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.

Dr. Lois Horowitz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW
I offer a warm, affirming space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment or pressure to be anything else.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, shame, and the lingering effects of early emotional wounds.

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.

Sally Roesch
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Some people struggle with impulsivity. Others struggle with too much control. Overthinking every decision, following rigid internal rules, and feeling like they have to perform a certain way in social situations. If you relate to the latter, therapy with me might be a good fit. You might be highly competent in many areas of life but find that when it comes to emotions and relationships, things feel frustratingly more complicated.
I also work with people navigating narcissistic personality dynamics. Whether you’ve been labeled "a narcissist" yourself or have spent years struggling in a relationship with someone who fits the description, we can sort through reality, break unhelpful patterns, and find a path to healthier relationships without losing yourself.
I am experienced in working with those who may be struggling with relationship issues, Narcissistic tendencies, mood disorders, impulse behavior, and anxiety. I help clients improve communication, assertiveness, and self-worth. My goal is to help you clarify desires, address obstacles, and achieve your goals. I am committed to providing direct, effective support; no tiptoeing around.
I am intensively trained in Radically-Open DBT (RO-DBT), a specialized treatment for Chronic Depression, Anorexia-Nervosa, and disorders of Over-Control (OC). Radically-Open DBT promotes openness, flexibility, and direct communication as well as other practical, evidence-based therapies. You’ll get clear feedback, collaboration, and usable skills - not endless past analysis or forced positivity. My goal is to identify the patterns that keep you stuck, learn new ways of approaching emotions and relationships, and move toward something different without losing who you are.

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.

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.
