More about Terry

- LMHC
As a licensed therapist in New York, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients explore self-love, overcome communication challenges, and heal from past experiences. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to working with LGBTQ+ individuals, those managing stress and anxiety, and people processing trauma.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering clients to build resilience, develop meaningful connections, and rediscover their inner strength. I understand the unique challenges of social anxiety, isolation, and life transitions, and I'm committed to creating a supportive, affirming space where you can explore your experiences and personal growth.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients work through feelings of guilt, shame, and uncertainty while developing robust coping strategies. My approach is collaborative, honoring each individual's unique journey and supporting them in creating more fulfilling, authentic lives.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
