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. I bring curiosity, compassion, and cultural awareness to our work. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, self-worth, trauma, or life transitions—this is a space where your whole self is welcome.

Menucha Banayan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMHC
Sometimes couples come to therapy feeling exhausted and discouraged — like they’ve tried everything and are still ending up in the same painful patterns. My practice is a warm, supportive space where both partners feel heard, understood, and respected. I work with couples who feel alone in their marriage, stuck in rough communication cycles, or unsure how things got so distant despite trying so hard. Together, we gently explore triggers, the ways you each impact one another, and the deeper emotions underneath the conflict. My goal is to help you move out of blame and disconnection and into a relationship where you feel secure, valued, and truly loved. If you’re longing for closeness again, I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.

Wayne Ayers
Psychologist, PhD
Psychotherapy can be challenging, but it is a rewarding process. Most people come in to discuss the problems in their lives. They often forget about what is going well, and what are their natural talents and abilities. I train and supervise psychologists at area hospitals. Because of this I am sensitive to ethical concerns: honesty, integrity and practicality. I strive to create a very kind and safe atmosphere where personal exploration is possible. Psychotherapy should be collaborative. I am active and vocal and give my clients ongoing feedback, inquiry and support.

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.

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.
