I provide a neutral, non-judgmental zone to explore and find positive coping strategies that can improve daily living. I believe that positive coping strategies will empower us to live our best lives. I will aid you in finding and exploring factors in your past and present that have hindered you from recognizing your internal strength, thereby empowering you to move forward and become mentally healthier. I hold a strong belief that talk therapy allows for a collaborative effort to utilize grounded theories as the tools needed to help you heal, change, accept and live your best life.

Traumas are weaved into the body like our DNA sequences. To protect ourselves at times (especially as children), we block out the scary things. The body remembers and can be triggered, however. Accepting and understanding your triggers can be integral in living your best life. I believe that we all need a safe space to explore our concerns with daily living and its impediments - you will find it here. Additionally, we will explore how culture (both familial and ethnic), influence our choices.

Anthony Preischel, PhD, LMHC-D, is an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist and a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), specializing in the treatment of compulsive sexual behaviors, pornography addiction, infidelity, and complex relationship dynamics.

Anthony’s work is designed for individuals and couples seeking a more focused, high-level approach to therapy—one that goes beyond insight alone and produces meaningful, lasting change. He is known for helping clients address patterns that feel difficult to control, particularly those related to sexuality, intimacy, and trust.

His approach is structured, direct, and highly individualized. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and advanced sex therapy frameworks, Anthony works collaboratively with clients to understand the deeper drivers of behavior while implementing clear, strategic interventions to shift them.

A significant focus of his practice is supporting clients in breaking cycles of compulsive pornography use and sexual behavior, as well as guiding couples through the process of rebuilding trust and restoring connection after betrayal. His work emphasizes discretion, depth, and results—creating a space where clients can engage in this process with both clarity and confidence.

Clients often seek out Anthony for his ability to balance depth with direction. Sessions are intentional and forward-moving, providing not only a deeper understanding of patterns but a clear path toward change.

My therapeutic style balances working collaboratively with clients while allowing them the space and support to work through whatever they bring to the session. I use an empathetic approach to connect with clients to build a trusting relationship and foster an environment of safety, warmth, and understanding.

  I use an eclectic lens of psychotherapy and draw on techniques from multiple theories including CBT, psychodynamic, person-centered, and positive psychology. I also understand that every individual is unique and therefore I rely on each client’s strengths and attributes to cater to their needs during sessions.   I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in various therapeutic settings. I provide psychotherapy services to clients of all ages and backgrounds and also conduct couples sessions. I work with clients attending therapy for an array of issues including anxiety, depression, personality disorders, relational issues, trauma, and stress. I strongly believe that everyone can benefit from therapy if they give themselves permission to do so. Starting with a new therapist can feel daunting or uncomfortable and in recognizing that, I provide a space that allows the client to have autonomy over their own mental health journey.

Everyone possesses unique strengths and internal assets that can be used to overcome challenges. My role as a therapist is to help you uncover and amplify your strengths, empower you to make positive changes, and find new paths toward well-being. I offer a supportive and open space for exploration, clarity, and growth using evidence-based techniques drawing from emotionally focused therapy, relational therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems, and multicultural counseling.   I am committed to fostering personal growth, facilitating healing, and promoting holistic wellness. We all share the desire to be understood and loved as our most authentic selves. I want to provide a welcoming environment where you can embrace your individuality and explore your various identities. Our unique identities and worldviews are significantly shaped by our upbringing, beliefs, and life experiences. Together, we can access your inner powers on this self-discovery journey and navigate life’s complexities with confidence.   I earned my bachelor's degree double majoring in Applied Psychology and Economics at Boston College and my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness at New York University. As a bilingual therapist, I can provide therapy in both Mandarin and English. I will meet you at your level of readiness for change and support you as you strive toward authenticity and growth.

Throughout life people develop a variety of assumptions, strategies, and behaviors in order to protect themselves and cope with the world around them. Over time, however, we face challenges and circumstances when the ways that we have learned to react and process are no longer effective. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to understand ourselves and the context in which these patterns developed which enables us to make deliberate choices about how we see ourselves and relate to others. By exploring and developing this awareness, clients are able to understand their own agency in their lives and work toward their personal goals I use a variety of relational and cognitive behavioral interventions to help clients identify patterns of behavior and assumptions and how those patterns fit into the lives that they want to be leading. I work with clients to create a safe environment to explore one's authentic motivations without judgment or rejection.

Everyone experiences, overwhelming stress, disturbing emotions and behaviors and of course conflict in their relationships. Therapy provides a safe space to address these concerns and look for ways to explore the nature and origin of these issues and find a way to help you understand and make changes.

Compassionate, caring, sensitive, inquisitive and empathetic listening is key to helping you find the answers to navigate through this path. Shealagh believes that every client has the ability and knowledge to find their own answers and existing strengths, that will allow them to improve how they feel about themselves, how they feel in their relationships as well in their wider social life and at work.

She received undergraduate and graduate degrees in clinical and neuropsychology from Oxford University in the UK and further training in therapy and counselling in New York at Columbia and Long Island University. Currently she is a Senior Psychotherapist and Clinical Consultant at the Soho Center.

She has extensive experience in helping her clients of all ages work through issues of anxiety, depression and relationship issues. Having worked for many years with children and families in crisis, she would also be available to work with couples and families experiencing difficulties in their relationships. She can help with parenting issues and work with pregnant or adoptive families, new parents and families struggling with children with learning disabilities and mental health issues.

She has also worked extensively in hospital and medical settings and would be available to do grief and bereavement work for anyone dealing with current illness themselves or in their family, as well as anyone struggling with the traumatic experiences of loss and death.

The therapeutic rapport built by careful and empathetic listening will allow you to build a relationship with your therapist and create a safe place that will allow for change in areas that are holding you back and acceptance of who you are. Her orientation is psychodynamic, and she will also use elements from CBT, Person- Centered and family system approaches.

Ultimately, she is a positive and optimistic person, who believes with the right support and the willingness to put in the hard work a more balanced and satisfying life can be achieved and she would like to help you find your place of acceptance- who you are- and comfort, success and positivity at whatever stage in life. At the Soho Center there is a whole team behind each therapist, so you are getting the benefit of a whole team supporting the person you are working with on your journey.

Common struggles like anxiety, low self-esteem, and bad habits inhibit our personal growth and development. I am passionate about addressing those struggles and guiding individuals to function at their optimal abilities. I utilize my warm therapeutic approach to establish an alliance full of empathy and free of judgment. By promoting a safe space to openly explore challenges, we can create a natural, lasting change.

All life paths vary, as do treatment plans. Based on my professional assessment and your goals, I create an individualized approach suited for each client. My fundamental approach is person centered therapy, which highlights the inbuilt proclivity toward growth and fulfillment of each individual. In addition, I utilize techniques from various other approaches including psychodynamic psychotherapy, and mind-body approaches. I work with people who are seeking help with familial or relational conflicts, trauma, work/life balance, and anxiety. I was born in Ukraine, speak Russian, and incorporate multicultural awareness to my therapeutic work.

I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Queens College, and a Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology from Stony Brook University. I have experience working at various private practice locations and provided therapy to individuals who were incarcerated at the Riverhead Correctional Facility.  I am trained in hypnotherapy and emotional intelligence work. I also balance my clinical work with creative outlets such as jewelry making and painting, and value the natural therapeutic elements offered through nature immersion and travel. 

It is oftentimes difficult to see past our problems and easier to assign blame to ourselves. I recognize that there are many factors that can inhibit us from expressing our best selves; our immediate environments, childhood history, learned behaviors, etc., all have an imprint on our current state of being. I can help you identify what outlook you want, and assist you in becoming that person through humanistic and evidence-based work.

There are things in our lives that we have control over and other things in our lives that we do not control. Therapy offers the opportunity for us to change and find ways to cope with the things we cannot control. My approach in therapy is to do my best to understand who you are as an individual and help you recognize that you are the expert of your life. I will provide insight and structure to your feelings and experiences to help identify how you want to grow and we can collaboratively move toward that goal. My therapeutic process starts with a person-centered approach to build comfort and openness and integrates techniques and theories from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and other approaches. 

I have training and experience with working with individuals from various backgrounds and cultures and understand the importance of not having your experiences feel dismissed. Whether your presenting concern is related to depression, anxiety, phobias, body image, relationship issues, trauma, or everyday stressors, we can work to identify the source of those feelings and create a plan for growth.

I completed my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at The City College of New York. I also have a master’s degree in Psychology in Education from Teachers College, Columbia University and a BS in Applied Psychology from New York University. I have worked with the Administration for Children’s Services and helped children, adolescents, and adults from many backgrounds navigate crisis situations, abuse, and family issues. I have also worked at a college counseling center, in individual and group formats, to help people navigate various life adjustments, balancing expectations, and struggles with identity.

I firmly believe that each person holds the answers to their challenges, and through the collaborative process of therapy, people can become empowered to discover these answers and achieve their goals. In my practice, both the therapist and the client are actively engaged in the exploration of the client’s thoughts, emotions, and experiences within a non-judgmental and nurturing space. In this space, I strive to create an environment where you can feel comfortable and safe in expressing yourself and exploring your concerns.

  Respecting the uniqueness of each individual is at the core of my practice, and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs. Drawing from various therapeutic modalities, such as Internal Family Systems, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and relational therapies, I hope to empower clients to discover their own strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and create steps to reach their therapeutic goals. In session, you can expect encouragement toward self-reflection, self-compassion, and personal growth, while helping you become comfortable living in life’s “gray areas.”   I completed my master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling at Rutgers University. I received my undergraduate psychology degree from Boston University, where I focused on women, gender, queer and sexuality studies, rendering me sensitive to the needs and issues affecting members of the LGBTQIA+ and other diverse communities. I look forward to meeting you and helping you heal, grow, and thrive; ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Every person has a story to tell. And every person’s story is unique. Sometimes sharing your story can feel overwhelming, intimidating and frightening. As your therapist, Margaret Castaldo offers a warm, welcoming space in which you can freely and safely reveal your present as well as your past—and craft your continuing story for the future.
Together, she will help you explore your individual narrative, unique experiences, challenges, relationships, thoughts, feelings and behaviors, to unpack issues that cause you difficulty and distress. Whether you’re grappling with the challenge of finding meaning and purpose, work-life issues, parenting, stress, anxiety or relationships, she endeavors to provide a supportive, authentic environment for you to explore your deeper self and opportunities for growth and healing.
Her approach is predominately drawn from psychodynamic theory in which insight is found through extended exploration, a process that slowly unravels longstanding patterns, thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may impede self- growth and discovery. Additionally, she is inspired by and draws understanding from her former work in the corporate creative space, the writing arts, volunteer teaching, as well as parenting.
She completed a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness at New York University. She also hold a Master’s degree in English and American Literature from New York University and a B.A. with honors in Political Science and English from the University of California, Irvine.
