Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
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.

Matthew Heintz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life can be overwhelming can't it? Feelings of anxiety, self criticism and low or no motivation don't come from no where. I work with clients to create a space where they can be themselves and understand how to work with these overwhelming feelings. It is important to me to know the people I work with as more than their symptoms, I want to know what you value, who you care for and what you just find nifty. I won't act as just a therapist in our work. We are allowed to joke, cry, and talk about how cute your pets are, it's all a part of the process.

As a therapist, I value the therapeutic relationship and try to show up for each client fully and take on the responsibility for their progress. Also, as a therapist, I always try to find potential avenues for growth, whether it's getting a certification in cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy, I believe that growing my skillset and sharing it with you is essential. I also encourage you to think deeply about your life and to take actions to create changes that you want to see.

Danielle Acker- Adams
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Hello there! I am Danielle, a Licensed Master Social Worker, providing individual psychotherapy to adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I specialize in working with teens and individuals recovering from relationship trauma, including emotional abuse, manipulation, and unhealthy relationship patterns.
Adolescence can be an overwhelming stage of life filled with emotional changes, social pressure, and identity development. I provide a supportive space where teens can talk openly about challenges such as anxiety, depression, peer relationships, family conflict, and self-esteem, while building healthy coping skills and confidence.
I also work with adults healing from emotionally harmful relationships and relationship trauma, including those navigating divorce or the end of significant partnerships. Many clients come to therapy feeling confused, questioning themselves, or struggling to trust again. Therapy can help rebuild self-trust, strengthen boundaries, and develop healthier relationship patterns moving forward.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented, with a strong strengths-based focus. I work with clients to identify meaningful goals, build practical coping strategies, and develop the tools needed to move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and emotional well-being.

Queens is one of the most ethnically diverse urban areas in the world — home to speakers of over 160 languages — and its therapy community reflects this range, with multilingual and multicultural practitioners a practical necessity rather than a specialty. The borough's large South Asian, Chinese, Korean, Colombian, and Guyanese communities create consistent demand for therapists who can navigate bicultural identity, immigration stress, and family systems shaped by values from outside mainstream Western culture. Elmhurst Hospital Center and Queens Hospital Center serve the borough's institutional mental health needs, while a growing network of private practitioners operates across Forest Hills, Flushing, Jamaica, and Astoria. Telehealth has significantly expanded access to culturally matched care for clients across the borough.
