While working with my clients, I focus on their strengths allowing them to embrace life beyond their diagnoses.

Life can be tough. We all face challenges that are unique. Sometimes we feel that nobody can understand us and we are alone. It is this feeling "the feeling of being understood" that is the center of the therapeutic experience. Feeling understood heals us, supports us, enlivens us. Jonathan has been working in social work for 27 years with people from all walks of life. All people want to have a place they can go to feel understood and feel less lonely, that someone cares. The most important skill to look for in a therapist is the skill of listening.

I am a therapist-in-training providing $25 therapy under the supervision of Jessenia until May 2025. I believe in the power of understanding one’s own experiences as a foundation for growth. I see my role not as a problem solver but as a facilitator of exploration and self-discovery. My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in the connection between physical and mental health, recognizing that both aspects are integral to overall well-being. Having navigated my own journey of understanding and working with children in the foster care system, I have learned the profound impact of early attachment experiences on present relationships.

Hi, my name is Batsheva, and I believe in the innate wisdom within each individual and aim to help you access what’s already yours. What I “actually do” can best be compared to a dance; one in which we harmonize with your distinct personality, narrative, and way of being in the world. I specialize in trauma therapy modalities, which at their core encompass not only the well-known PTSD but all forms of human suffering. Often, a pervasive pattern of thought or behavior, or difficult past events, can lead to a feeling of "stuckness" in the present. Reasoning or talking ourselves out of this stuck place can only help for so long

I am a therapist-in-training providing $25 therapy under the supervision of Jessenia until May 2025. I started my journey in the field of medicine working as a medical assistant in both pediatric and geriatric settings. I later transitioned to working in a cancer institute for Northwell after a few years. My time spent working at the cancer institute really helped shape my drive to provide mental health to those around me.

Throughout my career treating those with substance abuse and mental health issues, I have learned that one of therapy's most healing aspects is the relationship and trust we build with one another. I strive to create a space where you can be your authentic self without judgment because when that is possible the work of healing can begin.
