Erikka Cole
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
Finding the right therapist is hard. We want to make it a little easier.
At Creative Resilience, we're a small group of therapists who genuinely care about the people we work with. We offer virtual therapy for teens and adults across New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Florida, and we take real care in matching each person to the right fit, because that's where the work actually begins.
Whether you're carrying something heavy, feeling stuck in the same patterns, or just sensing that something needs to change, you deserve support that meets you where you are, not where you "should" be. Our sessions are unhurried, nonjudgmental, and grounded in approaches that actually work.
We're currently accepting new clients. Reach out and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.

Yuanfei Zhang
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I became a therapist because I know what it means to be between worlds.
As someone who has navigated different cultures, languages, and identities, I understand the particular kind of loneliness that comes when your inner life doesn't quite have words yet — or when the words you have don't translate. That experience lives at the heart of everything I do.
I work primarily with women and individuals in the perinatal space — pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, and loss — as well as college students and immigrants standing at crossroads moments in their lives. These are the seasons when we most need someone who can hold complexity without rushing to fix it.
My training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) gives me a framework, but honestly, what guides me most is curiosity. I want to know what your life actually feels like from the inside — what you carry, what you've adapted to, what you've quietly set aside. I want to know how your culture shaped the way you love, grieve, and ask for help. And I want to sit with you in all of it, without judgment, without a predetermined destination.
Clients tell me our sessions feel like finally exhaling. My hope is that over time, that feeling stops being something you only find in a therapy room — and starts becoming something you carry with you.

Allison Falzone
Therapist, LMSW
Life can look perfectly fine on paper and still feel overwhelming. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable adults who are used to being the ones others rely on, yet privately struggle with anxiety, OCD, self-doubt, or relationship challenges. My approach is warm, practical, and focused on helping clients understand the patterns keeping them stuck so they can feel more confident, grounded, and equipped to navigate life's challenges.
