Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, whether you’re looking for support right now or navigating an upcoming transition. My goal is to create a space that feels warm, welcoming, and genuinely safe for you to show up as you are. In our work together, we’ll focus on helping you better understand yourself and make changes that feel realistic and sustainable. Sessions may include both reflection and practical steps forward, depending on what feels most helpful to you. I recognize that societal systems, bias, and discrimination can have a real impact on mental health, relationships, and sense of self. As a queer-identifying therapist, I offer gender-affirming, celebratory care and work closely with individuals from marginalized communities. I often support clients navigating identity, relationships, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded, more confident, and better able to move through challenges with clarity. I have experience supporting both individuals and couples as they move through periods of change and uncertainty. Over time, clients often find they feel more connected to themselves, more secure in their decisions, and better able to handle what life brings. If you’re considering therapy, you don’t need to have everything figured out to reach out. Reaching out doesn’t commit you to anything. It’s simply a chance to see if this feels like a good fit.
You may have tried therapy, medication, or both and still feel caught in familiar patterns. Living with depression, anxiety, trauma, or addiction can be exhausting, especially when previous treatment has not brought the relief you hoped for. I offer a compassionate, collaborative space to understand what is keeping you stuck and explore a more personalized path forward. I am Michael Glaz, a New York-licensed mental health counselor and founder of MG Counseling Group. I work with teens and adults, including people facing complex trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), and treatment-resistant depression. Together, we look at your history, your goals, and what has or has not helped before. My approach integrates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), internal family systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and body-based methods. I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) when appropriate. Our work can help you understand persistent emotional and relationship patterns, process painful experiences, and develop practical ways to respond differently. We will shape the process together, with attention to your needs and pace. I offer individual and couples therapy in Manhattan and Woodmere, along with online sessions throughout New York. You are welcome to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to discuss what you are looking for and whether we would be a good fit.
I received my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Fordham University and have since been fulfilled each day by helping clients confront and overcome issues such as relationship stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, identity confusion, parenting challenges and more. I have helped many different types of individuals improve their quality of life by developing strategies they can use and maintain as they work to address their personal challenges. Change can sometimes feel scary, overwhelming, or out of reach, but I work to make sure my clients never feel alone. My primary goal is to create a productive, warm, and open forum that enables clients to feel safe and supported each step of the way. I have received special recognition for my work with the college population but have experience with clients of all ages. In my work with all individuals, I take a customized approach and continuously aim to identify interventions that can be taken to prepare you, and your loved ones for effective and lasting change. By joining and assisting you in your process of self-discovery and understanding, I hope to empower you and boost confidence in your unique abilities.

You’re probably known as the person who has it together. From the outside, you’re capable, successful, dependable, and handling all the things. But inside, your brain may feel like it’s running 47 browser tabs, and you can’t figure out which to close. Maybe you’re exhausted from being “fine,” stuck in perfectionism or overthinking, or carrying a mental load that would qualify as a second full-time job. You may be great at taking care of everyone else while having absolutely no idea what to do with your own needs. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to perform, achieve, fix, or have it all figured out. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York. I specialize in complex trauma and work with high-achievers, perfectionists, and parents who have learned to survive by being capable, responsible, accommodating, and in control. Using approaches such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work, we’ll explore the patterns underneath the coping without shaming the strategies that helped you get here. You don’t have to wait until you’re completely burned out to ask for help. Maybe you’re ready to understand why you can accomplish so much and still feel like you’re barely keeping up. Together, we can move beyond simply functioning and begin creating a life with more connection, flexibility, and ease. Let’s talk about it.

If you're ready to better understand yourself, break free from self-doubt, and create a life that feels more authentic, therapy can help. Together, we'll explore how your past experiences have shaped your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self. My goal is to help you develop emotional maturity, strengthen self-awareness, and learn to embrace the present instead of living in anxiety or fear of what might happen. You'll gain practical tools to set healthy boundaries, prioritize your own needs without guilt, and build a life guided by your values rather than your fears. My work is grounded in a person-centered approach. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you with curiosity, respect, and honesty. Therapy with me is collaborative and conversational. It does not have to feel stiff or clinical. Growth can include insight, practical tools, and even moments of humor. My goal is to help you feel more confident, grounded, and aligned with the version of yourself you want to become — not a “perfect” version, but a more authentic and self-assured one.

My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to empower and help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I offer a warm, safe and supportive environment, with a personalized approach tailored to each of my client's needs.
Starting therapy is a leap of faith; it means trusting someone to be there at vulnerable moments. Lauren BonHomme, Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), provides care across the lifespan. She earned her Master of Science in Nursing from La Salle University in Philadelphia. Lauren is passionate and deeply committed to supporting people affected by substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. She has experience working with clients across a range of clinical settings, and she enjoys partnering with individuals at different stages of recovery and along their mental health journey. Lauren believes in treating the whole person, not just symptoms. She works closely with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that align with their goals, values, and lifestyle. It’s her priority to build genuine therapeutic relationships and create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences and goals. Her approach emphasizes thoughtful medication management, education, and practical strategies that promote stability and long-term progress.
When triggered by the right stressors, the genes we are born with can lead to anxiety, depression, mood swings, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, hallucinations. And throughout life, we may experience abuse, neglect, loss, poverty, trauma and situations that make us feel “stuck.” Most stressors require support via therapy. Some respond better to medications. Whether it's ongoing therapy, medication, or a combination of the two, I will give you the evidence-based research. YOU will decide what's best for you.
Each of us has a unique story that reflects our life experiences and helps to shape our perspective of the world around us and how we view ourselves. Therapy is an opportunity to explore and understand your life story, heal from painful emotions, identify and build upon your strengths, and create lasting change to improve your overall sense of well-being. As your therapist, I aim to foster a warm, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment where you feel safe to engage in self-exploration and reach your goals. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have training and experience working with teensadolescents, adults, and families dealing with diverse challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, life stressors, low self-esteem, and justice involvement. My approach to therapy is both person-centered and integrative as I believe it is important for us to develop a strong therapeutic relationship while also considering your specific needs. It takes courage to seek a happier and more fulfilling life. I am here to support you as you take these steps toward positive change.
