New York City, New York therapist: Staci Des Rault, licensed mental health counselor
MI

Staci Des Rault

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. M.Div
One of my favorite things about being a therapist is being able to support people in reclaiming power in their lives. I value the privilege of holding a safe space for people to process their deepest fears, struggles, and pain, but also to bear witness to their celebrations and victories, no matter how big or small. Diagnoses and labels can be helpful flashlights to help us find our way, but ultimately, therapy should be about having a safe place to come where you can be your full authentic self.

Danielle Farabaugh

Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily stress, anxious thoughts, or reminders of your traumatic memories? Struggling with anger or relationship conflict? Feeling stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and unhealthy behaviors? Life's struggles can feel isolating but you don't have to face them alone. It would be a privilege and an honor to accompany you on your mental health journey. I'm a licensed psychologist with over 18 years in the field. I have expertise in the treatment of PTSD, trauma, and stress and in the understanding of veteran and military culture. Other areas of specialty include anxiety, phobias, panic, depression, insomnia, and addiction. I work with teens and adults, as well as the spouses, partners and family members of those struggling. I also have extensive experience supporting veterans, first responders, and medical and mental health providers. Whether you've been in therapy before or are ready to take the very first step towards healing and growth, I would love to hear from you.

New York City, New York therapist: Lenny Gallo, licensed clinical social worker

Lenny Gallo

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Living with intrusive thoughts, constant mental noise, compulsive behaviors, or unresolved pain can make it feel like you’re trapped in patterns you can’t escape. If you’re ready to do meaningful work and want a therapist who is direct, genuine, and grounded, I’m here for that. My approach is straightforward but deeply compassionate—we’ll take an honest look at what’s keeping you stuck and develop practical tools that support lasting change. I work extensively with OCD, anxiety, panic, trauma, men’s issues, body dysmorphia, LGBTQIA+ concerns, and the unique pressures faced by those in creative and entertainment fields.

Rochester, New York therapist: Yuanfei Zhang, licensed mental health counselor
MI

Yuanfei Zhang

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I became a therapist because I know what it means to be between worlds. As someone who has navigated different cultures, languages, and identities, I understand the particular kind of loneliness that comes when your inner life doesn't quite have words yet — or when the words you have don't translate. That experience lives at the heart of everything I do. I work primarily with women and individuals in the perinatal space — pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, and loss — as well as college students and immigrants standing at crossroads moments in their lives. These are the seasons when we most need someone who can hold complexity without rushing to fix it. My training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) gives me a framework, but honestly, what guides me most is curiosity. I want to know what your life actually feels like from the inside — what you carry, what you've adapted to, what you've quietly set aside. I want to know how your culture shaped the way you love, grieve, and ask for help. And I want to sit with you in all of it, without judgment, without a predetermined destination. Clients tell me our sessions feel like finally exhaling. My hope is that over time, that feeling stops being something you only find in a therapy room — and starts becoming something you carry with you.
