Fairport, New York therapist: A Better High,LLC, drug and alcohol counselor
Motivational Interviewing (MI)

A Better High,LLC

Drug and Alcohol Counselor, C.A.R.C.
I am proudly and openly in long-term recovery myself from substance use disorders. Over the years I’ve learned that there are just many many ways to do this, and a lot of my job and specialty is helping people find and implement the path that works best for them. I offer a lot of “handholding” in the beginning, which seems really helpful for the people I work with. I’ve been told by others that I have a friendly, natural, casual and “organic” presence, which helps people relax and even have fun, which is really important to me.

Plattsburgh, New York therapist: Kaitlin McMahon, LCSW, licensed clinical social worker
Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Kaitlin McMahon, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you've been holding things on your own for a long time. I aim to create a space that feels steady, supportive, and genuinely collaborative--where you don't have to minimize your experiences or have everything figured out before you begin. My work is grounded in the belief that people make sense of things through the context of what they've been through. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or trying to process difficult past experiences, therapy can be a place to sort through that at your own pace. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you make sense of what's coming up and move toward a life that feels more manageable and more like your own.

New York City, New York therapist: Day by Day Psychotherapy LCSW PLLC, licensed clinical social worker
Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Day by Day Psychotherapy LCSW PLLC

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, primarily working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. I provide a warm, holistic, and trauma informed approach, meeting you where you are and supporting clients at their own pace. I aim to create a nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and experiences. Clients often find it easier than expected to open up, with a strong focus on connection and trust early in the process. My work is shaped by both clinical training and lived experience. Outside of my practice, I enjoy traveling with my spouse, being in nature, spending time with my cats, and live music (or rocking out to Nine Inch Nails).

Nyack, New York therapist: Embrace Psychotherapy, LCSW, PLLC, licensed clinical social worker
Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Embrace Psychotherapy, LCSW, PLLC

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My name is Elaine Hernandez-Cordova, but my friends all call me Elena! I am an Omnistic, bi-sexual, Latin-American psychotherapist, life coach and author. For the last 20 years, I have dedicated my life to practicing a holistic approach to lifestyle adjustments for myself, my family and the systems we all reside in. I like to consider all of humanity to be my family, and I try to reflect this in my work. I was born in an impoverished part of Brooklyn, NY where I was adopted by a prominent lawyer and his wife who couldn’t bear children due to an early battle with cancer. This inspired my natural inclination to bond with people, both personally and professionally, and maintain meaningful connections. Seeing how imbalanced our society was, and eager to be the change I wanted to see in the world, I studied for a Master of Social Work from the School of Public Health at the University of Central Florida in 2003. I became increasingly interested in the mind-body connection, and so I became a yoga therapist in 2013 through the Long Island Yoga School. I provide therapeutic services in relation to addiction and post-traumatic stress pro-bono at local hospitals and community centers. My personal experiences and professional expertise in mental health and substance use afford me powerful insight into the healing practices of the dually diagnosed. I am a proud social advocate, and regularly devote time to visit with veterans, inmates, consumers and the underserved. I encourage people to take time to write letters, make phone calls, sign petitions, send emails and donate to causes that matter to the unique values of the individual. Don’t be afraid of being a voice in the community of your choice. If you don’t stand for something then you will fall for anything!
