I offer support related to trauma, anxiety, mood dysregulation, relationship/identity issues, perinatal/postpartum mental health, childhood/family, loss & grief, substance use , life goals, etc.
Hi! I am Jessica Papitto, LCSW, an NYC-based therapist with over 15 years of experience working with adults in mental health. I offer a nurturing, protected space for you to talk, explore, make meaning, and find relief weekly. Whether you find yourself grappling with the past or overwhelmed with worries for the future, we can work together to ground you in the present. So many of us try to white-knuckle our way through life, pushing down our pain and needs, hoping things will get better over time or go away. You don't have to be alone with whatever it is you are facing, and you don't have to be uncomfortable anymore.

I have experience and training working with individuals facing varied issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, substance use , LGBTQIA+ concerns, life transitions, and more.
No matter where you are in your life, therapy is a way to alleviate stress and build clarity about your feelings. My goal is to collaborate with you to gain insight, build effective coping skills, and get in touch with your intuition. Whether you've had therapy before, or if you want to try something new, it can be difficult to start. I know many people find it hard to meet a therapist they connect with, but it is important you feel safe in the therapeutic space. I aim to support my clients in better understanding how to break out of cycles, overcome obstacles, and build greater self-assurance.

I am an empathic and transparent therapist and specialize in anxiety, depression, complex trauma, cognitive behavioral therapy, early childhood mental health, oppositional defiance, men’s issues, and substance use disorders.
Life can be challenging at times as you deal with the stressors of trying to manage time, school, work, parenting, relationships, or marriage. Often, we ignore the impact these stressors have on our mental wellness, and it can lead to stress and anxiety. Sometimes, it’s just hard to cope and you are not alone. I would like to help mediate your troubles and promote healing by helping you develop strategies that can help reduce anxieties and stress. Together, we will work to develop coping skills to manage the problems that brought you to this point in your life.

Once again, feeling so stuck, dreading another painful and disappointing outcome. Friendships feel distant, like you have worn out your welcome and everyone is sick of hearing about your troubles. You feel stuck in this pattern at work and with your family. No one listens, while the feelings of isolation quietly build. You’re stuck in a vicious cycle but don’t know how to break free. Disconnected from yourself, how are you going to connect with others?

Hi there! My name is Destiny and working with others has always been a passion of mine. Life is beautiful, but it can also be brutal. Although humans are resilient, we all go through moments in our lives where talking it out with a friend just doesn't cut it. Sometimes we encounter really challenging moments, low self-esteem, loneliness, grief and relationship issues. I’m here to help provide clients a safe and supportive space to process & explore their experiences, improve their relationships, heal & grow. I utilize evidence-based therapies while remaining eclectic & changing modalities based on the client’s needs & goals.

My approach to counseling is integrative, meaning I draw from several different types of therapy to fit what is best for the client's needs. I hold sessions from a non-hierarchical and non-judgmental position while simultaneously acknowledging the differences and limitations of working with diverse populations.

I work with a variety of people whose active, creative lives have been interrupted by depression, mania, anxiety, mourning, and trauma. Psychotherapy with me is a process of guided expression. Thoughts and feelings, dreams and fantasies, desires and fears are given voice -- loud, clear, and without judgment. The experience of formulating authentic verbal and emotional expressions can be transformative in and of itself. Also, as patterns in your way of being become clear, you can begin to consider alternatives, find courage to change, and experience what is commonly known as freedom.

My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, and stress management. As a school social worker, I understand the importance of continuing care through the summer and engaging in supplemental services during the school year.

Do you sometimes feel that life is harder than it should be? Almost as if everyone else received a manual on happiness and you didn't? Well, You're not the only one. Often we reach a point in our lives where we question ourselves and what we do. There are other times when we feel things like anger, sadness, loneliness, anxiety, and don't really understand why or where these feelings are coming from. It is not easy to talk about these feelings with other people, even those that are close to us. But, what would it be like for you to find someone that will not only listen to you, but also help you manage those feelings?

Substance Use Therapists

How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.

Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?

There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
