Hello! I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My passion as a provider is caring for diverse populations, including children, LGBTQ+ individuals, preconception, peripartum, and postpartum women, and individuals from all ethnic backgrounds. I aim to make you feel as open and comfortable as possible and provide a non-judgmental environment where you feel heard. Together, we can create a treatment plan based on your goals and symptoms so you can return to living a life you love! I take careful consideration of your needs and desires regarding medications and try to find something that allows you to function adequately, has a manageable side effect profile, and targets your particular set of symptoms. Please note I do not prescribe daily benzodiazepines (clonazepam, alprazolam, Valium, etc.) or hypnotic sleep aids.

My name is Clarissa, and I work primarily with adolescents and young adults. I am a native Spanish speaker. Since I was young, I've always known that I wanted to help people, and providing therapy is something that has called to me for a long time. This led me to complete a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Spanish, as well as a Master's degree in Social Work. I strive to create a safe environment for my clients. This means holding a judgment-free space for my client to speak freely as they try to make sense of themselves and their world. My goal is to help you feel heard and guide you in becoming the best version of yourself.

You are the author of your own life. Sometimes, the story gets confusing. I'm here to partner with you in better understanding yourself, where you are, and where you want to be. For me, the therapeutic relationship is foundational for success, and ours will be built on safety, trust, and compassion. I take an integrative and client-centered approach to counseling, tailoring my methods to suit your unique needs and preferences. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions openly. While proficient in several modalities, I specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. I help my clients build resilience through self-compassion, develop coping skills, and ultimately foster healthier relationships with themselves and those around them. I hold a Master's of Science in Education (MSEd) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Bonaventure University and have worked with clients from all walks of life, ages, and diverse reasons for seeking counseling.

One of the strongest predictors of success in therapy is the connection you share with your therapist, so finding the best fit is an important first step! I believe in the "therapeutic relationship," developing a relationship of trust and respect. We will work together to find the approach that best fits you—your needs, goals, and unique situation. My focus is to provide a safe place to be heard, understood, and supported. No matter where you are on your journey, I will meet you there, and together we will maximize your potential and develop a greater appreciation for yourself and your ability to reach your goals. Long-term change is a process. You possess within you all the skills and tools necessary for change. I will assist you in discovering and learning how to utilize those tools in the most effective ways. I look forward to helping you find answers, direction, healing, and wellness. In therapy, many issues are openly discussed, but sex and sexual issues can be uncomfortable topics for many clients. Yet, many people have sexual issues that need to be resolved in order for life to be as fulfilling as it can be. I am particularly passionate about working with women who are struggling with intimacy of any kind and are dedicated to improving this area of their lives. I also enjoy working with couples to assist them in determining the underlying issues causing strife in their relationships, rebuilding after infidelity, or increasing their ability to understand one another in order to help them design a marriage they can confidently pursue for a lifetime.

Hi there! I am Madeline, and I am so glad you are here! I work with clients who are experiencing a wide range of mental health symptoms such as depression, anxiety, trauma, separation, grief and loss, times of transition, social isolation, substance use issues, anger management, and resilience building. You, the client, and your unique needs and lives guide my counseling approaches.I utilize a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach that considers how single-event trauma and daily chronic stress take a toll on your mind, body, and relationships. I use evidence-based, neuroscience-backed approaches to help you create a sense of renewed stability and resilience in your mind, physical body, and relationships.I see you and understand how difficult the first step of reaching out often is, but I hope you make that choice for a better path forward. I am ready to assist in any way I can. Let's chat soon.

We all need a safe space to express ourselves, to be seen, heard, and validated without judgment. I am passionate about helping people feel emotionally safe. People come to therapy for different reasons, but I believe they need to be seen, heard, and not judged for how they feel or think. I am dedicated to providing my clients the freedom to be themselves and guiding them in discovering who they aspire to be. I equip my clients with the necessary skills and empower them to choose and explore what works best for their personal lives and personalities to achieve their distinct goals. I have experience with adolescents and adults who struggle with PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I apply a mixture of person-centered, psychoeducation, CBT, DBT, strength-based, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy. My duty as a therapist is to help increase my clients' self-awareness, create healthier patterns, and gain healthy coping skills that they can utilize daily. I also use humor in sessions! As someone familiar with experiences of abuse, homelessness, depression, and anxiety, I believe that anyone's difficult past can help them discover a better version of themselves for a higher purpose. Things happen for a reason, and people have the power to choose how their life experiences shape their lives moving forward. It will be an honor to walk with you.
