Dr. Christina Gerdes
Psychiatrist, MD
I am a Columbia University trained board-certified adult psychiatrist specializing in evidence-based psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and culturally responsive mental-health care with over 14 years of experience. I combine my medical expertise with a warm, collaborative therapeutic approach to help individuals navigate a range of life events including but not limited to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, life transitions, bipolar disorder, OCD, and substance use problems. I offer medication management and/or psychotherapy, allowing patients to receive integrative care within a single treatment setting.
I am skilled in psychopharmacology and a range of psychotherapies including supportive therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. To begin treatment, we start by first completing a comprehensive evaluation to understand your concerns. Afterwards, we work together to develop a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs.
I believe healing begins when people feel seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to provide evidence-based, compassionate, comprehensive care that honors each person’s individual experience. I look forward to talking to you and understanding how we could work together.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master
My online virtual behavioral health therapy practice offers accessible and convenient mental health services in a virtual setting. Through secure and confidential video conferencing, individuals can engage in therapy sessions from the comfort and privacy of their own homes. This practice provides a range of evidence-based therapeutic interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and other eclectic approaches that are tailored to address a wide spectrum of behavioral health concerns. My online practice fosters a supportive and empathetic environment, promoting healing, personal growth, and overall well-being. By utilizing technology to bridge the gap between clients and therapists, my online behavioral health therapy practice offers flexible solutions that accommodate busy schedules, geographic limitations, and most importantly a significant comfort level that can’t be found in a therapy office environment, ultimately enhancing access to quality behavioral health care.

Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
I provide therapy for gay men and hold licenses in New Jersey, New York, and Utah. Many gay men worry that a therapist might not fully understand their experiences or that they’ll have to hide parts of themselves in session. I once shared those same concerns, and they’re what inspired me to become a therapist who offers affirming, authentic care. Together, we’ll create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can find clarity, growth, and the confidence to live more fully.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, trained at Columbia University, with additional certification as a sex therapist through AASECT and advanced relationship training from The Couples Institute. Over the past two decades, I’ve supported gay men in a variety of settings—including the NYC LGBT Community Center and Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC).

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.

Michael Nakhla
Psychiatrist, MD
My practice is anchored in an individualized treatment approach for each of my patients. This includes psychotherapy, lifestyle interventions, and when indicated, medication management for the treatment of a broad range of issues or psychiatric illnesses. My approach varies depending on your needs, but incorporates elements of psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and interpersonal/solution-focused modalities. We will work together to further explore goals, challenges, your past history, and come up with a treatment plan that makes sense for you. Regardless of what that is, you can expect a collaborative path forward to address your most important concerns.
