Therapist

My name is Wendy Green, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. I work with adults, supporting them through a wide range of challenges including anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and women’s issues.

I believe therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you feel heard and understood. My approach is flexible and guided by your unique needs. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. In practice, this means we’ll work together to explore your experiences, identify unhelpful patterns, and find practical strategies that support your growth and well-being.

Hi, I’m Anna, a Licensed Therapist in New York. If you’re feeling anxious, drained, or like you’re carrying a lot on your own, you don’t have to do it alone.

Therapy can be healing, communicative, and an avenue to self-discovery. It can be a way to access social skills, self-expression, and self-awareness.. Whatever the goal, utilizing the power of music as a vehicle towards these processes can be very effective. (Some of my goals and techniques are featured in a Psychology Today article on 2/18/21 "Increase Coping and Resilience by Writing a Song").
