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.

Cheerful Heart Mental Health Counseling PLLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D, LPC, LPCC, NCC
Cheerful Heart offers specialized therapy and groups created to offer the kind of care many women need but struggle to find; care that takes women’s pain seriously and honors their beliefs. The practice was founded by Shakira K. O’Garro, LMHC-D, whose lived experience with severe stage IV endometriosis, adenomyosis, and medical trauma informs every layer of this work. Like many clients, she navigated years of dismissal within medical systems and discovered how deeply those experiences can impact mental health and faith.
Cheerful Heart exists so women no longer have to choose between clinical excellence and cultural and spiritual understanding. This is a space where faith questions are welcome, anger toward God is met with compassion, and healing is supported by understanding and genuine loving-kindness.
