Hello! My name is Alison, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 6 years of experience. I specialize in treating adults with anxiety, depression, family conflict, and relationship issues. I combine several approaches for treatment including CBT, psychodynamic, mindfulness, attachment-based, and strengths-based. I tailor my approach to each individual client based on their needs. I will provide a safe, trusting environment to empower you through your healing journey. I approach psychotherapy by meeting you where you are at without judgment. I communicate during therapy using an upbeat tone, while soft in offering emotional support. My demeanor is empathic and supportive. My passion is to help you identify unhelpful patterns, build a healthy relationship with yourself and/or others, and improve your daily functioning. I conduct my first session by getting to know you and building rapport. We will explore what brings you into therapy today, your social history, and define the goals you have regarding your treatment to ensure we are a good fit. I encourage you to reach out today! I am part of the Path referral network, which means that when you reach out, my team will get back to you quickly to schedule our first session. I am committed to making therapy affordable. Through Path, I am in-network for most commercial insurances, so you're only responsible for your co-pay!

Anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma are some of the most challenging issues to live with. In my work with individuals, families, and couples I've had the opportunity to help guide my clients through these struggles and begin experiencing more fulfilling lives. I also have experience working with clients on body-image-related issues and deconstructing the standard idea of beauty. If these issues are relatable to you, please know you are not alone. It is extremely courageous to take this first step to seek help and guidance. As a marriage and family therapist, I believe that relational work can be an incredible way to embark on a healing journey. No one lives on this earth alone, nor should we feel as though we do. Strengthening or rebuilding our relationships, even the one we have with ourselves, can positively impact our lives in incredible ways.

We live in a high-paced world, pulling us in all directions, leading us to feel burnt out and disconnected from other people. You might have become tired of the nagging stress, the strong emotions, the complexity of navigating relationships, or the feeling that something is holding you back from reaching your full potential. Despite all of this, a part of you wants to feel better and move forward. After all, that is why you are taking this major step of seeking help at this moment in your life. In my practice, I construct a safe therapeutic space where you can slow down and breathe. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all formula to address your unique history, personality, and concerns. Therefore, I take a holistic and integrative approach. I consider your difficulties, strengths, where you came from, where you are now, and where you want to be. By working together with clients, I help them cultivate emotional intelligence, deepen honest self-reflection, and increase their motivation to change. Most of my clients aim to reduce stress, improve human connection, and live more meaningful lives. If you are ready to start your journey towards wellness, email me to set up a free no-obligation brief consultation.

Mirielle Therapy Practice is a small group practice based out of a private office in midtown Manhattan. We're a diverse group of therapists who specialize in helping early and mid-career stage women who are looking to make important changes in their lives. Issues that are at the core of ones’ identity can be so painful when they are not going well. Concerns about dating, love, friendships, career issues, family, loss, or health can generate intense feelings of sadness, worry, insecurity, and stress. Our purpose is to work collaboratively with you so that you do not feel alone. In addition to helping individuals, we also work to repair mother-daughter relationships, and improve the confidence and well-being of adolescent girls who are attending New York City private schools or specialized high schools. At Mirielle Therapy practice, we specialize in Women and Relationships Therapy in NYC. As our client, it is important that you feel comfortable and accepted. We value working with women from a multitude of: religious backgrounds, nationalities, sexual orientations, and ethnic and cultural identities.

Let me tell you a little bit more about me. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over twenty years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have always loved helping others. My passion for working with people in their 20s and 30s stems from years of working with children and adolescents in schools. I’ve helped students find their own path into adulthood and see my current work as a continuation of offering that guidance and support. Previous clients describe me as very kind, empathetic, non-judgmental, and caring. Counseling is in my blood, it's all I have ever done and I feel as passionate about it today as I did when I started.

Hello, I’m Tova, a Clinical Mental Health Counseling student at the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. Taking a step toward prioritizing your mental health is a meaningful and courageous act, and I’m honored to support you on this journey. My therapeutic approach is person-centered, relational, and psychodynamic. I strive to build a strong, supportive relationship and help you explore how your past experiences may be influencing your present. I bring warmth, empathy, and curiosity to every session, creating a safe space where you can feel seen, heard, and valued. I integrate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and always work through a trauma-informed lens. Your comfort and emotional safety are my highest priorities. Together, we’ll work collaboratively toward your goals, whether that involves developing self-care practices, managing stress, learning grounding techniques, or any other area that supports your overall well-being. Each session is tailored to your unique experiences, needs, and values, because I believe therapy should be as individual as you are.

Creating a space for someone to feel supported and heard is my first priority. The most important aspect of a therapeutic relationship is the dynamic between client and therapist. When you truly feel comfortable and understood by your therapist then that is when therapy can thrive. The goal in the work we do is to focus on assisting you in healing so that you are able to use the space and time we have to decipher what would work best for you to move forward. Therapy is a place for you to unwind, unload and have an opportunity to speak your thoughts out loud, reflect and make sense of how you would like to proceed away from stress, anxiety, anger, melancholy or behaviors that are no longer useful and yet challenging to change. I have worked in the field of HIV, substance use and mental health for over a decade. Primarily working in community health centers and non profit organizations, I have had the honor of providing mental health services to homeless men and women, adults who are actively using substances and unsure of what changes they would like to make, if any, and with homeless youth who are struggling with a severe mental illness. My graduate education and training was started and completed in the Bay Area where I also taught mindfulness meditation through a research study at UCSF. I am a Latino Bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in the state of New York. I specialize in working with people, in both English and Spanish, who are struggling with Substance Use, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Sexual Identity, Coming out, Gender Identity & Transition, HIV-related issues, Relationship issues, Grief and Loss, Sexual Difficulties, Migration issues and adapting to a new country with a sensitivity to diverse cultural and spiritual backgrounds. In addition I also specialize in working with people who believe in non traditional sexual relationships and expressions. I am currently accepting new clients in the Flatiron District of New York City. If you are considering therapy or even just pondering on whether this is a right fit for you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I work hard to create a safe and inviting space for my clients to work on whichever problems they choose to bring into their sessions. My approach reflects my empathic, nonjudgmental, and compassionate style. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in treatment, as I believe that healing happens when there is a strong therapeutic alliance. I collaborate with and empower my clients to harness or reclaim their inner strength and power. I have experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship stressors, work/life stress, life transitions, and trauma.

College is intense, and brings up all kinds of challenges: in your classes, in figuring out who you are, in your social life. It all moves so quickly, and can be so overwhelming! Together, we can slow it down and process what's going on, as well as figure out what you want to change. I'm here for you! As a queer genderqueer drama therapist, I specialize in working with queer and trans folks, anti-zionists, and those interested in disrupting white supremacist and ableist systems of pathology. We will co-create a space that feels supportive enough for you to reconnect with your body, feel more confident in yourself, and maybe even have a laugh in the process. You might feel like you don't know where to begin. I've got you! You have lots of options, ranging from drama therapy to relational talk therapy- I love to collaboratively tailor these methods to support you in disrupting frustrating repetitive patterns, understanding and accepting yourself, and communicating more easily in your relationships. The world is hard. We're not going to pretend otherwise. But in the meantime, you deserve support. It's a brave move to reach out to a new therapist. I'm excited to meet you!

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life, so why does it sometimes feel like the hardest? Maybe you're juggling more than you ever have before - classes, deadlines, relationships, and the pressure to perform academically while somehow also figuring out who you are and where you belong. Maybe the adjustment to college life has been harder than you expected - the homesickness, the new environment, the feeling that everyone else seems to be thriving while you're just trying to keep your head above water. Maybe anxiety has become your constant companion, or stress has made it hard to enjoy the things you used to love. Maybe you're asking bigger questions too - who am I, really? What do I actually want? Where am I headed? - and the pressure to have it all figured out feels overwhelming. Or maybe nothing dramatic has happened, and that almost makes it harder to explain. You just know something feels off, and you're not quite sure where to turn. Here's what I want you to know: you don't have to have it all together to reach out. You don't need a crisis to deserve support. College is one of the most profound transitions of your life - a time of incredible growth, but also real uncertainty, loneliness, and pressure that often goes unseen. I offer warm, collaborative, judgment-free therapy for college students navigating exactly this. Together we can work through anxiety and stress, explore who you are and who you want to become, and help you find your footing - so you can actually show up for your life, not just get through it. You deserve a space that's entirely yours - and finding the right therapist should feel like a good fit, not another stressor. That's why I offer a free 15-minute consultation - no pressure, no commitment - just a chance to chat, ask questions, and see if this feels right for you. Think of it as a low-stakes first step toward feeling more like yourself again. I'd be honored to be that space. Please reach out anytime. I'm here whenever you're ready.

I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges. Many struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, or difficulty creating meaningful connections. Together, we’ll explore how your past experiences—whether from childhood or past relationships—impact your present struggles. We’ll challenge negative beliefs, cultivate self-compassion, and help you build emotional resilience. Therapy is not just about working through difficulties but also about discovering your inner strengths, using them to foster lasting change and greater confidence in your life.

I am practicing virtually via telehealth appointments as I find this is well suited for busy college students! A tenet of my practice is “Curiosity, not judgment”.

I provide psychotherapy for young adults experiencing attention/executive functioning difficulties, anxiety, school/work stress, relationship issues, difficulty coping with life transitions, and more. I work with individuals to enhance self-understanding, improve communication skills, and develop effective solutions to achieve their goals. I draw from many treatment models and approaches, including developmental, cognitive behavioral, relationship-based, and collaborative problem-solving approaches. Typically, psychotherapy is weekly, and is always specifically tailored to meet each individual’s needs.
