Welcome to my practice! My name is Nick and I am a licensed mental health counselor, credentialed alcohol and substance abuse counselor, and board certified telemental health provider. All services are offered online only. Most of our suffering derives from within. Imagine if you talked to a loved one the way you talk to yourself, or if someone spoke to you the way you speak to yourself. It would be unacceptable and it would not be tolerated. Yet we surrender to these thoughts, repeating the same hurtful, debilitating monologue in the echo chamber of our mind. Herein lies the certainty that derives from being on your own, stuck in a position you never reasoned yourself into in the first place. As you develop an awareness of these thoughts that have so greatly affected your life, you’ll learn how to develop a new, more rational narrative based on the values and beliefs that you yourself will create. As your therapist, my job is to navigate this process as you learn to actively change your thoughts, which change your feelings and impact your actions. I am a firm believer in achieving functionality. We want life to work for us, and not against us. Being a flawed, living, breathing human being, I too struggle with this everyday, and I bring that intense desire to make things work in the therapeutic relationship. We work together to solve the ambivalence. It is understandable that when it comes to our motivation to change, we have our ups & downs. I know what it feels like to be stuck. It’s painful, and when you’re in it, you think it will never end. The good news is that it does, and the process of seeing that end can be so much better having someone that understands you by your side, every step of the way. So are you ready to get started?

We know you and understand what you are going through, because we are going through it too! Is anything ever enough? even when you think you're doing your best? ​ We are here with a free-from-judgement, relatable safe space to navigate all of you - the good, the bad, & the ugly! ​ We show up to session as our authentic selves. ​ No Suits & Button Downs Here!

With over 30 years of experience my practice is characterized by a collaborative approach toward healing from past trauma as well as problem solving and emotional growth.

I practice online, utilizing HIPAA compliant videoconferencing software. My clients are people seeking help with depression, anxiety, family conflict, relationship issues and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and supportive, yet also challenging. Our task is to unpack the issues that are being brought up in our sessions and use them to facilitate growth and change. The relationship we develop is the most important thing to me.

With 8 years of experience working with undergraduate and graduate students, I've witnessed the tremendous pressure to "have it altogether" in this next generation of adults. The pattern I see is one where one's self-worth is contingent on performance, and the pursuit for perfection is at the cost of authenticity. It's why I focused my practice on working with adults early/mid in their career who would describe themselves as high-performing, ambitious, and even perfectionistic. I want to support you with building a more balanced and compassionate view of yourself so that you can continue doing what you love without sacrificing your values. My approach is interactive, feeling-forward, and collaborative. My goal is to create as much space as possible so that, for one hour a week, you can talk about how you're really feeling. The therapy process is hard work but I'll be there with you the entire way through. I can't wait to meet you.

You may feel stuck, uncertain about yourself, overwhelmed by life transitions, or carrying the weight of the past. These moments hold emotional truths that deserve to be seen, heard, and understood. When we meet them with care and curiosity, they can become powerful entry points to deeper self-discovery and lasting self-compassion. The process of turning inward, increasing self-awareness and self-kindness, can be complex, but it often opens the door to meaningful growth. My role is to offer a safe, judgment-free space where this kind of exploration can unfold. I feel honored to walk alongside individuals as they reconnect with the parts of themselves that may feel lost, silenced, or in conflict. My approach is person-centered and psychodynamic, grounded in empathy and with a deep respect for your unique story. Together, we’ll explore your inner world at a pace that feels right for you. Individuals often share that they feel at ease in our sessions, able to speak freely, even when the emotions are difficult to name. Therapy with me is a collaborative process, grounded in trust, where you can feel empowered to take steps that align with your values. If you're ready to begin, or even just curious, I welcome you to reach out!

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.

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”.

Welcome! I understand firsthand the barriers and challenges many people face when seeking mental health support, which is why I am committed to making mental health care accessible and affordable. I strongly believe in bringing authenticity to my work, as many clients come to therapy sharing deep vulnerabilities. I’ve cultivated a safe, non-judgmental space over my years of practice to ensure that you feel heard and supported. With 7 years of experience working with young adults, adults, caregivers, and geriatric clients, I specialize in providing compassionate care for those navigating grief, life transitions, chronic illness, and end-of-life challenges. I also provide treatment for anxiety, depression, PTSD, identity issues, caregiver support, and family dynamics. I use a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach to therapy with an anti-racism lens, helping individuals identify stressors and co-create personalized treatment plans that empower them to make meaningful changes in their lives. If you are interested in booking your consultation or a session, please go to my website. I look forward to meeting you!

Hello, I'm Dr. Clifford (please feel free to call me Heather!). I bring a compassionate and a caring approach to therapy that is trauma informed and queer affirming. The transition to young adulthood can be a time of major changes, successes, and disappointments. The pressure of being a young adult and figuring out "the future" is often overwhelming and anxiety provoking. You may be questioning your values, sexuality, relationships and career aspirations. I specialize in helping college students explore the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are getting in the way of them living a life that is in line with their values. Through our work together I can help you clarify what is important to you and develop skills to help you live the life you choose. I use evidenced based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help support you become present and participate in the important parts of life. I often incorporate mindfulness and compassion focused exercises during sessions. I am committed to unlearning oppressive biases and beliefs including but not limited to white supremacy, racism, ableism, homophobia, and fatphobia. I believe that these systems of oppression hugely impact our mental health and come to play in the therapy room. I am always open to discuss and explore these topics.

I believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship - as a site for activation, reflection, examination, change, and corrective emotional experiences. So often the very things that have helped protect us throughout our lives also create barriers and challenges. Therapy offers us a space to slow down and explore these defenses and patterns, and to develop healthier alternatives. We will work collaboratively to reach mutual understanding, honest emotional expression, and to acknowledge and nourish your true self, in all of its complexity - which will hopefully lead to a more authentic, vibrant, fulfilling life. Therapy can offer a path through the stress and trauma of everyday life, and increase our resilience. My clients say that therapy has re-introduced them to themselves, allowed them to understand and accept themselves, helped them identify and change problematic patterns, given them new coping tools, helped them heal, and helped them find their voice. I work with a wide variety of clients and issues, with a focus on depression & mood issues, anxiety, identity, trauma, isolation, addiction, personality disorders, psychosis, loss & bereavement, and relationship & intimacy issues. I work with individuals, couples, and families; I also facilitate therapeutic groups. Contact me for a free phone consultation.

Whether you're a parent navigating the challenges of raising children, a young adult finding your footing, or a family seeking stronger connections — there's a place for you here. Life has a way of pulling us in every direction — but healing often starts by turning inward. I bring both compassion and energy to every session, creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. Whether you're navigating everyday stress or life's bigger challenges, I'm here to help you find your footing and reconnect with your own strength.

We all experience some distress or discomfort that can prevent us from feeling content and enjoying all that life has to offer. We're often stuck in patterned behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and relationships that only increases our distress and prevents us from being able to move forward. I work collaboratively with people to better understand the patterns of behaviors, thoughts, or feelings that contribute to our distress and develop concrete skills to feel content and enjoy life. I provide person-centered and strength-based therapy tailored to the needs of the individual. I specialize in CBT, ACT, interpersonal therapy, trauma informed methods, and motivational interviewing. I work well with people experiencing anxiety or depression, struggling with transitions in life, or have experienced trauma. I create a nurturing and supportive environment for you to express yourself to be able to create a balanced and fulfilling life. I believe that everyone has the capacity to change. Saturday appointments available.

I am a bilingual Latinx clinician with years of education, training, and clinical experience as a psychotherapist and social worker. As a proud second-generation Latinx person, I understand the importance of respecting your unique intersectionality and the desperate need to decolonize psychotherapy. Therefore, I offer a space for you to safely explore cognitive and relationship patterns with a well-trained empathic affirming person of color. I may be a person of color trained in some of the top educational institutions, but I have never lost sight of the complex challenges we have and continue to face daily in our society. Together, we can explore the beauty and power of the unique intersectionality we each experience. So, contact me, and we can discuss the next steps. I work with Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Cigna, Oscar Health, United Healthcare, Oxford, Aetna, Optum, Headway, and Alma. Out-of-pocket and sliding scale options are available.

Life as a student can be stressful, especially when you find yourself impacted by academic or administration complications, or struggles outside of school. As a therapist, I take a holistic approach in order to recognize all the complexities of who you are and your unique situation, and strive to provide a space where you feel supported and understood. Many of my clients identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQ (and found me because they wanted a therapist who shares their identity), although I have worked with students from all walks of life. I have a Masters of Social Work from CUNY Hunter and seven years of clinical experience with techniques such as psychodynamics, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT. These have helped me with students struggling with a variety of concerns - depression, self-esteem, family or relationship problems, and more. Let's talk together about what's been on your mind and explore how to support you on your journey. I look forward to hearing from you!
