Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I work from a collaborative perspective with teen and adult clients over online therapy. My approach is integrative, drawing from relational, family systems, behavioral, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed modalities to help clients better understand themselves, shift longstanding patterns, and build more fulfilling lives. I value a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy, honesty, and mutual engagement. I especially enjoy working with clients who are motivated for growth—those who are ready to do the work of developing insight, building emotional resilience, and making meaningful shifts in their lives. Generally weekly appointments are recommended, though some clients benefit from more frequent meetings.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Experienced culturally-informed individual/couples therapist, supervisor and training analyst. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck — in relationships that don't work, careers that feel hollow, or patterns they can't seem to escape no matter how hard they try. As a Licensed Psychoanalyst with over 15 years of experience, I offer a different kind of therapy: one that goes beneath the surface to understand the unconscious forces that shape your choices and experiences.
Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with what life throws your way, and why certain patterns keep repeating — and what you can do to change them. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to live more consciously and deliberately.
