What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

If you’re looking for someone who is down to earth and are ready for change so you can create the life you want and become a better version of yourself, I may be the therapist for you! Trust and respect are keys to relationships. When we are working together, that is the foundation I strive to build so you can feel respected, safe, and supported when sharing your story.

If you are struggling and you want to reduce your anxiety, depression, stress, and/or relationship conflicts therapy can help. We can work together so you can advocate and care more for yourself and connect to what you need.

I want therapy participants to show up as they are. We will dive only as deep as they are ready to. First, it is important to build trust, I use humor, positive reinforcement and a relatable approach to that. Once that happens some of our sessions are more structured and goal oriented, sometimes we might be discussing some more immediate situations that might have occurred. It is my goal to make client's feel heard and validated while working towards their personalized goals.

Therapy participants at Say More MHC are likely women or those exploring their relationship with alcohol or drug use, seeking empowerment and personal growth. You may be experiencing issues related to gender inequality, societal pressures, stigma, addiction or personal trauma. You may be seeking to understand and challenge the systemic factors affecting your mental health or drug use to reclaim your voice and autonomy for a healthier lifestyle. I provide a collaborative therapeutic relationship where your experiences and perspectives are validated and respected. We can explore identity, relationships, and life choices through the lens of feminist theory while incorporating other evidence based practices like motivational interviewing, DBT & CBT to reach your specific goals. I understand how challenging it can be to navigate life’s difficulties, especially when dealing with issues like substance use or emotional struggles. I’m here to offer a supportive, empowering environment where your experiences are validated and your strengths are nurtured. Together, we can work towards your goals & build the life you envisioned.

Therapy with me is a space where you can show up exactly as you are. We’ll talk about what’s on your mind, figure out what’s underneath it all, and work together to find ways to help you feel more grounded and in control. I like to keep things practical and real—no judgment, no pressure. Some sessions might be about untangling deep emotions, while others could focus on managing day-to-day stress or figuring out what’s next for you. My goal is to give you the tools and support you need to make sense of what’s going on and start feeling better in a way that actually works for your life.

I’m a therapist based in NYC, specializing in helping individuals navigate anxiety, loneliness, burnout, and life transitions. I work with LGBTQIA+ clients, first-generation professionals, and those exploring non-monogamy. My approach blends psychodynamic insights, mindfulness, and practical strategies to support growth and resilience.

I allow YOU, the client, to be in the driver’s seat of our sessions. I will follow along with you while you tell me about your mental health journey and the stressors of life you may be experiencing. I will validate and normalize those feelings while also gently challenging you to help further your growth. When conversations slow down (& they might not!), I have lots of worksheets and activities to talk through together to help you think and explore deeper.  

Congratulations on taking the first step in your therapy journey! My passion is working with teens and young adults navigating life stressors and anxieties around school/college, relationships, friends, or family. I will be an active listener and provide a safe environment to process challenging feelings.

When we first meet, I will ask questions and get to know what your primary concern is. I'll also administer some inventories that will allow me to tailor a plan that is specific to you. Once I have the data back from your inventories, we will get right to work. I am a therapist that requires my clients to put in the work, but I will work as well.

Hi! My name is Mira Brady, and I have been a counselor for 8 years. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. Choosing a therapist is very personal and I urge you to be judgmental as possible to find the right fit for you. My approach is to work beside you to achieve your personal goals and growth. My personal belief and value is to "Do No Harm" to any of my clients. I will work to make sure your mental health is my first priority. I also believe in autonomy. You have the right to decide what is best for you and your life. I will not pressure you to do or say anything that makes you uncomfortable.

In my practice, you are the expert on your own lived experiences, and I honor and validate your unique journey. My approach is tailored to meet your specific needs and goals, using a combination of dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you build confidence, heal, and grow. Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are, free from judgment, as we work together to challenge, validate, and affirm your experiences, empowering you to move forward at your own pace.

Welcome! I am an emo/punk and art loving therapist in Georgia offering person-centered, empowerment-based counseling for adults.

I provide a supportive environment where you can express your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. This safe space allows you to explore and understand aspects of yourself that might have been buried or ignored for too long. As we delve into your emotions and the root causes of your struggles, you gain insights into patterns of behavior or thinking that may be keeping you disconnected from your true self or your goals. You will also learn self-regulation techniques, such as breathing exercises, guided imagery, and somatic practices, which help calm your nervous system and foster a deeper connection between body and mind, making it easier to process emotions and reprocess traumatic memories. Unresolved trauma, pain, and negative thought patterns are addressed and processed. I use EMDR to reprocess traumatic memories, allowing your brain to heal and integrate past experiences in a way that no longer causes distress, and reducing their emotional impact on your present. EMDR helps shift negative beliefs related to trauma to more positive, adaptive beliefs. TEAM-CBT focuses on recognizing and breaking free from the distorted thinking patterns and self-defeating behaviors that are keeping you stuck. I will help you reframe your thinking so you can begin to shift your emotional responses and regain control over your actions. Then we will work on creating a new, healthier patterns in your life.

I specialize in working with ambitious adults who are secretly dealing with anxiety, depression, or past trauma to heal deeply, build emotional strength, achieve a deeper sense of happiness and purpose, and live a more fulfilling and connected life.

Typically I let my clients dictate where we start - pleasantries? dive right in? follow up from last session? Everyone's style is different and I am flexible. Therapy sessions are casual, connected, and we go at your pace and spend time on the areas that are most important to you.

Hello! I'm the sole therapist of my practice, Dahlia Wellness LLC, founded around the belief that true healing and change requires an environment where one is witnessed non-judgmentally for who they really are. I have extensive experience working with individuals who struggle with low self worth, loss of hope, feelings of anxiety, depression, and the short and long impact of traumatic relationships or experiences. I work with individuals who are struggling with self harm or suicidal ideation, and I am affirming of all gender/sexual identifications and expressions.

As an integrative therapist, I find that adapting evidence-based treatments in a way that takes into account specific needs and culture is essential to treatment. Evidence based approaches I use in my practice include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), CBT for insomnia (CBT-I), cognitive processing therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (CPT), and motivational interviewing. I also provide psychological evaluations for bariatric surgery.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York and New Jersey with a special interest in adjusting to medical illness and aging. A clinical health psychologist by training, I received my Ph.D. from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York after completing a pre-doctoral Clinical Psychology Internship at Mount Sinai Services/Elmhurst (2023). I also hold a Licentiate in Psychology from the Universidad de Palermo in Buenos Aires, Argentina (2013). I have specific expertise in helping adults adjust to chronic illness, including heart failure and other cardiovascular conditions, cancer and cancer survivorship, palliative and end-of-life care, diabetes, asthma, and GI/gastrointestinal disease, through my pre-doctoral externships and internship at Northwell Health/Long Island Jewish in Manhasset, Queens Hospital, and Elmhurst Hospital. My research has focused on aging adults’ adjustment to life with multiple chronic illnesses, including improving quality of life, reducing depressive symptoms, illness self-management, and patient-provider communication. In addition to my role as a therapist, I am also a Postdoctoral Associate in Behavioral Geriatrics in the Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, where I focus on understanding the relationship between living with multiple chronic conditions and depression, as well as improving care for this population. I am a member of the Gerontological Society of America and the Society for Behavioral Medicine, and an editorial board member for the Annals of Behavioral Medicine.

Right off the bat, my number one priority will be making you comfortable. Therapy works best when you feel at ease, and your brain gets that you're in a safe place to explore what's been doing on and what you would like to create in your life. It can be kind of daunting, especially at first, but rest assured that on my many years on Earth there's probably nothing much I haven't already heard and pretty much nothing can shock me at this point. I mean, if you can't feel safe talking to your therapist, who CAN you feel comfortable with?

I'm a mix of all sorts of cultural influences - hence my fascination with languages and helping my clients adapt to change. My mother tongue is English, but I also grew up speaking Spanish, with my years in Buenos Aires leaving me with an unmistakably Argentinian accent (which other Spanish- speakers tend to sometimes 'lovingly mock'). My European side is thanks to over 30 years spent living and working in France, where I picked up not only an incurable love for lavender crème brûlée and other deliciously fattening foods, but the ability to provide therapy in fluent French. All in all, this means that immigrants, foreigners, expats; you're my people!
