I am an MHC-LP who is passionate about helping patients ages 16 to 65 who are struggling with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, addiction, trauma, phobias, and life transitions. I take an empathetic, patient-centered, and trauma-informed approach, creating a safe, supportive space where you can reconnect with your inner resilience and move toward meaningful healing. My style is collaborative and grounded, tailored to your unique needs, life experiences, and goals. I look forward to supporting your growth, helping you reconnect with your inner strengths, and creating space for lasting change. Working together, you heal in a compassionate and nonjudgmental environment that incorporates Mindfulness-based techniques and attachment work to help build self-awareness and heal from past wounds. I believe in the healing power of authentic connection and unconditional positive regard, which helps me be a steady, compassionate partner in your healing process. During our initial session, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand and work collaboratively to create a treatment plan that best suits your goals and life experiences. You can expect structured sessions with me as we work to lessen symptoms and build an improved life together. My path toward helping others through therapeutic care began with my own experience navigating the challenges of anxiety and trauma in early adulthood. Going through therapy myself helped me understand the power of being seen, heard, and supported without judgment. This experience deepened my commitment to providing a safe, empathetic space for others, where healing feels possible and growth can unfold at each person’s pace. Now, I bring lived experience, deep empathy, and a grounded, trauma-informed approach to each session. On my time off, I enjoy a wide range of activities to practice self-care. Hobbies include mindful hiking, yoga, long walks, journaling, listening to music, playing tennis, and reading psychology books!

I have supported young adults as undergrads and graduate students in balancing stress, anxiety, depression, work, relationships and family conflicts for over 20 years. Many students and graduates come to me during and after college in transition periods when they are dealing with academic, workplace, relationship and even conflicts with parents and siblings. While I often provide individual therapy, I have specialties in relationships (couples counseling) and adult family therapy (adult children, parents, siblings).

As a therapist, I support adults in their quests to overcome a number of concerns including: anxiety, depression, identity, grief, and life transitions. To do so, I offer a safe space for those feeling overwhelmed or unsure of their next steps. Together, we will explore emotional patterns, build coping tools, and strengthen self-awareness. Our goal is for you to move forward with clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of confidence while creating meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative, warm, and empowering, as I am passionate about helping you gain insight and foster growth and well-being in your everyday life. I look forward to supporting you as you develop the practical tools necessary to navigate life’s challenges and find greater balance. I approach each client with empathy and understanding, creating a safe space for us to explore your feelings and face your challenges. Our time together is tailored to fulfilling your goals. To achieve this level of success, I use evidence-based practices. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic approaches to help you build resilience, self-awareness, and coping skills. My path to becoming a therapist began in my role as an early education teacher. I realized my passion extended beyond academics to supporting students’ emotional and behavioral needs, and deepened my understanding of how early experiences can play a pivotal role in life. Now, I bring compassionate behavioral health care to diverse age groups to ensure personalized high-quality care. In my free time, I enjoy going for walks, working out, reading, and spending quality time with my dog. I find these activities help me stay grounded, energized, and present, and I love bringing this sense of balance and well-being into my work with clients.

As an experienced mental health professional, my passion lies in exploring and processing trauma, as well as in improving interpersonal understanding and communication. I take a present-focused, strengths-based, and relational therapeutic approach to care, guiding you toward the lasting healing you deserve. Having trained at the VA, I have worked with patients with a variety of diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and PTSD. My specialties also include family issues, gender and sexuality topics, OCD, life transitions, and stress management. I believe that trust is the cornerstone of therapy. As such, our time in the therapy room is tailored together, collaboratively, so you feel comfortable, seen, and heard in our work. Using a combination of talk therapy, motivational interviewing, elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavior Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Gestalt, among others, I seek to meet the goals you and I set together. This will often involve building self-awareness, self-esteem, and understanding of thought patterns.

My name is Matthew (he/him), and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) specializing in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions, approaching your identities—such as race, gender, sexuality, and class—with care and thoughtful attention to the meaning these have in your life. At all times, I am dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming space and building a therapeutic relationship in which you are supported in expressing and understanding yourself. I look forward to empowering you to heal through warmth, compassion, curiosity, and genuine acceptance. I believe that the relationship we build in therapy can be deeply healing. Together, we explore your thoughts, feelings, and relational patterns with the aim of deepening awareness, working through unresolved experiences, and expanding your capacity for change. Throughout this work you learn to look at how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape your present life, relationships, and sense of self. For adults, this is achieved through collaborative work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic therapy. When working with children, I incorporate play therapy to support their emotional expression, development, and connection.

As a therapist with 9 years of experience, I help children, adolescents, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, insecure attachment patterns, life transitions, work stress, and complex personality structures. My job is to provide a deeply curious space where you can listen and learn from yourself, increase self-honesty and understanding, and gain concrete tools for change and regulation – because sometimes knowing the “why” isn't always enough! In my approach, I provide a warm, nonjudgemental, authentic, and at times challenging space where you can make connections from the past to the present in order to break patterns you’ve felt stuck in for so long. I believe passionately that meaningful attunement with you is the most foundational component to your healing journey. At my core, I am a psychodynamic and relational therapist, viewing all patients through a trauma-informed and non-diagnostic lens while integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems often. I take an integrated, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring the treatment to the specific patient at all times. When working together, you can expect a therapist who is dedicated to working collaboratively, adapting treatment to meet your specific needs, and providing you with the tools you need so you can confidently practice what we learn in our sessions outside of therapy. For a complimentary consultation, please reach out by email or phone today! I found myself fascinated with human psychology and behavior from an early age, a fascination that led me to the path where I knew I could make the most effective change. As I continue along this path, I remain committed to bringing curiosity, warmth, honesty, humor, and gentle challenges to each session. In the office as a therapist, I practice self-care by doing a quick grounding exercise before each session, taking a moment to feel my feet on the ground and check in with my body. Outside the office, I love being outdoors, going hiking, reading, and dissecting movies and television.

As a psychodynamic and trauma-focused therapist with 5+ years of experience, I help young and emerging adults navigate through trauma resolutions, depression, codependency, life transitions, minority stress, and relationship or family issues.

I look forward to empowering you in our work together. *I am fluent in Spanish with a Mexican background, and am available and comfortable to conduct sessions in Spanish. My Approach to Care I believe in collaboration, empathy, and healing through evidence-based techniques, ensuring a supportive and safe environment in our time together. My style is warm, supportive, and collaborative, and tailored to your unique lived experience. Care includes psychodynamic and EMDR therapy to help you process past beliefs to strengthen current and future beliefs. At all times, I remain your encouraging partner throughout your healing journey. My path to becoming a therapist began during my year as a teaching assistant in a Chicago public school, where I provided educational and Social Emotional Learning to 6th graders. This experience taught me the value of providing authentic, representative, empathetic, and strength-building care in adolescents and young adults, while deepening my commitment to bringing a cultural and community-based approach to each session. I enjoy all kinds of activities to keep my mind and body rejuvenated – staying active, reading, thrifting, browsing through different museums, and trying new and perfecting old recipes in the kitchen.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. I understand the hesitation, so I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. I have experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, family dynamics, intimate partner violence, and feelings of isolation or disconnection. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin—just a willingness to show up as you are. Therapy doesn’t require the right words or a clear plan; it begins with having a place where your experiences can be shared openly, without judgment or pressure.

Hi, I’m Benjamin. I'm a queer-affirming, trauma-informed mental health counselor offering therapy across New York State. I help individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about who they are or what they need—especially those navigating identity, trauma, and relationships. Many of my clients are adults working through the impact of past trauma, anxiety, shame, or disconnection from themselves or others. Some come to therapy unsure of how to express their needs in relationships, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel right. Others are exploring who they are, who they’ve been told to be, or who they want to become. If that resonates, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. My approach is relational, compassionate, and collaborative. I work from an integration of mindfulness with attachment-focused and trauma-informed therapies. If you're curious about working together, I offer a free 15-minute consultation. I'd love to meet with you.

Starting college is a major transition, and it can bring a mix of excitement, pressure, stress, and uncertainty.

I work with students to better understand their emotional experiences, build confidence, and develop more effective ways of managing stress. Together, we focus on helping you feel more grounded, more connected, and better able to navigate both your inner world and your relationships. I am also licensed to provide comprehensive in-person testing. This may be for your personal understanding of yourself or it could be to support applications for accommodations for academic work at your college or for standardized testing (e.g. GRE, LSAT, MCAT etc).

I’m Lily, a therapist who works with young adults, professionals, and LGBTQIA+ individuals who are tired of living small, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. I believe therapy works best when it’s a real relationship, no blank stares, no “how does that make you feel?” on repeat. I show up as my full self so you can feel safe showing up as yours. In our sessions, we might: -Untangle anxious thoughts so they stop running the show -Explore the beliefs about yourself you didn’t even know you’d been carrying -Learn how to quiet that relentless inner critic -Heal the ways you relate to food, your body, and your worth -Strengthen your boundaries and self-trust I use tools from mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative storytelling, and Intuitive Eating, but always in a way that fits you.
