Josephine Narcisse
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, NCC
My name is Josephine Narcisse, M.A., LMHC I am a mental health professional striving to build a therapeutic connection that can be shared outside my therapeutic space. I received my Master of Arts in mental health counseling and wellness from New York University about two years ago. Before becoming a therapist, I worked for ten years in a residential setting, helping people who are diagnosed with mental and physical disabilities to enhance their quality of life. I have developed a passion for helping others and strengthening the significance of mental health. I look forward to hearing from you.

Alisa Lindenbaum
Art Therapist, MPS, ATR-BC, LCAT, LPAT
For over 16 years I have worked with adults, children, and teens, providing a compassionate, safe, and non- judgmental approach to address issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, loss and grief, life transitions, and more. I offer an integrative approach combing various therapeutic modalities with the creative arts which helps you connect to your fullest potential and find your voice. By combining expressive arts with talk, we can make progress towards your goals even when it feels difficult to find the right words. My younger clients usually make art more regularly, while my older clients often choose to do so more sporadically.
Trauma, both big and small, is an area that I'm incredibly passionate about, and brain research continues to grow supporting the benefits of the creative process which engages both mind and body to heal trauma. More than anything, I value the power of connection with my clients and believe that healing occurs within the context of trust and collaboration.
Therapy can sometimes be hard work, but my office (both physical and virtual) is a warm and supportive environment dedicated to self exploration, growth, and healing. I truly believe in the power of art psychotherapy and look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you and create the growth that you are seeking for yourself or your loved one.

Patricia Valencia
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I work with adults who want to change their lives and get to the root of what makes them think, feel, and react in ways that keep them stuck. They desire to lessen stress, reduce anxiety, and improve their relationships. We work together to understand and minimize their negative responses to triggers. We explore the events, thoughts, and feelings that led to painful relationships and low self-esteem. We work together to develop realistic individualized strategies to minimize unhealthy patterns that prevent joy and peace in their lives. We collaborate to implement realistic changes that improve their quality of life.
