Resilience Therapy Group
Therapist, LCSW, LMHC, LMSW, MHC-LP, PMH-C
You're the one who holds a lot together, at work, at home, for the people who count on you. Underneath that, something has been asking for attention: the anxiety that won't quiet down, the patterns that keep repeating, the grief or the history you've never had room to feel. At Resilience Therapy, a group psychotherapy practice with offices in Manhattan and Port Washington and online therapy across New York, New Jersey, Florida, and several other states, you don't have to sort it out alone. Our clinicians bring real range, from anxiety, trauma, and OCD to addiction, relationships, depression, and life transitions, so the care you get actually fits the life you're living.
Because we're a team rather than a single therapist, we can match you with the clinician who truly fits what you're navigating, whether that's an evidence-based approach like CBT or EMDR, family and couples work, or a warm, depth-oriented space to understand yourself more honestly. Our therapists work with individuals, couples, families, teens, and adults, and some also offer sessions in additional languages such as Russian, French, and Spanish. Reaching out is often the hardest part, so let's take that first step together and find the right person for you.

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.

Living with intrusive thoughts, constant mental noise, compulsive behaviors, or unresolved pain can make it feel like you’re trapped in patterns you can’t escape.

My approach is straightforward but deeply compassionate—we’ll take an honest look at what’s keeping you stuck and develop practical tools that support lasting change.

Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
What makes my practice unique is the way I integrate evidence-based care with a deeply collaborative, person-centered approach. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel safe enough to be fully themselves, understood without judgment, and supported in a way that honors their autonomy, values, and lived experience.
I work from a place of curiosity, respect, and cultural sensitivity. I always meeting clients where they are and moving at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor therapy using various modalities to fit each person’s needs, goals, and emotional experiences.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to navigate what they are going through. My role is not to “fix” you, but to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and your emotional world so that you can begin responding to life with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
I also prioritize accessibility and convenience by offering fully virtual therapy, allowing you to access care from the comfort and privacy of your own space. With flexible scheduling, therapy can be integrated into your life in a way that feels realistic and supportive rather than overwhelming.
If you are looking for a therapeutic space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin creating meaningful change that aligns with who you are and what matters to you, I would be honored to work with 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.
