My space is direct, warm, and built around your actual life. You don't have to wait for a crisis to reach out. Let's stop the performance and start building something real. *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.

Steven is a Licensed Clinician Social worker and former teacher with a focus on truly connecting with clients and understanding their unique needs. He became a therapist because he saw too many people struggling to be heard, understood, or find tools that actually improve their lives. Over the years, he's developed practical, proven approaches that have helped many clients move forward. Steven typically works with young adults struggling with anxiety, panic, OCD, and life transitions/habits they wish to change.

Do you feel like you have little control over your thoughts? Do you have difficulty sharing and making sense of your feelings? These issues may be the result of limited self-awareness, and/or challenges managing and regulating your emotions. These challenges can sometimes lead to difficulty managing conflict in your relationships with others whether at home/work/socially. Seeking support through therapy is an excellent first step. Therapy can help you gain insight and awareness on how past experiences affect your current relationships and behavior patterns. As a first-generation Indian female, I have a unique perspective on culture and family dynamics. I understand the importance of cultural/social elements in one’s development and perception. Through these experiences, I have learned that therapy is not a “one-size-fits-all” modality but instead must take into consideration each person’s unique background. I serve young adults of all backgrounds. I am particularly interested in helping those struggling with anxiety, ADHD, body dysmorphia, depression, and attachment issues. In addition, I serve people dealing with cultural trauma.

Hi, I'm Stacey, and I have been a therapist for more than twenty years. I work with teens, young adults, older adults, couples, and families, and over that time I have walked alongside people facing just about every kind of life and mental health challenge. My approach is holistic, which means we look at how your mental, physical, and spiritual health connect, because that fuller picture often opens up solutions that are hard to find any other way. I will meet you with dignity, warmth, and respect, and I will hold a safe space where you can explore, grow, and figure out what balance looks like for you. Many people arrive feeling stuck or in distress, and I like to remind my clients that even in the middle of a struggle there is real room to grow into the best version of yourself. I genuinely love listening to people's stories and helping them move toward their goals. I see clients through WellQor, where I provide therapy entirely online, so we can meet from wherever you feel most comfortable. If you would like to begin working together, visit the WellQor website and fill out the Get Started form. A patient liaison will then text you with the next steps and help get you on my schedule. I cannot wait to learn more about you.

Hi, I'm Marie. Life has a way of handing us more than we feel ready for, whether it is a loss, a change you did not choose, or a worry that just will not quiet down. When you are in the middle of it, you do not have to carry it alone. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, and I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and family conflict. Across schools and community settings, one thing has stayed true for me: everyone has a story, and every story deserves curiosity instead of judgment. I will meet you where you are and help you build on the strengths you already have, drawing on CBT, solution-focused work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. What matters most is that our time together feels safe, honest, and genuinely yours. I promise to honor your story, celebrate your progress, and walk alongside you the whole way. I see clients through WellQor, which offers online therapy so we can connect from wherever works for you. To begin, visit the WellQor website and complete the Get Started form. A patient liaison will then text you the next steps and help set up your first appointment. I look forward to meeting you.

Hello all, I am from NYC originally, and have been a licensed psychologist for 17 years! I completed my clinical internship at Yale, and my post-doctorate at the Boston College Counseling Center.

I specialize in helping young adults navigate difficulties such as anxiety, depression, executive function, relationship issues, panic, and spectrum disorders.

Hi, I’m Dhvani! I offer virtual therapy sessions for students in NY and NJ who may be looking for support beyond their campus counseling center. I work with people navigating anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions—especially during demanding or uncertain times in school. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices like mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I understand that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll tailor our work based on your goals—whether that means building practical tools to manage day-to-day stress or exploring deeper patterns that may be shaping your experiences. Finding the right therapist matters. If you’re interested in working together, I’d be happy to connect for a free consultation to see if it feels like a good fit for you.

Welcome! I am a psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience working with college students. I offer a supportive, respectful, and collaborative environment in which you can feel safe and understood, gain increased insight and awareness, and develop healthier ways of coping and connecting with others. My work is trauma informed and founded on culturally inclusive and LGBTQIA+ inclusive values. I tailor my work to your needs and particular situation. I am very well acquainted with the Bard community and find this is quite helpful in my work with Bard students.

I’ve been part of the Harvard Medical School system for over a decade, first as a trainee, now as faculty member. I'm trained primarily in psychodynamic therapy, but principles/interventions from other paradigms also inform my work, and I love working with students. Ultimately, the nature of therapy depends on the patient, what they are up against, and their goals. For this reason, the course of therapy is difficult to describe, but surely only ever works in a context of empathy & respect, not to mention humor (sometimes life can only be laughed at). This is a perspective I lay out in some detail in a recently published, two-volume book, titled, "A Humane Vision of Clinical Psychology." I'm a good fit for someone looking to understand and change established patterns, and to find relief from associated symptoms. Currently, I am contracted with the student insurances at Tufts and Boston College, which make sessions very inexpensive for students. I am licensed in Massachusetts, New York, Colorado, Vermont, and Connecticut. Very happy to arrange telehealth sessions for students in any of those states.

I enjoy working with emerging adults in college on any issues related to managing stress, anxiety, depression or trauma/loss. I use a variety of evidence based techniques for recovery and healing.
