Racial Identity Therapists in Jackson Heights, NY

I work with clients of all ages whose therapy goals may include improving general mental health, forming healthy attachments and relationships, or minimizing the effects of anxiety and trauma. When it comes to therapy, one size fits one. Some people benefit from a sustained dive into their past, their relationships, or their place in society. Others are more interested in finding solutions to personal problems in the present. For many clients, using music in the therapeutic process allows them to fast-track and optimize the emotional work they need to do before they can make meaningful changes in their lives.

I offer individual psychotherapy for adults with a focus on trauma healing and treatment. I also support people who are experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship issues, and other stressors. I practice through a social justice lens. I believe that our experiences can only be understood within the political and social contexts in which we live. As part of our therapy, we will explore how social systems and structural oppression have impacted your beliefs about yourself, your relationships, and the world around you.

If you suffer from feelings of inadequacy, loneliness or identity issues, there could be a deeper root. Depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, the pressure to meet others' expectations while neglecting your own needs, all could stem from past trauma. Complex trauma, familial or systemic, can cause internalized guilt, shame and self-abandonment. This can look like feeling resentful, reactive, avoidant, hopeless or shut down. However, you are not doomed to stay stuck there. Healing is possible, and can pave the way for a life freer from negative thoughts, with more peace, self-acceptance, authenticity and improved relationships.

An atmosphere of safety, genuine empathy and respect are vital for your counseling experience to lead to life change and optimal mental wellness.
