As a Rapid Transformational Therapist , I'm passionate about helping individuals rewire their brains to project positive images and words. I believe in the power of beliefs—first you make your beliefs, and then your beliefs make you. My mission is to empower others to break free from limiting beliefs and unlock their true potential. I chose to become an RTT therapist because I find the approach both creative and innovative, and I'm excited to work with clients to help them improve their lives. I can help you identify and overcome negative thought patterns that may be holding you back. By becoming more attuned to your beliefs, you can create a brighter, more positive future for yourself. Let's work together to unleash the best version of you!
My goal and passion as a therapist is to help you maximize your potential to lead a full and satisfying life. Often, barriers get in the way of this, and it can be easy to get stuck on what to do next. Going through a major life change can often create or reinforce these barriers, causing difficulty in relationships, impairment in emotional health, and loss of identity. In our work together, I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental, and respectful environment, allowing you to delve into the source and patterns of your difficulties. With this new understanding of who you are, we will collaboratively work on developing new strategies, coping skills and adaptive behaviors that will enable you to live the life you want to live.
My name is Lucy, and I’m a Gestalt therapist and Level 1 internal family systems (IFS) therapist practicing in New York and Washington. My practice is open to individuals, couples, and non-monogamous and poly relationships. I’m an LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed, and experientially oriented therapist, and I support clients of all genders, sexualities, bodies, and racial and cultural identities. I specialize in supporting clients who want to address attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) and its impacts on daily living and relationships, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, emotional and nervous system dysregulation, trauma, religious trauma, grief and loss, attachment wounds, life and relational transitions, and gender-affirming care and sexuality exploration. I utilize a non-pathologizing model, treating your lived experience with compassion and an understanding of systemic impacts in order to build internal ease. I’m currently 100% virtual and use telehealth to support our work together. I’m a firm believer that we all deserve a place to feel loved, supported, acknowledged, fought for, , above all, celebrated. We have an incredible and powerful ability to learn, heal, grow, and thrive when given a chance, or when we give ourselves permission to acknowledge our own fears, patterns, and shame, and then take a leap to move through them toward healing. My approach recognizes internal challenges as well as the world’s impact on you, and I meet you where you’re at with compassion, acceptance, care, mindfulness, and a bit of humor. We are products of our environment, our families, and our ancestral history, and within the therapeutic space, we can support the past, recognize its effect in the present, , with awareness, support changes for the future.
Are you feeling emotionally overwhelmed or stuck? If so, notice that you've already moved in a positive direction by searching for a therapist to help you overcome obstacles and guide you toward greater fulfillment. Change is not always easy, but it is always possible. Often, uncomfortable feelings or aspects of ourselves that we'd rather not confront get in the way. We hope to protect ourselves through avoidance, and yet avoidance is often the very reason we can't move forward. Whether you're dealing with anxiety or depression, relationship difficulties, family conflict, life transitions, job or school stress, or painful experiences from your past, we can work together to address your concerns. We will uncover the meaning you attach to your thoughts, feelings and experiences so that you can consider alternative perspectives and choices to help you progress. I'll work with you to clarify your goals, identify steps to get there, and meet challenges along the way. We will take it one step at a time and work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. I invite you to take the next step to contact me via phone or e-mail, or visit my website: www.drleesaltzman.com and simply click the "Schedule a Consultation" link. I look forward to meeting with you to determine how I can help you get on track.

Most patients describe me as very helpful, warm and insightful. I will tailor a treatment to your needs and pick the best therapy modality for you. I will then match you with a therapist in my practice whose personality and modality of therapy are the most effective for you. You will, therefore, get great help right away and get the most effective treatment for someone who is a great match for you. My patients love this model and I hope that you do too.

The relationship between psychotherapist and client is of utmost importance in my practice- feeling understood, accepted and not judged. With my extensive experience in the field both as a practitioner and a teacher, having a foundation of knowledge of human psychological development and unconscious processes is requisite to being able to listen to and understand what people are expressing, both within their awareness and what may not be accessible to them without professional help. I work with each person based on what their individual needs are.

Hello, my name is Janet Pierre-Toussaint. I mainly prefer the person-centered approach to address specific needs. My style is direct, polite, respectful and caring. My approach to therapy is not one theoretical method. I use an eclectic approach utilizing techniques that are best suited for helping others empower themselves, ranging from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and more. In our sessions, you'll feel supported, heard and guided in a collaborative process. We'll work together to explore your thoughts, behaviors and emotions, identify patterns and develop practical strategies for change. You'll gain tools for self-awareness and emotional regulation, within a safe space. I also provide Clinical Supervision to LSW or LPC who are in pursuit of their clinical license. With over 12 years of experience as a licensed social worker in both NY and NJ. I have hold additional certification in crisis intervention, trauma-informed therapy, specialize in helping professionals manage compassion fatigue and burnout, addiction and anxiety disorders in various populations. I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, stress management and much more. A typical treatment plan involves a combination of talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques and personalized coping strategies to address specific concerns. Throughout the process, we'll work together to set goals, monitor progress and adjust the approach as needed. My goal is to create a safe and collaborative space where you will be able to feel seen and heard. Therapy, with me, will be a non-judgmental environment created to make you feel comfortable and confident to begin your journey to wellness.
Change is the only constant in life, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is easy! Pain is an indicator that something isn't working and it is time for change. Like most things worthwhile, change requires hard work. Guiding you through the process of change is my lifework. Whatever your struggle, I'm here to work through it with you --you are not alone! The purpose of psychotherapy is to help you improve your life by making meaningful changes. A good therapist should, first and foremost, be able to help you reduce the immediate distress that has pushed you to look for treatment. Once that initial relief is accomplished, the way is then cleared to focus on the bigger-picture of your life: your beliefs and feelings about yourself and others, your interpersonal style, the usual ways in which you protect yourself from getting hurt, the influence of your childhood experiences, and many other factors, including highlighting and using your hard-won strengths, all with the aim of bringing about changes that lead to lasting improvements in quality of life.
Many people come to therapy because they feel "stuck". You may not believe it right now, but you are the expert on your life. Therapy is one way to help you navigate toward your personal sense of freedom. Everyone must struggle through ups and downs, but when your thoughts or emotions begin to stand in your way, then it may feel like you will always be ruled by your feelings. My job is to help you find out how your thoughts and emotional life can serve you and help you find motivation to change what doesn't work for you and then... go out and live your life! I try to help my clients through strength-based therapy that can be exploratory (long-term) or solution focused (short-term). Contact me to find out more.
