Female Therapists in Little Italy, New York, NY

My goal is to provide you the support and attention you deserve, with a kind intention in our space. Through your shared stories, we will face your life challenges together, and acknowledge positive strengths you hold, as well as negative beliefs that may hold you back. Many of my clients seek support for anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, childhood trauma, ptsd, grief, identity crises, low self-esteem, and more. Together, we will address your needs and explore your past, your present, and set you up for a future you are comfortable and confident with.

My goal is to offer individuals a safe, non-judgmental space where they can speak freely about everything from daily challenges to the more nuanced, life-long issues. Therapy looks different for everyone, and I aim to provide a unique, personalized approach for each client. I acknowledge the importance of a trusting therapeutic relationship, and how meaningful it can be, over time, to truly connect with a therapist. Recognizing people are the experts of their own stories, I lead with compassion and understanding, with the intention of promoting self-agency and self-empowerment.

The vision for my practice is to provide a connective environment where clients can explore their strengths along with deeper understanding of their fears, doubts, and shame.

Therapy can be life-changing. Through openness and commitment to the therapeutic process, you can increase confidence in overcoming challenges, find purpose and fulfillment, and develop a better connection to yourself and others. I want to help you identify and understand thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that impact your experience with life and work to set realistic goals to attain.

In a world that demands so much of us, seeking therapy can be considered a radical act. My name is Madeleine, and I’m here to offer a space where you can feel supported through whatever is bringing you to therapy. In this space, you can share your genuine self without shame, and we can work to get you to a place of contentment and balance.

I am a NY, NJ, and CT licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist. I was born and raised in Ireland and received my BA in Psychology from University College Dublin. After coming to the US, I received both my MSW and Ph.D. from Columbia University School of Social Work. I am trained in CBT and DBT, both evidence-based approaches to the treatment of a range of mental health concerns. These therapeutic approaches provide flexible frameworks through which to view presenting issues and are practical and skill-based which allow for gains to be carried forward long after therapy has finished.

I take a collaborative approach with clients and their processes because I believe each person has an understanding of what works for them. I work with individuals, couples, families, friends and coworkers struggling with a variety of issues as well as anger and anxiety. Couples counseling: I can help you develop tools to create more understanding, and compassion for each other.

I believe we each have a core part of ourselves that is wise, confident, and desiring of secure connection with others. Single event or repeated traumatic experiences can distance us from this core part and we can find ourselves using coping mechanisms, such as excessive substance use and other self-harming behaviors, that no longer serve us or our relationships. Identifying the needs we are desperately trying to meet and exploring alternate ways to meet them can disrupt the cycle that keeps us feeling defeated and lead us towards more fulfilling relationships with ourselves and those we care about.

I (she/her/hers/ella) believe that therapy should be accessible, trauma-informed and should help people lead lives that interest and challenge them. My therapeutic approaches are rooted in social justice with an emphasis on exploration through learning and storytelling. I believe that everyone is an expert on their own lives and that clients are best supported when they are engaged in shaping their therapeutic experiences. I support clients who identify as Latinx, queer/trans/GNC and/or neurodivergent, have an intellectual disability, as well as young adults.

As a therapist I show up with compassion, curiosity, and without an agenda-you are the expert on your experience, and we will work together to build space for you to feel seen and find increased empowerment and ease in your life. I've worked with clients of all ages and have particular interest in working with people who may be struggling to express themselves, feel heard, age with dignity, manage caregiving responsibilities, or process grief or past trauma.

I believe therapy is a path to self-discovery and a resource that supports growth and well-being. As a therapist, I would like to be a resource for my clients by helping them develop new insights and tools to enhance their emotional regulation, encourage authentic self-expression, and nurture healthy relationships. I approach each client with the understanding that we are all unique, shaped by our life experiences. I am dedicated to offering my clients a welcoming and nonjudgmental setting—a secure space in which they can address the challenges that may hinder them from achieving the life they aspire to live.
