Have you ever felt out of control? Struggled with drugs, alcohol, disruptive behaviors, or anger that seems to take over? If you're ready to make meaningful changes but aren't sure where to start, I'm here to help. I'm Rahim, a Mental Health Counselor Intern specializing in helping individuals overcome substance use, anger management issues, disruptive behaviors, career challenges, and performance stress. My ideal client is someone who's tired of feeling stuck and is ready to develop practical strategies to regain control of their life, improve relationships, and build a more fulfilling future. My counseling approach integrates evidence-based methods like Strengths-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you identify triggers, develop healthy coping skills, and harness your innate resilience. As a Behavioral Health Program Manager and soon-to-be graduate of John Carroll University's Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, I bring both professional training and cultural awareness to our sessions. I create a judgment-free space where teens and young adults can work through challenges while feeling truly heard and supported. I understand taking that first step can feel daunting, but you don't have to face these challenges alone. Whether you're dealing with substance use, disruptive behaviors, anger, career transitions, or overwhelming stress, together we can develop the tools you need to create lasting positive change. When you're ready to start building a stronger, more confident version of yourself, I'll be here to support you every step of the way.

I am a licensed master social worker (LMSW) providing individual and couples therapy in New York State. While I work with folks who have a variety of presenting concerns and backgrounds, I have a specific interest in working with individuals, couples, and people in partnerships who are identified as part of the LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, and kink communities. Whether you’re seeking individual or couples therapy, I believe that meaningful change tends to occur when people can shed the societal expectations of what they “should” be, in favor of embracing who they are. To that end, I have an eclectic style that integrates humanistic, relational, and family systems perspectives to fit the particular situation and individual(s) in the room. I seek to de-stigmatize sex, help people feel at home in their bodies, and encourage people to feel good about what they do in or with their bodies. After completing my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, I completed post-graduate education in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy. Furthermore, I have additional training in working with sex and sexuality in psychotherapy, including desire discrepancy and infidelity. In terms of my personal philosophy, I strongly believe that my clients are the experts in their own experiences. I am committed to creating a space that is anti-racist, sex positive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I value transparency in the therapy process and seek to build a collaborative alliance with everyone I work with.

Hello, I’m Tova, a Clinical Mental Health Counseling student at the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. Taking a step toward prioritizing your mental health is a meaningful and courageous act, and I’m honored to support you on this journey. My therapeutic approach is person-centered, relational, and psychodynamic. I strive to build a strong, supportive relationship and help you explore how your past experiences may be influencing your present. I bring warmth, empathy, and curiosity to every session, creating a safe space where you can feel seen, heard, and valued. I integrate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and always work through a trauma-informed lens. Your comfort and emotional safety are my highest priorities. Together, we’ll work collaboratively toward your goals, whether that involves developing self-care practices, managing stress, learning grounding techniques, or any other area that supports your overall well-being. Each session is tailored to your unique experiences, needs, and values, because I believe therapy should be as individual as you are.

Hello! I'm Kat, and I'm here to be your go-to cheerleader and confidante. Welcome to a space where you can breathe a little easier and find the support you need to navigate the twists and turns of college life. My journey into counseling? I started with a passion for music, earning a double B.A. in Music Performance and Music Education from Ithaca College. Those years taught me so much about creativity and the power of education to inspire and uplift. But my path took a turn when I felt called to explore counseling as a way to help others in a deeper capacity. I pursued an MA in Counseling from The Family Institute at Northwestern University. It's there that I discovered my passion for holistic well-being and specialized in Brainspotting—an incredible modality to bust through performance/creative blocks and tackle the harder stuff like trauma. In our sessions, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you can truly be yourself. I firmly believe in your ability to overcome challenges and shape the life you desire. Therapy doesn't have to be all serious and introspective. We'll sprinkle in some humor, passion, and empathy along the way. So, if you're ready to level up and tackle whatever life throws your way, I'm here for it. Shoot me a message and let's kickstart this journey together.

I specialize in working with individuals battling with depression, self-esteem issues and anxiety issues stemming from overwhelming life experiences and Complex Trauma. In therapy, we will gently dig into the root-cause using trauma informed practices so you can foster a deeper understanding of your self, heal from past trauma and live the life you desire.

Everyday someone struggles with the idea of whether therapy is the right choice for them. Many people attempt to “push through”, ignore or avoid dealing with issues that may be reoccurring in their life. For some it’s about not wanting to share personal information with a stranger. Other times it’s about fear of trying something new. For many it’s about believing that they can resolve issues without support from others. Some may feel that seeking therapy is a sign of weakness. Oddly enough it takes strength and self awareness to recognize when support may be helpful. The goal of the clinician is always to provide support in a nonjudgmental, non threatening environment. If you’re reading this you have taken the first step toward change. Today is a Perfect Day to start on a journey toward a better you.

Hello, I’m Jordan. I’m a licensed psychoanalyst and relationship coach specializing in somatic therapy and couples therapy. I work with both individuals and couples in NYC and throughout the world. We will collaborate to identify the dilemmas you are facing, and co-create a process of growth to help you take the next step towards healing and greater life satisfaction and fulfillment. Therapy is for everyone. No matter what your challenges are, you don’t have to do it alone.

I love my work and look forward to helping people who are looking to make their lives just a bit sunnier. We all have struggles but they don't have to weigh us down to the point where it is hard to let in joy, happiness and fulfillment. I work with clients to develop acheivable goals using my available tools as a therapist such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Yoga Therapy where appropriate. I see people of both sexes and all ages but seem to have developed a specialty of working with people in their 20s and 30s.

I help my clients understand how their beliefs (about themselves and others) affect their decisions and how their decisions affect their lives, while also exploring whether the beliefs are more so based on exaggerated fears stemming from past heartaches and trauma or realistic self-conceptions. Additionally, we work on reducing bad habits. This approach is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. And, I specialize in a form of CBT called Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), used to treat OCD.

Are you feeling like you do not have a safe space to talk to someone without feeling judged or biased? Are you feeling overwhelmed and having difficulty navigating your current intimate relationship(s), family members, friends, etc.? If so, then individual psychotherapy may be the right option for you. I take a non judgmental and open-minded approach when working with all of my clients. I use a Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), and Narrative Therapy approach while incorporating family systems theory. Together, we can help overcome these obstacles and get a better understanding of your own self through self empowerment and esteem.

Water & Stone is a group practice focused on bringing a contemplative approach to mental health. Together we are here to find you a therapist you connect with and are comfortable working with, so you can get the most out of your experience and feel fully supported and engaged in the process. We work with people from diverse backgrounds and can offer a few options based on your needs and budget (individual work, groups, etc.) We offer traditional talk therapy, creative arts therapy, and bring many contemplative and mindfulness practices into session, personalizing the approach based on what you are comfortable with. Your first step will be a brief 10 min phone call with our founder and director Emery to discuss what you are looking for, answer any questions you might have, and hear about which therapist might be a good fit. You'll also get a chance to discuss your options for therapy and how the services match with your budget. No pressure and, if it feels good to you, you can decide when to take the next step.

I work with people who are carrying a lot — stress, responsibility, trauma, and the quiet pressure to keep going even when they’re exhausted. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and rooted in helping clients feel safe, understood, and empowered in their own lives. I bring extensive experience from the child welfare system, advocacy work, and supporting caretakers who often put everyone else first. I’ve worked with a wide range of populations, including individuals from Ultra-Orthodox communities, people with developmental disabilities, and members of New York City’s largest labor union. These experiences have shaped my ability to meet people where they are, with cultural sensitivity, respect, and curiosity. Many of the people I work with are overworked, overstressed, and struggling to find balance or confidence in the midst of demanding lives. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what you’ve been through, and develop tools to feel more grounded, self-assured, and resilient. Together, we focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating space for relief, growth, and meaningful change. Whether you’re navigating trauma, burnout, or simply need a place to exhale, I aim to offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you don’t have to carry everything alone. <script src="https://thrivingcampus.com/verified.js?pid=45991"></script>
