It is my belief that every person, from all walks of life, has their own struggles with mental health. Therapy can be utilized to help us become more self-aware and as a result be more self-sufficient. I take a psychodynamic approach in which I work with you to dive deep into the psychological roots of your emotional processes. In other words, I help you develop a deeper understanding of your emotional and mental well-being. 

I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York, fluent in English and Arabic. I earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Hofstra University, and soon after went on to earn a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling at SUNY College of Old Westbury. I had the opportunity to complete a clinical internship at Rikers Island working with the incarcerated population. Working with such a complex and diverse population not only allowed me to learn the true value of therapy but, that therapy truly works best when customized to the needs of the individual.

I aim to work with clients with the goal of creating an individualized treatment plan that helps to focus and improve on the areas of their life that may be lacking or in disarray. I have extensive experience working with patients experiencing anxiety, depression, personality disorders, mood disorders, as well as trauma and issues surrounding culture/diversity. 

I prioritize the therapeutic relationship, believing it is the foundation of effective therapy. My goal is to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can freely explore your concerns. I take pride in utilizing active listening, empathy, and unconditional positive regard to build trust and rapport. I embrace an eclectic approach that draws from various therapeutic modalities to meet the unique needs of each client. My approach is founded on the belief that individuals are complex, and a one-size-fits-all method may not capture the richness of their experiences. I integrate elements from humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives, tailoring my interventions to the specific challenges and strengths of each individual.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor's degree in Psychology from CUNY Baruch College. I have experience in the Family Treatment and Rehabilitation Program in child welfare. I worked extensively with families grappling with mental health and substance abuse challenges. This experience has given me profound insights into the intricate dynamics of healing journeys. My commitment lies in translating this understanding into impactful therapeutic interventions, fostering growth and well-being for individuals and families in need. Prior to my residency at The Soho Center, I completed my practicum, working with a diverse range of individuals, including minorities, children, adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals. I provided support for issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, marital issues, substance abuse, and more. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling at Baruch College.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe that everyone needs a safe space and trusted person to share their personal struggles. My style of counseling focuses on the counselor client relationship. Using person centered approaches, I provide a safe space, where we as counselor and client develop a rapport, so you feel heard and understood. Once a trusting rapport is established, I will work with you at your own pace, through the stages of change, to help you accomplish your goals and achieve overall wellness.

I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Queens College and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John’s University. During my final year at St. John’s University, I interned at the PAC Program of Queens. During my internship, I worked with clients who struggled with substance abuse, anxiety, anger management and domestic violence.

I am a Brooklyn native and senior psychotherapist who is proficient in working with clients to broaden their awareness of themselves, their thoughts, and their feelings. My primary goals are to: provide counseling through a sex positive and inclusive framework and provide a therapeutic space that is non-judgmental, authentic, respectful, and collaborative. I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s degree in Mental Health & Counseling at Hofstra University. I have always been passionate about helping others and have been in the field of psychology for over 7 years. As a clinician, I work with adolescents and adults who have experienced or are living life with trauma, depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, mood disturbances, and/or grief.

I offer therapy that is largely rooted in trauma-informed, person-centered, and evidence-based approaches. I specialize in Eye-movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, an evidence-based approach effective in treating: anger, emotional eating, procrastination/avoidance behaviors/indecision, relationship enrichment/healing, and stress management to name a few.

If there was a quote that personifies the essence of my clinical theory it is: “Therapy is not only about gaining insight, but also about making real changes in your life. Together, not only will we work towards developing more compassion and awareness, but also to bring practical solutions and coping skills into life.”With me, we can explore and discuss how past experiences, identity, and internalized systems may get in the way of your ability to live a life that feels purposeful, fulfilling, and mentally balanced.

Whenever you are ready, I am here to listen and create space for all your emotions, the tolerable and intolerable ones!

Hello! My name is Nina, and I am an Advanced Clinical Resident with an eclectic approach to healing, drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities to best support your unique journey. My practice is rooted in person-centered therapy, where I prioritize creating a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your feelings and experiences. I believe in the power of holistic wellness, recognizing that true healing involves nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. As a strengths-based therapist, my goal is to support you in discovering and expanding upon your own personal growth and potential. By working collaboratively, I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs, empowering you to tap into your inner resources and create lasting change in your life.

I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Sonoma State University and have had the pleasure of working with adults, children and families over the past few years. I have experience with trauma-informed care, at-risk youth, emotional and interpersonal skills building and CBT approaches in counseling. I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in clinical counseling at Baruch College. I have personal passions in meditation, cooking, art, and creative exploration in all forms! I find creativity and curiosity to be a powerful tool, and I often incorporate this into the therapeutic work.

Committed to meeting clients at their unique life juncture, I provide a nurturing, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for the therapeutic journey. My work is grounded in the belief that the relationship between one’s inner world and outer circumstances can be both a source of struggle and a terrain for healing.

My approach is integrative, holistic, and multiculturally informed. Drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), reality therapy, and mindfulness, I tailor each session to the individual. As an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist, I am trained to support clients in processing trauma at a deeper level. I also work with couples to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and navigate relational challenges — and I serve as a clinical supervisor for emerging mental health professionals.

Holding a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from New York University and an advanced certificate in LGBT Health, Education, and Social Services, my training is complemented by hands-on experience as a residential counselor in psychiatric hospitals and group homes.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, multicultural identity, relationship issues, and LGBTQ+ experiences, with a deep commitment to creating a space where every client feels seen, respected, and empowered.

* Please note that we will try our best to accommodate any therapist requests, in the event that we are unable to do so please know that all staff have extensive clinical training.

I take an integrative, client-centered approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to each individual’s unique needs, experiences, and goals. My work draws from a range of evidence-based modalities, including humanistic, psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed approaches.
I believe that many of the patterns, coping strategies, and protective mechanisms we develop early in life serve an important purpose, helping us navigate difficult experiences and environments. As adults, however, some of these same patterns may no longer support the life we want to live. Together, we work to understand these longstanding dynamics with curiosity and compassion, while creating space for new ways of relating to ourselves and others.

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and curious. I strive to create an affirming, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore challenges and vulnerabilities. At the same time, I believe growth often requires honest reflection and, when appropriate, gentle challenge. I also value the role of humor in the therapeutic process and find that it can be a powerful tool for building connection, fostering perspective, and supporting healing.

I work with adults, couples, and adolescents, with a particular focus on supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is to help clients deepen self-understanding, strengthen relationships, and make meaningful, lasting changes aligned with their values.

I am a fully licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York State and a board-certified National Certified Counselor (NCC). I am also currently pursuing certification as a sex therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT).

Muriel believes in the multifaceted nature of each client’s journey and provides a warm, safe and trusting environment, where clients feel valued as well as heard. She will walk with you as you explore emotions and life challenges that are impacting your sense of well-being. Muriel is aware that clients enter into therapy with many unrealized strengths and your sessions with her, she will provide the space that allows for the discovery of these strengths and tailor interventions to assist each client, couple or family, with enhancing their lives, relationships and overall experiences they desire to improve.

With a foundation in Psychodynamic, Cognitive and Mindfulness Theories, Muriel’s approach is integrative and framed within a multicultural context. She draws from evidenced-based practices and interventions that best fit each client’s needs and the goals they wish to achieve. She’s dedicated to building a trusting therapeutic relationship and will work collaboratively with clients as they learn new skills, strategies and methods of coping. In addition, clients will realize a new sense of well-being and gain the empowerment that will allow them to navigate life’s challenges optimistically, meet their goals and flourish.

I believe that building a trusting, collaborative relationship is at the heart of healing. My goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout your therapeutic journey. If stress, perfectionism, daily life stressors, or trying to please others is hindering your daily life, you are not alone. I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with panic, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, relationship stressors, and the emotional aftermath of difficult life experiences.

In our first few sessions, we begin to get to know one another, understand what you might currently be struggling with and the origins of those struggles. Once we have built a foundation, we can then begin incorporating coping skills and utilizing therapeutic interventions tailored to you as an individual.

Therapy with me is collaborative and compassionate, free of judgment and focused on helping you to feel calmer, more connected with others, and in control of your life. If you're ready to begin your journey toward healing, I’m here to help.
