More about Terry

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

As a licensed therapist in New York, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients explore self-love, overcome communication challenges, and heal from past experiences. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to working with LGBTQ+ individuals, those managing stress and anxiety, and people processing trauma.

My therapeutic work focuses on empowering clients to build resilience, develop meaningful connections, and rediscover their inner strength. I understand the unique challenges of social anxiety, isolation, and life transitions, and I'm committed to creating a supportive, affirming space where you can explore your experiences and personal growth.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients work through feelings of guilt, shame, and uncertainty while developing robust coping strategies. My approach is collaborative, honoring each individual's unique journey and supporting them in creating more fulfilling, authentic lives.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
