Female Therapists in Kips Bay, New York, NY

I understand that therapy can be a vulnerable process, so I strive to foster a sense of trust and connection through empathy and active listening. I gained my clinical experience working in healthcare where I encountered adults and families undergoing major life transitions and adjustments. My concurrent work with Columbia students has provided additional insight into the stressors facing young adults today. Please note that I am not conducting sessions with Columbia students at this time to ensure best confidentiality practices and limit dual relationships. I can provide referrals to recommended therapists within our practice.
