Manhattan, New York therapist: Resilience Therapy Group, therapist
MI

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.

Scarsdale, New York therapist: Michael Nakhla, psychiatrist
MI

Michael Nakhla

Psychiatrist, MD
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and psychotherapist. I serve in leadership and teaching roles at NYU, where I teach the next generation of psychiatrists and work at the intersection of college mental health and academic medicine. My practice focuses on high-achieving professionals and students navigating mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, perfectionism, and identity development. I created my private practice space, The Light Room, to be decidedly different from traditional psychiatric practices — care that's evidence-based yet deeply human, personalized, accessible, and responsive. I specialize in integrating psychotherapy with medication management to offer a truly comprehensive treatment approach.

Michael Berry

Psychologist, PhD
My ideal client is looking for practical support overcoming problems with binge-eating, insomnia, anxiety, depression, or distress caused by a medical condition. As your psychologist, my first goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where you can feel comfortable openly sharing your struggles. Together, we’ll identify your goals, figure out what’s getting in the way of change, and develop practical steps to move forward. I regularly measure progress to ensure therapy is focused and effective, helping you feel better while gaining insight and skills to maintain your progress long after therapy ends.

Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP, Ed.M., M.A.
I create a collaborative and nonjudgmental space for clients who are ready to make meaningful changes and live more authentically. I specialize in working with people who have spent much of their lives people-pleasing or prioritizing others, and who are now ready to reconnect with their own needs, values, and voices. As an Asian American woman, I bring lived experience and cultural humility into my work, and am deeply committed to creating a safe, affirming space for people of color and members of marginalized communities.

Jamilet Calderon

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D
With over 14 years of clinical experience, I specialize in helping women and first-generation/Latina professionals break cycles of codependency, quiet perfectionism, and reclaim their identity. Many of my clients appear to have it all together on the outside, but internally face overwhelming cultural expectations, anxiety, and a loud inner critic. Together, we will work to restructure that inner critic, establish fierce boundaries, and foster a radical sense of self-love.

New York City, New York therapist: Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh, counselor/therapist
MI

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh

Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I’m a therapist with over 10 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life challenges across many different settings and stages of life. I bring a warm, kind, and grounded approach to my work, and I use humor when it helps create ease and connection in the room. I believe therapy should feel both safe and effective. My priority is building a strong, trusting relationship where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking about what’s really going on beneath the surface. I also value collaboration, and I welcome feedback from clients so we can shape the work together in a way that feels most helpful for you. Together, we can explore the deeper history and past experiences you may still be carrying- especially the ones that continue to impact your stress, mood, relationships, and sense of self today. At the same time, I bring structure to our work so sessions feel focused, intentional, and productive, making sure your time is used in a meaningful and thoughtful way. My goal is for you to feel more understood, supported, and connected to yourself as you move toward real and lasting change.

Online in Harlem, NY (Online Only)
Harlem is the historic capital of Black American culture, a Manhattan neighborhood whose churches, music, and institutions shaped a century of American life, now navigating intense gentrification alongside enduring community strength. Mental health needs include racial stress and historical trauma, economic displacement pressure, and a legacy of historically rooted caution toward medical institutions — met by strong community organizations and a growing cohort of Black therapists in the city. Harlem Hospital, community health networks, and NYC's broad market provide care.
