Senora Gathers

My name is Senora Gathers and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York who specializes in psychotherapy. I earned my masters degree in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness from NYU’s Steinhart School of Culture, Education, and Human Development and a Bachelors in Business Administration with a minor in Psychology from Lehman College. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families and groups from a range of ages, cultural, and social backgrounds. I help my diverse clientele tackle a variety of mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, anger management, self-esteem, grief and loss, relationships challenges, and many other life transition concerns.

As a therapist, I enjoy providing authentic, compassionate, challenging, and insightful support as we journey together through the variety of challenges many clients face. The therapy approaches I typically use with clients are client centered therapy, emotionally focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, although I am experienced in other modalities and adapt my approach to fit my client's needs. I understand that it is sometimes difficult to confront the mental and emotional challenges so many of us face but, with gentle, empathic support, the right tools, and dedication we can all experience a life that brings us satisfaction, genuine connection, and overall wellbeing.

In each session I help my clients begin to unravel the intricate web that creates their lives while helping them gradually understand how their experiences interconnect with the current symptoms and challenges they are facing. I believe that although we may not have had a choice in the experiences of our past, we all have the ability to determine our future, with patience, self compassion, and a little courage we can confront our biggest fears to help us see a brighter tomorrow.
