Teletherapy for New York

Woke up feeling unsure about yourself? Struggling with major life changes or decisions? Feeling stuck? Or you've lost your purpose? Is the weight on your shoulders too much to bear leaving you questioning ‘why’? Let’s start by saying, you’ve come to the right place. We all face times when we are overwhelmed by our situations. We're here to listen without judgment and help you to sort out life challenges. When you find yourself in a vulnerable place, it’s our goal to create a safe and nurturing atmosphere for you to delve deeper into your feelings of sadness, emptiness, loss, anxiety, worry or despair.

The therapeutic relationship is a sacred interpersonal bond built on trust. Together, we’ll co-create a space to overcome your obstacles, shift lifestyle or behavioral patterns, and tap into your innate capacity for resilience. I view my work through an anti-oppressive social justice lens, which will deepen your understanding of how your environment, your family, and your community can impact you. We may explore anything from the trickle down effect of workplace stress, to the impact of media violence on children, or anything else that may be on your mind.

I work with clients to help them navigate multiple life stressors, specifically around relationship issues, intimacy, struggles with identity, and career goals. I hold degrees in social work (which focused on a better understanding of social context and it’s impact on various communities) as well as counseling psychology (which looks more specifically at human development and individual process). This makes for a well rounded foundation in connecting with the stories of others, in addition to 19 years working with elders, adults, youth, individuals with disabilities, as well as victims of crisis and trauma.

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.

My clients are postcolonial, queer, subaltern, disabled, invisibilised survivors of everyday microagressions or complex trauma. Like my clients I am polycultural, multilingual, queer and attuned to queries on acculturation, multiple social identities, identity shifting, parenting minority or neuroatypical children, intercultural couples, as well as accidental, disabling or climacteric transitions. My clients want to come to terms with their complexities — those invalidated because of primary or secondary socialisation. Exploring symbolic language allows for production of new knowledge of self and self-(re)actualisation. Paris based.

Often people enter therapy because they feel stuck. They know what to do but it's just the 'doing it' that's hard. I have been working successfully with clients for 20 years and I love it. I focus on the importance of relationships as well as the achievement of individual desires. I offer in-person and teletherapy services.

I will meet you exactly where you are at in life. Together, you and I will explore what you do, how you feel, and the triggers behind it all. I can do the same for your child or your parent too. Children, adults, and seniors – at any stage or crossroad – are welcomed on this journey. As a passionate life coach and credentialed mental health provider, I aim to identify and help manage the root causes of decisions and habits. We can accomplish this in group therapy or one-on-one sessions, in-person or virtually.

Greetings and peace to you, divine being. I am a black , caribbean american, creative arts therapist providing safe, affirming, uplifting, and holistic healing. My therapeutic style uses a strength-based approach while incorporating creative art therapy techniques and catering to the balance & overall wellbeing of the mind, body, & soul. I work with individuals to overcome low self-esteem, self-doubt, anxiety, past traumas, and depression using creative arts therapy.

You often wonder what tomorrow will bring but instead of excitement and hopefulness, you feel nervous or a sense of dread. You imagine all the things that could go wrong which then makes you feel sad and scared. It’s been hard for you to enjoy your life. You’re not sure why you always think of the negatives. Perhaps it's because of your past pain. You’ve learned that anticipating the worst would protect you from getting hurt, taken advantage of or disappointed. And this thought process has kept you safe, but now is ruining your mood and your ability to be happy.

As Black men a lot of us have been socialized in ways that makes maintaining deep relationships a challenge. Whether the cause is unresolved trauma, communication skills that need improvement, socialized masculinity or anything else, allowing the issue to go unresolved creates tension with others where there should be harmony. A lot of us developed defenses for remaining safe in a world we feel isn’t safe for us. However, we create worlds within our relationships and when we continue to deploy defenses in spaces that are safe for us we prevent ourselves from loving and receiving love to the best of our ability.

I am a black psychotherapist who enjoys working with clients seeking to improve their relationship with their spouses, partners, family members, friends and colleagues. In therapy, we work on building better communication skills, considering the perspective of others and applying appropriate problem solving techniques. In addition, I have a passion for working with adolescents and teens to develop good decision making skills when faced with stress and negative emotions; assisting them to maneuver successfully towards adulthood. Overall, I help clients looking for encouragement and strategies to improving their emotional health.

Life can bring about challenges from finding safety and security within the spaces we are in to struggling with self advocacy. From the instability created throughout the pandemic, to exploring the impact of your cultural identity, or learning to heal as a trauma survivor (including racial trauma), you will be provided with an affirming and strength-focused space for you to be heard as you address any of these areas and more. I embody a warm, collaborative therapeutic style that allows you to join in designing the path of exploration and goals that we work towards together.

Hi there! I’m Heydi Hurtado, licensed therapist and founder of Peace Cove Counseling: a faith-based therapeutic space to empower black + brown women on their journey of healing. Are you burnt out and feeling as if you're "running on empty"? Do you find yourself incessantly preoccupied with the opinions of others? Do you often experience the fear of rejection/abandonment, and have difficulty expressing your feelings + needs? Do you struggle with setting healthy boundaries with others?

Do you want to explore the untapped parts of yourself that make you unique? I am a black , queer, cis-gender male from Long Island and I believe therapy is the best place to discover what makes you unique. In my personal journey to mental wellness, I it was challenging to find a therapist that felt safe, relatable and authentic. I know what it is like to be judged and misunderstood because of your identity and who you love. With my journey, I am empowered to help you navigate your relationships, your past experiences, and the stresses of your daily life.

Great News! You’ve made it. Way to go. Life can be so changing and demanding. Dealing with everyday stressors can get us down. However, I am here to help support you on your journey to healing and recovery. I have been working in the Social Service field for over 20 plus years. I have dealt with homelessness, domestic violence, adolescents, LGBTQIA+, mental health, sexual abuse, substance abuse and the criminal justice system. I am a therapist with my MSW under the supervision of Amira Crawford, LCSW at Amira For Her, a group practice dedicated to supporting BIPOC with their mental health.

I have the honor of accompanying fellow LGBTQIA+ individuals of color, especially those moving through life transitions, first-generation undergraduate & graduate students, academics, artists, writers, and those holding intersectional identities rooted in multicultural and interracial families, partnerships, and transcultural and/or adult adoption. In addition, I work with couples as well as poly individuals and ethically/consensually non-monogamous partnerships.
