Hi, I’m Peter, and I’m really glad you’re here! I believe therapy should feel safe, supportive, and human — not intimidating or clinical. I have training in Mental Health Counseling and experience supporting people with trauma, anxiety, depression,ADHD, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I work at a pace that feels right for you, and my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and never judged — just supported as you work toward feeling better.
Hi, I’m Kaliym Howell, PMHNP. I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with experience in inpatient psychiatry and outpatient medication management. I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma-related conditions, and life transitions using a calm, collaborative, and evidence-based approach. My goal is to provide thoughtful, personalized care that helps you gain clarity, stability, and long-term wellness.
Welcome and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. As a licensed therapist practicing in both California and New York, I believe deeply in the inherent resilience and transformative potential within every individual. I earned my Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University. Throughout my clinical practice, I have supported clients across all life stages in navigating complex emotional challenges, including trauma, anxiety, and depression, while empowering them to cultivate healthy, fulfilling interpersonal relationships.
Hi, I’m Nikki — owner of Dragonfly Haven Wellness LCSW PLLC. I’m looking forward to starting our work together.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University, earned in 2003. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, adults, and families through life’s challenges in both outpatient and school-based mental health settings.
I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My approach is warm and collaborative, while also helping to point out connections to support your growth. I draw from a blend of psychodynamic therapy, relational approaches, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and Encompass co-occurring treatment to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change.
I’ve recently competed a certified integrative mental health provider course to focus more on body-based approaches alongside traditional talk therapy to support healing as a whole-person process.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Medford
Finding the right therapist in Medford, NY starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a life transition, it helps to look for a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with your specific needs. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach and style before you reach out.
Medford is centrally located in Suffolk County, which means you may have access to providers across a wide stretch of Long Island. If commuting is a barrier, many therapists now offer virtual sessions, giving you more flexibility to find someone who fits your schedule. Practical details like session format, availability, and location can make a real difference in sticking with care long-term.
Therapy on Long Island can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs and your coverage.
