Jazmin Melendez
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMSW
I believe every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and respected for who they are and the experiences that have shaped them. As someone who identifies as queer and is part of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the importance of having spaces where you can show up as your full self without judgment or the need to explain who you are. I value culturally responsive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and identity-affirming care, and recognize that culture, family, identity, and lived experience are important parts of each person’s story. I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, honesty, and humanity, while honoring both the challenges you’re carrying and the strengths that have helped you navigate them. I also believe there should be room for humor and genuine connection in therapy. My hope is that our work helps you feel more understood, connected to yourself, and empowered to move forward in a way that feels authentic to you.
I work with children, teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, relationships, identity, stress, neurodivergence, and life transitions. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what’s happening, feel understood, and work together toward greater clarity, confidence, and meaningful change.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Many of the people I work with are insightful, capable, and used to being the strong one—but inside, they feel overwhelmed, lonely, or unsure how to change the patterns they keep repeating. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about creating a space where you can be fully seen and understood while we gently and honestly look at what isn’t working and why. My style is warm, direct, and deeply relational. I help people understand their emotional patterns, attachment wounds, identity questions, and relationship dynamics so they can live with more clarity, self-trust, and freedom.

Emily Brenner
Art Therapist, LCAT, ATR-BC
I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and grief. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying more than you can manage on your own, therapy can help you slow things down, make sense of your experiences, and feel more like yourself again. I offer virtual therapy across New York State and accept Cigna and Carelon.

Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
You are not too sensitive. You are not failing at healing. Your body has just been running an old survival program for a long time, and it’s tired. I work with sensitive women and queer adults who are done performing “fine” while quietly falling apart.

Neha Chawla
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, ATR-BC, LCAT, LP, FIPA
I believe that taking the time and effort to self-reflect, observe ourselves and delve deeper into the root causes of our conflicts, challenges, painful relationships and difficult realities is a worthwhile endeavor. The process of turning inward, inquiring into yourself and getting to know your own mind is a vital self-investment that can help you experience this life with more depth, freedom and contentment. Together we can discover important insights, new coping strategies and engender a sense of clarity and purpose in a safe, meaningful and non-judgmental therapeutic space.
I have experience working with individuals and couples, often but not limited to issues around stress, depression or anxiety, burnout, career conflicts, unhealthy relationships patterns, communication issues, divorce, family conflicts, parenting challenges, creative blocks, social anxiety, sexuality, loss/grief, child and adult trauma and illness (chronic or terminal). Having served as a therapist in multiple settings from mental health clinics, hospitals, schools, universities and hospice care, my practice has spanned a wide variety of ages, settings and demographics.
I am passionate about my work and supporting people as they heal and grow and so, I invite you to meet with me for an initial consultation and decide for yourself whether we are a good working match.
