Le mental health counseling
(For referral email please email jonathanle@lementalhealthcounseling.com) My approach is to work on ways to change your thoughts, ways to be mindful of triggers, stimuli or outside factors that contribute to negative thinking and negative behaviors . I have worked on a vast amount of different concerns such as phobias, anxiety, or depressive symptoms and many other mental health concerns as well. I worked with a numerous people with different backgrounds and mental health concerns and while every client is unique, I was able to work with my clients to meet their goals and improve their mood and thoughts, and I believe I can provide the help and support for you too.
Estee Hirsch
I am a psychotherapist specializing in individual and couples’ therapy and maintain a full-time private practice in the financial district of Manhattan. After receiving my masters in mental health counseling from CUNY Brooklyn College I continued my training at The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP) focusing on psychoanalytic theory and practice. I am currently working as a high-risk screener as well as a therapist for the LGBTQ+ affirmative treatment division within ICP. In addition to private practice work, I am conducting research identifying predictive factors for people leaving Orthodox Judaism and have presented at conferences on the topic of disaffiliation within Orthodox Judaism. I am currently pursuing my PhD at Adelphi University School of Social Work. My approach to therapy is primarily psychodynamic in nature. In my practice I take the time to listen closely to your needs and tailor our sessions to meet you where you currently are. Through our work together we will move towards greater understanding of your past and its impact on your life today, this depth of work allows for greater self acceptance and more control over the decisions you make in your life. Our sessions will be spent working to increase your self awareness while strengthening your capacity to fully engage with the world. Together we will expand your window of tolerance by unpacking the feelings and thoughts that bring you discomfort, leading to a more authentic and comprehensive experience of yourself.

Juliet Spier Therapy
My therapeutic work tends to resonate with people who have spent a long time thinking their way through distress and are ready for something that goes deeper. I tend to work well with people who are struggling with a persistent sense of loneliness or feeling misunderstood, and who need therapy to be able to hold complex layers of experience. Many are navigating a queer, trans, or neurodivergent experience that doesn't fit easily into any category, struggling with nuanced questions about relationships and sexuality, or bearing the weight of repeated traumas, anxiety, and depression.
Asasia Richardson
I’m a licensed therapist in New York specializing in collaborative, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed therapy. I work with people navigating challenges related to anxiety, trauma, life transitions, dysfunctional family relationships, and racial/cultural identity. Maybe this looks like chronic over-thinking, struggling in your relationships, difficulty with boundaries, stress, feeling conflicted about your identity, or more. However these challenges show up for you, I'm here to help!
Claudia Suan
As a compassionate and culturally sensitive licensed clinical social, I support adolescents, adults, parents, and families. Together, we navigate anxiety, social anxiety, depression, relationship issues, ADHD, identity exploration, parenting, family conflict, life transitions, self-esteem, alcohol and substance use, trauma and PTSD, and emotional regulation. In our time together, I ensure a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you are empowered to explore your experiences. I'm passionate about helping you develop emotional resilience, reinforce your communication skills, and achieve greater overall well-being. Empathy and connection are at the heart of my work as a therapist because healing and growth, I believe, happen through safe and supportive relationships. These values help me be a collaborative partner in your journey so you can explore challenges, build on your skills, and work toward positive change at your own pace. My approach is collaborative and individualized, helping you develop greater self-understanding, healthier patterns of behavior and communication, and more meaningful bonds. Together, we work toward reducing distress, building effective coping strategies, and creating positive, lasting change that supports greater satisfaction in life. You can expect a warm, safe, and supportive environment as we work together, using culturally responsive, strengths-based, and trust-centered therapeutic approaches to help you build emotional regulation skills, navigate life changes, manage stress and anxiety, and support your relationships. My style is compassionate and patient-centered, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to make changes that support your personal growth. My path to becoming a therapist began by working with children and families. Early in my career, I helped children identify their emotions, express their needs, and develop healthy attachments. Along the way, I developed a deeper appreciation for the ways our early experiences, family dynamics, and cultural background shape who we are and how we connect with others. I learned that every behavior, emotion, and coping strategy has a story behind it. This perspective helps me approach each patient with curiosity, compassion, and an understanding that growth occurs when people feel safe, supported, and heard. I enjoy yoga, hiking, and biking to stay active and recharge, and I love a good game of backgammon. Theater, art, and independent films are among my favorite ways to unwind, and cooking and traveling round out my list of interests.

Emma Margles-Forgione
You deserve a compassionate and grounded partner in your healing journey. As a mental health counselor for children, adolescents, young adults, and couples, I specialize in helping patients navigate relationship patterns, attachment dynamics, self-esteem development, identity exploration, interpersonal dynamics, anxiety and depression, disordered eating, and life transitions. If you’re ready to work toward greater self-understanding and emotional resilience, please reach out today. I look forward to supporting you as you develop greater confidence, self-acceptance, and a deeper sense of meaning and purpose. I take a holistic, collaborative, and individualized approach to care to help you build insight, emotional awareness, and growth for meaningful, lasting change. We achieve this together in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment tailored to your unique personality, presenting problems, and needs. Your customized treatment plan may include psychodynamic and person-centered therapies, integrated with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and relational therapy to guide you in reaching your goals. My passion for therapy grew from wanting to be a safe space for people going through difficult periods and feeling like they have no one they can talk to. As someone who lacked this outlet as a teenager, I understood the value of providing unconditional, compassionate care. In my practice now, I remain committed to bringing a humanizing perspective to the therapeutic relationship, grounded in the belief that we all share similar emotions and life experiences, in order to ensure patients feel seen, understood, and supported in every session. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying active through sports like soccer, tennis, wake surfing, skiing (downhill and cross-country), running marathons, yoga, and other workouts; as well as by hiking, taking long walks, and being near the beach or mountains. I also enjoy reading self-help books, watching psychological thrillers and rom-coms, listening to music, cooking healthy meals, and spending meaningful time with friends — staying present and unplugged from phones whenever possible.
David Rachman
College and early adulthood come with a lot of messy, in-between moments — anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, identity questions, and transitions nobody fully prepares you for. I'm David, and this is exactly the stuff I work with. My background is a little different: I hold degrees in both Neuroscience and Social Work, which means I bring both brain-based science and genuine human warmth to every session. I use IFS, mindfulness, and somatic work to help you understand your patterns — and I'm equally comfortable with harm reduction or a focus on full abstinence, depending on what's right for you. Expect some humor and creativity along the way too. No judgment, no scripts. Just a real conversation. Reach out whenever you're ready. *Insurance & Fees* I am in-network with Aetna, Cigna, and Northwell Direct in NY only, and out of network with all other major insurance companies in NY and FL. My office provides a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement and we will assist you in verifying your benefits to ensure the process is seamless. I also offer a sliding scale rate for those in need. Please reach out to learn more about how we can make therapy work for you.
Joseph Atanasio
There are times when we ask ourselves questions we feel we have no answers to: "Why am I not happy?", "How do I improve my life?" and "Will I ever find a solution to this problem that is consistent and stressful?". Have hope! The answers are there inside of you, waiting to be discovered. I strive to support my clients without judgement, challenging those who are ready to explore themes of personal responsibility, meaning, and resolution. Through genuine client/therapist interactions, the emotional impact of trauma, loss, depression, and/or anxiety can be relieved, and answers found. I have a wide range of experience in helping those who may be suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. Working with older adolescents to older adults, I find that combining a person-centered therapy model with CBT, Gestalt, and Mindfulness interventions can be especially helpful. It is my belief that therapy should be an experience of thoughtfulness, reflection and discovery. In-the-moment therapeutic experiments, music therapy, and artistic mindfulness are all tools that can be used to stir the creative process towards finding the answers one is looking for, and the journey thereafter.
