My name is Angela, I’m a licensed psychotherapist in the state of New York. I received my MSW from New York University and work individually with teens, young adults and adults who may be struggling with loss/grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal and men’s issues. As someone who grew up in a predominantly male family, I especially recognize the importance of accessible mental health treatment for men.

Welcome to my page and congratulations on taking the first step to improved mental health. My name is Stephanie and I have been a social worker for the past 13 years. I have since had much experience working with adolescents and adults with both medical and mental health challenges. I have also worked closely with new moms on many of the challenges they face postpartum and working through those challenges together. My experiences in both inpatient and outpatient settings allow me to connect with clients at various stages to help overcome challenges.

Cherie Hannouche

Therapist

Virtual • Brooklyn, NY


I started my work with infants and young children, guided by a simple belief: when we understand the meaning behind behavior, everything in a family can begin to shift. I use play as a primary way to connect with children and understand their inner world. Through play, children express thoughts and feelings they may not yet have words for. By joining them in this space, I’m able to better understand their experiences and help them feel seen, supported, and safe.

My path to becoming a therapist began in children’s media, where I spent fifteen years project managing educational content. That experience shaped how I see children today—curious, expressive, and constantly communicating, even without words.

I went on to earn my Master’s degree from New York University, training at the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Center, where I deepened my understanding of how music and play can help children feel seen, regulated, and understood.

My clinical work has included early intervention, a specialized school for autistic children and young adults, and an elementary school supporting students with hearing loss and communication differences. Across these settings, I saw how powerful it is when a child is truly met where they are.

In 2023, I founded Sound Mind to create a more individualized, relationship-based practice—one where I can connect deeply and tailor my work to each child and family.
