With over a decade of experience, Dipesh Patel helps adults navigate anxious thoughts, career curveballs, confidence slumps, parenting puzzles, infertility/family building stress, dating detours, and LGBTQ+ concerns. He believes therapy should create momentum—measurable progress, clearer thinking, and lasting change that resonates beyond the session. His mantra is that therapy, good therapy, should create some sort of movement. Whether it’s helping you create actual, tangible change in your life or helping move along an internal conversation that you can’t seem to make progress in.

Hi, I’m Christina Cornejo, LCSW. I’ve been providing therapy for about eight years, and my passion lies in supporting young adults who are navigating the overwhelming transition into adulthood. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or even unsure, my goal is to help you feel more grounded and confident in who you are becoming. I believe in meeting you where you are offering a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can be honest, feel heard, and grow at your own pace. Therapy isn’t about having it all figured out; it’s about having someone walk with you as you discover your path. My practice focuses on breaking intergenerational patterns, strengthening communication, and untangling the internal conflicts that arise when you’re stepping from teens to adulthood, or into a new life transition such as a school, relationship, and/or job. Let's work on discovering yourself. I understand the pressure that can come from school, family expectations, and trying to figure out who you are in a world that doesn’t always reflect your experience. My passion is helping you recognize and unlearn harmful patterns so you can start to redefine yourself on your own terms.

Life can be a wild time, sometimes. If you find yourself caught in the trap of overthinking, battling indecision, and wrestling with low mood or motivation, I'm here to help. Usually, you're a powerhouse—driven, self-motivated, and somewhat self-aware. Yet, there are those times when self-care takes a back seat, and you feel stuck in patterns that just won't budge.

I work best with clients who may appear to have it together on the outside while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted. Many are navigating trauma, OCD, mood changes, identity exploration, or relationship stress. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQ+ clients and those looking for an authentic, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to better understand themselves and heal.

Practicing through UpLift Mental Health services. Providing support for stress, anxiety, depression through empathy, understanding and tools to utilize for better coping. My main modalities of treatment are mindfulness, CBT and solution focused therapy. With these I have seen growth and stability with my clients. We all have the capability to use tools for good mental health. We just need someone to help us discover and utilize them. I have found from personal experience that when you have a purpose in life you can achieve anything you put your mind to. My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying strengths to build confidence in the therapeutic process.

Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey to heal from struggles related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, or relationship issues. As a clinical mental health counselor for young adults and adults of diverse backgrounds, I’m here to help you navigate the complexity of the human experience, as well as build resilience and strengthen confidence in your ability to handle day-to-day life. I believe laughter is a good medicine, and while healing is something to be taken seriously, laughter can make the hard parts easier. That’s why my approach is direct and rooted in reality, yet humorous. I'm passionate about my role as a witness to my patients’ journeys to wellness, and look forward to joining your journey and supporting your healing in our work together. I believe each person knows themself better than anyone else, and thus already possesses the knowledge and strength needed to make the changes they desire. This belief helps me in my role as a collaborator in your therapeutic journey: someone to witness the good, bad, and ugly, and provide support through all of them. In our time together, you can expect a warm, friendly, and supportive environment, one that is tailored to you and comes with therapeutic homework so you can practice the things you want to improve on outside the therapy room. My style is direct and change-oriented, using an integrative approach relying mostly on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you explore how your environments, personality, community, and the interactions with them influence thoughts, feelings, and behavior. My path to becoming a therapist began when life did what it usually does, and I found myself at a crossroads deciding between a new dream and an old dream. This struggle led me to back to that old dream, one dedicated to helping people, and my commitment to doing this as a therapist. In my practice, I consider it an honor to bear witness to the struggles and breakthroughs of my patients, and be able to support them throughout these experiences. I bring intention, care, and respect, along with a healthy dose of pop culture knowledge, to each session as we achieve healing goals together. I enjoy a wide variety of interests when I’m not in the office. If I’m not reading, coloring/painting, or watching true crime documentaries, then I’m out and about, discovering new coffee shops and hunting for my next sweet treat!

We are a relational center. Relational psychotherapy is an integrative form of therapy, born from a combination of several therapeutic theories and practices. In the 1980s a shift occurred in the practice of therapy, in that it moved away from simply exploring inner experiences (intrasubjective) and toward greater understanding of the impact of relationships on individual experiences (intersubjective). Since then, relational psychotherapy has expanded, growing to become a widely used theoretical base for many other forms of therapy that focus on a person’s relationships and the impact they can have on emotional and mental wellness. At the same time we offer brain changing therapeutic approaches based on the latest neuroscience information to rewire your brain and achieve long term healing and benefits when talk therapy isn’t enough: EMDR, IFS, Adult Attachment Therapy, Imago, Intuitive Eating… Ask for more information to see which one is the best for you.

One of the biggest misconceptions about therapy is that seeing a therapist is a sign of weakness. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Recognizing the need for help and seeking professional counseling is a sign of both strength and your determination to live a productive and meaningful life. Remember you don’t have to wait for a crisis to make your life better! Please explore my website to get a better feeling of me and my practice. Visit our team and specialty areas sections.

Life can be tough and there is so much that isn't under our control. If you find yourself overwhelmed with overthinking, getting stuck in thought spirals, or coping with lingering feelings of restlessness or anxiety, therapy can help. I specialize in the treatment of OCD and other anxiety disorders and treat depression, trauma and adjustment issues. I utilize a collaborative person-centered perspective that recognizes your expertise in your life. I will work with you to develop a plan including exposure (ERP), mindfulness, cognitive and behavioral (CBT) and other techniques to achieve your therapy goals.

Specializing in identity development and substance use treatment, I work with young people and adults as a Resident in Counseling to help them develop the capacity to fully experience their emotions, and to learn from the powerful wisdom those emotions carry. Whether you're navigating mental health challenges, substance use, men’s issues, or questions of identity and purpose, my focus is on helping you connect more deeply with yourself. I believe in authenticity and transparency in the counseling space. Our relationship is an equal partnership, and I invite you to ask questions about the treatment process and advocate for any needs you have along the way. As a person-centered and relational therapist, I'm passionate about helping people learn how to truly feel. Sessions are always a safe space to express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment, as I ensure a grounded, empathetic, and goal-oriented approach at all times. Using a blend of psychodynamic and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques tailored to your unique goals and cultural values, I help you build awareness of your here-and-now experiences and connect with what those experiences are telling you. My path to becoming a therapist came from my own challenges with identity and purpose. After an unsuccessful bout as a college computer engineer student, I faced a crisis of identity — and was forced to reckon with who I was and what I wanted to do. Pursuing those questions led me to a deep passion for the existential questions of life, and ultimately to a sense of purpose I hadn't found before. That experience is what drives my commitment to helping others connect with themselves and lead lives that feel authentic. Skiing, reading, video games, and traveling are some of my favorite ways to spend time. But what I love most? A good DIY home improvement project!

It can often feel daunting and challenging to ask others for help; however, I am glad you have ended up on my page and are looking for support at this point in your life. My hope as your future therapist is to help you emerge into the best version of yourself by helping you overcome some of the internal barriers that may be impacting how you perceive yourself, others, and the world. As a therapist, I like to approach my work with clients in a collaborative, exploratory, & conversational manner. I will also remain attuned to your unique experiences and intersecting identities (e.g., race, gender, sexuality) throughout our work. ​I have worked with clients on a wide breadth of concerns, including (but not limited to): anxiety, depression, career concerns, relationship concerns, family of origin concerns, identity exploration/development, & interpersonal concerns. I have experience working with undergraduate & graduate students, adults, and other mental health providers. **I am in-network with Aetna (NY, MD, & VA) and Anthem (NY).** I am an out-of-network provider for all other insurances. If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance often will cover a large percentage of the session fee. I can provide a superbill for your sessions, which you can then submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and connected is key. Thus, I offer a complimentary phone consultation to help determine whether we might be a good match. If my approach resonates with you, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

You have been looking at therapist profiles for a long time. You're tired of struggling with symptoms or experiences of anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, low self-esteem, behavioral disorders, academic and career struggles, or cultural issues. You are ready to unpack your baggage, understand yourself, feel more in control, and turn things around for your own well-being. I specialize in helping teens, young adults, and men. I will help you explore the roots of your struggles, develop coping skills, and make positive changes that align with your values for you to manage and overcome unwanted emotions and internal battles while growing to attain your life goals. Feeling safe, understood, and not judged by your therapist leads to a healthy therapeutic relationship, which is one of the strongest predictors of therapeutic success. That is my approach and the way I aim for you to feel in our sessions in a relaxing but challenging environment. Call or email to schedule a consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Sometimes college doesn't go as planned. You had a vision in your head of what this time of your life would be like, but the reality is totally different.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, health anxiety and phobias, such as fear of needles, vomiting (emetophobia), flying, heights, illness or contamination. I also work with clients in challenging professional and academic environments, who may feel anxious or overwhelmed to the point of avoidance, struggle with self-criticism, or fear they won’t be successful without a punishing level of perfectionism. Many clients find themselves holding back from social situations, dating, public speaking, or professional opportunities due to a fear that something will go wrong, and uncertainty feels intolerable. My approach is warm, collaborative, and highly practical, helping you live a life not constrained by fear. I draw primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—two of the most effective evidence-based treatments for anxiety, OCD, and phobias. I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic thinking, and supportive psychotherapy when helpful. Many clients understandably fear facing their worries or phobias. In our work together, you can expect to feel seen, supported and encouraged as we pursue your goals at a pace that feels manageable to you. I hold a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from George Washington University, and have more than a decade of clinical experience with clients across the lifespan.
