Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

My background in genetics and psychopharmacology led me to psychiatry, where I discovered my passion for helping individuals manage mental health conditions. What keeps me motivated is seeing the transformation in my patients when they find relief and regain control over their lives. It’s deeply fulfilling to guide people on their mental health journey.

I became a therapist because of my passion for supporting individuals on their journey to wellness. Witnessing the transformative power of therapy in people's lives has been incredibly inspiring and fulfilling. My background in behavioral health assessments and my experience with psychological testing have equipped me with the skills to understand and address the complexities of mental health. What motivates me to continue is the profound impact I see in my clients' lives. Helping individuals navigate their mental health challenges, achieve their goals, and improve their overall well-being is what drives me every day. I believe in the power of therapy to bring about positive change, and I am dedicated to providing the compassionate, expert care you deserve.

Welcome to your next safe space, where your mental and emotional well-being is my utmost priority. As a compassionate provider, I am dedicated to guiding you through your journey to wellness with a unique blend of therapeutic support and personalized care. At the heart of my practice is a person-centered approach that values you as the expert on your own life. I believe in the transformative power of a good conversation — one that feels less like therapy and more like a meaningful dialogue. This philosophy has shaped my commitment to creating an inclusive safe haven where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Understanding that each individual's path is distinct, I incorporate innovative methods such as bibliotherapy (using books, literature), cinematherapy (using television and film), and expressive arts to help you navigate sensitive experiences at your own pace. Whether you're facing challenges with ADHD, trauma, depression, anxiety, or other behavioral health concerns, I offer a range of services designed to meet you where you are. With an array of treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Strength-Based Interventions, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and more, my goal is to empower you with clarity and resilience. By recognizing your inherent strengths and fostering mental clarity, we can work together toward a future filled with hope and fulfillment. Embarking on this therapeutic journey requires bravery — and I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Let’s begin this very good conversation and take the first steps toward a life that reflects your true potential.

I became a therapist because it has been my life's calling. I can easily connect with others which makes it easy to build a rapport with others. This rapport is a necessary step in help me to help you heal! When it feels like you are talking to a friend versus someone who is judging you it can be easier to share your life. The more I know, the easier it is for me to help you. What motivates me to continue is the connections I have made with others and the evidence I see in their lives becoming more healthy and happy. There is no better feeling that watching your work transform lives.

Hello! I would like to assist you with gaining control over your life through building positive coping strategies to help you address current psychosocial adaptations and poor coping skills. My focus will help you to reduce your mental health symptoms by developing healthy life choices, positive coping skills, and improved self image. I can assist you in building positive relationships and connections. I am currently providing Telehealth therapeutic services for individuals and couples seeking therapeutic support.

Truthfully, I became a therapist by accident.  I fell into it back in 2012 when I was looking for something meaningful as a career.  But, once I discovered the reward of seeing the lives of others directly improved by something I did or said or some action we took as a team — I was hooked.   The best life is one that makes the lives of others better and I get to live that every day. 

I am a firm believer that every person deserves to heal.  I have been practicing in the mental health field since 2012 and have a wide range of experience.  My main focus is trauma-informed care utilizing EMDR and other modalities. I work to maintain a safe environment if acceptance and non-judgment for all clients. Together, we will identify and build your inner strengths in a working relationship that lets you have control; with me as a guide.  Whatever it is, with the help of your village, we’ll get through it together.

I became a therapist because growing up as an asian-american with immigrant parents was really hard, but I thought it was normal. I thought struggling through multiple cultures and generational differences was normal. I wish I knew I could take up space to just be me without the pressures of guilt or shame or confusion. I have since been on my own journey of constantly learning and unlearning, healing and grieving, living and resting. The idea of investing my time, care, resources and self to holding spaces for others comes from a deep lived understanding that we all have our unique stories where most of us have not had the luxury, the language, the teaching to help us validate and navigate our own stories. As I also have my own version of this process and constantly so, I want to remind us that we are both doing it, we're trying and we're not alone in that effort and in the baby and big steps alike. My experience though laced with grief of what I didn't know and what I thought "should/had" to be also includes hope attained and lived and that is what continues to motivate me to continue. I hope that you will choose, even a baby step, to invest in yourself by reaching out for a consult because you are worth it and deserve support that will help you not only survive, but live most meaningfully to you.

Hi, my name is Hannah and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist. I identify as asian-american and have a lived understanding of struggling to hold space to just be, to exist as myself without the visceral weights of guilt/shame. I believe your story is uniquely yours and that you are worth not only existing freely as yourself, but worthy of living meaningfully as it best fits you.

I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to be in the middle of a crisis and still have to show up for the people you love. As both a parent and someone who has navigated my own healing journey, I understand how heavy life can feel—and how important it is to have someone who really listens. Therapy changed my life, and I wanted to offer others that same kind of grounded, compassionate support. I believe in the power of safe relationships to heal what’s been broken, and I feel deeply honored to walk alongside others as they find their voice, their strength, and their way forward.

I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and grounded in real connection. I'm here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.

I enjoy knowing that I can use my empathy and compassion to offer support in challenging times. I believe I have many valuable skills that can help my clients succeed. Being in this profession is one of my greatest joys.

I have been a medical social worker for over 15 years after the first wave of the pandemic I felt my experience with patients and families in a hospital setting would helpful to people struggling with grief and loss due to covid and other illnesses. In the past I have also worked with people struggling with anxiety, depression, pain management and trauma related stress.

Hello, thank you for reading my profile. I am a Licensed clinical social worker and grief counselor in the NY area. I offer counseling through a virtual platform or in office. My focus is usually with people who struggle with grief and loss, anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress, caregiver support and/or general life stressors. I accept different forms of insurance, private pay, or out of network. I look forward to speaking with you.

I’ve always been drawn to people’s stories. Even as a child, I found myself sitting beside classmates on the playground, listening closely, helping them process feelings and offering perspective in ways that felt natural and intuitive. When I met my school counselor, something clicked—I suddenly had language for what I felt called to do. From that point on, I knew I wanted to become a therapist. That clarity never wavered. Over the years, I’ve followed that early calling with intention and deep commitment. For more than a decade, I’ve had the honor of supporting individuals through some of the most courageous and transformative moments of their lives. What continues to inspire me is the resilience I witness every single day—the way people show up for themselves, even in the midst of pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. Therapy is not just about symptom relief—it’s about stepping into growth, reclaiming power, and creating change that ripples into every area of life. I get to walk alongside people as they confront the hard stuff, untangle old narratives, and reconnect with who they are and who they’re becoming. That process is sacred, and I don’t take it lightly. What keeps me grounded and motivated is honoring that work while also honoring myself—building a business that reflects my values, working within my scope and strengths, and connecting with clients who are ready to lean in, get real, and do the work. Whether we’re processing trauma, navigating life transitions, or rediscovering purpose, I show up with authenticity, compassion, and a deep belief in your capacity for change. Helping people reach their goals, step into their power, and build the life they want to live—that’s what lights me up. And I feel incredibly lucky to do this work every day.

At Path to Growth Therapy, I’m dedicated to supporting clients as they navigate life’s challenges and uncover tools and strategies to foster growth and reduce symptoms. Therapy with me is a space for reflection, self-discovery, and meaningful transformation—a stepping stone to real and lasting change. My approach is straightforward and strengths-based, grounded in cultural responsiveness, trauma-informed care, and gender-affirming practices. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where you can build a growth mindset and take intentional steps toward a more fulfilling life. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and empower you to move forward. If you’re ready to see if we’re the right fit, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to start your journey. Let’s work together to create a path toward the life you deserve!

Many people experience dark times in their life. For some, those dark times can lead to insight into their calling, as it did for me. I truly believe I was meant to be a therapist. I don’t remember wanting to do anything else. My journey to mental health counseling began as a volunteer group facilitator for those who have experienced intimate partner violence, physical and/or sexual abuse as a child or adult. I gained experience as an addiction counselor before entering grad school. I have 8 years of experience working in community mental health/DMH setting as an employment specialist, case manager and therapist before making the move to private practice. It’s fulfilling work to be a part of someone’s journey, no matter how dark it starts there is hope. I enjoy helping people realize their innate potential and heal.

I’m so glad you are here! My personal philosophy around therapy is that it is a tool used to help you on your journey until you are ready to let go of the helping hand and navigate your world using the coping skills, tools and resources you gained in therapy. Allow me to help you navigate through this confusing time and help you regain your confidence in yourself. As your therapist I can guide you towards improving your mood and relationships as well as strengthening your copings skills and problem solving abilities so that what once felt unmanageable is now manageable. Give me a call for a free 15 minute consultation to see if I’m the right therapist for you!
