I’m a therapist-in-training and a Mental Health Counseling graduate student at Yeshiva University’s Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. I’ve worked with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and identity exploration. I feel deeply honored to support thoughtful, curious clients seeking clarity, connection, and a deeper understanding of themselves. Depending on what feels most helpful to you, I draw from a mix of approaches, including CBT, mindfulness-based strategies, psychodynamic modalities, and more holistic tools like somatic awareness and lifestyle-based supports.

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.” — Viktor Frankl. Welcome!

Hi there! I’m Muskan, and I am in my last year of my MSW program at East Texas A&M University, where my focus is mental health service provision to individuals and families.

Hi, I’m Nicole — a future LPC, current therapist-in-training, and someone who knows what it feels like to feel stuck and still dream of more. I know therapy can feel a little awkward or intimidating at first, so I aim to make it feel more like a real, honest conversation with someone in your corner. Basically, I meet you where you're at, and we figure things out together 0- from identity and anxiety to those ""what am I even doing with my life"" moments.
After several years in the public service sector, serving both federal and local government agencies, my passion for helping others led me back to the field of mental health. This time, with a focus on relational and couples therapy. My goal is to help clients understand how relationships impact our lives on a daily basis and provide them with support to better approach the challenges and stressors that accompany these interactions. Family systems therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and good humor all inform my practice, as I tailor my therapeutic approach to the needs of my clients.
I strongly believe in fostering a safe environment for clients to facilitate change by instilling confidence and drawing out their own capacity for growth. One of the key processes I value in a therapeutic setting is narrative-building. When I work with clients, I prioritize identifying events in their personal histories where we can collaborate to redirect focus from areas of disempowerment to moments of agency and choice. However, I am also conscious of structural barriers that may impact my clients’ readiness to embrace agency.
If you’re living with chronic pain/illness, anxiety, or carrying the heavy weight of past traumas, you know how isolating it can feel. As someone with lived experience, I see you, and I know what it’s like to grieve the life you thought you’d have, and the parts of yourself that no longer feel possible. In sessions, clients often describe me as having an “old soul”—calm, thoughtful, and present. My approach combines mind-body tools, parts work (IFS-informed), and existential reflection to help you feel safer in your body, more connected to your inner child, and more grounded in a sense of meaning.
It's normal to feel out of your depth and struggling in our often chaotic world. My name is Thaïs, and I'm here to map out a collaborate and healing environment as we navigate life. With warmth and compassion, my goal is to build a relationship in which we develop resilience in the face of anxiety, depression, family dynamics, uncertainty and all of the messiness that life can throw at us.
Have you ever felt like your thoughts are racing but the words just won't come out? Have you ever felt the anxiety of overthinking and overanalyzing? Or that despite knowing what you “should” do, making changes feels overwhelming? Perhaps you're navigating the complexities of interpersonal relationships, cultural identity, family expectations, or that persistent feeling that no one quite understands your experience. I want you to know that these feelings are deeply valid, and you're not alone in this journey.
I’m Tova, a Clinical Mental Health Counseling student at the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. My therapeutic approach is person-centered, relational, and psychodynamic.
