I’m a generalist clinician who helps clients explore and shift patterns that no longer serve them. I work with individuals navigating OCD, anxiety, grief, loss, and life transitions, including college students, young adults, and families adjusting to change. I offer a calm, collaborative space focused on your goals, using evidence-informed approaches like CBT to build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and support meaningful change. With over 20 years of experience and a Master’s in Social Work from Roberts Wesleyan University, I look forward to working with you.

I work with LGBTQ+ folks and anyone navigating trauma, OCD, anxiety, perfectionism, or big life transitions... like college students who are panic googling "what am I doing with my life??" at 2am. If you want to make sense of it all without judgment, basic "talk therapy," or silent nods behind a clipboard and want a therapist who keeps things chill, real, and sometimes even funny - I'm your girl. Whether you're spiraling over every “what if,” feeling stuck in patterns that stem from the past, or feeling like you’re losing your mind trying to figure out who you are & where you’re going, we'll work through this together.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist based in Brooklyn, New York, specializing in adult and adolescent individual psychotherapy as well as couples therapy. My areas of specialty include depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and cultural adjustment. I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy and integrate cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and mindfulness techniques. I also practice the Gottman Method and attachment-based couples counseling.

As a counselor, I base my approach on my academic knowledge, and real world experience. I attended therapy as a young adolescent due to a loud home environment and being bullied by my peers. I learnt that therapy is a place to further strengthen personal boundaries and ways for practice self expression. Everything that I teach my clients focuses on increasing trust in oneself. Trust yourself to be supported by your environment and to make the best decision in any given moment. Trust that whatever happens, you will be okay.

Therapy is a collaboration between therapist and client. My goal is to understand where you are at this moment in your life, help you to identify your goals and work with you, as a partner, to attain them. My approach to individual therapy is short term and goal oriented. I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address a wide range of problems (see problems treated below). These skills based approaches allow individuals to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, improve awareness of, and control over emotions, increase tolerance of difficult emotions, and enhance ability to live mindfully in the present moment. Throughout treatment we will monitor your progress and make any necessary changes to help you continue moving towards your goals. Therapy sessions are typically 45 minutes weekly, though this may vary based on the type of treatment. Therapy can be brief (12-16 sessions) or may last longer depending on your presenting problems and goals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice in midtown Manhattan. When I decided to go back to school for a master’s degree, I chose social work because I felt strongly about its foundational belief that focus should be on both a person and their environment. During graduate school at Fordham University I saw many appealing paths I could continue on after graduation. While both macro and micro levels of practice are extremely important, I felt best suited for work with individuals on a deeper level. I wanted to further my education and went on to complete the four-year postgraduate training program in Adult Psychoanalysis and Comprehensive Psychotherapy from The National Institute for the Psychotherapies. Prior to private practice I worked with a diverse population in various clinics throughout New York City. In addition to private practice I have been guest faculty at the Training Institute for Mental Health and taught a course on Eating Disorders. In March 2020, I completed a post master’s program in Spirituality and Social Work at New York University.

Learning how to navigate life as a young adult is hard! You are trying to balance the demands of work or school, family, and friends, all while while figuring out who you are and who you want to be. As a driven and successful individual, you may put a lot of pressure on yourself and feel constrained by your own expectations. This can lead to constant self-doubt and feeling like you’re always reaching for an unattainable (or unrealistic) goal. You may be overextending yourself to others, and not focusing on yourself. Perhaps you have negative thought patterns or behaviors that are causing discomfort or you don’t always understand your reactions. Let’s work together to discover the barriers that are keeping you from finding balance in your life - taking care of yourself and setting boundaries is not selfish! I provide virtual therapy to clients located in New York, Florida, and internationally.

Welcome! Thank you so much for being here. As a Dominican-American and first-generation college graduate, I understand the challenges of breaking generational barriers and the value of feeling truly supported. I work with children, teens, and adults, supporting them as they navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and life's many transitions. Please know that you don't have to face any of this alone. Together, we'll create a nonjudgmental, caring space where you can pause, reflect, and gently explore what's on your heart and mind at your own pace. I believe healing occurs when you feel safe, seen, and accepted for who you are. In our sessions, I offer empathy, curiosity, and patience, creating a supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. My approach blends Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to foster insight, trust, and tools for growth. Therapy isn’t about fixing you; it's about walking alongside you, helping you reconnect with your strengths, and creating a safe space for processing and transformation. Wherever you are on your journey, I’m here to support you. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I would be honored to connect. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

My therapeutic approach is grounded in collaboration, with the goal of supporting clients as they grow, explore, and integrate all aspects of their holistic selves in alignment with their personal values and goals.

In response, I offer a trauma-informed, intermodal framework that incorporates creative and expressive arts therapies alongside evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic techniques, neuroscience, and nutrition-based insights—tailored to each client’s unique needs and interests. Together, we work to build practical skills that foster intentional growth and healing from past experiences, empowering clients to move toward more fulfilling and connected lives.

Hi, I am Marline, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience working with Individuals from all walks of life. I understand that too often in life, we can feel isolated from our friends and family due to fear that they may judge our situations or decisions. This is where having a therapist can help. I can provide a nonjudgemental space for you to explore difficult or uncomfortable situations. I believe that we are all unique and there is no one size fit all technique thus one of my first steps is to hear your story, so that we can work together to formulate a plan, which truly works for you.

We specialize in individual therapy with adults who suffer from depression, anxiety, PTSD, medical diagnoses, racial conflict, life transitions, those who want to gain greater knowledge of self, and individuals who struggle with forming and maintaining relationships or boundaries. We have assisted both mxn and womxn work towards finding their sense of value while obtaining several ways to find healing. We are holistic trained therapists and an herbalist who works from a psychoanalytical lens that aids the process of further exploring, understanding, healing, and getting to the root of our problems. As a Haitian-American woman, I understand what it's like to be in an environment where mental health is not taken seriously. I pride myself on assisting adults to find a safe space to process their thoughts and life experiences. I have 7 years of clinical experience working with a diverse group of adults to build a stronger sense of self and confidence. Therapy is a journey. As the late Nipsey Hussle would say, "it's a marathon, not a race." However, in this regard, it's a marathon, a journey to greater awareness of self. As your therapist, I will respect your pace within the therapeutic alliance but I may also challenge you. I will support you and assist you in working towards changing your life narrative.

I'M A FIRM BELIEVER in the health of one's mind being a crucial factor in their ability to meet the demands of everyday life. It becomes a harder task to address stressful situations if you're already not feeling well. Think about moments when you might not have been able to focus at work, successfully study for an exam, or even effectively communicate your concerns to others due to how you felt mentally and physically. MY WORK AS A THERAPIST ENTAILS consistent problem-solving, reasoning, exploring, investigating, learning, and healing. I provide compassionate, supportive, encouraging, and challenging therapy that facilitates and promotes growth for people who seek to improve the quality of their lives. Reflecting on one's actions, highlighting the importance of self-awareness, and offering advisement on ways to improve the overall health of one's lifestyle are a few ways by which I aid individuals in achieving an enhanced experience of life. THROUGH THESE MEANS, the ability to focus at work becomes a bit easier, studying for an exam is not such a harrowing feat and effectively expressing your needs feels like more of a natural practice. All the while, paying special attention to your improved health both mentally and physically.
