I believe that we all carry the weight of our experiences, which shape how we move through the world. It is my genuine intention to understand my client's unique perspectives and welcome them to bring all parts of themselves into our work together. With connection, compassion and curiosity, I offer a welcoming space where I center you as the expert of your own experience.

I partner with my clients to attend to difficult areas in life, while reflecting on their resilience. By centering your experiences and truths, I bring warmth and openness to our relationship. It is my hope that my clients achieve a better understanding of themselves and move towards fulfillment and healing.

I have specialized training and expertise in working through experiences of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues and life transitions.

I am a licensed psychotherapist working with adults, individuals, and couples, offering a warm, collaborative, and client-centered approach. My work is grounded in relational, psychodynamic, and existential perspectives and integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-informed care. Together, we explore how emotions, attachment experiences, and relationships shape your inner world while building practical tools for change.

I specialize in relationship dynamics, anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, loneliness, grief, and emotional regulation. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling disconnected; from others, from themselves, or from a sense of meaning in their lives.

I strive to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and challenged with compassion. Together, we focus less on finding perfect solutions and more on developing the capacity to navigate life’s complexities while fostering greater connection, self-understanding, and belonging.

Hi! My name is Siah, I am a transfem LCSW who uses they/them pronouns. I have experience working with folks from a multitude of backgrounds since 2015. I have worked with concerns related to trauma, grief/bereavement, anxiety and depression. I live in Brooklyn and have a fluffy cat named Marcy.

I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is essential-the fit between us must work- I use a psychodynamic approach; helping clients learn more about themselves to understand what gets in the way of leading a meaningful life in their intimate, family relationships and in their career.

I have been practicing for over 30 years. I teach and supervise in an advanced training program for licensed mental health practitioners that I also help run.

My journey of self-discovery has led me here and now. As most people do, we have hopes, dreams, and plans for our lives and aim for fulfillment. We do not always anticipate some of the obstacles that suddenly require a helping hand, a steppingstone, or a bridge. If you are currently experiencing any such challenge in your life, please reach out for help and support. I can provide counseling for individuals and the entire family. If you or your family is being impacted by addiction, relationship challenges, daily life stressors and disruptions and mental health concerns including depression and anxiety, your time might be now to receive some help.

I am skillful in helping families target the core issues that they are working through, whether driven by addiction or underlying mental health or dynamic factors. I employ strength based, cognitive behavioral techniques and a range of other modalities to achieve outlined goals. My role would be to listen, support, guide and to be transparent at all times.

Fear often holds us back from making a change or accepting help. Facing my fears has carved this amazing opportunity for me to help you. My years in the field has deepened my compassion for helping others of different cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. I am inspired by those I helped on their journey and would love to do the same for you.

Sometimes life can be so beautiful, and sometimes it can seem daunting, scary, and overwhelming. I am here to walk on one’s journey with him/her/them to help make sense of this crazy and complicated thing we call life. I believe that no problem is too big when one views the person behind the suffering. I have found myself drawn to cases that are often avoided and cast out within the system, those that others struggle to help and find an answer for.
