Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Forest Hills, NY covered by United Healthcare

Many people come to therapy because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they don't fully understand. My approach goes beyond addressing symptoms—I support clients understand the root beneath their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll explore the experiences, beliefs, relationships, and life events that have shaped the way you see yourself and the world.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and have been in practice for over 10 years. I became a therapist because I know firsthand how helpful it can be to have a dedicated time and space to focus on our emotional well-being. Talking to an unbiased party can help us feel supported, heard, and see things from a new perspective. Most importantly, therapy offers a space to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors without judgment.

I recognize how challenging it can be to find the time and energy to start therapy and to sort through profiles to find the right fit. There are many providers, especially in New York, so it can feel a little daunting! What I will say is that no matter your background and no matter your concerns, I will be invested in you and your goals.

Some of my areas of interest include perinatal and postpartum mental health (I am a parent myself!), LGBTQ+ mental health, relationships (romantic or otherwise), transitions including career/school, anxiety, and depression.

As a clinical social worker, I believe in the connections between our environment and our relationships with ourselves and others. I have over a decade of experience working in the arts and non-profits, and believe in the inherent creative potential of all people.

Do you have dreams of a happier and healthier lifestyle? Do you know what you want in life but feel stuck due to past traumatic experiences, stress, anxiety, or self esteem issues?

I work with young women on life issues that have become too heavy to manage on their own.

We'll use therapy to identify past experiences that has impacted your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You'll replace those negative narratives that leave you feeling stuck with a positive and motivating outlook and work towards a plan that is attainable and unique to your personal goals.

Sis you deserve healing! You matter!

Wellness is only sessions away...

Hi there! I'm Michelle, a licensed therapist dedicated to helping individuals achieve emotional well-being. With a background as a Mental Health Counselor from Touro College, I specialize in providing personalized therapy services for children to young adults.

I chose to become a therapist because I am amazed at the healing process through human connection. As complex beings, I am left in awe at the strength and resilience each individual possesses. I believe that despite difficulties faced, we have the power to rewrite our own story and live to fullest most authentic selves.

Our work together will not only aid you in overcoming any difficulties you may be facing but help understand patterns to develop tools that can be used in everyday life.

I aim to provide a healing space through compassion, support and acceptance. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, however, I often utilize tools from different modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and inner child healing.

I hope to have the opportunity to hear from you and help you achieve your greater self.

My main goal when working with clients is to create a safe space to express themselves. I specialize in working with people who have PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression. I also use a DBT approach with many clients. I work primarily within the LGBTQ population and I am also trained in Gottman Couples Therapy.
