My passion is partnering with individuals to help them thrive in mind, body and spirit within their families and communities. I can work with you to find the best plan of care to achieve your mental health goals. I have extensive experience in women’s health, working as a birth doula, registered nurse, lactation consultant, and now as an ANCC board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I specialize in perinatal psychiatry including psychotherapy and medication management during pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum, lactation, and beyond. My holistic approach to care is both person-centered and existential. I provide medication and psychotherapy to guide you on your journey of self-exploration, therapeutic discovery, and healing. The ultimate goal is to help you live your best life.

I'm Joe. I'm a kind, compassionate therapist who works well with folks who are curious about who they are and what kind of life they want to build. With this spirit of curiosity we can explore what has gotten in your way and where you want to go: how your past coping methods served you then, but not now; how we can improve your ability to communicate with yourself and others; how to feel more centered and clear on your desires and goals. I have special experience and ability to support folks in the queer, trans and broader LGBTQ+ communities. I also support relationship systems (including both monogamous couples and open/poly systems) with navigating their challenges in work, love, and play. Throughout all my work, I practice from an anti-oppression and anti-racism mindset. If anything above sparked your interest, and you think I might be able to help, let's find a time to connect.

The clients with whom I work tend to seek a better understanding of their coping mechanisms, relationship patterns, and self-limiting beliefs. I often work with college and graduate students that struggle with negative beliefs related to their capabilities and worthiness. I help clients to explore how past experiences have contributed to developing coping mechanisms, such as persistent worry, perfectionistic tendencies, and hypervigilance in social situations, that may have been helpful in the past but are no longer serving them in the present.

Collaborative therapy providing a tailored approach that builds on one’s own strengths and uses evidence-based practices and tools to aid in healthy expression, growth, and change. My goal is to make therapy as approachable and fun as possible. I’m direct and empathetic in my approach and believe our relationship is important to help you create change and reach your goals. Using evidence-based treatments, we will learn ways to manage current stressors and create hope for the future. Together, we will develop new ways for you to overcome stressful events and feel empowered to face life’s obstacles.

Often, we can get stuck in our daily grind of rise, rinse, repeat, daydreaming about what could be different, and yet feel paralyzed by uncertainty. “Feel the fear and do it anyway” might fall flat because how does one get to the point where they can identify what they are feeling is fear and trust in themselves and others to hold space for them along that journey? In my therapeutic practice, I offer a compassionate, culturally sensitive, and judgment-free space informed by humor, creativity, and collaboration. My goal is to support those who may be experiencing concerns including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and burnout. With a special focus on trauma-informed care and disordered eating, I provide a secure and comfortable environment where clients can explore and heal from past and present challenges. By blending person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic techniques, we will craft a personalized strategy to address what is holding you back from reaching your authentic self.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship struggles, you’re not broken — you’re human. Therapy can help you connect to your sense of self and walk through life with greater clarity, courage, and confidence. I’m Jess and I’m so glad you found your way here. I draw from various therapeutic approaches including EMDR and IFS to help you navigate difficult emotions, cultivate presence, and take meaningful steps toward building the life you truly want. Our work will focus on rewiring unhelpful patterns, identifying more compassionate perspectives, and lightening the burdens that have been weighing you down. Through warmth, curiosity, and humor, I offer a space where all parts of you are seen, heard, and welcome. My hope is that our work together will empower you to develop a more loving, expansive relationship with yourself — and to create a life that feels aligned with the truth of who you are. Feel free to reach out by phone or email for a free consultation—I’m so looking forward to meeting you! <script src="https://thrivingcampus.com/verified.js?pid=24201"></script>

I take a person-centered approach to therapy. You, the client, are totally in charge of where this journey takes us. I believe that the core of successful therapy is in the bond between client and therapist. As such, I always meet my clients where they are at and work to build a strong relationship through genuine and honest conversations. I am skilled in CBT/DBT, and I hold a certification in Clinical Trauma Treatment (CCTP). Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with adolescents and young adults to build introspection, curiosity, and compassion in order to address their concerns with anxiety, depression, and trauma. Listen, life can get really messy, so let's dig in together. Because you are worthy of growth and change and happiness.

There are 6 therapists including myself in the practice. We are all different in our approaches and areas of expertise. Our fees are flexible, as are our hours. We are offering in-person sessions. All of us have worked with students since the start of our careers. In fact women roughly ages 18-25 is our favorite population to work with. We believe the fit between client and therapist is the most important aspect of therapy. You feeling listened to, not judged and that we are focused on helping you is our goal.

Life is full of constant change that we are learning how to navigate every day. Often, adjusting to these changes can bring up a range of emotions including anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone has the potential and ability to adapt to these ever-changing challenges in constructive ways that allow them to expand their lives. Our therapeutic relationship would be a source of kindness, calmness, and empowerment in your life. My hope is that therapy can be a safe space for you to share and clarify your values and motivations. By exploring your current habits and patterns, we can bring awareness to what is working well for you and transform the less effective methods into constructive actions that help bring you closer to feeling your best. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel a little intimidating, especially if it’s your first time. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you might have or to schedule a free consultation before starting therapy together. I am currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling and am training as an Advanced Clinical Trainee at Mindful Mental Health Counseling & Wellness, located in midtown Manhattan. I’m available to work together both in-person and remotely. Supervising Therapist: Tricia Schwartz, LMHC, Mindful Mental Health Counseling.
