My name is Melissa Cary and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of NY. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, stress management and enhancing self esteem. I focus on adolescents and adults who have a desire to participate in therapy.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience working in the medical field. I worked with different groups of individuals and supported clients with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree in education, and I’ve been practicing for 12 years. My experience spans a wide range of communities and needs, including individuals with developmental disabilities, people navigating substance use challenges, and clients from culturally diverse backgrounds.
My clinical foundation is rooted in behavior modification and cognitive behavioral therapy, and I use these approaches to help clients understand patterns, build new skills, and create meaningful change.
I like to begin by learning about each client’s hopes, dreams, and vision for their life. I believe that real transformation starts with discovering a sense of happiness and alignment within yourself—once that inner foundation is in place, everything else begins to come together.
I am passionate about creating a warm, safe, and inclusive atmosphere for all persons. I empower individuals to feel seen and freely express themselves throughout our work together. In my clinical work, I collaborate with clients to identify their personal goals and strengths, deepen insight, and navigate various life experiences. With all clients, I aim to cultivate acceptance and self-compassion. My hope is for all clients, including those who have endured trauma, to feel safe in their body and supported in their experience. I am patient, humble, and continuously inspired by the opportunity to sit with others on their journey. My specialties include supporting children, adolescents and adults with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, personality disorders, eating disorders, ADHD, OCD, gender and identity concerns, and relationship stressors.
As a License Clinical Social Worker, I am dedicated to helping adults navigate emotional issues, life challenges, anxiety and more. I bring compassionate client-centered approach, to provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable to share their story and be heard in an effort to help them build resilience and allow them to take the risk to invest in their ability to grow and make changes that lead to a more positive sense of self.
My name is Gillian Foster and I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with dual certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC). I take a holistic approach to care, addressing both mental and physical health needs. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns using evidence-based, individualized treatment plans. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and nonjudgmental, with a focus on helping clients feel heard, balanced, and in control of their well-being.
I believe that one of the bravest and most meaningful steps a person can take is beginning to understand their own story. My approach to therapy is holistic, recognizing the interconnected nature of emotional, mental, and personal well-being.
I am committed to meeting you where you are, working collaboratively at a pace that feels comfortable and appropriate for you. Together, we can explore and address the challenges that may be impacting your growth and well-being.
