Antonia Ciunci (she/her) is a multi-passionate therapist and life coach. She specializes in working with young adults between the ages of 14 and 30. She enjoys working with individuals who are passionate about self-improvement, desire purpose and fulfillment in their lives, and are willing to get comfortable with the uncomfortable.

I prioritize an interactive and relational approach to therapy, helping clients to understand the factors contributing to destructive patterns, uncover their strengths, and develop the skills and opportunities necessary for improvement and their version of success. I understand the impacts of an invalidating narrative and strive to help people build greater confidence and a sense of productivity in their personal and professional lives.

I view therapy as a collaborative process, and from the beginning of our time together we’ll work in tandem to co-construct goals, explore challenges, tap into your intuition and deepest self-knowledge, and embrace self-compassion to uncover your strengths and reconnect with your most authentic self. My background in both performing arts and social justice initiatives informs how I connect with clients, bringing forth elements of self-awareness, authenticity, vulnerability, creativity, and even humor into each session.

All of us develop ways to handle the stress and challenges that life throws at us. Sometimes those techniques are unhealthy and counter-productive to our growth and fulfillment. I aim to build an alliance with my clients where we can work together to explore current problems, underlying root causes, and harmful patterns so that you can build upon existing skills and develop new tools that support a better quality of life. I strive to develop a relationship where you can explore challenges, emotions, and struggles in a safe and supportive environment. I am committed to creating a space to help you feel respected and empowered.

Sometimes you might get lost. You might flounder in your relationships, feel confused about your choices, or struggle to understand your feelings. But it's not just you - most people feel that way at some point in their lives. My goal is to help you figure out how you got there and where you want to go next.

Therapy is an ongoing process of curiosity that takes a willingness to be vulnerable, and vulnerability is a strength. Your expertise on yourself and your experiences combined with my clinical knowledge creates a relationship where you have the space to intentionally explore yourself. I work with clients facing trauma, substance abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault as well as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. It can be so helpful to have a place where you can express yourself without fear, and in that space you can learn to live from a place of authenticity and trust when life has gotten in the way.

Life's journey of fluctuations with unexpected and painful circumstances can leave us experiencing prolonged sadness, pervasive anxiety, and overwhelming stress. My passion as a therapist is to provide an authentic and empathic space for you to process and navigate your emotions, while enhancing your strengths & self-worth. I take a holistic approach to therapy. With more than 20 years as a psychotherapist, I work with persons who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, work-related stressors, and marital/couple's issues. I am also dedicated to working with clients who have experienced trauma and symptoms of PTSD.

Are you feeling isolated in your relationships? While romance may begin in an instant, long-term relationships are not easy to maintain alone. No matter where you are in your relationship, seeking guidance, opening the lines of communication, and establishing safety in emotional expression are the cornerstones of any lasting and fulfilling relationship. I aim to empower my clients to realize the strengths they already possess I work with them, both individually and as couples and families, to utilize those unique strengths to develop a positive narrative for their lives and relationships.

There are over eight million people living in New York City today; however, many of them feel isolated from family and friends. Others find themselves in a reoccurring pattern of failed relationships. The question often asked is "why?" Let's work together in answering this question. Perhaps during the journey answers to other questions will present themselves. Not a problem. The process of self-discovery entails learning new things about yourself. I can help you address the lack of satisfaction in your interpersonal relationships, commitment issues, marital conflicts, and religious alienation.

Finding the key to happiness, I have always believed, comes from understanding yourself and coming to terms with who you are. I work very compassionately, without judgment, in a collaborative fashion, to help facilitate greater self- acceptance and equanimity. Whether we investigate your own family dynamics or process through Emotionally Focused Therapy, sessions will help uncover the underlying emotional beliefs that direct your own internal "story".

I am a psychotherapist/social worker who works with children, adolescents, families and adults, particularly young professionals and parents. I utilize a range of modalities (psychodynamic talk therapy, art, movement, mindfulness and more) to support clients as they work through challenges in their lives and develop a more authentic sense of self. I work with folks from a range of backgrounds and a range of concerns, from anxiety and work-related stress to trauma history and family dynamics.

As a clinical psychologist, I have worked with a diverse group of children, adolescents, and adults. My training in various settings has allowed me to treat clients with a myriad of psychological issues, which have ranged from relationship, work, school stressors, and crisis intervention services. The majority of my clinical training has allowed me to effectively help my clients manage their mood, anxiety, trauma-related issues, family conflict, chemical dependency, and behavioral problems. My goal with clients is to provide a supportive and empathic setting where we can collaborate to treat their needs effectively.

I believe that the largest hurdles we face in life present the greatest opportunities for growth. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are facing obstacles within their communication systems, emotional and sexual connections, and sense of intimacy. I also work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, stress, or feeling disconnected from themselves or their relationships, as well as those wishing to explore matters of identity and sexuality. As a multicultural person, I enjoy meeting with individuals from diverse backgrounds in a nonjudgmental and inclusive environment.

For over 22 years, I've enjoyed helping people to develop strategies to reduce stress/anxiety, depression, and successfully navigate common life issues related to career, life transitions, and grief/loss. As we all are trying to cope with the current crisis, we are having to adjust and find ways to maintain our mental health, relationships, friendships, and health. I offer phone and video (FaceTime & Zoom) sessions until we get out of this crisis and can resume office visits. I have sliding scale rates based on household income. Please contact me for more information. Wishing everyone the very best during these challenging times.
