Dr. John Gerson
Psychologist, New York and Connecticut Licensed Psychologist
Throughout the 50 years I have been helping clients improve their lives, the resilience of the human spirit continually amazes me. I see therapy as a collaboration: my job is to listen carefully to the issues worrying /frustrating you and your job is to present your concerns to me. Together we will develop a working relationship with the goal of helping you overcome your problems and fears. Every person who comes into my practice is treated as a unique individual entitled to a satisfying life. It is my pleasure to join you on that journey.

Marissa Cashman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Obstacles and difficulties often occur in life. Seeking guidance from a licensed professional can be a wonderful way of gaining coping skills and a different perspective. Feeling anxious and apprehensive when meeting with a therapist for the first time is understandable. However, once the process begins, that worry usually washes away. My goal is to use empathy, humor, and clinical skills to help you obtain insight, clarity, and courage becoming your most authentic self.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance), and the brain/body's ability to heal. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and mind/body tools to assist you in your healing. I am certified in both Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) as well as a certified +HeartMath practitioner. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic, and knowledgeable.

Sarah Nehdi, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Sometimes, we all need a little perspective. When you are overwhelmed with pain, sadness, and/or anxiety, it can feel impossible to move forward. Having someone in your corner who can help motivate and support you throughout the change process can make all the difference.
I know taking the first step to find a therapist isn't easy and I don't take that show of strength lightly! With my (attempted) sense of humor and respect for my clients, I hope to create a warm place for you to accept yourself for exactly who you are right now, and then find ways to change your life that makes it more reflective of your best self.
