Veterans Therapists in Long Island City, NY

Work, family, romantic relationships and friendships can be sources of deep fulfillment and joy, as well as conflict, doubt and anxiety. I'm interested in helping people explore their interpersonal patterns, thoughts and emotions in order to find real solutions to the problems that prevent them from feeling confident, happy and excited for life. In my practice, I aim to create a space where you are listened to deeply, free from judgment and closed-mindedness so you can openly express yourself without inhibition.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a bilingual clinical psychologist with extensive experience in supporting clients navigate various issues related to anxiety, life transitions, relationships, and cultural identity. My approach in therapy is to establish a trusting, non-judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic relationship to bring about healing, personal growth, and new possibilities through a culturally-informed framework. I value authenticity and flexibility and therefore, I tailor my sessions uniquely to each individual in order to most effectively support the client in meeting their needs and goals.

Do you find yourself constantly worrying about what others think of you? Your heart races, your palms sweat, and your mind goes blank in social situations. You're afraid of being judged, and it feels like you're trapped in a cycle of anxiety and self-doubt.

Or maybe you're experiencing panic attacks that seem to come out of nowhere, making you feel like you're losing control. You might even find yourself feeling down, lacking motivation, and struggling to find joy in your day-to-day life. You're not alone!

Do you want to feel seen, heard, and understood by someone? I am here to help. I am ready to listen to your deep stories that you couldn't share with anyone and to better understand you with compassion, curiosity, and an open mind. As an immigrant with diverse educational, religious, and family backgrounds growing up in multiple countries, I understand how difficult it can be to navigate various cultures, institutions, and systems.

Are you on the verge of divorce or suffering from the aftermath of infidelity or high levels of constant conflict and disconnection? Are you no longer willing to tolerate never-ending arguments or days of silence? Perhaps you are ready to save your marriage or maybe you have doubts about staying together, but a part of you is not ready to leave. Couples Counseling or Couples Intensive may be the best emergency intervention, if you are not feeling happy, if you want to repair and rebuild trust and connection, move from anger and hurt, work through resentment, heal past experiences and get unstuck from a toxic relationship cycle.

My specialty is in helping clients with anxiety, depression, PTSD, relational issues, loss of purpose, and integrating non-ordinary states of consciousness (i.e., psychedelic experiences). I use psychodynamic therapy with an existential-humanistic approach and invite my clients to see their life’s ongoing journey as an endless source of wisdom. Compassion and acceptance are key to my approach to helping with various challenges.

Hi there! My name is Destiny and I’m so glad you’re here. I know that life can sometimes feel like a never-ending dumpster fire. And I’ve lived enough life to know that sometimes, life feels really difficult. Have you felt riddled by anxiety or depression? Do you feel like you need help navigating through tough times, some life transitions or need some accountability to help get yourself back on track? Whether you’re trying to piece yourself together after a loss or just trying to keep your head above water to handle tough times, I’m here for you and I get it.

I am offering support for clients who struggle with anxiety, professional stress, immigrant mental health, women's issues, and depression. If you are a person who is interested in exploring how their identity impacts their life, then therapy with me might be helpful. I utilize a trauma informed lens in all aspects of my work and I also aim to support other BIPOC individuals in navigating their mental health. Interest in or a willingness to try art therapy and holistic/somatic interventions is a plus.

Finding our truth and being kind and gentle to ourselves can be one of the scariest journeys we can embark on. If you have ever wondered why you can’t seem to make sense of your own feelings, you are not alone. We all go through seasons of challenges and navigating life changes can be confusing and emotional. My mission is to help people overcome their struggles with stress and self-esteem to live full, abundant lives. I am passionate about helping my clients discover how to develop self-love, a sense of balance and clarity, and a healthy, satisfying life.

Twila Are you falling apart? Or did you try to put yourself back together and have left over pieces? Either way may make you feel vulnerable . It can be uncomfortable, unsettling, and anxiety-provoking. I’m more of a holistic counselor which means I am not quick to assume you need medicine. That might mean we talk about food, sleep, spirituality, mindfulness, music, and moving your body.

Have you ever felt alone in a crowded room? Have you lost interest in things you enjoyed doing in the past? Do the smallest tasks seem like the hardest thing to do? You have tried everything but nothing seems to work, at least not for very long. Dealing with sadness, anxiety or stress can be very difficult. It can be scary to reach out to a therapist because you want to make sure that you find someone who can really connect with you and understand what you are going through.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression and struggling to understand their roots, or finding it challenging to navigate your relationships and communicate your needs effectively, you've taken an important step by seeking support here. I'm dedicated to helping you find relief, feel truly seen, ground yourself, and embark on a journey toward understanding your innermost self and intentions. In my therapeutic approach, I offer genuine warmth and openness, grounded in a sincere quest for truth.

Do you hold yourself to extremely high standards, then feel frustrated or shameful when you can't quite reach the mark you set? Do you give and give to others, feeling depleted at the end of each day with barely anything left to give to yourself? These cycles can feel isolating, but you're not alone in struggling with patterns of perfectionism and people-pleasing. You can overcome your anxiety and lead a life with a level of balance that allows you to both be in satisfying connection with others, while maintaining the capacity to work towards your personal goals.

You want to live more freely, more wholly, more in touch with who you really are. You want to find your way to wholeness and freedom. You may be looking to share and explore things that have never felt safe to open up before. You may have tried and benefited from other kinds of therapy, and are interested now in treatment that is focused on real, embodied experience now, in the present, rather than endlessly re-telling the same stories. You may have realized how the past has affected you, and you would rather define yourself than being bound by it. You are ready above all to reclaim your own innate goodness, wholeness, and strength.
