This is a charged moment. Seeking a place to work on yourself, someone who can help you do so... it can feel wild and uncomfortable. I hope you will feel that you can trust me enough to welcome you into this work. To get to know you and work alongside you to find the things that seem to repeat themselves in your life. To understand why - but just as importantly, how - they happen. To create a space in which you will feel seen, heard, and understood. In the way I work, I will address the current situations you bring to therapy and also try and understand them with you in the context of the life you've lived until now.

My practice is varied, although the focus over the years has been the LGBTQ community. I also see singles, couples and families not identified as LGBTQ. My role is to be a supportive agent, assisting the client to explore their past and present and to be more open about conflicts that are causing stress. Together, we explore the clients family history, in order to develop a deeper understanding of their present patterns and relationships. Anxiety, low self-esteem, sexuality, work problems are all examined. As a parent who has adopted, I work with families and individuals around adoption/foster care issues.

Hi there - I'm Shea, a Somatic Experiencing (SE) therapist for individuals and an Emotionally Focused (EFT) couples and family therapist. I love supporting people on their journey toward greater wholeness, aliveness and freedom in themselves, their relationships and their purpose in the world. I am passionate about working with individuals, couples and families who are stuck in habitual, painful cycles born from past trauma, and who deeply long to get unstuck. I help people transform anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating issues, addictions, and relational conflict/mistrust in their lives.

As a dedicated mental health counselor and mindfulness educator, I am committed to guiding you towards emotional well-being and personal fulfillment. My practice is rooted in a deep-seated belief in the power of integrating Existential Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-Based approaches to navigate life's challenges. With a foundation in these evidence-based approaches, I aim to help you uncover and align with your core values, cultivate resilience, and live intentionally.

Looking deeply into your life, your struggles, and what gives you strength and meaning can be a transformative and a healing process. Helping people to do this is a passion of mine. Working to understand your struggles in greater context, changing behaviors or transforming suffering through insight, we will work directly with the feelings and roots of your struggles. We will work towards goals of greater presence with all aspects of life, and a steady foundation to live a life that has meaning, value, and joy.

What brings you to therapy? You might be struggling with feelings of anxiety and depression, and that you’re not quite sure where these feelings come from or how to deal with them. Do you have a history of difficult experiences that continue to impact your decisions? Are you feeling like your internal struggles are causing difficulties in your life and leading to problems at work or at home? If so, you and I are going to work together to address these issues in a deeply meaningful way and get you to feeling better than before. We will work together to find a path for your life and career that fills you with pride and fulfillment.

Together, we will explore feelings, beliefs, and behaviors and work through challenging or influential memories to better understand yourself and others, and work toward your desired change and growth. I have worked extensively with busy professionals, artists, musicians, and individuals striving to express their creativity in unique, and significant ways. As a Relational Psychoanalyst we will work together to explore yourself in depth and create new meaning in your life.

My ideal client is ready to challenge themselves to do the work and is tired of feeling stuck or on autopilot. You may have long struggled with focus, sticking to a plan, anxiety, or follow-through. You may find you're still living your life according to your upbringing, rather than in the present. As a result, you may feel overwhelmed, depressed, like you've wasted time, or have no control. I enjoy helping people through life transitions. I also have expertise working with people in startups and technology fields, decision making, and adult ADHD. If you are ready to make some changes, but need a partner, consider reaching out.

Welcome to my page! I'm glad you're here. The decision to seek out therapy often happens during a particularly difficult moment in life. Whatever has brought you here, I believe therapy should feel like a safe environment where you are treated with curiosity and compassion. I bring extensive knowledge of LGBTQ+ communities, as well as expertise on the unique issues faced by non-monogamous people and BDSM-aligned individuals. I focus on a wide array of presenting issues, but specialize in working with clients who have struggling with problematic sexual behaviors, sexual offenses, and histories of abuse.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with a range of age groups and therapeutic needs. I chose social work because of its holistic approach considering the whole person: body, mind, and environmental systems lived when providing psychotherapy. Therapy with me is collaborative and non-judgmental using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Psychodynamic relational work (talk therapy) which support development of secure attachment behaviors, healing and desensitization of past traumas/PTSD, and development of a deeper connection to internal self-worth. All providing a foundation for lasting change.

Spiritual Intuitive. You are stuck. Want to get out of your situation? Crave release of old patterns, feelings, beliefs? Desire to achieve, but can't quite reach what you should be yours, but isn't? To find the answers, explore your own subconscious. You may be holding onto old stuff from your earlier years, or picked up a belief from family, culture, peers, etc. that hinders you in your life today. You desire to be free, to have the burden lifted, to find success. Anger, fear, sadness or lack of Joy bog you down? By going within, you can find all the old issues, and through Intuitive guidance and energy work, Release It All.

Are you struggling to find fulfillment in some areas of your life? Are you worrying about the future? That you'll never be able to own a home? Reach financial stability? Have close relationships with family and friends? A romantic partner? Perhaps your work is leaving you with a feeling of purposelessness. You're a bright person with many goals, but you're unsure how to tackle them. Therapy can be a place to process the emotions surrounding these, process past trauma, reframe how you see yourself and reevaluate how you can take charge of your role in the things that happen around you. Things don't have to be the way they are now.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in New York and New Jersey. I provide psychotherapy to adults and children in both English and Mandarin Chinese (普通话). I offer individual and family/couple psychotherapy with a focus on depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and intense emotional states, such as fear, anger, hopelessness, and shame. I work with people who have survived trauma and other deep emotional wounds, as well as those going through life transitions, such as becoming a parent, entering a new job or relationship, break ups, or the complexities of adjusting to life in a new culture and society.

Hello Everybody! I specialize in supporting the mental health of people for whom dominant culture is not a good fit. Over the years, the mainstay of my clients identify as: LGBTQIA+, autistic / otherwise neuro-divergent, BIPOC, having medical needs or are differently physicially-abled, as having intellectual / developmental / learning disabilities, having esoteric / magick / minority religious practitioners (and many times, some combination of the above). I focus on helping people working through C-PTSD, those who are part of minority sexual communities (Queer, Kinky, Non-Monogamous, etc.),

I work with unique individuals who are seemingly successful and happy but deep inside feel lost, alone, even if they are in a relationship, and often feel like they don't belong or struggle to be present in life. With expertise gathered from years of experience across borders, time zones and cultures, I dive alongside men and women into the deep ocean of darkness— including all types of diversity, in-between/intersecting identities, worldwide travelers, high-achieving/performing and creative people. I am Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) certified and was formerly a clinical supervisor and psychologist at Johns Hopkins University.

I believe that putting words to experience within a collaborative therapeutic partnership can be immensely healing. I offer a warm, curious, and non-judgmental environment where we can safely explore anything you may be going through. I work with individuals of all ages with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life and career transitions, work-related stress, trauma/history of abuse, grief, shame, and questions around gender and sexuality. I also provide couples and marriage counseling. I enjoy working with those who are curious about the ways they may not understand themselves and view the change process as a journey.

Adolescents and young people are creating a bridge for their adult future. I am passionate about guiding this process of transformation for the world’s future.

Gary teaches teens to meet their absolute place in the world. Together I help each adolescent move beyond stuck-ness, anxiety or uncertainty. You may be a parent struggling with your teen’s screen or gaming addiction with no solution. Left alone, it could take years - if ever – for him move to a zest for life.
