My name is Heather Thompson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I came into this field after being helped and inspired by an LCSW in my own therapy as a teenager.
I use a warm, nonjudgemental approach with other evidenced based practices. I also find it helpful to build on the strengths you already have.

Hi, I'm Nora.
Do you feel stuck in patterns that don’t make sense or find yourself reliving old family dynamics in your relationships? If you grew up in a home where emotions felt unpredictable or your needs were often overlooked, those early experiences may still affect you today. You might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. You deserve a space where your experiences are understood and your feelings make sense.
Therapy can help you feel heard, understood, and more grounded in your life. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we might be a good fit.
I am a somatic oriented Licensed Psychoanalyst, and Certified Gestalt Psychotherapist based in NYC. I am warm, empowering and challenging when called for.
I like to utilize different therapies such as psychodynamic, CBT, ACT, person centered, and mindfulness to help clients achieve their goals. I have experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety and OCD, adjustment disorders, sexual and domestic abuse, anger management and mood disorders, personality disorders, and family/relationship issues. I also consider myself to be a culturally competent therapist, and have experience working with the Hispanic/Latino Community.
I have worked in the field of psychology for over 25 years and hold two Master’s degrees as well as a PhD in Neuropsychology.

I also work with individuals who are navigating major life stressors such as divorce, career transitions, and other significant changes. In addition, I help clients address concerns related to anger management, chronic stress, and the psychological impact of health issues.

Hi! I am a clinical and holistic based therapist focusing on Trauma and Nervous System care for women and children. You don’t have to keep carrying the weight of trauma, stress, or emotional overwhelm on your own. Healing is possible when you feel truly seen, supported, and equipped with the right tools. With over 15 years of clinical and intuitive experience, I help you reconnect with your strengths, restore balance, and move toward greater health, resilience, and wholeness in mind, body, and spirit.
Whether you're coming to therapy individually, as a couple, or as a family, my goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel understood, challenged in healthy ways, and empowered to move toward lasting growth.
I work with children, parents, and couples, helping families navigate life's challenges, strengthen relationships, and develop healthier patterns of communication and connection. Whether your child is experiencing emotional or behavioral difficulties, you're facing parenting challenges, or you're seeking to improve your relationship with your partner, I approach therapy with compassion, curiosity, and respect for your unique experiences
EMPATHIC CARE that adapts to your FEELINGS...Built around your needs and lived experience. Using evidence-based medicine and clinical judgment. If you don't see a time that works for you on my schedule, please send me a message and I'll do my best to accommodate your availability.
When ur mind won’t stop and ur body won’t settle: healing is possible!
Are u struggling with anxiety, trauma or intrusive thoughts?
I work with clients who feel trapped in cycles of fear, worry, panic, intrusive and obsessive thinking, somatic symptoms, emotional overwhelm and phobias, feel like themself again.
My approach is warm, empathic, intuitive and holistic, healing on mind, body and soul level.
I believe anxiety is often the mind and body’s way of trying to protect us, especially when past experiences, trauma or chronic stress have left the nervous system feeling unsafe. Together we gently explore the underlying roots of your symptoms with subconscious processes, as we update neural and nervous system networks, while building practical tools to help u feel more grounded.
My work integrates evidence based practices, like EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, some somatic (as I’m somatic informed), and deeper emotional insight.
Every session is custom tailored to you individually, meeting u exactly where u are. Clients describe me as deeply attuned and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where healing unfolds and lasting change happens. Let’s embark on your healing journey!
