I have over 15 years of experience practicing mindful living, meditation, and instructing others in mindfulness-based practices, before as a Buddhist monk, and now as a mental health counselor. I specialize in helping people manage their anxiety, depression, cravings, and anger, as well as problematic judgment and rumination. I’m skilled at helping my clients clarify their life direction. I’m bilingual, speaking Mandarin as well as English, and I have years of counseling experience working with Chinese-Americans.

I help alcohol troubled people control or stop their drinking. I use The Sinclair Method, which allows most people to control their drinking by taking a Naltrexone pill our hour prior to every drinking episode. For most people (78% according to the research) this results in reduced drinking to a problem-free level; many people stop drinking completely. No detox or rehab is necessary and treatment consists primarily of brief, regular coaching. I refer you to physicians who are familiar with The Sinclair Method, and will provide the medical service necessary for you to use this approach. I provide coaching, support and encouragement.

People come to me confronting many issues in their lives, fears of intimacy, difficulty setting or achieving goals at work, marital problems, problems with other family members, grief and loss. I see my job as exploring these issues and finding ways to deal with and resolve them so that the patient is able to find ways to deal with their feelings, find solutions to their problems, and be able to move forward in their life in the most effective and healthy way.

Desireé Kabore is a Licensed Master Social Worker in New York who has been practicing since 2020. People often run the gamut of thoughts and emotions before deciding to see a therapist, so if you're reading this, let Desireé be the first to congratulate you on this vital first step! She knows it took a lot of self-reflection and courage to get here. Allow her to remind you of your strengths, that you are resilient, and that things can get better. Sometimes all you need is a fresh perspective and help connecting past experiences to current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while learning healthy coping strategies.

I believe all people are equipped with the tools to live a meaningful life. Only somehow, along our journeys, many of us learn we cannot trust ourselves - and, instead, look externally for direction. I am committed to helping you recognize and reconnect with your innate abilities. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for you to reconnect with yourself and identify your goals. Using a collaborative, direct, and often comedic approach, it is my mission to help you feel empowered to do more than live - to thrive.

I feel comfortable with, have experience with and am adept at treating adults. I offer 1:1 in person and telehealth sessions. I have experience helping resolve specific concerns such as anxiety, depression, obsessions, focus/concentration issues, panic, difficulty sleeping and so much more. I can also take a family approach, helping resolve conflict within the family, behavior issues in school and most other relational issues.

I work with individuals to build their capacities for living life with greater ease, confidence, and self-compassion. My primary modalities are CBT, DBT, motivational-interviewing, and mindfulness. I am committed to showing up in the therapeutic relationship as warm and non-judgmental, with an aspiration that clients feel welcome and affirmed as their full selves.

For most people, the decision to enter therapy occurs at a difficult time in life. I recognize that those seeking treatment are often in pain, and I try to find both immediate and longer term ways to alleviate that suffering. I work with both adolescents and adults and help them to gain a greater sense of awareness of their own feelings and the impact they have on others, thereby increasing their options as well as their sense of mastery and autonomy. In doing so, I can help you become aware of avenues and options that never before seemed like possibilities.

I believe that we all possess the power to make lasting changes in our lives. We just need the right support. I take a holistic attitude to understanding the challenges my clients face, including paying attention to the importance of culture and environment. I believe that change occurs when we acknowledge intersectionality, the complexity of identity, and the important roles that social systems like family, religion, culture, class, gender, and race play in people’s lives, not when we ignore the broader picture and focus only on the individual.

As a clinical and sport psychologist, I generally work with clients who are seeking to reach higher levels of professional, athletic and academic achievement, yet are struggling with various types of anxiety. Issues may include fear of public performance, social nervousness, panic, perfectionism, and excessive worry. I frequently support athletes and student-athletes in learning to improve athletic performance with mental skills training while managing social, academic, and work pressures.

Alexandra sets up clients for therapy success by utilizing a strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach, incorporating mindfulness, person-centered, family systems, psychodynamic and other therapies, as appropriate for each individual. She works with clients who are navigating abuse, family conflict, separation, ambiguous loss, trauma, anxiety, and depression, as well as helping them to explore life transitions, identity, relationships, and self-esteem concerns.

Lindy guides her clients in healing from past trauma and reducing its negative impact on their present lives by gaining a deeper understanding of their responses to trauma, and achieving acceptance of themselves and their emotions. By helping individuals heal from adverse experiences, clients can develop greater self-compassion and an enhanced sense of well-being. Lindy creates a safe and empathetic environment where clients can explore and process their experiences, reduce the emotional charge associated with them, and replace distressing beliefs with more adaptive ones.

Are you currently struggling with anxiety, depression, a mood disorder or addiction? My overall goal is to help you be the best version of yourself. In order to do this I use education to help you build insight to the barriers preventing from this happening. With this I also provided a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to navigate through the hardships of mental health while focusing on your strengths in order for you to feel like your true self again.

My practice centers around children and families. I believe that each individual functions as an important member of their family and community, both making an impact on and being impacted by those around them. My specialty is, therefore, helping families whose young child is struggling to regulate their emotions, maintain attention, practice safe behaviors, or follow directions.

My work is centered around relationships, I see it as a basic instrument for having a successful, meaningful and functioning life. I deal with all kinds of relationships between couples, between parents and children, between people at work and friends. Good communication is fundamental in achieving good relationships. I teach effective communication with empathy and positive regard. Caring about others starts with caring about one's self. I help my clients to build up their self and thus to improve their self esteem.

I received my Master’s in Social Work from the New York University Silver School of Social Work. During my time at NYU, I completed my clinical internships at IVDU Boys’ School, a high school for Orthodox Jewish young men with developmental disabilities, and Bleuler Psychotherapy Center, an outpatient mental health clinic for children, adolescents, and adults.
