Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in New York

Hello, I am a dual certified psychiatric mental health and family nurse practitioner with years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. I have a passion for helping individuals.

I began my psychiatric nursing career after graduating from Columbia University School of Nursing in 2009. Several years later, I pursued an advanced practice degree, also at Columbia University, and earned a PhD. I lived in Poland and France before I arrived to the United States at the turn of this century. Given my international experience, I work in three languages: English, French, and Polish. I offer therapy and medication management and the clients and me decide on the best approach.

I'm a Queer, ADHD, Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specializes in Queer and Neurodivergent care.

I primarily work with teens and adults and have experience working with trans and gender diverse clients, including writing surgery support letters. I'm a Polyamory and Kink knowledgeable clinician.

I'm a huge nerd and in addition to my Master's in Mental Health Counseling I have a second Master's in Sexuality and undergraduate degrees in English and Adolescent Sexuality.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's degree from Columbia University School of Social Work. My work has focused on supporting adults living with serious mental illness across diverse settings—from outpatient therapy and crisis respite to reentry services and multidisciplinary treatment teams. This breadth of experience has taught me that meaningful change happens when people feel respected, heard, and truly understood.

Welcome!

Mental well-being is a top priority because it is the key that opens the door to a happy, healthy, and stable life. Life can be full of unpredictable circumstances and events that leave us feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, stressed, anxious, or depressed. Experiencing one, or all, of these starts to negatively impact critical areas such as sleep, work, self-motivation, personal relationships, or lead us to start engage in unhealthy outlets. It also makes us feel all alone and emotionally trapped. Reaching out for help can initially feel uneasy and it is a difficult task, but be proud of yourself that you are taking that first step! I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with clients aged 13 to 75 with a main focus on working for you, your needs, and how to achieve your goals to live a happy, healthy, and stable life. Specialty areas include anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, Acute and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, relationships, couples/marital counseling, sexual issues, employees of law enforcement agencies, and forensic based testing.

I have full diagnostic privileges as a LMHC. I have worked in a variety of settings and with a variety of different populations including those with trauma and substance abuse histories and those who struggle with severe mental ill diagnoses
