Narrative
Colette Pauta
Counselor/Therapist
If you're looking for someone who will truly listen and help you feel heard and seen, my goal is to offer a space where you don't have to filter or perform. I take a warm, relational, and collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you where you're at with curiosity and care. I believe that humor has a place in healing, and when used thoughtfully, it can make difficult conversations feel less intimidating and more human. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in understanding how your experiences, relationships, and environment shape the challenging you're facing. Together, we'll explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that feel relevant to your everyday life. Therapy with me is not about having all the answers, it's about creating space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. Whether you're thinking about therapy for the first time, or have been in the counseling space before, I welcome the opportunity to get to know who you are at your core.

Narrative
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.

Narrative
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).

Narrative
Resilience Therapy Group
Therapist, LCSW, LMHC, LMSW, MHC-LP, PMH-C
You're the one who holds a lot together, at work, at home, for the people who count on you. Underneath that, something has been asking for attention: the anxiety that won't quiet down, the patterns that keep repeating, the grief or the history you've never had room to feel. At Resilience Therapy, a group psychotherapy practice with offices in Manhattan and Port Washington and online therapy across New York, New Jersey, Florida, and several other states, you don't have to sort it out alone. Our clinicians bring real range, from anxiety, trauma, and OCD to addiction, relationships, depression, and life transitions, so the care you get actually fits the life you're living.
Because we're a team rather than a single therapist, we can match you with the clinician who truly fits what you're navigating, whether that's an evidence-based approach like CBT or EMDR, family and couples work, or a warm, depth-oriented space to understand yourself more honestly. Our therapists work with individuals, couples, families, teens, and adults, and some also offer sessions in additional languages such as Russian, French, and Spanish. Reaching out is often the hardest part, so let's take that first step together and find the right person for you.
