Grief counselors and therapists in New York

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with years of nursing experience in the psychiatric field, ranging from adult inpatient care to a community mental health clinic. I earned my degree from Pace University and have since dedicated my career to providing compassionate, holistic, and patient-centered mental healthcare.

My practice focuses on treating a range of mental health conditions, including ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Panic Disorders, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorders, Bipolar and schizophrenia.

As a bilingual psychotherapist having worked with a wide range of demographics and populations over the years, i have learned providing a nonjudgemental and warm space is the foundation of effective therapy.

Hey - I'm Mike and as you can see from my photo I like to keep things on the more casual side with my clients. I weave fun, jokes, and genuine questions about your personal life into our care plan. If you're looking for a Psychiatric provider who is all business - I'm probably not the right fit. But if you're looking to work with someone who is down to earth, and willing to go the extra mile to be your true partner and confidant on this journey, I'd love to meet you. As a lifelong New Yorker, I understand the unique pressures, pace, and complexity of life here — and I use that insight to offer care that actually fits your world.

I’m a licensed mental health counselor who works with adults, couples, and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I’ve trained across schools, community mental health, and outpatient settings, and I bring a grounded, real-world perspective into the therapy space. My work is culturally responsive and shaped by a strong commitment to equity, identity, and whole-person care. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to grow.

As a licensed mental health counselor,I believe that prioritizing mental health and achieving balance in our lives is key to functioning at our highest level of personal success and happiness. It takes real courage to ask for help, to be vulnerable, so congratulations on taking this first step!

I have been practicing individual therapy with adults and adolescents for 20 years with a focus on anxiety, stress, depression, and family and relationship issues.

About Your Therapist:

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 5 years of experience providing psychotherapy to diverse populations. I bring a warm, engaging presence that helps clients feel comfortable opening up and being themselves.

In our work together, you can expect a range of emotion; from meaningful, reflective moments to lighter, more relaxed conversations - as we navigate your experiences at a pace that feels right for you. I support clients in addressing their concerns with greater clarity, confidence, and intention, while developing practical tools for lasting change.

My approach is thoughtfully direct and tailored to your individual needs. I create a space where you will be heard, understood, and gently challenged in ways that promote growth and self-awareness.

My style is down-to-earth, supportive, and at times lighthearted, because I believe healing can be both intentional and freeing. I am passionate about helping you reconnect with your strengths, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence and purpose.
