Welcome! I’m Roberta Giorgi, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve emotional wellness through personalized, current evidence-based mental health care.

With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a unique and deeply rooted perspective to patient care—combining clinical excellence with firsthand experience across hospital systems, addiction recovery, and community-based mental health. As a PMHNP-BC and past Advanced Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (Adv-CASAC), I specialize in helping clients overcome emotional and behavioral challenges.

My background includes currently delivering direct inpatient psychiatric care in hospital settings, managing acute mental health crises, and coordinating care for individuals with complex psychiatric and medical needs. I’ve worked extensively with: all Substance Use Disorders (Alcohol, Heroin, Benzodiazepines, Cocaine/Crack Cocaine, Ecstasy, Mushrooms, Methamphetamines, Cannabis/K2, Nicotine/Vape, etc.) and provide Medication-Assisted Treatment: Naltrexone, Suboxone, Sublocade, etc.

I specialize in tailoring psychotropic medications to treat psychological disorders including Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder, ADHD, Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Anger Management, Impulse Control Disorder, Eating Disorders, Sleep Disorder/Insomnia, Grief Therapy, Work/Stress Balance Support and Intergenerational Acculturation Trauma and tailoring Behavioral Interventions for children, teens, LGBTQ+, adults, couples and families.

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.

Welcome! I am a open-minded, caring, and energetic therapist with a background in treating a variety of mental health concerns. I have had my private practice for about 10 years. Prior to private practice, I was working in the substance abuse field and treated occurring disorders for 10 years. I love working with clients to identify and understand their strengths and how to use them to build a quality life with continued growth.

I have expertise in PTSD/trauma, disordered eating, and anxiety. Getting help is a brave step, but you don't have to do it alone! My practice is welcoming and inclusive no matter who you are. I work with my clients at their own pace to create a safe space to reach meaningful, lasting change. My style is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental. Whether you’re looking to work on self-esteem, heal body image, or recover from trauma, we'll work together to find the best approach for you.

I began my psychiatric nursing career after graduating from Columbia University School of Nursing in 2009. Several years later, I pursued an advanced practice degree, also at Columbia University, and earned a PhD. I lived in Poland and France before I arrived to the United States at the turn of this century. Given my international experience, I work in three languages: English, French, and Polish. I offer therapy and medication management and the clients and me decide on the best approach.

As a therapist rooted in Buddhist principles, my approach respects the innate wisdom each individual possesses. I believe clients are their own best experts in healing, and my role is to support them in uncovering their truths and navigating their journeys toward healing and self-discovery.

I hold a Master's in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University, which has enriched my understanding and practice of therapeutic techniques. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Within this sanctuary, we work collaboratively to shift perspectives, fostering greater happiness and joy.

Ultimately, my deepest aspiration as a therapist is to facilitate a healing environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued.

Hi there! My name is Stephen and I transitioned to counseling because I love working with people from all walks of life. I come from a career in education and like to empower clients with tools they can use on a daily basis. I'm a naturally curious person so I'll be sure to ask a lot of questions during our sessions too.

My therapeutic approach focuses on my belief that when it comes to an individual’s life, they are the expert. However, managing that alone can be cumbersome and stressful. As a therapist, I’m interested in collaborating with you to discover what parts of your life you hope to keep or perhaps enrich and what factors you want to change. I look to combine my experience with my clinical knowledge to aid clients in their journey to becoming their best selves.

I'm a therapist trained in Psychoanalysis and Creative Arts Therapies with twenty years years of experience.

I have experience working with depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship issues, sexual difficulties, trauma, loss, end of life issues, and coping with medical illness. My practice is diverse in terms of culture, race, and sexual orientation. I offer online telehealth in NY and CT. Please reach out with any further questions or to make an appointment.
