Everyone deserves a meaningful life, though growth often requires intention and support. I’m David Coen, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and challenges related to self-worth or direction. While I support clients across many backgrounds and professions, I have particular appreciation for those in creative fields—such as writers, designers, and visual artists—who may experience heightened sensitivity, self-criticism, or pressure tied to performance and originality.
In life's greatest challenge lies the greatest potential for helping others. My trajectory as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) changed after navigating the challenging path to parenthood. This includes completing EMDR training and doula training; and I'm enrolled in PSI's perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C) training to be completed later this year. My passion is supporting people from conception through postpartum and beyond.
In learning about one’s personal strengths I utilize that information to assist in the healing process exploring what you would like to see different in your life and explore options in our journey together. I assist individuals to find new ways to cope, function and learn to let go of behaviors that are no longer serving their best interests.
I believe in everyone’s inner strength and ability to self-actualize and achieve their goals given the appropriate tools and support. Therapy is a tool that can help you start your journey in achieving the life you desire. I have 7 years of clinical experience as a social worker. I graduated from Columbia University with a master’s degree in social work and have worked in various settings including hospitals, schools, and universities.
With my background in Elementary Education and School Counseling, in addition to my License in Mental Health Counseling, I have worked with children, adolescents, families, and adults experiencing behavioral and mental health challenges in various stages of life, particularly as a result of anxiety, depression, and traumatic events.
I’m Kaymara Gayle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works primarily with adults (18+) navigating grief, anxiety, relationship issues, and depression. My approach is supportive and collaborative—I don’t just listen, I partner with you. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and challenges that may be holding you back and work toward insight, healing, and growth.
I’m an insightful and compassionate therapist who believes in meeting clients where they are. Whether you're overwhelmed by loss, stuck in unhealthy relationship dynamics, or battling anxious or low moods, I will help you make sense of what you're feeling and why. I value honesty, care deeply about my clients’ progress, and bring a thoughtful, strategic mindset to our work.
You don’t have to face things alone. If you're ready to understand yourself more deeply and move toward change, I’m here to guide and support you each step of the way.
