If you are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges, I’m here to tell you that while your experiences may be uncomfortable, you are normal. Everyone has challenges. Criticizing yourself and pushing yourself harder may get you closer to where you want to go on the outside, but will leave you feeling even more empty and alone from the inside.

I understand the vulnerability, trust and courage it takes to engage in psychotherapy and confide your deepest worries, fears and desires in someone. I also know that it can be challenging to nourish your self-esteem and experience positive emotions when you feel consumed by excessive worry and the recurrent distress of traumatic events. You don’t have to do this alone. Together we will work on developing the mechanisms you need to cultivate inner peace and harmony as you weather some of your life’s transitions.

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma or feeling secure in your relationships? Do you give everything you have to your loved ones & responsibilities, but still feel stuck in toxic cycles, overwhelmed, and unsure how to change it? Whether you’re struggling with a difficult life transition, or something that happened long ago, I can help you create a new way to live. As a therapist for 20 years, I’ve developed a gentle, holistic approach to therapy. Using innovative tools, I'll help you tune into your authentic inner voice & change the way you think. I’ll be your guide to unlocking the joy and ease that you're missing.

My approach to therapy is rooted in joy, and appreciation for the vibrancy of each person I treat. When stress, anxiety, depression, history of trauma, or complicated relationship or family dynamics impact our daily lives, it can be challenging to have self-compassion, find solutions, or ask for help. With consistent treatment, most clients see a decrease in severity of symptoms, improved ease in managing stressful situations, and an increase in self-esteem and quality of relationships.

Eres humano, eres digno, eres amado y tienes valor. Sé que te estás preguntando, "¿alguna vez mejoraré?" "¿Voy a superar esto"? La respuesta es SÍ, PUEDES y Lo harás!

Hello, I am LaToya J. Johnson, an NYS Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of counseling experience. I have provided care to individuals with chronic mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, PTSD, racial identity issues, relationship concerns, intellectual disabilities, and substance abuse. The most common theoretical approaches I use in my work are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma Informed Care, and Person Center Therapy. I believe every person has a right to live a happy and fulfilled life.

Do you work in a helping profession? Are you the primary caregiver for a child or aging parent? Do you feel like you give so much to others you have little left to give to yourself? Whether in a professional or personal context, I understand that caring for others full-time can be challenging, overwhelming, and often leads to feelings of anxiety, depression, and burnout.

I help people reconnect with their inherent worth and well-being, something that challenging life experiences (especially trauma) have an unfortunate way of obscuring. Doing so allows you to flow more freely in the world, get more from life, and embrace adventure. In other words: it's about finding the pathway to live the deepest and richest life possible. To do this, I blend evidence-based psychotherapy approaches like CBT, IFS & EMDR with contemplative practices from the wisdom traditions, including mindfulness, nonduality, and stoicism.

Integrative Therapeutic Coaching nurtures the power of the human spirit and its vast capacity for development and transformation. This includes specific steps that promote change and lead to practical, achievable goals. My approach emphasizes compassion and communication as key components in building, healing, and maintaining healthy relationships. I believe that encouragement, understanding, knowledge and action promote growth in the family system and in each individual family member.

Welcome! I'm a native, Bi-lingual (Spanish/English) Latinx therapist. I am intentional in curating a space in which you can show up as your authentic self. My approach is a combination of a laid-back style with implementation of tools and skills to help you work towards your goals. I work with adolescents and adults with an interest in investing in their growth and healing. My experience includes over seven years of working with folks with anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence, PTSD and complex trauma, romantic and family relationships, personality disorders, and adjustment to lifestyle changes.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) clinical social worker with over 16 years experience of working with adults and adolescents. I believe therapy is a tool used to help guide people in achieving the life goals they set for themselves. If you have a teenager experiencing depression, anxiety, or identity conflicts call me to discuss how I can help. If you are an adult feeling stuck, having relationship conflicts, employment stress or grief/loss I look forward to hearing from you. I will work with you to learn skills to manage life’s challenges while identifying past experiences that may be driving the decisions you make today.

Therapy is about you and meeting your goals and needs. It is a safe space to be vulnerable and be heard. I am here to support you and help you navigate those feelings, thoughts and emotions. I specialize in women's topics ( infertility, fertility, motherhood, miscarriage, any forms of loss), Self-esteem/self-love, relationship problems and or ambivalence about the path you are on. Women face many challenges in this world that require attention, empathy, and support in order to create healing. Healing is ongoing and I am the right person to help you figure out your own recipe for healing and what that may look like for you.

Find your balance in life and restore your connection to your purpose. Entering therapy can be both an exciting and challenging time in one’s life. Many people enter the therapeutic process to deal with traumatic experiences, to cope with loss, transitions, and relationship stress. Others just want to discover new ways of dealing with old problems. My practice is here to help guide you through that journey. My therapeutic interventions focus on your relationship with the self, your partner(spouse), family members, children, and your work/vocation.

Hi. My name is Jennifer Rodriguez-Irizarry and I’m a Licensed Social Worker (LMSW) in New York. I have been working with communities of color for the past 15 years. I have worked with adults, young adults and children. I am a first-generation Bilingual Latina Woman. I am passionate about helping the Latino/a community to feel comfortable expressing their feelings and not holding things in. We believe in being strong! Being a first-generation Dominican Latino I know what challenges comes with that title.

Do you feel stuck, anxious and depressed? Have you tried other forms of therapy but didn't "click" with the therapist or achieve the longstanding changes you hoped to make? Are you neurodivergent and have you struggled to feel understood by past providers? Whether you're new to therapy, or have tried several different approaches that have yet to offer the relief you seek, I offer an approach that will radically alter your belief in what is "wrong" and what is possible.

Returning to a new normal after our Covid experience has been challenging. Therefore, finding a space of stability from moment to moment is essential, and I can provide that for you. We are in a place of recovery from the impact of the original COVID and new variants seem to be ongoing. The damage done to mental health from COVID has become evident, and anxiety is at its peak. We have had to pivot in order to stabilize finances, and relationships, to feel secure. We have learned new skills in a time of crises, and grieve for those who have passed.

So you are Professional Working Parents and one of your children has been recently diagnosed with Autism... now what? What does that mean for you? For them? What do you do next?- I can show you the way! Save time, misteps, and delays moving forward by charting a course coming to terms with and accepting the news and learn how you can keep yourselves sane and healthy so that you can be your child's best advocate and preserve your household.

We are inclusive and we welcome clients from all races, ethnicities, genders, religious beliefs, etc. We believe in helping you and your family to live better lives. We provide mental health services that treat and address the effects of many of the concerns prevalent in Latinx, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities: chronic stress, trauma, depression and anxiety as a result of poverty, insecure housing, racism, harassment, and discrimination. For families with children suspected of developmental delays, Autism or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, we offer diagnostic evaluations.

How does one belong and feel connected to others without giving up their true selves? How does one find one's place and purpose in this world? How does one take their most cherished values and use them to find more meaning and fulfillment in their lives? These questions emerge at different points in one's lifetime and can easily be drowned out by life's events (ex. breakups, school issues, life transitions, trauma). I help pre-teens, teens, young adults and full-fledged adults with these questions. I'm a seasoned mental health therapist who has worked in variety of hospital, community mental health and school health settings.
