It is my sacred honor to help people with their deepest and most personal issues: their ancient wounds, in their lives within and without; their deepest hopes and fears, dreams and longings, and the blocks that interfere with creating their lives and finding and birthing their Selves. It saddens me deeply to see our world being offered "quick fixes," "bandaids," and "get over it" or "transcend it" philosophies for dealing with life's deepest wounds and traumas. It saddens me to see people being offered symptom "management" instead of real healing -- managing thoughts, feelings, and more -- leaving the real wound beneath the symptom, beneath the surface to continue to haunt them in their lives. It saddens me to see our world encouraging people to repeat as adults what they did as children - repress their feelings and find defenses to keep them away. For children, this is sanity- and life-saving. For adults, this is society degrading feeling and keeping us emotionally stuck, emotionally unmatured. For adults, this is society working against our healing, our growing, our transforming, our becoming all we can be. It saddens me to see us go 'round and 'round the vicious cycle of cause and effect when we leave our own individual wounds unhealed -- deeply affecting the state of our world and our country -- and then when the state of our world and country, in turn, triggers those same unhealed wounds within us. I bring to clients a message of lasting healing, healing to the root. I help people find and claim their own wounds, commit themselves to the real work of healing inside and out, work at their organic rhythm and pace to build their capacity to feel, and more. I also help people recognize the link between their individual healing and the healing of our planet. With a passion for safety and for healing to the root, I am committed to helping heal and transform our world one-by-one and on a global scale.

I believe effective mental health care begins with listening carefully and understanding the whole person, not simply identifying symptoms. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I take time to understand each patient’s experiences, concerns, cultural background, personal values, and treatment goals so we can develop a plan that feels both clinically appropriate and personally meaningful. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing concerns such as depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), bipolar challenges, psychosis, trauma, mood-related challenges, and substance use. Depending on each patient’s needs, treatment may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management, supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and practical coping skills. I strive to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel comfortable discussing difficult experiences. When spirituality is important to a patient, I welcome incorporating it into treatment. My goal is to help each person better understand what they’re experiencing, strengthen their ability to manage challenges, and make meaningful progress toward greater stability and well-being.

I am a multi-state-licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with almost a decade of experience and while I'm based in New England, I am licensed in multiple states (MA, NY, TN, FL, NH, VT, ME) and meet via telehealth for your convenience. I strive to be warm, validating, and honest, helping you rediscover your values, and find joy in your identity. My approach is relaxed and honest, light-hearted but serious when needs must, and I'm a real person with a real life who also happens to be a therapist — not a stiff AI projection of a “therapist” like you see on TV. I really enjoy helping people, just like you, who feel burnt out, anxious, overwhelmed, and sick of the life they've found themselves living. You might be looking for some anxiety coping skills, ways to get out of that soul-crushing job, identity exploration, or need someone to just listen as you verbally process through something. Many of my clients also self-identify as perfectionistic, type-A, overcontrolled andor achievement-driven. More personally, I'm a sucker for the color blue, SNL cast members breaking character, a super laminated croissant, and a bouquet of fresh flowers in my kitchen. I'm a proud elder millennial and I love a good pun. If we work together, you're more than likely to meet my golden retriever, Teddy, who is the absolute goodest boy imaginable (and no, I'm not biased — I only used peer-reviewed methodologies in my practice ;).

I am a dedicated and skilled Christian counselor with experience providing care for children, teenagers, and adults.

My goal is to help you heal and build a more functional life. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Rhode Island. I provide Christian counseling, and I also speak Haitian Creole.

Danielle Baliva is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with over 6 years of professional experience working with individuals, families, adolescents, and children seeking treatment for a variety of challenges, such as depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, and posttraumatic stress (PTSD).

I believe that all individuals matter and are worthy of having joy, respect, success, positive health, pleasure and fulfillment, in all aspects of their life. I believe each person is entitled to a healthy sexuality, emotional and physical safety, access to information and resources as desired, a positive view of self, and the right to express this self with authenticity. I approach therapy with this vision in mind, and practice with a warm, curious and non-judgmental stance, aiming to create a safe space where individuals and couples can work through their challenges. I value supporting people in recognizing their own strengths and abilities, and to view themselves and the world as full of possibilities. I am interested in learning about what brings you to therapy, and collaborating with you to craft a treatment plan that will effectively meet your needs and improve your quality of life. I work well with people who are motivated to experience positive change, committed to the therapy process and who understand that they are the most vital piece of their puzzle in uncovering and understanding personal barriers. I would be honored to be part of your journey and would commit myself to provide the type of support that will be most useful for you at this time.

You may be looking for help because your teenager or young adult feels overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, emotionally reactive, withdrawn, or uncertain about how to move forward. School stress, ADHD, changing relationships, greater independence, family tension, or the transition to college and adulthood may be affecting daily life. As a parent, you may also be unsure how to remain supportive without taking over. At Psychological Services of New York, my clinical team and I work with teenagers, college students, young adults, parents, and families throughout Westchester. My approach is practical, collaborative, and individualized. I take the time to understand the whole person and how emotional concerns, relationships, family dynamics, school, work, and developmental changes may be influencing one another. Therapy should not feel rigid or scripted. I use an integrative approach that draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, humanistic and person-centered care, behavioral strategies, and lifestyle-based interventions. This allows treatment to be tailored to your needs, strengths, goals, and stage of life rather than forcing one method onto every client. Our work may involve understanding patterns, developing practical coping skills, strengthening relationships, improving emotional regulation, and building greater confidence and direction. When appropriate, I also work with parents to help them better understand what their child is experiencing and find a healthier balance between support and independence. Whether the concern involves anxiety, ADHD, depression, school or college stress, emotional regulation, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, family conflict, or another important life transition, the goal is to make sense of what is happening and develop realistic steps toward meaningful change.

Busy people get it all done and and take care of others. You have spent years being the strong one, the peacemaker, and the one who always puts others first. You are tired of carrying so much and want to feel better and meet your own goals. You want joy, happiness and peace. Do you have stress, anxiety, or feel overwhelmed? Do you have patterns you know you do over and over again that you want to change? Do you feel you are an over-thinker? Do you have difficulty unwinding or relaxing? Do you spend a lot of time helping others? Is there something bothering you that you can't seem to get past? Most of what drives our behavior exists under the surface from old experiences and memories where we had a take-home awareness. When the unconscious becomes conscious we are more able to make changes faster and with less difficulty. Memories, experiences, and life experiences can block or impact future goals. Reach out! You've always been the strong one, the helper, the one who wants just peace and ease, and the one who keeps it all together. You know your own needs, and wants have gotten lost or been pushed aside somehow and you are finding it is time for something more. You want to feel calmer, lighter and more connected to yourself. I help women release emotional blocks, old wounds, people pleasing, perfectionism, family dynamics, life transitions, grief, loss and traumatic experiences so they can step into lives that feel fulfilling, peaceful and aligned with who they truly are. My approach blends compassionate, attuned listening with tools like EMDR, and EFT tapping to help you uncover what's been holding you back and gently let it go. We work at your pace creating space for healing that feels safe, grounded and deeply supportive. Together, we'll explore your patterns, beliefs, and emotions, not just to cope with them, but to transform them. so you can feel at home in your own life again. I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you get started today!

In high-stakes environments getting over it is not a strategy, it is a liability. True resilience is not found in suppressing stress, but in mastering the nervous system that governs your decision-making, creativity, and presence. While traditional talk therapy addresses the mind, complex stress and burnout are physiological. They reside in the nervous system, areas often inaccessible to logic and conversation alone. I provide a sophisticated, integrative approach for individuals who require more than just a sounding board. I integrate Somatic Experiencing with Creative Arts Therapy to bridge the gap between cognitive insight and physical regulation. We move beyond survival mode and into a state of expanded capacity. This is not about fixing what is broken; it is about optimizing your internal architecture for connection, resilience, and sustained ease. Core Areas of Expertise Executive Burnout & Nervous System Regulation: Rewiring a system stuck in high-cortisol fight or flight to restore mental clarity and physical vitality. Relational Intelligence & Boundaries: Navigating complex interpersonal dynamics and attachment patterns to enhance both professional and private leadership. High-Stakes Transitions: Maintaining an internal home and sense of self during significant career pivots, identity shifts, or personal loss. Complex Trauma Resolution: Utilizing a paced, somatic approach to process deep-seated wounds without compromising your daily functioning. Our work is collaborative, discreet, and highly specialized. Whether we are utilizing movement to release chronic tension or creative visualization to solve unspoken blocks, the process is tailored to your specific pace and lifestyle. We do not just discuss your narrative; we transform the physical experience of your life.
