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.

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.

Cheerful Heart Mental Health Counseling PLLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D, LPC, LPCC, NCC
Cheerful Heart was created to offer the kind of care many women need but struggle to find, care that takes women’s pain seriously, especially Black women’s pain. The practice was founded by Shakira K. O’Garro, LMHC-D, whose lived experience with severe stage IV endometriosis, adenomyosis, and medical trauma informs every layer of this work. Like many clients, she navigated years of dismissal within medical systems and discovered how deeply those experiences can impact mental health and faith.
Cheerful Heart exists so women no longer have to choose between clinical excellence and cultural or spiritual understanding. This is a space where faith questions are welcome, anger toward God is met with compassion, and healing is supported by genuine loving kindness.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
This is a collaborative process. I will seek to give a better question before giving an answer. I listen, reflecting back not just on what's said, but on what's underneath. Together, we increase awareness of the patterns, pressures, and emotional currents that shape how you relate to and make choices in your life. We uncover and explore any areas where anxiety, doubt, and self-criticism may take hold. I incorporate experiential techniques, along with aspects of therapeutic coaching, breathwork, and mindfulness, into my practice to foster a sense of calm and groundedness while also building insight and resilience. Our goal is not merely symptom relief, but to help you experience yourself and your relationships in different ways.

Healthy Minds NYC | Vanessa Baumback
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
For a long time, you've handled it. You stay busy, you stay ahead, and it mostly works. Then something breaks through anyway — a panic attack out of nowhere, or a reaction that's way bigger than the thing that caused it. You can't think your way out of it, and working harder isn't helping.
That's usually a sign your system is still holding onto something it never got to process. It's not a willpower problem.
I specialize in EMDR, which is a well-researched approach to trauma that helps your brain actually process old experiences so they stop driving how you feel now. I work with successful, high-functioning people on anxiety, depression, and trauma — including the kind that doesn't look like trauma. The loss you moved past too quickly. The thing you've never said out loud.
I see clients remotely, throughout New York, and my office has options for in-person care as well. EMDR works well online, and for most of my clients the flexibility makes it easier to actually commit to the work.
I'm straightforward and I'm kind, and I won't let you talk circles around the thing you came in to deal with. You've been the strong one for a long time. You don't have to be that with me.
If you're ready to stop managing this and start working through it, let's talk and see if we're a good fit.
