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.

Colette Pauta
Counselor/Therapist
If you're looking for someone who will truly listen and help you feel heard and seen, my goal is to offer a space where you don't have to filter or perform. I take a warm, relational, and collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you where you're at with curiosity and care. I believe that humor has a place in healing, and when used thoughtfully, it can make difficult conversations feel less intimidating and more human. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in understanding how your experiences, relationships, and environment shape the challenging you're facing. Together, we'll explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that feel relevant to your everyday life. Therapy with me is not about having all the answers, it's about creating space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. Whether you're thinking about therapy for the first time, or have been in the counseling space before, I welcome the opportunity to get to know who you are at your core.

Resouling Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I (Mike) help clients put words to their inner experiences in ways that allow them to connect more deeply with themselves, leading to greater healing and freedom. Many clients share their surprise at how accurately I reflect what they are trying to express, and they often describe feeling seen and understood in our sessions. I work primarily with men, helping them identify and make sense of their emotions so they can express themselves more fully and experience more satisfying relationships.
The therapists on our team work from this same foundation. Through close, ongoing supervision, I emphasize attunement, emotional accuracy, and a steady, non-judgmental presence, so clients can expect thoughtful, relational therapy that values understanding before problem-solving.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, self-worth, trauma, or life transitions—this is a space where your whole self is welcome.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—it’s about coming home to yourself. And from that place, building deeper, more meaningful connections in every area of your life.

Yaffa Dyckman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Does the past still haunt you? Are you stuck thinking about a difficult experience, a relationship, a memory? Past Traumatic experiences and painful relationships can steal the joy out of life. So can negative self-talk. I can help you live more in the present and look positively towards the future. I bring over 15 years of clinical experience into my virtual and in person practices. I integrate both EMDR and psychodynamic therapy, two therapy approaches that I am certified in. I work with STAIR-NST as well, an approach that integrates both cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment theory. Don’t wait any longer to start feeling better. Let’s begin this journey together.
