Great to meet you!

Riley is a lifelong New Yorker whose passion for mental health care and counseling stems from childhood. Through his work, Riley is committed to make a meaningful impact on the lives of each client he works with. Riley works with individuals from adolescence through late adulthood to address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD and BDD. He specializes in working with individuals who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community to explore their identity and live more authentically as themselves.

My approach to therapy

Riley believes in a person-centered approach to guide clients in accessing their innate capacity for resilience and self-actualization. Due to his training in a wide range of techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Narrative Therapy, treatment is individually tailored to the needs of each client.

What you can expect from me

Riley's mission as a licensed mental health counselor is to create a safe and nonjudgemental space where each client can gain the skills they need to reach their life goals. Riley can assist clients with achieving their identified goals, including navigating life transitions, building emotional regulation skills, and improving communication with others.
