We’re a group of diverse NYC therapists whose aim is to provide comprehensive, holistic care designed for you in order to help you both accomplish your goals, and make meaningful, long term change. At Anchor Counseling, it’s our goal to provide a compassionate and stigma-free environment for individuals and couples to seek psychotherapy and a safe place to grow.

College can be a meaningful and exciting chapter, but it can also bring intense pressure, uncertainty, identity questions, family stress, relationship challenges, burnout, anxiety, and executive functioning struggles. My practice offers a warm, collaborative space where students can slow down, feel understood, and develop practical tools for navigating both emotional distress and daily life demands. At Karuna Psychotherapy & Consulting , therapy is trauma-responsive, compassion-focused, and neuroscience-informed, with an emphasis on mind–body integration, relational attunement, and authentic human connection. At Karuna, we support deep healing, wholeness, and personal growth through compassionate, relational, mind–body psychology. I work from a non-shaming, culturally aware , LGBTQ+ affirming, and neurodiversity-affirming perspective. Together, we may explore patterns of stress, self-criticism, avoidance, perfectionism, overwhelm, attachment wounds, or disconnection from the body. My approach integrates evidence-informed psychotherapy, mindfulness, self-compassion, nervous system regulation, parts work, and insight-oriented reflection. My goal is to help students feel safer within themselves, better able to understand their emotions, and more empowered to move toward relationships, values, and choices that support their well-being.

At Holistic Psychotherapy NYC, we believe therapy should be a collaborative, meaningful, and deeply human experience. Our diverse team of therapists provides compassionate, evidence-informed care grounded in relational, psychodynamic, attachment-based, and holistic approaches. We work with college students, young adults, professionals, and individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, life transitions, and academic or career stress. We understand that seeking support can feel vulnerable, especially during times of change. Whether you're adjusting to campus life, managing family expectations, coping with burnout, exploring aspects of your identity, or working through past experiences that continue to affect your present, our therapists strive to create a space where you feel understood, respected, and empowered. Our practice values authenticity, cultural humility, and inclusivity. We welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, first-generation students, immigrants, and those navigating complex family, cultural, or societal dynamics. We offer both in-person sessions in Midtown Manhattan near Grand Central and telehealth appointments throughout New York. We are in-network with Aetna and Cigna and offer a generous honor-system sliding scale for students and those with other insurance plans. We also provide complimentary consultation calls to help students find the therapist who feels like the right fit. Our goal is not simply symptom reduction, but helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your relationships, and build a life that feels more connected, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.

For 30+ years, I've helped adults recover from complex trauma, developmental and attachment trauma, narcissistic and psychopathic abuse, addictive disorders, emotional neglect and chronic relationship difficulties. My clients are insightful, motivated individuals struggling with codependency, dissociation, or the lasting effects of childhood trauma. Through trauma-informed psychodynamic therapy we identify and transform the survival patterns that once protected you but now limit your life. Healing fosters regulation and safety, allowing the parts of yourself exiled by fear, neglect, betrayal, and chronic adaptation to be reclaimed. I integrate psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed therapy with attachment theory, somatic awareness, neuroscience, mindfulness, and spiritual exploration. My goal is not simply symptom relief, but helping you create a cohesive, authentic life aligned with your deepest values and fullest potential. Therapy is a collaborative process grounded in curiosity, compassion and respect. Together we excavate the deeper origins of your emotional suffering while developing practical tools for nervous system regulation, healthier relationships, and lasting change. Even when trauma has shaped your life new patterns of safety, connection, and vitality can emerge.

Hello! I'm so glad you're here. Finding support is often a difficult first step in any healing journey. Congratulations on making it this far! As a woman of color, I have used my lived experience and therapeutic expertise to support my clients with navigating challenging relationships with romantic partners, family, and/or friends. We often work together to build healthy self-care practices as well as healthy boundaries across life domains (relationships, family, career).

I use a creative and relational approach to find the appropriate fusion of therapeutic interventions to support your needs and work through identified challenges. I have significant interest and expertise in relationship work (specifically healthy/unhealthy relationship practices that can be applied to romantic, platonic, or familial relationships). Whether you're new to therapy or continuing a lifelong journey, it's essential to find a therapist who is a good fit.

I am looking for people who are looking for change (some change takes 2).

Navigating life's challenges can be difficult and overwhelming. If you are struggling with anxiety/stress, depression, self esteem, dating/relationships or life transitions, together, we will explore healthy, attainable changes to improve the quality of your life and relationships. I aim to help you to gain insight, self-acceptance, and learn new strategies to help you to live an empowered life. Therapy can be short-term and focused on immediate, practical solutions or long-term and focused on going deeper. When personal exploration is encouraged and supported, we decide who we are and how we want to live our lives.

We get so many messages in our lives about what is expected and how we "should" be living; social media, friends, and culture can all provide an idea of what we should be reaching for, which can often feel confusing and frustrating. If we grow up with dysfunction and trauma, it can seem even more confusing. We struggle with these expectations and somehow still feel we are coming up short. It can become an exhausting pursuit! It gets harder and harder to listen to our own voice, and what our needs are. I am drawn to helping people who have dealt with trauma and feel persistent isolation and sadness in their daily lives. Together, we can try to look at things a different way, and navigate a different path. Let's explore together, like astronauts! By gaining perspective, we can find opportunities for strength and agency in our everyday lives. By connecting to new support, we can make our own space to think about things we didn't know were possible. My goal is to create a safe space for exploration and support you on this path. Making the first step can be intimidating, but we can also go to new places. Contact me to setup a free consultation call to figure out how we can move forward together.

I believe that each person wants to find fulfillment in life, and that through the therapeutic relationship, we can work together to achieve this goal. In today's world, there are so many pressures and obstacles that people face on a daily basis. I work to help people identify the factors that affect their lives, assist them in gaining insight into the causes of their problems, and develop real-life solutions to address problematic issues. I use techniques from various types of therapy to achieve this. I work to help people identify their strengths in order to increase resiliency and autonomy and develop growing self-respect. I specialize in treating couples, college students and young professionals, and individuals with borderline personality disorder. I have extensive training in emotionally-focused couples therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy, and I draw from these approaches to best treat each unique person and couple. Perhaps more than any other part of therapy or specific technique, I believe that my empathy, genuine care, and desire to help people are my greatest assets. I devote myself completely to my work and to the people I treat, and strive to make treatment as effective and meaningful as possible, with the continuous goal of creating progress in people's lives.
