You deserve to re-connect with yourself and others. I would be honored to partner with you and support your nervous system in accessing more ease, empowerment, and joy.

I specialize in trauma-informed therapy with a strong foundation in social justice, offering a compassionate space for healing and reconnection. My approach is collaborative and respectful of your inner strengths. Together, we’ll revisit past wounds when necessary, but always with intention and safety; not just to talk, but to heal. I integrate EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, parts work, mindfulness tools, and somatic approaches to support lasting resilience and emotional clarity. My practice is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in deep respect for all living beings. If you’ve experienced discrimination or systemic harm, I offer a space where your story is seen and honored. Therapy doesn’t have to re-traumatize. It can be a doorway to relief, confidence, and peace. If this sounds like what you need, I’d love to hear from you.

Does the thought of relaxing stress you out and make you feel guilty for wanting to do so? Do you spend your free time thinking about how you need to get more done? Does it feel like your responsibilities between school and personal life feel never ending? I know asking for help can feel like you’ve “failed” at life, but you realize nothing is working and it’s time to see some change. You don’t know how you can adapt to all these changes. My name is Collette, and I help anxious high achievers channel their natural problem solving skills and strengths so that you can make more confident decisions, stop feeling bad for putting you first and start spending more time on the things that matter most to you. If you’re ready to stop placing your worth on what you can do for others and start enjoying a more fulfilled life, reach out today and see if I am the right fit for you. During our free 15 minute chat, we discuss what’s been going on to see how I can best help you and we talk next steps.

I am a compassionate and experienced clinical psychologist dedicated to supporting teens, young adults, and adults on their journey to mental well-being.

Facing difficulties in life can seem overwhelming, seeking therapy is a courageous first step in your journey for emotional wellness. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Board Certified Art Therapist, I work from a client centered, strength based methodology to address personal life challenges. I believe in a collaborative approach, assisting clients find meaning from their struggle and create a path towards healing. I have found the benefit of integrating Art Therapy within the counseling relationship makes it possible to express what sometimes might be difficult or impossible to communicate with words. My methodology in the healing process is collaborative, supportive, while utilizing cognitive behavioral interventions interwoven with the Art Therapy modality to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem issues. I consider myself the guide on your journey towards healing and the many possibilities that await in different areas of your life.

One of the main focus areas of my practice is working with emerging adults in their late teens, 20's and 30's and helping them navigate the often challenging transition from adolescence to adulthood.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated with yourself — especially around focus, follow-through, confidence, or patterns you want to break — you’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) providing individual therapy to adults seeking practical, supportive, and insight-oriented care. I specialize in working with clients who want to strengthen executive functioning and ADHD-related challenges, build self-esteem and confidence, and support recovery from addictive behaviors, including alcohol, substances, and process addictions (such as gambling or compulsive sexual behaviors). Many of the clients I work with are highly capable, insightful individuals who feel discouraged by procrastination, self-doubt, impulsivity, or repeated cycles they struggle to change. Therapy with me focuses on helping you better understand your patterns, develop effective coping strategies, and build a more grounded and confident relationship with yourself. I commonly support clients with: -ADHD and executive functioning challenges (organization, time management, follow-through) -Low self-esteem, self-criticism, and confidence at work or in relationships -Anxiety related to performance, decision-making, or life transitions Addiction recovery (alcohol, substances, gambling, sex or compulsive behaviors) -Emotional regulation and impulse control Stress, burnout, and feeling “stuck” My therapeutic style is collaborative, structured, and compassionate. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic insight, tailoring therapy to your goals and pace. I aim to create a space where you feel supported, challenged when helpful, and empowered to make meaningful progress. Clients often describe therapy with me as supportive, thoughtful, and goal-oriented.

I'm a Clinical Psychologist, licensed in the State of New York, and have over 20 years of experience in successfully helping college students who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief & loss, and poor self-esteem. I enjoy working with people from a variety of different backgrounds, identities, and life circumstances. I take the privilege of working with patients very seriously and am committed to providing a consistent, supportive, and productive therapy experience to each of them, in every session. I have specific training in several treatment approaches (Interpersonal therapy, CBT, & contemporary psychodynamic therapy among them), and tailor the work to the particular needs of each patient. Regardless of the approach, however, my goal is always to work together to find practical strategies and solutions we can use to create real, meaningful change. While my experience and training are certainly important to how I approach this work, I believe my genuine personal warmth and natural sense of humor are also central to creating therapy relationships that feel safe and transformative. If you'd like to discuss the possibility of our working together, I'd be happy to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

Do you feel exhausted from trying to hold everything together? Maybe you have always been the responsible one or the person others rely on. You pushed through stress, anxiety, and family challenges because you felt like you had to. At first it seemed manageable, but now the pressure feels heavier and harder to carry. On the outside you appear confident and put together. Inside you might feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or worried that you cannot keep this up much longer. Wanting a break does not mean you are failing. It means you are human. I’m Sara, and I help students who are tired of perfectionism, constant pressure, and the weight of expectations. I work with people who want healthier relationships, better communication, and support as they process past experiences that still affect them today. My background includes ACT, CBT, TF-CBT, Brainspotting, and group therapy training, which allows me to tailor our work to what you need. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, honest, and real environment where you can finally let your guard down. I show up as myself so you can feel comfortable showing up as yourself too. You deserve a space where you can put down the pressure you have been carrying and focus on feeling grounded, supported, and hopeful. I am here to help you get there.

What could you navigate in a safe space? I will use a warm, compassionate approach as we explore what you might be seeking. Perhaps you long for fulfillment or a clarified sense of purpose. Maybe you feel stuck in patterns that don't serve you. Perhaps you are sad or anxious, grappling with a relationship, or coping with a loss. I believe sorting out your thoughts and feelings together can yield a more enjoyable life. My background is concentrated in medicine and mental health, with a particular attention to the mind-body connection. I tend to work with a lot of college students and enjoy assisting clients with life transitions and identity exploration. My specialties include LGBTQ, gender, life transitions, disabilities, and career options. I earned a BA in psychology and an MSW in social work from Tulane University. I am licensed in Louisiana, MA, and New York. I look forward to hearing from you and beginning our work together.

I offer compassion, support, and information to help you get to the root of the problems that are troubling you. I work from a holistic perspective, supporting your emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual health so that you can integrate your strengths, optimize your energy and progress toward your goals. Together we can identify any barriers and problem solve, clearing them away so your future looks brighter than ever.

Healing is rarely linear, and finding a provider who truly meets you where you are can make all the difference. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner bringing extensive clinical experience to every session, I specialize in helping people across the lifespan navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and mood disorders. Whether you're facing something you've carried for years or navigating a new and difficult chapter, you deserve a space grounded in trust and open, honest communication. My goal is to be a reliable, collaborative partner in your care, helping you gain clarity, strengthen your coping skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. Compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered care is more than a philosophy; it's how every session is shaped. Helping you better understand your mental health and build a sustainable path toward healing and resilience is what this work is all about. You can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where your unique needs and goals guide the direction of care. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and medication management, my focus is on developing practical coping skills and improving your emotional well-being. Every approach is thoughtfully tailored to you, because no two people, and no two journeys, are exactly the same. My path to this work began with early work in psychiatric facilities, where I witnessed firsthand the power of compassionate, consistent mental health care. Experiencing that impact deepened my commitment to trauma-informed, patient-centered practice that continues to guide every aspect of care today. Each session is approached with this same level of empathy, clinical insight, and a collaborative spirit, because the relationship between patient and provider matters just as much as the treatment itself. Outside of the office, staying active, creative, and connected to everyday life keeps things grounded. Whether working out, experimenting in the kitchen, or finding a sense of calm and creativity in pottery class, these pursuits bring the same intentionality and presence that shape the care offered to every patient.

I am a clinical psychologist who provides evidence-based, solution-focused treatment in a warm, supportive environment. In my experience most people appreciate a compassionate yet direct approach from their therapist. I work with you to identify and change unhealthy thoughts and behaviors while providing ongoing clear feedback and guidance in a supportive and nonjudgmental manner. As a cognitive-behavioral psychologist, I use research-based treatment techniques while tailoring therapy to your unique needs and circumstances. People tell me they feel comfortable and at ease with me and quickly learn that I work hard to help them reach their goals. I look forward to working with you to create a more content, rewarding, and satisfying life for yourself.

Hi, my name is Dr. Evan Podolak. I am a psychologist and work with teens and adults to help them if they are struggling with anxiety, depression, fears, stress and relationship issues. I work collaboratively with students to help them think about their problems in a more helpful way and to learn better ways to cope with their daily experiences.

College can bring pressure, transition, and a sense of disconnection from yourself or others. Many students struggle with anxiety, eating concerns, mood shifts, or feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to change alone. I work with students to understand what’s underneath these experiences and to build a steadier, more grounded way of navigating life.
