Michael Espinoza

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Accepting clients Last Updated 0 days ago

Michael is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over five years of experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds in New York. He is especially passionate about supporting clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationships, identity, and major life transitions—common during college and early adulthood. As a Latino clinician who is fluent in Spanish, he understands how stigma around mental health can make it difficult to take that first step.

Michael focuses on creating a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself. He takes a warm, collaborative approach, helping clients gain clarity, build insight, and work through challenges at their own pace.

His approach is flexible and tailored to each individual, drawing from person-centered and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

If you’ve been unsure about starting therapy, it can help to begin with just one session and see how it feels.
