City Mental Health Counseling
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As a licensed therapist and passionate advocate for mental health equity, I founded CMHC with a clear mission: to create an affirming, inclusive, and culturally diverse space where LGBTQ+ individuals and people from all backgrounds can feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My journey into therapy was shaped by both personal experience and a professional calling—recognizing the deep need for compassionate, identity-affirming care in communities that have too often been marginalized or overlooked.

Embrace Psychotherapy, LCSW, PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My name is Elaine Hernandez-Cordova, but my friends all call me Elena! I am an Omnistic, bi-sexual, Latin-American psychotherapist, life coach and author. For the last 20 years, I have dedicated my life to practicing a holistic approach to lifestyle adjustments for myself, my family and the systems we all reside in. I like to consider all of humanity to be my family, and I try to reflect this in my work.
I was born in an impoverished part of Brooklyn, NY where I was adopted by a prominent lawyer and his wife who couldn’t bear children due to an early battle with cancer. This inspired my natural inclination to bond with people, both personally and professionally, and maintain meaningful connections. Seeing how imbalanced our society was, and eager to be the change I wanted to see in the world, I studied for a Master of Social Work from the School of Public Health at the University of Central Florida in 2003. I became increasingly interested in the mind-body connection, and so I became a yoga therapist in 2013 through the Long Island Yoga School.
I provide therapeutic services in relation to addiction and post-traumatic stress pro-bono at local hospitals and community centers. My personal experiences and professional expertise in mental health and substance use afford me powerful insight into the healing practices of the dually diagnosed. I am a proud social advocate, and regularly devote time to visit with veterans, inmates, consumers and the underserved. I encourage people to take time to write letters, make phone calls, sign petitions, send emails and donate to causes that matter to the unique values of the individual. Don’t be afraid of being a voice in the community of your choice. If you don’t stand for something then you will fall for anything!

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily stress, anxious thoughts, or reminders of your traumatic memories? Struggling with anger or relationship conflict? Feeling stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and unhealthy behaviors? Life's struggles can feel isolating but you don't have to face them alone. It would be a privilege and an honor to accompany you on your mental health journey.
I'm a licensed psychologist with over 18 years in the field. I have expertise in the treatment of PTSD, trauma, and stress and in the understanding of veteran and military culture. Other areas of specialty include anxiety, phobias, panic, depression, insomnia, and addiction. I work with teens and adults, as well as the spouses, partners and family members of those struggling. I also have extensive experience supporting veterans, first responders, and medical and mental health providers.
Whether you've been in therapy before or are ready to take the very first step towards healing and growth, I would love to hear from you.

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.

Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What makes my therapy practice stand out is my commitment to truly meeting each client where they are, with authenticity, compassion, and respect for their unique experiences. I take a neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based approach that focuses not on “fixing” clients, but on understanding and empowering them. I prioritize building a genuine, trusting relationship, creating a space where clients feel safe to be themselves without judgment. By blending evidence-based strategies with flexibility and warmth, I help clients develop practical tools while also fostering self-acceptance, confidence, and meaningful personal growth.

Christie Roe
Therapist, LMSW
I see therapy as an invitation to center yourself, follow your experience, and co-create the conditions for more clarity, choice, and connection, inside and out. My integrative and trauma-focused approach aims to address your stressors, symptoms, and struggles in context, with attention to root causes, unmet needs, and practical possibilities for healing and harmonization in mind, body, and relationships. If our values and motivations seem to align, I hope we get to work together!

Robert dos Santos Teixeira
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, SMF, MPIA, MA, MSW, LCSW
When you lose the little self, you find the bigger Self. You are the Light Who shines through the eyes: You are Ancient, Eternal, Infinite, One, and Unchanging Light. My job is to help you step out of the little self (the flesh-and-blood self), which is experiencing the pain of addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, etc., and into Who You really are. As a result, you will gain observer consciousness, which offers freedom, healing, transformation, and ultimately awakening.

Taylor Lee
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.
