I spent several years working in New York City's mental health system, providing individual and group psychotherapy to adults and adolescents, addiction treatment, and family conflict resolution.
Opening up can be challenging for some individuals, so I make it a priority to create a safe, warm, and respectful environment. I am a compassionate and creative therapist who strives to ensure that you will feel heard and understood as you confront life's challenges. Therapy is an opportunity to find personal fulfillment, increased self-understanding, and the ability to self-reflect. I will help you in this journey and along the way we will identify unhealthy patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, as well as strengthen meaningful relationships.

I take my role as a mentor to teens and young adults seriously.
Hi, I'm Jacob. I'm a traveler, a reader, an outoorsman and a plant collector. I'm a Therapist, a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, and a Wilderness First Responder. In 2013 I graduated with an MSW from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. There, I obtained specialty certificates in Substance Abuse Counseling and School Social Work. I've aided middle schoolers, adolescents and people in their 20's/30s to transition from angry and confused to calmer and empowered. My goal is to get real work done, but also have fun along the way.

Hello, my name is Ronak Makadia, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist with additional training in social work. As a second-generation, Asian American I quickly learned the stigma and shame attached to attending therapy, especially within the Asian American community. As a cis-gender woman of color, I value and will provide culturally competent services. I work with high-functioning adults and older adults to overcome any barriers they may be facing. I will always encourage you to create, learn, and consistently use healthy coping mechanisms. To avoid staying stuck, I collaborate with you in developing solutions.

As a therapist, I’ve worked with many kids, teens, & adults struggling with negative patterns, hard life transitions, and grief.
Do you feel misunderstood or that you can’t let anyone see who you really are? Maybe you can’t understand why your thoughts and feelings are always trying to take you hostage? Locking away who you are has made it difficult to connect with others and left you feeling alone. I love to give people the freedom to embrace and understand their emotions. As your guide, you will begin to drop the fear and exhaustion of trying to keep it all together so perfectly & embrace your own truth. You will begin to accept and love yourself just as you are!
