Hola me llamo Fanny, I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am passionate about helping people. Change is important and so is healing . I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment. When experiences are dismissed, it can lead to self-doubt, shame, or emotional overwhelm. Together, we make sense of those experiences with compassion and context. I offer a supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. I especially work with high-functioning individuals managing anxiety, overthinking, or emotional heaviness, helping you reconnect, feel grounded, and move forward
Let me share some information about myself. I am a graduate from Brooklyn College for my BA degree and I attended NYU for my masters degree in social work. I have worked in different setting over the years and really enjoy working with all different age groups. I enjoy families, couples and individuals. I enjoy seeing the progress my clients make once they start to see their own patterns and what they feel they should change.
"Clients start to heal the moment they feel heard".
I believe therapy should be both a safe place to land and a space that inspires meaningful change. As an art and talk therapist, I offer a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, emotions, and patterns with honesty and curiosity.
I integrate creative expression with traditional psychotherapy, recognizing that sometimes words alone are not enough. Through art-making, reflection, and conversation, I help clients deepen their self-understanding, process difficult experiences, and connect with strengths they may not yet fully recognize.
I read and subscribe to the idea that instead of a patient needing a clinician to offer treatment, a client seeks the assistance of a counselor as more of a confidential teammate for improving a bio-psycho-social aspect of her/his life.
I have worked in the behavioral health field since 1997 and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2015, making a mid-life career change to help those struggling with a variety of issues--anxiety, depression, self-esteem, substance and other addictions, recovery, grief and loss, family, relationship, life transitions and adjustment difficulties--anything negatively impacting one's daily functioning, happiness, quality of life.

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.
