongly in the resilience of people, and that a healthy therapeutic relationship can promote trust, healing, and personal growth. I believe that successful therapy is predicated on having a strong therapeutic alliance; the connection and collaborative relationship between the client and therapist. Taking a strength-based perspective, I listen deeply and reflectively to sustain a non-judgmental and safe environment. I am passionate about helping clients fully process past experiences and thrive in relationships with themselves, others, and the world around them.

Hi beautiful people! Need support from feeling unseen or navigating a world in which your identities are not affirmed? I'm here to support you in further harnessing your intuitive voice, as well as providing a space to explore your past, current, and potential future. As a Black/Queer/Neurodivergent provider, I am dedicated to helping you synthesize memories and experiences of your life, and how these moments might be informing your identities today. I am deeply invested in you and think of our relationship as a collaborative one in which we both discover and explore what affirms you and makes you feel seen, heard, and supported.

I help BIPOC men and LGBTQIA individuals overcome stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, and trauma by taking a whole person approach, focusing on body, mind, self, and spirit. I listen to your story with empathy and respect, integrating it into our sessions for healing. Using evidence-informed care tailored to your needs, I incorporate proven interventions through research informed therapy.

Guidance on how to cope through a difficult time, adjust to new circumstances and to re-discover who you may be in this very moment may be the initial steps to a whole new beginning. You might be going through relationship conflicts, adjusting to change or feeling like things are out of control. Anxiety symptoms may be enhanced or you feel like there is not many people you can go to that will understand. The goal is to feel at ease, to want to come to sessions and to explore unaddressed emotions, improve the ability to cope, and manage conflicts that prevent us from finding a balance. We will work together to create that balance.
