I have clinical emphasis working with individuals who are experiencing symptoms of: Depression, Anxiety, C-PTSD, Substance Use Disorders, Postpartum/Perinatal Mood and Anxiety disorders, and Adjustment Disorders due to acute or chronic health conditions.
I believe that therapy is a space for us to tackle life’s difficulties as well as celebrate life, find joy, and build self-compassion. I provide empathic, nonjudgmental psychotherapy, focused on deepening a sense of self-awareness, gaining insight into your emotional experiences, and empowering you to live a more fulfilling life. My therapeutic approach is rooted in relational and attachment-based theories. I frequently use humanistic, and behavioral interventions tailored to meet the needs of the individual or couple I am working with. I strive to create authentic and collaborative relationships with everyone I work with.

Therapy is a safe space for you to be radically honest, understand your past and grow in the present. The ultimate goal of any therapy is for you to be more free and move past whatever might be preventing you from being your authentic self, and from having the life and relationships you want. I've supported a diverse client group struggling with various issues like anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking, attachment and relationship issues, grief and loss, creativity block struggles, postpartum, and substance use issues. Life presents us all with painful challenges, but with proper support, we can all learn to cope, and also thrive.

I commonly work with clients seeking help on things such as panic disorder, ADHD, depression, OCD, grief, trauma/PTSD, and substance use.
Initiating change in life is hard, but therapy can help you make movement in areas where you have felt stuck. I believe the work we do in therapy is not only about feeling better or gaining insight, but also about feeling whole. While the process can be difficult, it can also be rewarding. I enjoy doing this work with my clients and appreciate being a part of their process. I recognize how difficult it can be to find the right therapist and I’m happy to speak to you by phone for a free consultation. Don't hesitate to email me with any questions.

I primarily work with adult and teenage individuals & specialize in anxiety, ADHD, depression, substance use, trauma, self-esteem, and relationship & adjustment issues.
I believe that healing starts with a strong therapeutic relationship and focus on establishing an accepting, warm environment filled with trust and free of judgement. This foundational relationship and your courage and willingness allow for deep exploration into your inner world. As a client, you will take an active role in the therapeutic process and together, we'll awaken the autopilot that many of us default to and move towards living life more intentionally and authentically. Through compassionate and curious exploration, we will bring awareness to patterns that may be interfering with your life.

I work with people navigating the complexities of neurodiversity, chronic illness, and/or disability. In a world with narrow expectations for how our brains and bodies should function, it’s easy to feel overlooked or misunderstood when you don’t fit these molds. For example, ADHD can make it tough to stay organized and regulate emotions, impacting everything from relationships to self-esteem. Autoimmune disorders can bring about ongoing stress, burnout, and unpredictable symptoms, disrupting our daily routines. These struggles can understandably become tangled up with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and substance use.

In addition to my work as a general practitioner, I specialize in the treatment of substance use issues utilizing harm reduction psychotherapy.
I understand the decision to seek help can be a daunting one as there are many kinds of treatments for different kinds of issues.

We will work towards developing coping skills that offer relief from anxiety, depression and other difficult emotions. I will also assist you to understand and work through patterns that contribute to difficulties.

My primary goal in the therapeutic partnership is to guide the client in identifying and following their inner wisdom, thereby developing a stronger sense of self throughout the process. I work best with clients who are motivated to do the work and who are experiencing symptoms related to substance use, anxiety, depression, attachment-related issues, relationship issues, life transitions, and low self esteem.

Utilizing social justice and trauma-informed approaches, I help people of all ages in English and Spanish working through complex diagnoses, substance use, different forms of violence, forced migration, family systems, abuse, as well as exploring sexuality, non-monogamy, gender, kink, and BDSM.
Hi, my name’s Nicholas (he/they), and I’m a Latinx, Middle Eastern, Jewish, and queer psychotherapist in NYC. My multicultural upbringing, experiences with immigration, and growing up in a low-income household have not only inspired me to help people who are marginalized because of how they identify, but also those who experience systematic violence. Through diverse lived and clinical experiences, I'm able to help you discover your inner thoughts surrounding identities, relationships, and social issues that affect how you show up in the world.

I have clinical experience working with patients struggling with substance use disorder, depression, anxiety, trauma, and other existential dilemmas which may be difficult to name.
Sometimes life has us so overwhelmed that words evade us. We can be drenched in emotion, or we can be numb to it all. Our struggles manifest uniquely according to the biological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual elements in our lives. We might feel lost and alone, but it is important to remember that we are not. I wish to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you, in which we can explore together. We may attempt to connect words with feelings, or we may let silence hold its power; the conscious and the unconscious are both invited. Through our relationship we may discover new pathways of resilience.
