​ Katie is currently pursuing her Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling at Adelphi University. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Education and Human Development from Boston University, where she focused on child and adolescent mental health. Katie approaches therapy in a warm, genuine, and down-to-earth way. She believes that feeling truly understood is at the center of meaningful change, and works to create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves without fear of judgment. She values building strong, trusting relationships and meets each client where they are, recognizing that everyone’s experiences and needs are different. Her work is guided by a trauma-informed and developmentally focused lens, with an emphasis on understanding how past experiences shape the way we think, feel, and relate to others. She draws from psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches, helping clients both explore deeper patterns and develop practical tools to navigate everyday challenges. Katie has experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults, and is especially interested in supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She is passionate about helping clients build insight, feel more confident in themselves, and develop healthier ways of coping. Above all, Katie strives to create a space that feels real, supportive, and safe, where clients can take the time they need to understand themselves and grow.

I believe therapy is a supportive space where you don’t have to face challenges alone. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, navigate change, and move forward with clarity and confidence. Using a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach, I support children and adults through anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and am passionate about helping clients heal, grow, and thrive.

Welcome to FRESH Psychotherapy! Our practice specialties include treatment of problems related to foster care, adoption, family and other interpersonal relationships, issues with attachment, anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. Therapists on staff have extensive experience working with individuals and families experiencing issues related to acute and chronic life stressors.

Learning how to navigate life as a young adult is hard! You are trying to balance the demands of work or school, family, and friends, all while while figuring out who you are and who you want to be. As a driven and successful individual, you may put a lot of pressure on yourself and feel constrained by your own expectations. This can lead to constant self-doubt and feeling like you’re always reaching for an unattainable (or unrealistic) goal. You may be overextending yourself to others, and not focusing on yourself. Perhaps you have negative thought patterns or behaviors that are causing discomfort or you don’t always understand your reactions. Let’s work together to discover the barriers that are keeping you from finding balance in your life - taking care of yourself and setting boundaries is not selfish! I provide virtual therapy to clients located in New York, Florida, and internationally.

I believe everyone has a vision for the life they want to be living and that often times people have difficulty achieving and making their vision a reality. In my work as a psychotherapist I help people develop their own capacities, skills, and inner resources, so they can address their problems, and live a more satisfying life. People often come to therapy to deal with situations and problems that have effected their sense of self and their sense of safety and left them struggling to navigate their lives and relationships. People benefit from and need to be able to heal from the negative ways their pasts have impacted them. I welcome the opportunity to support and guide you on your journey of self-discovery and change, by actively engaging in the process of psychotherapy with you. Some of the problems people come to me with include stress, family and relationship problems, LGBTQ+ and sexual identity issues, anxiety, depression, histories of trauma, and more. I look forward to working with you in your therapy.

Let’s face it, taking the steps towards bettering your life can be hard. But let’s also recognize that you just accomplished a hard thing by finding me here in the first place! As your therapist, I am committed to helping you navigate all of those challenges life throws your way by using an approach that is centered around your needs, in a place that makes you feel safe and heard. My work is done through a strength based, person focused lens as this journey in therapy is about YOU. I have experience supporting adolescents and adults struggling to work through an array of challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment and life transitions, and LGBTQ+ issues. I want to be someone who not only listens to you and your needs, but also works with you to create the tools and skills that help you get through those “life is really hard” days.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and sadness? Are you struggling with habits that make you feel like you’re in a rut? Maybe you’re having difficulty adjusting to changes in your life and need compassionate support? I have several years of experience working with these issues with clients from diverse backgrounds, and utilizing effective evidence based approaches and compassionate understanding that create an affirming space for healing and change. I utilize an integrative approach that emphasizes CBT, Somatic, Person-centered, and DBT practices to help you learn and implement effective skills, develop compassionate and affirming self acceptance, and uncover and integrate insight as you move towards your goals.

Sometimes words don’t fully capture our experiences or do them justice. My journey into this work began with the discovery that art, music, movement, and other forms of creative expression can communicate the parts of ourselves that language alone cannot reach. These expressions are deeply human and can become powerful pathways to insight, healing, and connection. Therapy asks for honesty, vulnerability, and commitment, but it does not have to focus only on pain. My approach balances depth and growth with humor, curiosity, and discovery. Art therapy is not about being “good” at art; it is about using creativity and reflection to gain insight, process experiences, and foster new perspectives and possibilities. Together, we will explore patterns, relationships, challenges, and goals while strengthening resilience, quieting self-critical thoughts, and developing practical tools for navigating life’s challenges. Our work creates the foundation for deeper self-understanding, greater balance, and lasting growth.

I’m a licensed psychologist based in New York City, working with young adults, adults, and couples who want to feel more grounded and connected in their lives. People often come to me for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, substance use, or the effects of past trauma. Others are simply looking for a better understanding of themselves and the patterns that keep showing up. As a gay therapist, I bring both personal and professional experience to my work with the LGBTQ+ community. I offer a space that’s affirming, open, and free of judgment—where you can be fully yourself. We’ll go at your pace, using evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches that fit you as a person. My goal is to make therapy feel safe, collaborative, and genuinely helpful—so you can move toward greater clarity, confidence, and self-understanding.

With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in anxiety, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic attacks, and social anxiety, as well as depression and ADHD. I also support college students navigating academic stress, overthinking, self-doubt, perfectionism, social and relationship challenges, and balancing school, work, and personal responsibilities. I integrate evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help you achieve your goals. You’ll develop practical tools to respond differently to unhelpful or intrusive thoughts, cope with uncertainty, manage intense emotions, and build a life that feels meaningful, enjoyable, and grounded. Our work focuses on lasting change, not just short-term relief. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, nonjudgmental, and down-to-earth. Therapy provides a supportive space to better understand yourself, develop practical skills, and work toward your personal, academic, and professional goals. Sessions are offered through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, making it easy to fit therapy into your busy schedule.

Therapy for Young Adults Living with Loss and Grief in New York Navigating the overwhelming waves of grief can leave you feeling isolated, even when surrounded by those who care. You might find yourself holding back tears at work, striving to maintain composure while your world feels upside down. Socializing may amplify your loneliness, as peers struggle to grasp the depth of your loss. Perhaps your thoughts are consumed by "what ifs" and "if onlys," leaving little room for anything else. The person you once turned to is gone, and you're left wondering how to move forward without them. Imagine a life where memories of your loved one bring comfort instead of only pain. You feel connected to others, no longer overwhelmed by loneliness. Each day, you rediscover joy and purpose, engaging fully in relationships, work and hobbies. Therapy can help you honor their memory while embracing your own future. I'm a licensed psychotherapist with over a decade of experience, as well as a human who's experienced loss myself. Together we'll create a safe, non-judgmental space to navigate your emotions and build healthy coping mechanisms. Reach out today for a free consultation with someone who actually "gets it."

My name is Ricardo and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My work focuses on supporting people navigating eating disorders, OCD, and the unique experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals. These struggles can feel isolating—but they don’t have to be. I offer a warm, affirming space where you don’t have to explain or justify who you are or what you’re going through. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and pain points in your life with care. I use approaches like CBT, Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), and motivational interviewing, always through a trauma-informed and person-centered lens. But just as important as the tools is the relationship—we’ll build something grounded in trust and mutual respect. I know how loud the inner critic can get, how overwhelming it feels to be stuck in loops of anxiety, shame, or self-doubt. You deserve relief, and you deserve to feel more at home in yourself. Therapy can be a space where you get to exhale and be fully seen. If anything here resonates, I invite you to reach out.

It's getting more and more difficult to resist your compulsions. You're getting upset with yourself for not having enough "willpower." You're having frightening thoughts about yourself and others. Thoughts that scare you or contradict your values and who you are as a person. You experience self-hate every time you give into a compulsion. You're exhausted by your own mental and/or physical compulsions. You struggle to trust yourself and often experience shame surrounding your thoughts. You keep it all to yourself because you fear that others will judge you or betray you. Simultaneously, you need emotional support more than ever. My clinical training includes a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University and a master's degree in Clinical Social work from Hunter College. I utilize ERP, the gold standard for OCD, CBT, and solution-focused therapy. I also provide mindfulness tools to help clients increase awareness around behaviors. I work collaboratively with my clients, using my clinical background and their knowledge of self and am grateful to witness them transform into versions of themselves that they never thought were possible. It is a privilege to be allowed into the minds and hearts of my clients. I welcome you to reach out for a free consultation to see if we're a good fit.

Hello and welcome! I am a psychotherapist licensed in New York and Massachusetts with over ten years of experience in NYC. I graduated with my Masters in Social Work from New York University and Bachelors in Psychology from The New School. As a therapist specializing in psychodynamic therapy, I provide a warm and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and past experiences openly to gain a deeper understanding of your inner world. Speaking freely in therapy fosters an environment where new thoughts can emerge, leading to transformative change and personal growth. I have experience supporting clients through a wide range of issues, including depression, grief, self-esteem, trauma, anxiety, OCD, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. I take an integrative and personalized approach. I believe a positive and supportive relationship with a therapist can help us gain insight, develop self-compassion, and navigate the challenges of life. I provide in-depth talk therapy and integrate techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness practices. I am currently pursuing post-graduate clinical training in Psychoanalysis. During our initial consultation, I will guide you through the process and discuss your hopes for therapy. My goal is to support you in creating an enriching and fulfilling life based on your values. I am a trauma-informed, social justice oriented, and LGBTQIA+ affirming provider.

Therapy with me is about understanding who you are, where you come from, and honoring what’s alive in you. Our work together is a collaborative unfolding. With a creative, holistic approach, I open the space to move beyond surface problem-solving and into the heart of your story—where healing, growth, and expansion can take root. Think of therapy less as a straight line and more as a spiral: each turn bringing deeper insight, greater clarity, and new ways of being. Together, we’ll create a grounded, compassionate space where your wholeness is remembered and your complexity is celebrated.
