Healthy Minds NYC | Vanessa Baumback
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
For a long time, you've handled it. You stay busy, you stay ahead, and it mostly works. Then something breaks through anyway — a panic attack out of nowhere, or a reaction that's way bigger than the thing that caused it. You can't think your way out of it, and working harder isn't helping.
That's usually a sign your system is still holding onto something it never got to process. It's not a willpower problem.
I specialize in EMDR, which is a well-researched approach to trauma that helps your brain actually process old experiences so they stop driving how you feel now. I work with successful, high-functioning people on anxiety, depression, and trauma — including the kind that doesn't look like trauma. The loss you moved past too quickly. The thing you've never said out loud.
I see clients remotely, throughout New York, and my office has options for in-person care as well. EMDR works well online, and for most of my clients the flexibility makes it easier to actually commit to the work.
I'm straightforward and I'm kind, and I won't let you talk circles around the thing you came in to deal with. You've been the strong one for a long time. You don't have to be that with me.
If you're ready to stop managing this and start working through it, let's talk and see if we're a good fit.

Cheerful Heart Mental Health Counseling PLLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D, LPC, LPCC, NCC
Cheerful Heart was created to offer the kind of care many women need but struggle to find, care that takes women’s pain seriously, especially Black women’s pain. 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 or spiritual understanding. This is a space where faith questions are welcome, anger toward God is met with compassion, and healing is supported by genuine loving kindness.
