If you're feeling stuck in cycles you can't quite explain and want to understand yourself more fully, I can help. With over 20 years in clinical practice, I provide psychotherapy and assessment for adults with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. My psychotherapy approach is psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed. Together, we will explore how your symptoms may have developed as adaptations to difficult life experiences, identify recurring patterns and discover where change is possible. Part of our work is developing a way of listening that tunes in not only to what is being said but also to what remains unspoken. I provide personality and adult ADHD assessments. In my view, assessment is not simply a way to assign a diagnosis, but an opportunity to answer longstanding questions and recognize strengths alongside patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I have a particular interest in working with adults from immigrant backgrounds. Living between cultures can leave you feeling unsure where you belong or wondering how to stay true to yourself while remaining connected to your family and community. I offer a culturally attuned and respectful space where these experiences can be explored with self-compassion.

I have clinical experience at a large university counseling center in New York, and my time there made me realize how much I like working with college students of all kinds. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing adjustment issues, relationship distress, stress-related problems, trauma effects, depression and mood dysregulation, and life transitions. I emphasize an integrative, eclectic approach to healing and wellness that includes psychodynamic psychotherapy and mind/body awareness. I'll help you explore feelings, sensations, and past experiences, making sense of what we discover and creating the changes necessary for a more vibrant life.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring considerable expertise to my position as a provider in an outpatient substance abuse clinic. With a solid background in psychiatric emergency room and inpatient care, I have refined my abilities over 7 years in high-patient volume settings. This experience has equipped me to better recognize and attend to the needs of individuals struggling with substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and general psychiatric disorders.

I work with people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change—people who want to feel confident, connected, and in control of their lives. Many of my clients are seeking support for depression, anxiety, eating disorders, body image concerns, relationship challenges, or low self-esteem. My goal is to help you move toward a healthier, fulfilling version of yourself. Many of my patients are readers. When desired, I suggest novels that offer insight, perspectives, or emotional connections to themes we’re exploring in therapy. This creates a meaningful and creative pathway to growth. Curious? Follow The Character's Toolkit on IG Therapy with me is a collaborative process. We’ll start by identifying your strengths and any patterns—whether in thinking, behavior, or relationships—that may be holding you back. From there, we’ll use evidence-based strategies to build healthier, more sustainable ways of coping and engaging with life. I see patients online in New York and Virginia, and in person or online in Missouri. I've been in private practice for 10+ years. Before that, I worked in inpatient, PHP, and IOP settings.

I'm Dr. Akeisha Rivera and I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). I specialize in helping couples overcome infidelity, affairs, constant fighting, a lack of intimacy, and emotional disconnection. I do this by helping you communicate in a safe, nonjudgmental space and by providing you with tools to help you thrive within your relationship.

As your therapist, I will be there with you every step of the way. You can trust me to be fully engaged in your process and growth. Through years of experience, I know that no problem is too great to overcome. I do this work because of my genuine desire to help couples connect so that life's challenges only bring them closer. Let's talk about how I can help your relationship thrive.

It's hard to change - but with support it becomes possible. You might be struggling with difficult thoughts like "what if my family never accepts my life choices - will they ever accept me?" Perhaps you're battling indecisiveness and fear about whether you're "good enough" to succeed, preventing you from reaching your aspirations and goals? Or maybe you feel confident and successful at times, but at other moments as if your shield for taking on the world is paper-thin? I specialize in the management of anxiety, fear, and depression - especially during times of actual or desired transition - that show up as feeling stuck or uncertain in your personal and professional life. My practice provides a safe and supportive environment to explore your challenges, resolve your concerns and help you get back to living your life again. I am able to accept both Aetna and Independent Health insurance plans.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a private practice in New York and California. I specialize in the treatment of disordered eating, eating disorders, and body image dissatisfaction using a weight-inclusive approach. My work is guided by a Health at Every Size® philosophy and I believe all people deserve to feel safe in their bodies. I also enjoy supporting clients in navigating LGBTQIA identity, religious trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and adjustment disorders.

Starting college or graduate school —or navigating your way through them—can be both exciting and overwhelming. Many students find themselves facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity questions, academic pressure, or major life transitions, often for the first time. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I specialize in working with college students and young adults, and I understand the unique pressures of university life—from managing expectations and finding your place, to coping with self-doubt, loneliness, or burnout. Whether you’re struggling or simply wanting to better understand yourself and grow, therapy can be a space where things begin to feel more manageable and more hopeful. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe that meaningful change happens in a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship, where you feel safe to be yourself and explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. Together, we’ll work at your pace to better understand your experiences, build resilience, and develop tools that help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity. I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, including working in university counseling centers, where I supported students through many of the challenges you may be facing now. I’ve worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and identities, and I am committed to creating an inclusive, affirming space where you feel seen and respected. I also have experience working with international students, students with disabilities and chronic health conditions, Deaf and hard of hearing students, and those navigating complex family or cultural dynamics. Reaching out for support can feel like a big step—but it can also be the beginning of feeling more like yourself again. You deserve support, understanding, and a space to grow. I would be honored to be part of that process with you.

Welcome! Seeking help when a life issue is bringing you pain is a courageous first step in your healing process. I am of the belief that healing and change are a process that is nurtured through a therapeutic relationship that is respectful, mindful and supportive, which is what I will provide to my clients.

I look forward to working with you! *Currently I am only scheduling tele health sessions (On-line counseling) until further notice.

I am a licensed mental health counselor specializing in working with adolescents and young adults (ages 13 and older) across various biological, psychological, and social backgrounds. My goal is to help you understand yourself within the context of your unique life experiences as you navigate mental health struggles. These may include emotional/behavioral dysregulation, communication challenges, life transitions, academic/work stress, grief/bereavement, LGBTQAI+ issues, harm reduction in substance use, and other day-to-day life stressors. The therapeutic alliance between therapist and patient is the most important part of therapy, and I am passionate about building that foundation of trust with you. Working together, you can expect an empowering, non-judgmental environment with a little sense of humor sprinkled in. I use a warm, welcoming, and person-centered approach to meet you where you’re at in your healing journey, allowing me to tailor my style and interventions to your therapeutic goals and needs. These interventions include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavior Therapy, and more structured approaches to best help you meet your therapeutic goals. My path to becoming a therapist began one week into college, when I decided to switch my major from studio art to psychology. The motivation to make this drastic change and give psychology a try came from my own intuition and feeling like I had natural qualities of empathy and introspection. This journey of self-discovery deepened my commitment to helping patients identify what a life worth living and feeling of purpose looks like for them. My journey led me to work in a community agency as a therapist, where I found that my patients’ demographics were very different from one another and, as such, deserved their own unique approaches and integrated mix of interventions. Now, I am passionate about bringing that same energy to my practice at SOL Mental Health! Outside of sessions, I like to enjoy a wide range of hobbies, such as painting, hiking, playing the ukulele, and going to live music concerts.

Hi, I’m Kayla Cunningham! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and for the past 10 years, I’ve been helping people work through life’s challenges and changes. College can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming — juggling classes, friendships, family expectations, and figuring out what’s next isn’t always easy. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly about whatever’s on your mind, without judgment. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, relationships, big transitions, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to meet you where you’re at and help you find tools and strategies that actually fit your life. I believe the relationship we build is one of the most important parts of counseling. I’ll take the time to get to know you, understand what you’re going through, and adjust my approach to what you need — because there’s no one “right” way to do this.

Welcome - I'm so glad you're here! I know finding a therapist can be daunting, but it is so worth it when you find someone you can trust.

Clients from all walks of life are welcome. I value clients' diversity and aim to treat each individual as holistically as possible.

I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and families through a wide range of mental health challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe in creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. My clinical background includes extensive work in high schools, outpatient mental health settings, and substance abuse treatment programs. This diverse experience has given me a deep understanding of the complex issues individuals and families face today. I specialize in working to help individuals and couples address and manage anxiety, depression, life transitions, family/relationship issues, and self-esteem concerns. Utilizing an eclectic approach from a strengths-based perspective, I help clients to explore their difficulties, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and develop insight to achieve their personal goals. If you’re ready to begin this journey, or even just considering it, I invite you to reach out. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I am a licensed psychologist and I support individuals and couples facing trauma-related mental health concerns, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and a wide range of identity concerns. At the heart of my work, I create empathic connections with the individuals I work with—creating spaces for them to explore and express all of themselves, and to feel seen, understood, and connected while doing so. Broadly, my approach is collaborative and compassionate, helping you understand what’s holding you back and develop new ways of being that foster empowerment, authenticity, and meaningful change. I work from a psychodynamic, trauma-informed perspective, which means we will explore how your experiences in your family, community, and culture have shaped how you see yourself, your relationships, and the world. I will encourage you to bring a curious developmental lens to our work and deeply consider the coping strategies you may have had to develop in your life in order to feel safe, connected to others, and worthy. Together, we will determine if these strategies are still helpful. When they aren't, we will creatively develop newer ways of being that feel meaningful and aligned with your goals. Throughout this process, we will be particularly attentive to the impact of socioeconomic, cultural, and political factors on your development and possible connections to present day challenges. I also regularly draw from somatic and cognitive-behavioral approaches, because lasting change often requires attending to the body, our narratives, and our behavioral patterns. Through this process, many people come to recognize unhelpful cycles in their lives and discover more fulfilling ways to move through challenges. Above all, I emphasize self-compassion as we work together, so that you can approach difficult or painful areas of your life with greater kindness and resilience.
