Jazmin Melendez
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMSW
I believe every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and respected for who they are and the experiences that have shaped them. As someone who identifies as queer and is part of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the importance of having spaces where you can show up as your full self without judgment or the need to explain who you are. I value culturally responsive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and identity-affirming care, and recognize that culture, family, identity, and lived experience are important parts of each person’s story. I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, honesty, and humanity, while honoring both the challenges you’re carrying and the strengths that have helped you navigate them. I also believe there should be room for humor and genuine connection in therapy. My hope is that our work helps you feel more understood, connected to yourself, and empowered to move forward in a way that feels authentic to you.
I work with children, teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, relationships, identity, stress, neurodivergence, and life transitions. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what’s happening, feel understood, and work together toward greater clarity, confidence, and meaningful change.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Some things are hard to say out loud. Maybe you've never quite found the words, or the right person to say them to. Maybe you've been carrying questions about your body, your desire, your relationship, or who you are, quietly and for a long time.
You don't have to do that here.
I'm Paula Kirsch, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, and I work with women navigating sexual health concerns, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, and people in ENM and kink-engaged relationships. Not as a specialty I added on, but as the heart of my practice. I understand your world, your language, and the particular weight of the things you may have never said to anyone.
Whatever you bring into this space, I'm not going to flinch, rush you, or hand you a formula. We'll sit with it together and figure out where to go from there. That's the work, and I genuinely love doing it. Book your Free Consultation on my website.

Daniel Pagano
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP, SCC
Asking for help and finding safety with support is not easy, and I honor the courage it takes to begin. I offer a deeply caring and engaged relationship where you can expect a warm, non-judgmental place to freely express yourself, making the process of psychotherapy feel less intimidating. Our work together is a sacred, collaborative journey into the depths of your psyche, compassionately exploring unconscious patterns and shadow aspects to align you with your authentic Self and foster true spiritual wholeness.

Maricia Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am a New York based LCSW with a passion and a vigor for helping others on their mental health journey. My therapy approach comes from a place of compassion where one of my main goals is making sure my client feel as supported, heard and empowered as possible. Therapy is not a one size fits all and the approach used with each client individually should reflect this. I help each client articulate their thoughts and feelings in order to get a better understanding of what is causing their depression/anxiety/stress/unhappiness. I approach therapy from an integrative perspective, taking interest in the clients cultural background and experiences and tailoring a therapeutic modality that is the best fit for them.
Just like therapy, healing is also not a one size fits all and I understand that making the first steps into therapy, and towards that healing, may have been a difficult decision and I applaud your courage for making that first step. With your desire for change and my commitment to support and empower you, we will navigate a pace that works best for you to strengthen all aspects of your body and mind and the connection they have to each other.
