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.

MERLYN HURD PHD QEEG D
Psychologist, PHD; QEEG D BCB, BCN
As a psychologist and neurotherapist for 30 years plus, I have worked with many clients with serious brain disorders and have been successful in assisting them in achieving good mental health. Each client is unique as well as their brains are unique and when the issues are pinpointed the journey to health can be achieved. I conduct a brain map analysis to pinpoint the dysregulations that are impeding the client and then construct protocols to address the issues. Clients have often commented that the work with myself and associates has provided them with quicker and more long lasting relief than many years of just talk therapy.

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.

Farzana Rahman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D
Having worked for a decade, I have supported clients through the nuanced and demanding areas of interpersonal stress, major life transitions, identity exploration, and the long-lasting impact of early adverse childhood experiences. I hold particular care and awareness towards the cultural, relational, and systemic forces that shape a person’s sense of self. I feel especially attuned to how family histories and early attachments influence adult relationships, therefore, I often invite clients to explore identity, unlearn old narratives, and build relationships that feel grounded and authentic. My unique, yet collective experiences as a child of immigrant parents and a South Asian woman allow me to recognize how family expectations, cultural identity, gender identity, and other parts of ourselves are important in the therapy work.

As a Black female Licensed Mental Health Clinician with nearly five years of experience, I hold deep respect for the ways culture, identity, and intergenerational experiences shape us.

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.
