Carol Cumberbatch

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. I am dedicated to helping clients achieve and maintain realistic goals. My mission is to provide you with the support and tools needed to transform your plans into meaningful actions that can significantly change your life. Drawing from my clinical training at Nyack College and years of professional experience, I use a holistic approach that integrates several modalities, including harm reduction, trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy, evidence-based practices, crisis intervention, and structural family therapy. My practice is grounded in meeting you where you are, empowering you to take an active role in your self-development and guiding you toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

My therapeutic approach is a holistic and person-centered partnership focused on turning your vision for a better life into a concrete, manageable reality. By integrating a wide array of evidence-based practices—including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing—I will tailor our work to your specific needs and personal history. Whether we are navigating an immediate crisis, addressing family dynamics through structural therapy, or utilizing harm reduction strategies, my focus remains on meeting you exactly where you are without judgment. Drawing from my clinical background, I provide a sturdy framework of support designed to empower you to take an active role in your self-development, transforming your personal goals into lasting, meaningful action.

In our first session, you can expect a warm and non-judgmental environment where the priority is meeting you exactly where you are. We will take a holistic look at your current life and history through a trauma-informed and person-centered lens to ensure you feel safe and understood. Together, we will begin clarifying your motivations and translating your concerns into realistic, manageable goals. By the end of our hour, we will have the foundation of a collaborative plan—incorporating evidence-based strategies tailored to your needs—to help you take the first meaningful steps toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
