When you’re craving real change but feel stuck—whether it’s anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, or a big life transition—you deserve a therapist who truly hears you. Someone who doesn’t judge, who offers tools you can actually use, and who helps you understand the deeper patterns shaping your thoughts and emotions. My clients often want to feel more grounded, strengthen their relationships, build confidence, and move through life with more clarity and direction. Most of all, they want to feel more like themselves again—or discover who they’re becoming. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices. I draw from CBT, DBT, and person-centered therapy to help you make sense of what you’re going through, develop effective coping skills, and move toward the life you want. I believe therapy should feel empowering—a space where you can show up as you are and be met with respect, compassion, and curiosity. Whether you’re looking for guidance, a place to process, or support in making meaningful changes, I’m here to help you move forward at a pace that feels right for you.

Everything you need to cope with the struggles you're going through is inside of you as you read this. Our job as your therapist is to act as a mirror so that you can truly see yourself for the first time. We will be a sounding board for you to start the conversations that you need to have with yourself and potentially with others. We provide a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space where you can feel free to express yourself and be as open as you feel comfortable. We specialize in working with women, especially women of color, who need help learning to cope with stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms. We have vast experience working with clients who have survived trauma during various stages of life. We can all use help from others, especially when we're going through a particularly tough time. Even at a time where you may feel like you don't know what on earth is going on and everything is upside down, you know that something has to change. Let's make some changes together!

If you were looking for a sign to try therapy, consider this that sign. Life feels hard, and everyone and everything feels overwhelming. You just want to feel better but don't even know where to begin. You don't have to figure it all out on your own. So let's talk. Even better, let's collaborate. I have a relaxed style based on science but led by empathy and humor. I commonly help clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions, or even just a case of the "blahs." Our work together will be as unique as you are to pinpoint and address your personal goals. I commonly I pull from evidence-based treatments including cognitive and psychodynamic therapies geared to target unhelpful thoughts, build up your coping skills or work through past and current patterns. During our sessions, you can expect to feel safe, seen, and fully embraced- just as you are. I look forward to connecting with you to learn how we can enhance your well-being, alleviate the stress and pain you may be experiencing and find your joy again.

I am a licensed psychotherapist and I specialize in supporting youth and young adults navigating chronic illness (e.g., autoimmune disorders), anxiety, depression, sports-related stress, disordered eating, weight loss, trauma, and relationship challenges. Facing a chronic condition at a young age can feel isolating, and life changes such as starting college, beginning a new career, or being a student-athlete may be overwhelming. Navigating body image and your relationship with food can be confusing, and trying to lose weight only to fall back into old habits can feel defeating. Being a young person in today’s world IS hard - like trying to keep your head above water. I lead sessions with compassion and lightheartedness. As a psychotherapist and future dietitian, I often use health psychology research and mind-body practices during the healing process. Therefore, I honor each person’s lived experience while helping them understand how their brain and body respond to stress. I work to help you develop helpful thought patterns, identify your strengths, live by your values, and find relief. Most importantly, I hold space to be a human. If you feel that I may be a good fit for your needs, I would be happy to connect and discuss how I can help you on your healing journey.

I understand how difficult times have been. Being back home, missing your friends and social life. I get you. My practice works extensively with college students. Together we can navigate during these turbulent times and get to a better place. I am here for you.

I’ve always thought that the most beautiful and interesting trees in the forest are the ones that grow into unique forms, shaped by their environment but finding a way to adapt and thrive. Similarly, life’s challenges can shape us in profound ways, but they can also leave us feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck. I’m Rob Gooding, a second-year graduate student at St. Bonaventure University studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals navigate these challenges and uncover their inner resilience to live fulfilling and authentic lives. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for growth and healing. To me, it’s a privilege to walk alongside clients as they share their stories and embark on their journey toward self-discovery and empowerment. My approach is grounded in person-centered principles, recognizing that you are the expert in your own life. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and supported. By integrating evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Solution-Focused Therapy, I work with clients to reframe negative thought patterns, develop practical skills, and prioritize their needs. Together, we’ll build tools to navigate challenges with confidence and clarity. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, academic pressures, identity exploration, or life transitions, you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to help you rediscover your strengths, adapt to life’s demands, and create meaningful change. Just like those unique trees in the forest, your story is one of resilience and growth – and it would be an honor to support you on your path. Robert Gooding is a therapist in-training at Sol Health. Sol Health is a digital health startup that offers $30 therapy to Gen Zs by connecting them with therapists in-training accruing clinical hours

Hello, I am Mary Brodsky, LCSW, and I have 25 years of experience helping people struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, childhood trauma, and work-related issues, among others. My practice was in New York City for most of my career, and many of my clients have been people in the arts. I have worked with clients of all ages, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and life circumstances. Also, I am open to exploring people’s spiritual and religious beliefs and have found this can be an essential part of healing in therapy. In my experience, a positive and supportive relationship with a skilled therapist has been most helpful and healing for clients. This relationship is something that I try to cultivate with each of my clients as a basis for our work together. My approach with clients is psychodynamic, eclectic, and insight-oriented, which means we will be looking at recurrent patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Psychodynamics seeks to heal by gaining emotional insight into the connection between past difficult experiences and current problems. As in cognitive behavioral approaches, I look at the content of thoughts, but understanding how and why those thought patterns developed is critical. Please be aware that our first few sessions will be for us to get to know one another and to evaluate, together, if we are a good fit and can work together effectively to help you to heal. Once we gain an initial understanding of your issues and goals, we will come up with how we may best address them. The path to healing is different for everyone, and you and I will together find the approach that is the most effective for you. This may include coming up with self-soothing or coping strategies, understanding and analyzing dreams, or looking at the impact of early trauma. You are unique, and I will adapt how I work with you accordingly. You may have many questions and concerns if this is your first time working with a therapist. I am always open to these and hope you will feel empowered to give me honest feedback about how you would like us to work together. I am part of the Path referral network, which means that when you reach out, my team will get back to you quickly to schedule our first session. I am committed to making therapy affordable. Through Path, I am in-network for most commercial insurances, so you're only responsible for your co-pay!

Many of the college students I work with feel overwhelmed trying to balance everything—school, relationships, family expectations, and figuring out what they want for their future. They might struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, burnout, or just feel stuck. Some are navigating big transitions like moving away from home, managing independence, or exploring their identity. I work best with students who are open to talking things through honestly, even if they’re not exactly sure where to start. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s getting in the way, build coping tools, and help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.

I believe that each and every individual is unique, from the issues you face to the path in which life has taken you. I apply this idea to every client that I work with. I work hard to listen to your struggles, help you process the emotions you may be facing, and collaborate to find solutions that are going to be the best fit for you. I look for clients who are open to an equal amount of support and challenge from their therapist, as I believe both of those ideas are vital to making positive growth in life.

Creating a space for someone to feel supported and heard is my first priority. The most important aspect of a therapeutic relationship is the dynamic between client and therapist. When you truly feel comfortable and understood by your therapist then that is when therapy can thrive. The goal in the work we do is to focus on assisting you in healing so that you are able to use the space and time we have to decipher what would work best for you to move forward. Therapy is a place for you to unwind, unload and have an opportunity to speak your thoughts out loud, reflect and make sense of how you would like to proceed away from stress, anxiety, anger, melancholy or behaviors that are no longer useful and yet challenging to change. I have worked in the field of HIV, substance use and mental health for over a decade. Primarily working in community health centers and non profit organizations, I have had the honor of providing mental health services to homeless men and women, adults who are actively using substances and unsure of what changes they would like to make, if any, and with homeless youth who are struggling with a severe mental illness. My graduate education and training was started and completed in the Bay Area where I also taught mindfulness meditation through a research study at UCSF. I am a Latino Bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in the state of New York. I specialize in working with people, in both English and Spanish, who are struggling with Substance Use, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Sexual Identity, Coming out, Gender Identity & Transition, HIV-related issues, Relationship issues, Grief and Loss, Sexual Difficulties, Migration issues and adapting to a new country with a sensitivity to diverse cultural and spiritual backgrounds. In addition I also specialize in working with people who believe in non traditional sexual relationships and expressions. I am currently accepting new clients in the Flatiron District of New York City. If you are considering therapy or even just pondering on whether this is a right fit for you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I work hard to create a safe and inviting space for my clients to work on whichever problems they choose to bring into their sessions. My approach reflects my empathic, nonjudgmental, and compassionate style. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in treatment, as I believe that healing happens when there is a strong therapeutic alliance. I collaborate with and empower my clients to harness or reclaim their inner strength and power. I have experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship stressors, work/life stress, life transitions, and trauma.

I have experience working with children on the autism spectrum, as well as with ADHD, PICA, and OCD. I have also worked with students aged K-12 as well as college students.
