Hello! I have over 10 years of experience working with adults and adolescents specializing in mental health and substance abuse, OCD, grief and loss, as well as perinatal and postpartum phase of life. I use an integrative approach to meet each client’s individual needs and goals in a warm, caring, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment.
My name is Angela Burd, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY. I have a trauma-informed approach while ensuring to incorporate evidence-based modalities into treatment. I have years of experience in treating and diagnosing adults, children, adolescents with behavioral struggles both as a clinical therapist and a Senior Director over seeing programs for the Office of Mental Health, Addiction, and School Based Services.
Do you sometimes feel stuck in parts of your life? Do you notice the same problems keep happening in your relationships or career? Therapy provides a space to examine how you perceive yourself and the world. It also helps with discussing and processing difficult and painful feelings. These feelings provide new insight into ways to grow and change. My approach to therapy is based on ingredients proven to help, such as a good connection with your therapist and feeling understood and supported. I'm a graduate of Duke University; I completed my doctorate at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Rochester. Most recently, I was a generalist at Cornell Health, where I focused on interdisciplinary clinical care. I specialize in anxiety, stress, and compulsive habits people develop to cope with them. I know it takes a lot of strength and courage to start this process, and I respect that. We'll schedule our first session during your initial consultation. We'll discuss your current concerns and mental health history in the first session and develop a plan of care that feels right to you. Please visit my webpage to schedule a consultation.
I support college students dealing with life stress, trauma, anxiety, and identity concerns. My style is warm, direct, and grounded in real conversation. Together, we’ll focus on practical strategies and meaningful insight to help you feel more balanced and empowered.
Hi! Thanks for stopping by! As an experienced therapist, I equip you with practical tools, skills, and strategies to effectively manage the stresses of academic life while juggling the demands of everyday existence. Through personalized guidance, I empower you to cultivate healthy personal and professional relationships, which are pivotal in navigating life's complexities, especially when balancing work commitments alongside college studies or internships. With a focus on your individual growth and fulfillment, I facilitate the development of essential life skills that enable you not only to thrive personally but also to shape the life you aspire to lead. Drawing from my extensive experience supporting young adults during this transitional phase, I empathize with the common fears and challenges that can hinder progress and cause dissatisfaction. By exploring your emotions and identifying recurring patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, and unfulfilling relationships, we work together to break free from negative cycles and forge a path toward greater well-being. Our initial sessions center on understanding the influence of your family background, current struggles, and inherent strengths, laying the foundation for targeted interventions. Using a blend of Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes proactive problem-solving, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which examines the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, I guide you in creating actionable goals that foster tangible progress and instill confidence in your journey toward improved mental health and life satisfaction. Please connect with me through email or phone (texting) to discuss my availability and I can learn more about yours. So, let's chat! I offer a free, 15 minute phone consult to briefly discuss your challenges to make sure I would be a good for you. Happy to help!
As an Attachment based EMDR Certified Therapist I work well with high achieving young adults who feel unsatisfied in their relationships and struggle with health challenges.
People often come to a therapist because they want to talk about being anxious, being lonely, feeling depressed, having difficulty in relationships, or having a hard time taking care of themselves and others. I aim to help people to reduce symptoms (e.g., anxiety) and, more generally, to engage in personal growth and to foster a more connected, meaningful life. I will work with you to help you cope more effectively with life stressors; in doing so, I focus on your values, strengths, and potential. I have specialized training in working with individuals with chronic illness and/or eating and weight-related problems, including adolescents, college students, and adults. I completed my clinical training at Yale University and at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. I am currently a Lecturer at Princeton University and the Supervising Psychologist at the Princeton Center for Eating Disorders. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have all been challenged in our relationships, our work, our empathy, and our resilience. I aim to help others navigate associated feelings of loneliness, worry, anger, and sadness, and I work to help people adapt to changing and uncertain times. My practice is telehealth-only; I am able to see patients in RI, CT, NY, FL, and NJ.
I help people understand themselves, not just manage symptoms. If you're ready to look at patterns, relationships, and what keeps you stuck, this work is for you. One of my specialties is psychoanalytic dream interpretation: I've worked extensively with dreams in treatment and have seen how dreams foster insight, emotional depth, and lasting change.
Since my first counseling experience at the University at Buffalo's Counseling Center, I have found working with college students especially rewarding. I have dedicated my career to understanding and treating emotional health. I have always been impressed with my clients’ abilities to address and overcome life’s challenges, often using skills they didn’t even know they had. It is so gratifying to see people become the best versions of themselves. A specific area of interest is helping those to improve their interpersonal relationships, whether they be with family, coworkers, or others. I want our sessions to be a supportive and safe place where you can be your genuine self without fear of judgement as you process, learn, and work through life’s challenges. I provide evidenced-based individual therapy services grounded in cognitive behavioral, person-centered, and narrative therapy approaches, as well as motivational interviewing.
I appreciate the time you are taking to choose the best person and process for your specific needs. Being a college student requires a lot of difficult choices, and I know finding a counselor can be hard as well. Here are some thoughts about how I work, but please contact me if you have other questions. My goal as a counselor is to shape our work around the needs, goals, and overall direction you want to take in your life. If you have very focused, concrete issues you want to address, we’ll use a solution-focused approach to create plans and strategies for focused change and growth. If you have more broad, complicated things to address, we talk about a deeper purpose and meaning for your life that can serve as a foundation for more significant changes. No matter what you would like to talk about in counseling, we will capitalize on your strengths as a whole person to create the change you seek.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing psychotherapy for college students and young adults in the Pittsburgh area and throughout Pennsylvania via telehealth. Many of the students I work with are dealing with anxiety, academic pressure, relationship challenges, identity questions, and the stress of major life transitions. My approach to therapy is insight-oriented and collaborative. I integrate psychodynamic therapy with practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. Therapy provides a space to better understand patterns in thoughts, emotions, and relationships while developing healthier ways of responding to stress. Students often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Together we work to clarify what is happening beneath the surface, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful change in areas such as anxiety, depression, relationships, and self-confidence. I provide both in-person sessions in Carnegie, Pennsylvania and secure online therapy throughout the U.S. via PSYPACT. Prior to private practice I trained and worked full time at five counseling counseling centers in various cities.
Your feelings matter and sometimes it is not easy to talk about them. I provide a safe non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their emotions, difficulties and experiences regarding uncertainty, stress, relationships, depression, low self-esteem, and anxiety. I will be there to listen, support and challenge you through those transitions. Starting at our initial session and continuing, my goal is to provide a welcoming environment which allows you get comfortable to share your thoughts, feelings, and goals. Let us work together to accomplish your goals and get you where you want to be.
Let’s be real. Life is hard. It is messy and crazy and sometimes, it just feels out of control. Your space is a mess, your roommates are on your last nerve, you have a major assignment to work on, and you just cannot get a moment to think straight. Then there’s that thought in the background that you’re not doing enough, that you’re not enough. You’re questioning yourself and feeling overwhelmed. College is hard. This phase of life is hard. Feeling the pressure to succeed can feel unbearable. This is where therapy comes in. To learn how to address these thoughts & emotions in a safe space and develop a plan of action to move forward, feeling confident in yourself.
Therapy can feel intimidating. Together, we can create a space that feels comfortable and secure. I invite compassion and safety with all of your life's challenges. I specialize in navigating big life transitions, reducing stress/anxiety and offering practical tools that help facilitate your day to day. I love being a therapist, and helping my clients improve their mental health.
Hi there! My name is Reese Minshew, and I work almost entirely with transgender (broadly defined) adults who have had traumatic (broadly defined) experiences. I’m licensed in California, Illinois, and New York, and work via telehealth with people located in any of those states. Clinically, I believe that the reactions we have after experiencing trauma and stress are fundamentally adaptive to the trauma, but can disrupt everyday life. In other words, if you had a difficult experience (including chronic exposure to structural stressors such as anti-trans bias, white supremacy, ableism, etc), you might not be able to eat, sleep, focus, calm down, feel excited, or be in relationships in the way you want. Whatever reaction you’re having was very helpful to you at one time, but if it’s no longer serving you then we can work on that. Most of the time we would do this by talking about what’s going on in your life right now, and working to understand it in the context of your past experiences.

Are you tired of "reacting" and not feeling good about yourself? Is your past controlling you in the present in ways that aren't serving you? When we are "hijacked" by our past experiences we lose the ability to "choose" how we want to respond. This affects how we feel physically and emotionally; which can make us feel depressed, anxious, shameful. This in turn impacts the quality of our interpersonal relationships. It doesn't have to be that way. I see therapy as a relational and collaborative process that supports wellbeing on mental, physical and spiritual levels. My approach blends several Somatic and Talk based psychotherapies: EMDR, The Trauma Resiliency Model, Internal Family Systems, Gestalt Psychotherapy, Relational, and several, Mindfulness based awareness techniques which include my many years background in the healing effects of yoga. Each person is an embodied being with pleasant an unpleasant experiences embedded in the flesh and bones and tangled in the mind. My therapeutic work with individuals and couples is to process the unpleasant and build resiliency in support of personal transformation.
