I believe meaningful healing begins when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood—without judgment or pressure to be anyone other than yourself. I work with individuals who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, stuck in familiar patterns, or as though they are constantly trying to navigate a world that was not designed with their needs in mind. This may include living with the effects of trauma, the daily “static” of ADHD, persistent anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or emotional exhaustion. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP). I also hold diagnostic privilege and have experience providing clinical supervision to Limited Permit clinicians working toward completion of their required hours. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. I believe in meeting you where you are while also helping you move toward where you would like to be. Together, we may focus on developing practical coping tools, understanding emotional and behavioral patterns, strengthening relationships, processing difficult experiences, and creating changes that feel realistic and meaningful for your life.

Hi! I'm Spencer, a social worker and certified alcohol and substance use counselor based in Brooklyn. I've been working in mental health and addiction since 2021. I've been a social worker in all sorts of environments with all sorts of clients and patients: residential, outpatient, inpatient, hospital, community clinic, private practice; adolescents, adults, geriatrics- you name it, I've worked it! This variety of exposure and experiences has given me some insight into all of the different issues that can bother us, and all the ways we can handle those issues. I've learned about the broad ranges of feelings we feel, and how to cope with those feelings in productive ways. I've also learned about how we can come to rely on unhealthy coping skills, and ways to transition into more positive and safer skills.

Rita LaBrew, LMFT, licensed in New York and New Jersey, brings extensive experience in foster care, child welfare, private practice, and telehealth. I provide a collaborative, thoughtful therapy experience grounded in clinical expertise and evidence-informed care. Together, we'll work toward greater insight, emotional resilience, and meaningful, lasting change. I work with adults who are ready to move beyond simply managing symptoms and are willing to explore the deeper patterns shaping their lives. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, family-of-origin concerns, life transitions, or longstanding emotional patterns, therapy offers an opportunity to understand not only what you're experiencing, but why. My approach is primarily psychodynamic, integrating psychoeducation to help make complex emotional experiences more understandable and practical. Together, we explore how early relationships, unconscious patterns, protective roles, and present-day experiences influence your emotions, relationships, and decisions. As insight grows, clients often find themselves responding to life's challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and intention. Clients often describe my style as thoughtful, direct, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where curiosity replaces self-criticism, where difficult experiences can be understood without judgment, and where lasting change develops through deeper self-awareness rather than temporary solutions. My practice is best suited for adults seeking ongoing outpatient psychotherapy and is not a fit for higher-acuity or crisis-focused care. I may refer clients whose needs would be better served by a higher level of care, specialized treatment, or services outside my scope of practice. Please note that I do not provide documentation or written support for court, custody, disability, or other legal matters, and my practice is not a fit for individuals seeking therapy primarily for court-related issues. My goal is always to help clients find the care that best meets their needs.

I graduated from Binghamton University with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and completed an M.S.Ed in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at St. John's University. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy, which will help you learn the tools to challenge patterns of thinking that leave you feeling stuck. By learning these skills, you will be more equipped to manage difficult relationships and tackle stressful life events. By shifting to an internal locus of control, you will finally begin to feel a sense of autonomy over your life. My style is to be more active during sessions, while being careful not to "advice give". You will always be in the driver's seat as we work together to better navigate problems.

Hi, I’m Catherine! I'm the kind of therapist that feels like talking with a friend. It's important to me that therapy doesn't feel too intimidating or scary - I want you to feel safe, supported, and understood while doing challenging yet rewarding work. My approach is using the lens of Polyvagal Theory, which means I focus on your nervous system and help you understand the different states of your nervous system and how to interpret the signals your body sends you to then meet your emotional and psychological needs. I also use person-in-environment (PIE) where we will look at how the environments you are exposed to play a role in your mental and emotional state because a lot of what we humans experience is appropriate responses to things we experience - therapy with me is learning how to move through those responses. A lot of the work is about finding safety within your body and gaining confidence by aligning with who you truly are. I’m originally from Nashville but now call New York City home. When I’m not with clients, I’m usually reading, wandering around the city, or at a Yankees game. And on occasion, my cats will join our sessions!

I believe healing begins when people feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we will explore the challenges you are facing while building on the strengths and resilience you already possess. My approach is collaborative, relational, and tailored to your individual needs. I integrate evidence-based practices with a holistic perspective, recognizing the connection between emotional, physical, and mental well-being. Whether you are looking for relief from overwhelming symptoms, support through a difficult life change, or a deeper understanding of yourself, I am here to help you move toward greater balance, wellness, and personal growth.

Freedom of mind. Don’t let worrying about your past or current life stressors take up any more free real estate in your mind. Worrying offers NO RETURN on your investment. I’m Andrea Onukwue! It’s a pleasure and privilege to welcome you to Freed Mind Consulting, LLC. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Psychotherapy Privileges licensed to practice independently in the states of MD, MO and NY. I provide individual therapy to adults only. For the past six years, I've had my full-time private practice. Over the past 20 years, I’ve practiced in a variety of settings and contexts, including as a practitioner, C-suite executive, employee assistance consultant, and senior executive leader. I’m dually credentialed as a psychotherapist and educational leader. I have extensive experience journeying with individuals from all walks of life as they seek greater clarity, wellness, fulfillment, and peace. My clients describe me as: Honest, easy to talk to, and highly competent in providing goal-directed care that achieves results. Levity and life application are always an integrated aspect of normalizing the treatment experience. My approach emphasizes cultivating a free mindset as essential to a healthy, productive, and enjoyable life. It also emphasizes improving communication, managing expectations, and establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries in interpersonal connections. Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is: Your telehealth session can occur in your own indoor or outdoor private space as long as you have a stable connection, are comfortable, and not operating a vehicle in your state of residence.

I identify as a proud Hispanic from the Dominican Republic, a Christian woman who was born in the U.S . While I lived in the Dominican Republic for some years, this experience allowed me to gain bicultural experience, which helped me connect authentically with diverse communities. I have 8 years experience working with individuals who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, and relationship issues. I am committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment where you can explore personal challenges and achieve mental health goals. I employ different therapy approaches based on your needs. Together, we will identify and change unhelpful thoughts, develop self-regulation skills, and navigate difficult relationships and situations. You will also learn how to process difficult memories, feel safe, regain control, and move forward in your life. If desired, I can also incorporate faith-based techniques to support your healing process.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
