Cherie Hannouche

Cherie Hannouche

Therapist

Virtual • Brooklyn, NY


I started my work with infants and young children, guided by a simple belief: when we understand the meaning behind behavior, everything in a family can begin to shift. I use play as a primary way to connect with children and understand their inner world. Through play, children express thoughts and feelings they may not yet have words for. By joining them in this space, I’m able to better understand their experiences and help them feel seen, supported, and safe.

My path to becoming a therapist began in children’s media, where I spent fifteen years project managing educational content. That experience shaped how I see children today—curious, expressive, and constantly communicating, even without words.

I went on to earn my Master’s degree from New York University, training at the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Center, where I deepened my understanding of how music and play can help children feel seen, regulated, and understood.

My clinical work has included early intervention, a specialized school for autistic children and young adults, and an elementary school supporting students with hearing loss and communication differences. Across these settings, I saw how powerful it is when a child is truly met where they are.

In 2023, I founded Sound Mind to create a more individualized, relationship-based practice—one where I can connect deeply and tailor my work to each child and family.

Hi, I’m Pasqual D’Onofrio, a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience helping adults move through anxiety, burnout, and relationship distress.

My approach blends practical tools with reflective, emotionally attuned therapy. Whether you are navigating stress, uncertainty, or painful communication patterns, our work creates space to understand what is happening beneath the surface, and how to shift it.

If you are ready to begin from where you are, I’d be honored to support you.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Stony Brook

Finding the right therapist in Stony Brook starts with identifying what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or trauma — and look for a licensed provider with experience in those areas. Common license types include LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, and psychologist. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before your first session.

Stony Brook and the surrounding Suffolk County area have a range of mental health providers, from individual therapists to those offering couples and family sessions. Whether you prefer in-person appointments near campus or in town, or virtual sessions from home, many providers offer both options. A free phone consultation — available with many providers on Headway — can help you feel confident about your choice before committing.

Therapy in the Stony Brook area can be expensive without coverage, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session 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 fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
