(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.

I help adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and self-esteem concerns, drawing on more than 10 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. The people I work best with are those who want to better understand themselves, break unhelpful patterns, strengthen their relationships, and feel more confident managing life's challenges. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply looking for meaningful change, I provide a space to identify strategies, build healthier coping skills, and work toward becoming the version of yourself you want to be. Therapy works best, I believe, when patients feel heard and understood without judgment. My goal is to be a collaborative, trusted partner who meets you where you are while helping you move toward where you want to be. Together, we can look more closely at the challenges you're facing, recognize the patterns that may be holding you back, and develop tools for meaningful change. I look forward to helping you build greater confidence, deepen your relationships, and create a healthier, more fulfilling life. Therapy with me is hands-on and individualized, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT) while also exploring the experiences and patterns that may be contributing to your current challenges. I believe it should be a space where you feel understood, while also being challenged to develop new perspectives and make real changes. Growing your self-awareness and confidence, along with the skills you can use to create lasting change in your everyday life, is something I'm passionate about helping you achieve. That looks like a nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable being yourself, using these same tools to make sense of your thoughts and emotions, develop coping skills, and move toward that change. My style is warm, direct, and down-to-earth, because therapy should feel like a partnership, tailored to your unique needs, experiences, and goals, balancing encouragement with the room you need to grow. My path as a therapist has been shaped by more than 10 years of working with people through different stages of life and a wide range of challenges. These experiences have reinforced my belief that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I bring curiosity, compassion, and a down-to-earth perspective to each session, taking the time to understand who you are as a person, not just the challenges that brought you to therapy, so we can create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself while working toward meaningful and lasting change. When I’m not in session, I love playing tennis and cheering on my Knicks!

We are two NYC-based licensed child and adolescent psychologists and the founders of The Bravery Collective Psychology, a private practice serving young people and parents in NY, NJ, and all 40+ PSYPACT-participating states.

Our mission is to help young people build the tools to move toward their goals, even when those goals feel big and intimidating. Our expertise: - Mood & Coping - Withdrawal, worry, depression, avoidance, anxiety, body image concerns - Executive Functioning & Organization - Trouble focusing, impulsivity, disorganization - Life Transitions & Coping with Illness - Identity, adjustment to diagnoses, health anxiety, support around medication management/adherence - Behavioral Concerns & Development - Meltdowns, defiance, externalizing behaviors, sleep struggles, toileting - Parent Support - Stress, communication, limit setting, preparation for major life events - Sibling Dynamics - Sibling relationships, sibling conflict, competition, resilience

MANY OF US GO THROUGH LIFE as are our own harshest critics. We speak to ourselves in ways we wouldn't dare speak to a friend or loved one. Together, you and I can uncover the negative thoughts and beliefs you may hold and work to replace them with kinder, more empowering truths. You deserve to be your own biggest cheerleader, and I'll be right there behind you. OR, PERHAPS YOU'RE STRUGGLING to accept a difficult change or loss. I am here to say that you are not alone, and that hope for a positive, fulfilling future exists. While it may temporarily feel easier to avoid the grief that comes with such change and loss, I am here to sit with you in your toughest emotions. As we practice weathering the storm rather than fighting against it or running from it, we can help you adapt to your new reality, find meaning, and reconnect with your purpose and well-being. MY APPROACH IS COLLABORATIVE, client-centered, and strengths-based. I believe that a trusting therapeutic relationship serves as the foundation for all of the work that we will do together. Therefore, the process of building that trust and learning about your unique experiences, needs, and strengths is pivotal. As we personalize your therapy journey, it is my goal for your authentic self to feel affirmed and uplifted.

Reaching out for help can be hard. We will do our best to provide a safe, supportive environment, when you can feel free to share as much as you need to. We consider therapy to be a collaboration between clinician and patient. Our job is to work with you to help you better understand your inner thoughts and feelings so that you can become the best version of you. We tend to follow patterns of behavior based on our earliest identities. Some of us go through life thinking we are not smart enough, not good looking enough, not capable enough, or not as good as others. It's important to understand that these beliefs are not in fact reality, but an internalized sense of self that we have learned from our earliest experiences. Because of these beliefs, we can often find ourselves repeating unhealthy patterns in relationships, how we deal with stress, social isolation, engaging in unhealthy or risky behaviors, and all manner of acting out in self-destructive ways. Therapy can help re-define who you are, so that instead following these unhealthy patterns, you can make choices that are informed by what you really want, as opposed to what you think you deserve. Therapy is not a quick fix. It takes time and commitment, and it is hard. We are ready to make that commitment with you, and be with you on your journey of self-discovery, so that you can become the author of your own life, rather than letting it be written for you. Please contact us for a free consultation.

I work from a human-centered base which consists of empathy and curiosity. I have 4+ years in substance use treatment as well as 4+ years working with justice involved individuals in an alternative to incarceration program. I utilize trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches which consist of harm reduction and motivational interviewing techniques. I am passionate about social justice and understand that as individuals, people live in a context of systems, small and large. I work with people to understand themselves and others in these contexts. I also have a special interest in those who are creatives and artists as well as college students in their multifaceted life transitions.

Welcome to Jocelyn Bibi Therapy! I approach the therapeutic relationship with collaboration at the forefront: no one person is the same, or needs the same things. You can expect me to be a thought partner and an ally; I am here to help guide you through challenges, setbacks and exploration in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

In our sessions you will be in a safe, warm environment, free to look inside yourself and delve into the crux of what has been happening for you. I value connection wholeheartedly; I believe that in order for therapy to work the client and therapist need to have a strong, trusting working relationship.

Finding the time and energy for therapy can be hard. Then there's the strange task of explaining the full context of you to a stranger. Maybe one thing requires explaining five others first. Maybe you spend most of the hour catching someone up and don't quite get to what you meant to talk about. You might mention something you're not sure matters, leave out an important detail, or say something and think, that's not quite what I meant. And sometimes you've said it, analyzed it, understood it, and still don't feel any better. I think therapy gets more interesting when we can be honest about all of that. You may be new to therapy or returning, dealing with something immediate or something you've carried for years, or just feeling off and unsure why. The adults and adolescents I work well with don't necessarily share a diagnosis, background, or reason for seeking help. What they often share is curiosity, some healthy skepticism, and a desire for a therapist they can be real with while healing from anxiety, depression, panic, shame, disconnection, creative blocks, relationship patterns, life transitions, and the harder-to-name reasons people come to therapy. I believe you deserve to feel better, but I don't think I get to decide what "better" should look like for you. You know your life in a way I never can, and I take that seriously. I see therapy as something we build together: I bring my training and perspective; you bring everything I couldn't possibly know from a diagnosis or a few sessions. The version of you that can't fit into an intake form is the one I look forward to getting to know. I take an integrative approach to psychotherapy, drawing from different ways of working depending on your needs, goals, history, and the way you make sense of the world. In session, my style is conversational, candid, creative, and nonjudgmental. Sometimes a session calls for a concrete tool. Other times, it means getting curious about a relationship, memory, story, pattern, or behavior that keeps resurfacing. I am influenced by narrative therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic and psychoanalytic thinking. I'm particularly interested in shame, self-compassion, and the ways we learn to cope. Time spent in outpatient substance use treatment and crisis work shaped the harm-reduction lens I bring beyond addiction, respecting your autonomy, reducing harm, and recognizing that change doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. I'm also interested in what a pattern does for you, where it helps, and where it gets in the way. Working together, you can expect a space that feels thoughtful and alive. I draw from evidence-based psychotherapy, but I don't believe good therapy has to feel formulaic. We might follow an unexpected connection or use a piece of writing, a song, or a metaphor to help us think about problems differently. Most of all, I want our work to feel real. I'm collaborative and human in the room: I ask questions, share what I notice, offer my perspective, and invite your feedback. My path to becoming a therapist wasn’t linear. I studied creative writing and worked in marketing for about half a decade before going back to school for social work. Though I always felt crushed by existential questions and the usual pangs of human condition. Changing careers taught me that it’s possible to invest in one version of your life and still decide you want something different. Becoming a therapist wasn't a linear path for me. I studied creative writing and worked in marketing for about half a decade before going back to school for social work, though I always felt crushed by existential questions and the usual pangs of the human condition. Changing careers taught me that it's possible to invest in one version of your life and still decide you want something different. Outside of work, I like making Spotify playlists with overly specific names, reading and writing fiction, doodling, working my way through The Artist’s Way, analyzing reality TV, fun pens, and breakfast food.

You have the strength and agency to shape what comes next, even when the past feels heavy and the path forward feels unclear. If you're feeling overwhelmed, unsure of where to begin, or simply longing for a change, you're not alone. Therapy is a space where you can be deeply seen, heard, and supported, and I believe it should feel that way from the very first session. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma-informed therapy, grief, emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and deeper insight-oriented work for adolescents, young adults, and adults. Many of the people I work with feel emotionally overwhelmed or stuck in patterns that are hard to break – racing thoughts, relationship difficulties, unresolved pain, and intense emotions interfering with daily life in ways that feel isolating and exhausting. Whether you're navigating mood changes, grief, family conflict, burnout, identity concerns, or trauma-related experiences, you deserve warm, grounded support that helps you better understand yourself, feel safe exploring difficult emotions, and develop healthier ways of coping. Together, we'll work toward greater insight, emotional resilience, and self-trust at a pace that feels authentic and manageable for you. Integrating psychodynamic and humanistic therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) techniques, I support both practical coping and meaningful emotional healing with compassion, collaboration, and authenticity. My goal as your engaged and emotionally attuned partner is to help you gain insight into the underlying patterns driving your distress, while empowering you to build lasting change and stronger relationships with yourself and others. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, curious, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel genuinely seen and heard. Insight-oriented exploration works alongside practical coping tools to help you better understand your emotions, process difficult experiences, and move through life with greater emotional flexibility and resilience. Treatment is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and lived experiences, because no two people, and no two paths forward, are exactly alike. A deep interest in understanding emotional suffering, relationships, and the ways early experiences shape our sense of self led me to this work. Through years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and couples navigating complex emotional and relational challenges, a strong commitment to trauma-informed, compassionate care has become the foundation of everything I do. Warmth, authenticity, curiosity, and deep emotional presence are what I bring into the therapy space now, because meaningful healing requires feeling safe enough to explore, process, and grow. Reading, gardening, cooking, spending time outdoors, and caring for animals are all things that bring me genuine joy and keep me grounded. Creativity, reflection, and meaningful connection are values I hold closely, and they naturally shape the thoughtful, compassionate approach I carry into my clinical work.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what’s going on internally? Whether you’re wrestling with academic pressures, struggling to understand why certain tasks feel harder than they should, or wondering if there’s more to why you feel anxious or disconnected, I’m here to help you find clarity and answers. I’m a psychologist in New York City with a focus on assessments that go beyond surface-level challenges, helping students like you understand who they are and what they need to succeed. Many of the students who find testing helpful are motivated, thoughtful, and want to know themselves better. They may feel like no matter how hard they try, something still feels off, or they feel out of sync with others. If you’ve been wondering if there’s a reason behind your difficulties with focus, social interactions, anxiety, or even low moods, psychological testing can help reveal what’s happening beneath the surface. I work especially well with students who want a deeper understanding of themselves, so they can navigate college life, relationships, and personal goals with confidence. The results of testing shouldn’t feel like another test to understand. My approach is about making sense of what’s going on in a clear, accessible way. My goal is for you to feel equipped to take on college – and life – with greater self-awareness and practical tools that work for you.

Healing and growth can be challenging, and you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re feeling the weight of past experiences or facing challenges in your relationship, we offer a warm, welcoming space where you can be honest about what you’re carrying and feel fully supported. We focus on what matters most—the moments that spark insight, the conversations that feel necessary but tough, and the steps that help you move forward. Together, we will process what has been difficult, nurture your connection with yourself, and deepen your bond with the people who matter most.
