I help clients who are trying to manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem or relationship issues and life transitions. Often clients are navigating a change in their lives, such as their educational path, career, or relationships. I support clients through these transitions and provide a safe, therapeutic environment where they can explore their individuality and strengths. Clients are also supported through the process of examining maladaptive patterns of thought and/or behavior with the use of Psychodynamic, Relational and CBT frameworks. These approaches, combined with a strong therapeutic relationship, help to foster an increased awareness and greater sense of empowerment, which can increase overall quality of life.

***VIRTUAL APPTS ONLY, WAITLIST AVAILABLE*** Are you hoping to better manage your mood, anxiety, health habits, or just day-to-day life? Do you ever feel challenged by certain relationships, cultural differences, personal gains or losses, or other significant life changes? All too often, you may find yourself involved in recurring conflicts, feeling repeatedly taken advantage of or misunderstood, or otherwise unsatisfied with your life for no obvious reason. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. I will help you identify and set appropriate boundaries with the people in your life - including yourself - and ultimately grow into yourself in a way that feels authentic & genuine to you. Likewise if you are struggling with medical issues, have battled chronic illness for years, or want to work on your behavioral health preventively, my services may be a good fit for you. Informed by a longstanding pre-medical training background as well as personal experience with chronic illness, I will work with you to repair your mind-body connection by reshaping unhealthy thought patterns, changing problematic health habits, and learning to accept and cope with the messages your body is sending to you. Whatever the case, I will collaborate with you in an open and empathetic way to build coping skills, self-actualize, and attain your mental, physical, emotional, and lifestyle goals.

I specialize in working with women who are dissatisfied with their life. You used to be happy and carefree and now are overcome with anxiety that is impacting your relationships and daily life. You might have some difficult things that have happened to you that you haven't processed yet. You might wish for better family relationships but are now realizing that you don't get what you need from them. You're feeling untethered and want to find your people. You want to create a life you want to wake up to. I can help.

Rina is a relational and insight-oriented therapist who works with thoughtful adults seeking greater clarity, emotional steadiness, and meaningful personal growth. Based in private practice, she offers therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, identity shifts, life transitions, and recurring relationship patterns. Rina welcomes clients who may appear steady outwardly yet feel unsettled beneath the surface and are ready to approach therapy with curiosity, honesty, and depth. Her work is grounded in the belief that lasting change develops through reflection, self-awareness, and a consistent therapeutic relationship. Rina provides a calm, respectful space where emotional and embodied experience can be explored with care. Sessions are paced intentionally, allowing insight to deepen over time rather than rushing toward quick solutions. She works particularly well with introspective adults who want to move beyond analysis alone and cultivate a deeper sense of inner steadiness and self-trust.

I offer support in both English and ASL. Clients I work with typically need support processing family dynamics, relationships, and trauma history. If you are wanting to improve boundaries, self care and reduce anxiety/ depression symptoms please reach out to me. I work with both hearing and Deaf clients, CODAS, and people facing intersectionality challenges in their identity. I’m trained in perinatal mental health and can support pregnant people before during and after pregnancy. I also offer grief counseling whether that be death, miscarriages, divorces, identity changes, estrangement etc. While I wouldn’t say I specialize in these areas I want you to know I’m open and accepting of all persons from the queer community and LGBTQIA affirming, and am an ally to the BIPOC community.

As a therapist in practice over 12 years, I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ People of Color communities coping with depression, anxiety, relationship stress, racial identity, and spirituality/faith issues. I have have extensive experience working with Asian/ Asian-Americans and other communities of color, immigrants, Millennials, Gen Z, and college students. We all need spaces in our lives to be seen and heard. There are times, however, when it can be hard to find those spaces of acceptance, non-judgment, and problem solving. I will work with you to explore and find solutions to the challenges that come with navigating the realities of our complicated lives. My approach in therapy focuses on each person's unique stories, strengths, and resilience, from a space of empathy, and concrete tools to move forward. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that balances spaces of acceptance with change, which is based in cognitive & dialectical behavioral therapy (CBT) and (DBT). I am committed to diverse communities and enjoy working with clients of all racial backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities. I believe that therapy should be accessible and affordable, which is why I take insurance including Aetna, Oscar, Oxford and United. Please contact me for more information about using your insurance for therapy.

Whether you are living in physical pain or emotional pain, we will work together to help you sleep better, decrease pain, improve relationships, get "unstuck" and feel happier. One of our greatest goals as clinicians is treating you with the support and care you deserve. We not only want to help you feel better, we want to help you live better and move out of negative patterns of behavior that do not serve you. We work from an integrative perspective, meaning that we have been trained in a wide variety of psychological techniques and will combine them to help you achieve your goals. We will teach you to use the tools that help you most, so that you can continue to work with these techniques on your own, once you have completed therapy. And that sense of independence and control you gain over your own life, that will feel truly fulfilling!

I understand that many seek therapy during very difficult times, times when overwhelming life stressors and transitions begin to interfere with daily life, relationships, or a sense of well-being. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist, I’m here to help adults ages 18 and up develop practical tools and insight so symptoms no longer dictate how they live. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with patients in overcoming mental health symptoms that impact day-to-day functioning. This includes discomfort in social situations due to anxiety, depression, or low motivation; or seeking treatment because of significant life challenges such as relationship discord, professional stressors and burnout, and loss. No matter the struggle, my goal is to assist in the development of tools and coping skills that help patients better manage emotions. If you relate to these struggles and are ready to hear more, please reach out today. Together, we will build practical tools, insight, and resilience so you can navigate challenges with greater confidence and clarity. I believe a strong collaborative relationship is key to helping you manage symptoms of anxiety and depression and move toward living the life you want. That’s why therapy with me is collaborative, respectful, and focused on creating a space where you feel heard and understood. Our time together is conversational, not clinical; I don’t use a lot of clinical jargon, as I feel that this approach allows for the clearest communication and reduces the presence of a power dynamic. When people ask me why I chose the field of social work and became a therapist, my answer is simple: it just seemed to fit me. My first introduction to social work and psychotherapy was during my second year of college. Of course, I had an interest in psychology, but I’ve also always had a keen curiosity about people and their stories. Social work and psychotherapy certainly allow me to combine those two interests. Still, it wasn't just the course work in those classes that caught my attention – it was the professors. They spoke with compassion about helping others in a way that was authentic and genuine. By the end of those classes, I'd found a profession that allowed me to be my authentic self and still help people. I enjoy live music and spending time at the beach when I’m not with patients. I'm also an avid hockey and baseball fan – go NY Islanders and Mets!

I believe that we never lose our creative spark, and that with the right tools, it can be accessed and implemented as a healing force. With creative expression, we can imagine real life scenarios through multiple lenses, and look into the past and the future through different perspectives. No matter your age, art making can be used to make sense of our emotional landscape, foster self-compassion and organize our thoughts, which can get jumbled in the hustle and bustle of life. I utilize an integrative approach that marries both Art Therapy and traditional psychotherapy. No experience using art materials is needed! I received my Masters degree from Pratt Institute, and have experience working with children, adolescents, adults and geriatrics in a private practice and hospital setting, including Yale New Haven Pediatric Hospital. I provide a person-centered approach based on my client’s personal needs, past experiences, beliefs, and goals. Through creative expression and psychoanalytic psychotherapy my clients have experienced increased hope for the future, a more positive mindset, decreased anxiety and stress, identity affirmation, behavior regulation and improved self-esteem. I look forward to embarking on the journey of self-exploration with you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by emotions that are difficult to understand or express? Do you sometimes find yourself reacting in ways that feel unfamiliar, confusing, or even unsettling? You're not alone—and therapy can help. I offer a safe, supportive space for healing through a blend of Psychodynamic talk therapy and Art therapy, with my approach informed by DBT, CBT, and IFS.

Hi I'm Anna. I'm experienced in therapy/coaching with Neurodivergent young adults and folks living with Disability/chronic illness. I know how feeling misunderstood and other-ed can be deeply challenging, especially if you navigate the world with a unique set of experiences or marginalized experiences. I know what it's like to navigate the world from that position, especially with regards to Disability, Neurodivergence, Queer identity, and complex trauma. I honor my clients' lived experiences and cultural contexts that they come from, tailor my approach and range of therapeutic tools to fit you and your needs, not the other way around. My clinical practice involves an eclectic range of tools and modalities tailored to your needs with a person-centered, trauma competent, Neurodivergent-Affirming, and feminist foundation - along with DBT, Internal Family Systems, AEDP, attachment-based, relational, mindfulness/meditation, and more. I provide psychotherapy, life & communication coaching. I work to empower folks through self-compassion, clarity, tangible tools to encourage growth, and affirming care that meets you where you are with an understanding of how marginalization and identity intersect with our wellbeing and bodyminds. I am a Covid-informed and conscious provider. Set up a free consult call with me through my link to get started.

No-one prepares you for the challenges experienced when adjusting to college life. The new found independence can be both exhilarating and daunting. You find yourself either missing your family or feeling relief at having a chance to forge your own identity . Between the work load and all the new interactions , you are suddenly juggling so many things all at once. It can be stressful , lonely, and emotionally overwhelming. Everyone promised that college would be life changing, and it is, but it can also be difficult. Instead of being embarrassed , or ashamed or self conscious about your vulnerabilities, its important to seek out a therapist to explore these issues to better understand, enrich and enhance your relationships and your focus. In therapy we will talk and engage in a dialogue, and my training allows me to approach your issues with flexibility, tailoring my approach to fit your needs.
