Great to meet you!

If you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, or the emotional weight of a chronic illness, you deserve a space where you're truly heard. I'm Mindy, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with over ten years of experience in behavioral health. I have a particular passion for women's health, substance misuse, stress management, and trauma, and I love supporting clients managing chronic pain or illness as they reconnect mind and body. Wherever you're starting from, I'm here to help you find steadier ground.

My approach to therapy

I use a holistic, trauma-informed approach, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing to help you build practical coping tools while honoring how your mind, body, and spirit shape your identity. Together we'll work at a pace that feels right for you.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, clients can expect a warm, genuine interest in what your concerns and goals for the future are. Clients are expected to provided only the information that they are comfortable sharing during the first session. Therapy is a process and rapport building is an important part of the therapeutic partnership.
