While our practice does not offer traditional therapy, we specialize in comprehensive diagnostic assessments for adults who are either seeking a clearer understanding of their mental health or who have found traditional therapy ineffective in meeting their needs. Our evaluation process is designed to get to the root of what’s truly going on—emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally. Following assessment, you will receive a detailed clinical report that includes a formal diagnosis (if applicable), a personalized treatment plan, and targeted recommendations to guide therapy. This approach helps ensure that your time in treatment is focused, efficient, and grounded in evidence-based practices. How Our Services Differ Many adults enter therapy without a clear diagnosis or direction, often leading to months or even years of “talk therapy” without significant progress. Our approach removes the guesswork. Using a structured combination of clinical interviews, psychological and personality testing, and other relevant measures, we provide a complete picture of your functioning. Every recommendation we provide is backed by empirical data and tailored to your individual history, needs, and goals. You’ll walk away with: • A definitive understanding of what you're experiencing • A written treatment plan based on scientific evidence and best practices • A list of highly qualified therapists in your area with experience in your specific areas of need What to Expect • Two appointments: one clinical diagnostic interview and one testing session • Psychological and personality measures, with additional assessments as needed • A thorough written report outlining diagnostic findings and a therapy roadmap • A final feedback session to walk through your results and next steps If you're interested in proceeding, please reply to confirm and provide a copy of your photo ID and the front and back of your insurance card(s). If you have questions before moving forward, I’d be happy to speak with you directly. Warmly, Dr. Brotz

College is a lot. The pressure to perform — academically, socially, personally — while quietly managing anxiety, burnout, or something you haven't even put a name to yet is genuinely exhausting. You don't have to keep pushing through it on your own. At Resilience Therapy, we work with young adults who are done just getting by and ready to actually feel better. We specialize in anxiety, OCD, ADHD, perfectionism, and body image — and we bring a no-judgment, no-sugarcoating approach to all of it. We provide telehealth and in-person services in NY, and telehealth in NJ, CT, FL, PA, MA, ME, CO, TX, IL, VA, SC, VT, AK, and DE. While some of our providers accept insurance, we are largely out-of-network and provide superbills for reimbursement. We also offer a sliding scale. Reach out — we'll help you figure out the details. *INSURANCE* While we are largely an Out Of Network Practice, we do have some clinicians that accept limited insurance. We offer a superbill to be submitted to insurance for reimbursement and will assist in verifying benefits. We additionally offer a sliding scale rate. Please reach out to learn more.

A Key Therapy is a group practice of licensed, mindfulness-based therapists — most of us social workers — working with students and young adults through secure telehealth. We see what tends to surface during college and the years right after: anxiety humming under a full schedule, depression, burnout, grief, relationship and family stress, identity questions, and the transitions that come with starting, pausing, or finishing school. Mindfulness-based therapy is our specialty, not a side offering — our clinicians pair evidence-based treatment with mindfulness practice so you spend less energy white-knuckling hard feelings and more learning to meet them with steadiness. Starting therapy can feel like one more thing on an already full plate. You don't need the right words or a tidy story to begin. Reach out and we'll answer your questions and match you with the clinician who's the right fit. Licensed in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Virginia. Individual and group sessions, telehealth statewide.

Welcome! Im Shayda- Healing from trauma isn't something we're meant to do alone. When we safely reconnect with our nervous system with the support of an attuned therapist, therapy can be deeply powerful. I use trauma therapies like EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing to help you process pain and find lasting relief. I work with adults healing from PTSD, C-PTSD, childhood trauma, and attachment wounds. I also support survivors of sexual assault, toxic relationships, and those facing depression, anxiety, panic, or suicidal thoughts. Through this work, we can reprocess the past and create lasting healing and wholeness in your life. As a feminist, trauma-informed therapist, I recognize how systems of oppression, inequality, and societal expectations shape our experiences and impact our well-being. I offer culturally sensitive care that honors your lived experience - creating a space where you feel truly seen, valued, and understood. My priority is building safety and trust. I take the time to get to know you, bringing presence, compassion, attunement, and authenticity to our work. Together, we can take meaningful steps toward creating the life you envision and deserve. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation - I'd love to connect!

I specialize in helping children and adults manage mood disorders, supporting individuals through major life changes, and assisting those dealing with depression, low energy, general anxiety, and social anxiety. I also work with clients facing challenges related to ADHD, panic attacks, and other mental health concerns. Additionally, I have experience helping clients with personality disorders develop healthy behaviors, enabling them to feel more comfortable and confident in themselves. Personal Philosophy: Mental health IS health and should be prioritized just as highly as physical health concerns like an injury or illness. If medication can help you feel like your best self, it could be a beneficial treatment option. However, medication may not be the solution for all mental health struggles. I love partnering with my patients to create a treatment plan that fits their personal needs. Whether that involves medication or focuses on other important areas like improving diet, sleep, and exercise, my goal is to empower each person to take control of their mental health journey.

Feeling like you need a safe space? Maybe you've felt pressured to hide parts of yourself and have struggled to connect with others, or you feel isolated and misunderstood. Perhaps your emotions feel overwhelming or difficult to manage, or it's hard to feel present when you are around other people. If you are struggling, you do not have to do it alone! I work with ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, and trauma. It can be hard to adjust to college life and even harder to navigate if you need accommodations or are struggling with your mental health. In therapy, I can help you better understand your emotions and learn practical strategies to find relief and cope with challenges. I can also help you with paperwork if you need accommodations at school. I am licensed in New York and Oregon. I can work with you if you are in either of those states or if you travel back and forth for school and breaks.

Many of the students I work best with are high-achieving, thoughtful, and often harder on themselves than anyone else could be. They may look like they have it all together on the outside, but inside, they feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of who they really are. Some are navigating perfectionism, burnout, or relationship stress. Others are adjusting to big life changes like leaving home, figuring out their identity, or questioning their future. If you're someone who’s used to pushing through and holding it all in, therapy can be a space to slow down, be honest, and feel more like yourself again. My goal is to help you build clarity, balance, and self-trust so you can feel grounded even when life is uncertain.
