Teletherapy for New York

You’re a strong, successful individual who puts in hard work to maintain your endeavors! Everyone looks up to you- you are resilient, a go-getter & just triumphant at everything you do, it makes you feel amazing! However, at times you feel overwhelmed with pressured expectations of society or your immediate circle- you feel deeply saddened behind closed doors-sometimes anxious & just need someone outside of your circle to share these hindering feelings. These challenges don’t have to define you, we can help you define them & heal through it… We look forward to meeting you & joining you on this journey of wellness towards happiness!

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.

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 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 am an Indigenous (Laguna Pueblo) and Filipina therapist working with clients with histories of trauma, grief and loss, and establishing and growing healthy relationships. When you work with me, I allow you to set the tone of our therapy journey. Together, we explore what is the concern bringing you in and how you’d like it to be different in the future. Once we know where we’ve come from and where we are going, we can explore how we get there.

Are you struggling with the difficult task of finding a psychotherapist for yourself or someone else? I am a skilled and seasoned culturally competent therapist offering sensitive, unbiased psychotherapy in a safe, supportive environment. In our work together you will have the opportunity to reach greater self-awareness and an improved ability to make the changes that will enhance your life. Whether or not you have been in therapy before, we will explore who, what and where you are in your life now. My style is interactive and I welcome your thoughts, feelings and concerns as I guide you through the process.

Whether you have been feeling down, overwhelmed, lost, spiritually broken, hurt, confused, stressed, going through a major life transition or maybe you're just looking for something more, you have come to the right place. When you are suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, relationship issues or a lack of self-esteem, it can feel like your whole world is crumbling down and you just have nothing left to give. In a safe, caring, and judgement-free environment, we will uncover your greatest strengths and learn to manage your hardest struggles. You don't have to suffer alone.

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.

Hi there! I'm Naomi, a mental health therapist dedicated to providing compassionate care to individuals navigating a diverse array of challenges. Imagine a safe space where you're understood and respected, where your unique experiences are honored without judgment. That is the atmosphere I co-create with my clients. Are you grappling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, ASD, or other neurodivergent experiences? Perhaps you're navigating intergenerational, cultural, multi-cultural/racial, or queer-related trauma. Whatever your journey entails, I'm here to walk alongside you with empathy and understanding.

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.

I am passionate about helping my clients work through depression, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal struggles, and personal growth and development, while supporting them on their journey to live a more balanced life. My therapeutic approach is person centered and I work closely with clients to help them connect with their values, gain personal insight, understanding, and self compassion.

At times you can feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or stressed by the events of your life. I provide a safe and caring space where you can explore these feelings. I bring humor, respect and a spirit of collaboration into our work together. I work with adults, college and graduate students. Some common issues I work with include: stress, career and academic issues, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship issues, parenting challenges, attachment styles and trauma. Our goal together is to empower you and develop skills you can take with you on your journey through life.
