Sadness and fear live inside us all. At times, we are so used to feeling depressed and anxious that it seems as though there is no point to try and work through these struggles.

My name is Samaria Gray and I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Therapist with a special focus on youth and adults. I believe that everyone deserves to be seen and heard, especially when it comes to dealing with past traumas. Some of the areas I am experienced in working with are anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, grief, domestic violence, and trauma survivors and use various evidence-based approaches to help my clients heal and move forward in life.
I'm a clinical psychologist and a trained psychoanalyst. I believe that what promotes growth and mental health is the process of putting real but hard to see aspects of your experience into words. This decreases their power and brings them more to heel for you. This is different from challenging thoughts or skill building. You as the patient should have clear evidence in therapy that you're coming to understand yourself better and more fully. Old, stuck ways of thinking should slowly give way to the ability to think more effectively about what is and what can be. Your sense of 'you' should grow wider and more secure, and your ability live and act with purpose of your choosing should slowly build.
I offer virtual therapy in New York. I utilize a variety of treatment interventions focusing on strength based and trauma informed care to provide therapy to individuals managing anxiety, depression or significant life changes. I demonstrate the ability to engage individuals in the treatment process by offering a safe space to explore needs. I am a compassionate professional and active listener dedicated to working with clients to help resolve mental health issues and thrive on their own terms.
Therapy Beyond Healing is a group therapy practice offering secure telehealth sessions to adolescents and adults across New York State, as well as in-person sessions on Long Island. Led by seasoned clinician Linda Girimonte, Therapy Beyond Healing’s practice belief is grounded in a desire to help clients overcome their struggles and reassure them that they are not alone. Therapists at Therapy Beyond Healing have a passion for working with clients to help uncover their true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. In order for therapy to be effective, there must be a sense of trust between client and therapist. Understanding your concerns and goals and truly listening will help us understand your worldview and what you are looking to get out of therapy. Our mission is to transform lives by restoring hope, achieving healing and balance, while establishing purpose and wholeness, with individuals, couples, and families.
As a therapist, I encourage you to bring the “messiest” parts of yourself into the room during our sessions. I strive to create a safe, yet empowering space for all my clients, especially for those who hold marginalized identities. I let you set the pace of treatment and help you build confidence in your innate abilities to persevere and heal during difficult seasons of life. I also encourage you to provide feedback throughout our time together, so that we can make treatment as impactful and positive as possible. I believe that the most important aspect of our work together involves building a strong therapeutic relationship, so you can also expect a deep interest in you as a person outside of presenting concerns or diagnoses. Feel free to reach out if I sound like a good fit for you and your current needs. Either way, I wish you luck on your healing journey!

Over time, my goal is to help you stay present under stress, recover more quickly from setbacks, and respond to situations with clarity and control rather than force or self-criticism. I bring over a decade of experience as a psychologist, academic instructor, training director, and clinical supervisor. I look forward to serving you. Education and Career I am a licensed psychologist and a founding co-owner of Avellar Warden Psychological Associates, PLLC. I earned my Ph.D. in Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and completed my doctoral and post-doctoral residencies respectively at the University of Delaware and University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Perhaps you notice feeling unsettled, worried, down or uncertain about the future. Maybe you notice you're unsure about a relationship or feel the pressure of career uncertainty. Maybe you are not living the life you would like to live or perhaps something is interfering with your happiness. Whatever brought you to your interest in utilizing therapy as a resource, I am here to offer a safe, non-judgmental space and will guide our therapeutic work in alignment with what your individualized goals are. Therapy is a beautiful and sometimes challenging process of growth and self-discovery. In my sessions I promote behavioral transformation through a number of different treatment modalities uniquely tailored to you.
I see mental health as part of one's overall wellness. My approach focuses on having fewer negative emotions, and also on more positive emotions. I offer tools that research has demonstrated are very effective for reducing suffering. I also assist you in seeing meaningful, practical change by compassion, warmth, and empathy with a bit of humor. However, there is no cookie-cutter approach. We work together, openly, to customize your treatment directly to your needs and strengths. I frequently work with POCs, high-achieving students and professionals, folks in major transitions, and those coping with imposter syndrome, perfectionism, procrastination, and worrying. I have a particular skill in working with women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals and people new to therapy and welcome your questions!

I thought about listing all my education, training and clinical experience here but I don’t think that’s what you are truly interested in. I believe you want to know whether I would be a good person to work with, whether I can really understand what you are going through, whether you will feel safe talking to me, whether I know what I am doing, whether I am the right match for what you are seeking in therapy. All of those questions and concerns are absolutely valid and I know I was asking myself the same things before I started my own therapy many years ago. So maybe I will tell you a little bit about what it may be like working with me. I am a very active therapist who will get in the weeds with you. I will want to get to know you – who you are as a person, what is going really well in your life, what is missing, what you feel you would like to explore more or change, what your goals and dreams are and the obstacles that have prevented you from creating the kind of fulfilling life you deserve. I use humor often and we laugh a lot in my sessions. I aim to be authentic and honest while creating a warm and non-judgmental space for us to work in. I will be invested in your success and transformation – I get tremendous joy out of supporting my clients through their process of self-discovery and change. I will also challenge you to look at things that may make you feel uncomfortable and hold you accountable to achieving the goals we set up together. My specialties include anxiety, adjusting to college and stress related to academics or relationships, perfectionism, eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder) and disordered eating (including emotional eating, chronic dieting, excessive exercise, body image issues, binge eating, etc.). I want you to know that I am passionate about what I do and believe that therapy can truly be a transformative experience. Please reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit. I am excited to get to know you and work together to create lasting change in your life.
I've been a psychologist for more than 25 years. I trained at Cornell Medical Center, earned my doctorate from Yeshiva University, and sat on the Board of the Suffolk County Psychological Association from 2017 to 2021. I utilize a variety of modalities including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Comprehensive Behavioral Model (ComB), Behavioral Therapy and Social Skills Training, and tailor the most appropriate treatment to the patient based upon the individual’s needs. I treat adults with such issues as anxiety, bereavement, depression, trauma, medical issues, Trichotillomania, skin picking, ADHD, LGBQ issues, and college transition.
Students who find me most helpful are often trying to figure out who they are as separate but connected to their parents and family. I especially love working with first gen and immigrant students because I am both. I have lived and worked on four continents and English is actually not my first language, so students who are navigating intercultural issues also find it easy to connect with me. In terms of the kinds of issues students work with me on, it includes: depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship worries, fear of failure, and self esteem. I look forward to hearing from you!
