Adrian Pinckney
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe meaningful change begins within a therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and genuine human connection. Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment.
As a licensed clinical social worker, I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the emotional demands of everyday life. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and tailored to each individual's unique experiences, values, and goals. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I collaborate with clients to develop practical strategies while exploring the deeper patterns that influence emotional well-being.
Whether you're working through a difficult chapter, healing from past experiences, or striving for greater clarity and resilience, therapy can be a powerful investment in yourself. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they build insight, strengthen their emotional health, and create lasting, meaningful change.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Some things are hard to say out loud. Maybe you've never quite found the words, or the right person to say them to. Maybe you've been carrying questions about your body, your desire, your relationship, or who you are, quietly and for a long time.
You don't have to do that here.
I'm Paula Kirsch, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, and I work with women navigating sexual health concerns, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, and people in ENM and kink-engaged relationships. Not as a specialty I added on, but as the heart of my practice. I understand your world, your language, and the particular weight of the things you may have never said to anyone.
Whatever you bring into this space, I'm not going to flinch, rush you, or hand you a formula. We'll sit with it together and figure out where to go from there. That's the work, and I genuinely love doing it. Book your Free Consultation on my website.

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.
