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.

Dr. David Amarel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
After decades of providing psychotherapy and assessment in offices, I’ve moved recently (2019) into a different space: video. Active listening in a safe, private setting is foundational to this work. I’ve learned that the catalytic elements of good therapy can thrive via video too. Save yourself a trip away from work or home!

Angie Yemma
Therapist, LCAT, BCDMT
You look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside you're exhausted from overthinking, self-doubt, and the pressure to always be "doing enough." Whether you're a teen navigating academic stress, a young adult facing a life transition, or someone struggling with anxiety and perfectionism, therapy can help.
I specialize in working with perfectionist teens and young adults who are tired of feeling like they're never enough. Together, we'll build confidence, manage overwhelming emotions, quiet your inner critic, and create a life that feels more balanced and authentic. My approach combines traditional talk therapy with creative, body-based techniques to help you gain insight, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful change.
Online therapy offers a convenient and comfortable way to get support from wherever you are in New York State.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I offer online therapy for people who are thoughtful, sensitive, and self-aware, but still find themselves stuck in the same painful patterns—especially in relationships, identity, and life direction. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in mindfulness and somatic awareness. Together, we slow down, get curious, and work with your direct experience so that insight turns into change and relief.

Ren Lee
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We live within various systems and institutions that impact how we navigate our lives in relation to each other. My work is grounded in community care, growth, liberation, joy, resilience, healing, and justice. I am here to support you in exploring connections to yourself, your communities, and the world around you. My approach is rooted in liberation, relational, and psychodynamic work through an anti-oppressive lens, and includes modalities such as somatics, narrative therapy, and mindfulness. I am passionate about working with intersectional identities of race, gender, sexuality, and neurodivergence and I find it incredibly fulfilling to continuously build relationships through empathy, curiosity, and compassion.

Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
You might find yourself reacting in ways you later regret, getting pulled into the same relationship dynamics, or feeling overwhelmed by emotions that seem to take over. Our sessions focus on helping you understand the functions of emotions or behavioral patterns that are hard to change, and supporting you in feeling equipped to experiment with new ways of being.
In sessions, I don’t just sit back and listen. I’m engaged, thoughtful, honest, and precise in my work - I value understanding your internal experience as accurately as possible and tailoring treatment to closely match your needs. I’ll help you slow things down, name what’s happening in real time, and connect it to larger patterns—while also building concrete skills to help you respond differently. My work is grounded in DBT and relational therapy, so we’re balancing insight with practical change.
I have particular expertise in emotion dysregulation and complex relationship patterns, including when things feel intense, confusing, or hard to control. I also work with people whose struggles are less obvious, but still leave them feeling stuck or dissatisfied. I offer telehealth sessions in California and New York.

Many people find that meeting from a familiar environment helps them feel more at ease and open during sessions. The therapeutic process remains just as meaningful and effective as in-person work, while offering greater convenience and consistency.

Staci Des Rault
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. M.Div
Insight alone does not create change, but without it, we're just bumping around in the dark. If you choose to work with me, we will work on both developing insight and self-awareness, as well as behavioral and emotional change. My style is warm and supportive, but I won't shy away from offering constructive feedback if you are open to it. My areas of expertise include helping people recover from alcohol/substance use issues, trauma, family of origin issues, spiritual abuse and religious trauma/deconstruction, grief, anxiety, relationship issues, ADHD management, and stages of life transitions.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Therapy with me is active, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices—we are doing real work together, not just talking about your week. Each session is intentional and engaging, focused on creating meaningful insight and change you can feel in your daily life.
I see myself as a warm, intuitive, and deeply attentive therapist who believes that meaningful change happens when people feel truly safe, accepted, and understood. My goal is to offer a nonjudgmental space where you can exhale—where you don’t have to have the right words, the right story, or the right reason to be there. Therapy with me is about feeling heard, finding clarity where things have felt confusing or stuck, and reconnecting with yourself in a way that feels real and sustainable.
I am deeply passionate about relationships, emotional honesty, self-acceptance, and the quiet, often unseen struggles people carry. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why they’re unhappy when, on the surface, life looks “fine.” I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, co-dependency, shame, guilt, and the lasting impact of past experiences or trauma. I also help people talk about things that are hard to name—topics that may feel embarrassing, stigmatized, or kept private for a long time.
I especially enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves and open to growth, even if they feel nervous or unsure at first. You don’t need to be “creative” or insightful to start—just willing to show up. Together, we gently explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns, and look for more flexible, compassionate ways of relating to yourself and the people you care about. Therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time; there can be space for curiosity, reflection, and even moments of lightness along the way.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies, offered with warmth and humanity. While we honor your past, our work focuses on what’s happening now—and on helping you feel more present, more grounded, and more aligned with your values. I strive to help clients move through life with greater awareness, emotional balance, and self-trust, while reducing the anxiety, sadness, or self-criticism that may be getting in the way.
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional difficulties, and mindfulness-based approaches, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills. In simple terms, this means we work together to notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors—and gently shift what’s no longer serving you. These approaches are practical, supportive, and designed to help you feel better, not just understand why you feel the way you do.
At its heart, therapy with me is about building a genuine, supportive relationship—one that helps you feel more like yourself, more connected to others, and more confident in how you move through your life.

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.
