Richard O’Garr is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MHC) with over 15 years of experience helping people who are struggling with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, stress, relationship conflicts, and addiction.
I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 13 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care in Massachusetts. I support adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood challenges, trauma-related concerns, and personality-related challenges. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, integrating psychotherapy with thoughtful medication management to support emotional well-being and long-term resilience.
Julia Rozin, M.A., is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) providing individual therapy and couples therapy in Ridgewood, New Jersey, and New York. Above all else, it is the relationship between client and therapist, the core of therapy, that heals. My focus is on understanding each person as a full human being, not just their symptoms or problems, but everything that makes them who they are. Everyone has an innate need to be seen and understood, so I create a space where you feel safe enough to share and to explore emotions, whether in individual sessions or relationship counseling.
I believe growth is not always comfortable, and difficulty does not automatically mean something is wrong. In therapy, I help clients become curious about the patterns, fears, beliefs, and old roles that may be keeping them stuck. Sometimes the obstacle is not a sign to turn around—it is the place where the deeper work begins. We may explore the boundary you are afraid to set, the grief you have postponed, the truth you have softened, the relationship pattern that keeps repeating, or the part of you that still confuses familiarity with safety. I used to think of transformation as the butterfly—the beautiful ending, the freedom, the moment when everything finally makes sense. But transformation is often the part before that. It is the cocoon. It is the dark, uncomfortable, sometimes messy work of making sense of our fortunes and misfortunes, our desires and doubts, our losses, fears, and old ways of surviving. Real change may ask us to sit with discomfort before we feel relief. To grieve what we are leaving behind before we know what comes next. To question beliefs we have carried for years and recognize that what once protected us may now be limiting us. My approach is collaborative, reflective, and practical. I help clients understand where their patterns came from, what those patterns once protected them from, and whether they are still serving them now. The goal is not to force change or pretend healing is easy. It is to help you move through the uncomfortable places with greater awareness, self-trust, and intention—so you can become the person you are ready to become and build a life based on what you choose, rather than only on what you learned to survive.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and certified sex therapist offering secure telehealth across Connecticut, New York, and Michigan. You’re probably not here because things are fine. Something in your intimate life, your relationship, your body, or your sense of yourself as a sexual person isn’t working the way you want it to. You’ve reached the point where you’re ready to actually do something about it. That takes courage. It tells me something important about you. I’m an LCSW and certified sex therapist. This work is the center of my practice, not a sideline. I focus on women’s sexual health, sexual and pelvic pain, desire discrepancy, postpartum concerns, menopause, and couples therapy for intimacy challenges. I also offer relationship therapy to LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and people in kink, polyamorous, or ethically non-monogamous relationships. Whatever brings you here, nothing requires an explanation or an apology. My approach is direct and clinically grounded. We start by naming what’s actually happening, not just the presenting problem, but the real thing underneath it: shame, avoidance, disconnection, grief. We work with what’s true. From there, we build language for the things that are hard to say. We work toward changes that actually hold. I practice as a mental health therapist via secure telehealth. This is a private-pay practice. If you’d like to learn more before reaching out, I encourage you to click the link to visit my website. Most people find it helpful to spend a few minutes there first.

At the heart of everything I do is this simple belief: you deserve to feel deeply known and accepted, exactly as you are. I know what it's like to feel stuck—caught between where you are now and where your heart longs to be. My role isn't to fix you (because you're not broken), but to help you discover the incredible strengths you already possess and use them as stepping stones toward the life you want.
We don't believe in an "ideal" or "good fit" clientpatient for care. People visit our office because of one or a combination of daily obstacles or hassles: These difficulties can be emotional, like persistent feelings of anxietydepression. Some people, it's the hurdles of navigating an existential andor major life transitions (like school, loss, work, a health condition). For some, it's the distress of communication and relationship conflict(s) that are unbearable (either at work, home, or with a partner). And some, they just want to end unmanageable unhealthy coping behaviors, like avoidance, isolation, emotional eating. We provide compassionate support. We are here to help you face life's challenges and improve your emotional well-being. We create a safe and supportive space for your healing and personal development. We work with your motivation to change, your open-mindedness, and honesty to start your journey towards a healthier mind today and every day.
Something has shifted. Maybe it happened gradually — a growing sense that the life you've built doesn't quite fit anymore. Maybe it arrived suddenly: a loss, a diagnosis, a transition that left you questioning everything you thought you knew about yourself. You're capable, reflective, even high-functioning — and yet underneath, something feels stuck, hollow, or quietly out of control. I work with adults who are done with surface-level fixes and ready to understand what's actually driving their anxiety, their patterns, and the gap between who they are and who they want to be. I draw on existential and humanistic frameworks because I believe the questions you're wrestling with — about meaning, identity, purpose, and loss — deserve to be taken seriously. I specialize in working with people navigating: - Anxiety and chronic overwhelm that no amount of productivity seems to fix - Life transitions and midlife reckoning — career shifts, identity questions, the feeling that the map you've been following no longer leads anywhere meaningful - Grief and loss — including illness, death, and the quieter losses that don't always get acknowledged - Self-doubt and self-worth — especially in high-achieving people who appear fine from the outside - Chronic illness and cancer — the psychological weight of living in an uncertain body I also hold a certification in Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY-F) — one of the most rigorously researched body-based trauma interventions available. For clients whose trauma lives in the body rather than in words, I can integrate movement-based work into our sessions in a way that most therapists simply aren't trained to offer. Therapy with me is a good fit if you're curious, willing to sit with complexity, and ready to do more than just cope — you want to actually understand yourself.
