Two core services, paced to what you're bringing in.
The methods we draw from — CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, somatic, psychodynamic, and more.
Multicultural, BIPOC, women & femme-identifying, and LGBTQ+ communities.
Core ServicesThe work, in two shapes.
Every client begins with a free 15-minute consultation. From there, we match you with the clinician — and the modality mix — that fits what you're carrying in.
01
Individual
therapy
For teens, young adults, and adults — working through anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, and the patterns that keep repeating.
This is the heart of the practice. Weekly one-on-one sessions, paced to what you're carrying, with a clinician trained to hold both the felt sense of your week and the longer arc of the work. We work with teens (13+), college-age clients in the strange suspended moment between who you were and who you're becoming, and adults at every life stage. Treatment plans are collaborative — we'll name what we're working on, check in on what's shifting, and adjust as the picture clarifies.
Anxiety, panic, and the bone-deep exhaustion of always bracing
Trauma and C-PTSD, including attachment wounding
Identity work: race, queerness, immigration, family roles
Launching: leaving home, college, first jobs, first apartments
Depression — heaviness, numbness, going through the motions
Grief, loss, and endings that don't fit on a card
School, academic, and career-related anxiety or burnout
Self-worth, perfectionism, and the inner critic
02
Couples & relational therapy
For partnerships you're still choosing to fight for.
We work with couples, throuples, and chosen partnerships of any structure. Emotionally Focused Therapy is our backbone — slowing the cycle, finding the softer thing underneath the reactive one, and rebuilding a sense of "we" you can actually rest into. We also work with one partner alone on the relationship, when that's what's available.
Communication that keeps spiraling into the same fight
Intimacy, desire, and the conversations that feel impossible
Non-monogamy, polyamory, and relationship structure design
Repair after rupture, infidelity, or a long quiet drift
Major life transitions — moving in, kids, careers, loss
Premarital and pre-commitment work
tHERAPY aPPROACHESThe methods we draw from.
Talk therapy looks different for everyone. We work across the modalities below — used on their own or layered together, depending on what fits. You don't need to know where to start; we'll figure it out together.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT is a structured, goal-oriented, evidence-based therapy for anxiety, depression, OCD, and stress-related conditions. It focuses on how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and teaches you to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns—like catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking, or excessive self-criticism. These are then replaced with more balanced and flexible perspectives.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
CBT's close cousin — but with acceptance held alongside change. Combines mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills. Built for intense emotions, impulsivity, and the rocky terrain of close relationships.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
A structured, body-aware way to reprocess traumatic and distressing memories so they lose their charge. Uses bilateral stimulation — eye movements, taps — to work with the nervous system's own healing capacity. You don't have to retell the whole story.
Internal Family Systems
A gentle parts-work model that meets the protector, the critic, the caretaker, the wounded child — all the inner voices — with curiosity instead of judgment. Helps you lead from the steadier "Self" underneath the noise.
Attachment-Focused Therapy
Looking at how your earliest bonds shaped the way you reach for closeness, protect yourself, and read the people around you. We work with those patterns directly — in the therapy relationship and in the relationships that matter most to you now.
Somatic Therapy
A body-centered approach grounded in the truth that the body keeps the score. Combines talk and gentle somatic awareness to process what's stored beneath language — especially helpful for trauma and chronic nervous-system activation.
Emotionally Focused Therapy
An attachment-based approach to working with emotion — in individuals and couples. We slow down to track what's underneath reactivity, name the deeper feelings and longings, and rework the patterns that keep you stuck in disconnection.
Psychodynamic Therapy
The roots, the patterns, and how your earliest relationships still echo. Talk therapy rooted in psychoanalytic tradition — exploring unconscious dynamics, relational themes, and the old conflicts shaping today's choices.
Grief Therapy
Structured work for the losses that never quite resolved — a death, yes, but also divorce, estrangement, illness, miscarriage, the futures that didn't happen. Helps complete the unfinished emotional business that's still quietly running things.
Executive Functioning Coaching
For the gap between intention and action. Practical systems for planning, time, and follow-through — built around how your brain actually works, not how it's "supposed" to. Addresses the shame and burnout that block momentum, too.
populations we serveBuilt for the rooms that don't always feel built for you.
Everyone is welcome here. We also bring particular depth — clinical training and lived perspective — to the communities below, where traditional therapy spaces sometimes ask you to do too much translating before the work can begin.
Immigrants & multicultural individuals
Whether you've immigrated yourself or come from a family shaped by migration, living between cultures is its own kind of work. Code-switching, language loss, the quiet pressure of generational hopes, the in-between of never fully belonging to one place. Here you don't have to over-explain or translate before we begin.
People of the Global Majority (BIPOC)
Black, Indigenous, and People of Color make up most of the world — and still navigate systems built around a smaller story. Race and culture aren't background; they shape every room you walk into. Therapy can be a place to put it down, to question, and to reclaim what's always been yours.
Women & femme-identifying individuals
Caretaker, achiever, partner, peacekeeper — the roles arrive whether you asked for them or not. Feminist-informed therapy sees personal struggle as shaped by larger systems too. Room for the tired one, the angry one, the tender one, and the version still figuring out which were yours all along.
LGBTQ+ & gender-expansive folks
Affirming care for queer, trans, and questioning clients across the arc — coming out, identity, relationships, transitions, and the everyday weight of moving through a world built around cis-het defaults. A space where your identity is a starting point, not something to explain or defend.
Is this the right fit?What this work is — and isn't.
We'd rather be honest about who we're well-built for, and who we can refer thoughtfully somewhere else.
Looking for sustained, relational outpatient care.
- Ready to meet weekly (or close to it) for at least a few months
- Working through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity, or relational patterns
- Open to a collaborative pace — we'll move neither faster nor slower than feels useful
- Comfortable with virtual sessions from a private space in NY or NJ
- Wanting a therapist with cultural literacy and lived perspective in the room
Acute, intensive, or in-person care we can't responsibly hold.
- Inpatient or partial hospitalization for an active crisis
- Court-ordered evaluation, custody, or forensic assessment
- Active substance use treatment without coordinated medical care
- Psychological testing or formal ADHD / autism evaluation
- In-person sessions — we're a telehealth-only practice
If we're not the right fit, we'll do our best to point you toward someone who is — a warm referral is part of the work, not an afterthought.
FAQA few logistics, answered.
Service-specific questions live here. For broader FAQs, see the main FAQ.
-
Yes, often. People start in individual therapy and add couples sessions when a partner joins, or step down from weekly to bi-weekly as things stabilize. We treat your care plan as a living document — what fits in month one rarely fits in month nine.
-
For ongoing therapy, no — psychology licensure is state-bound, and we're only licensed to practice in NY and NJ. We can sometimes continue working short-term if you travel, and we maintain a referral network of trusted clinicians in other states.
-
That's common when you want focused additional work — EMDR, couples therapy, or coordinated specialty support. We coordinate directly with your individual therapist (with your consent) so the work is additive, not competing.
-
You don't have to. On the consult we'll talk through what's bringing you in and what's worked (or hasn't) before, and we'll suggest a starting point. Most clients work across two or three modalities at once, and the mix shifts as the work deepens.
-
For teens 13+, sessions are one-on-one with the client. We loop in parents or caregivers thoughtfully — usually with periodic family check-ins — and what your teen shares stays between them and the clinician, within standard safety limits we'll explain up front.
