With a wide range of clinical interventions and treatment approaches, we develop goals that are most helpful and tailored for each individual client (adult, teen, adolescent, or child), family, and couple based on their presenting concerns and needs. In a supportive and understanding environment, we can help you attain personal growth. Together with each client, we work to enhance your strengths and achieve your personal goals. Is Therapy right for me? Therapy is an opportunity for you to explore, reflect upon, and work to overcome issues or circumstances in your life with someone who can be objective yet very much invested in you becoming stronger, healthier, and happier. Counseling as a process is meant to challenge you to face and work through any difficulties you are experiencing because of either past, present, or future concerns. It is typically a weekly meeting between you and your counselor that gives you the space to have an open dialogue about what you are facing, confront your feelings in a more honest way, or to decide how you want to approach solving a problem in your life. The length of counseling is unique for each individual, depending upon on your needs and goals. Essentially, the counseling process is driven by you. We have two therapists at our facility, Bushra Husain, DSW LCSW, Maryum Khwaja, LCSW.

Welcome! I'm a New York-based psychotherapist specializing in diverse therapeutic modalities. I received my Master's in Social Work from Hunter College of Social Work and was awarded The Clark Foundation Fellowship from Baruch College. I have worked with both college and graduate students and love supporting young adults during these years in their lives, a transformative period that is often filled with both opportunities and challenges. I have worked with students who present with anxiety, depression, academic stress, and relationship concerns. My approach is grounded in empathy, active listening, and a strengths-based perspective, always aiming to empower students to take control of their mental health and personal growth. Together, we will work toward building resilience, improving mental health, and fostering personal growth during this important stage of your life.

In my practice, I partner with my client to discover how to ride the wave of life. With a person-centered approach, emphasizing unconditional positive regard, I strive to build an empathic environment which begins with the belief that all human beings have an innate need and right to express themselves. I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship and social skills. I offer a combination of traditional talk therapy with an emphasis on mindfulness and body awareness, with creative exploration through an array of artistic modalities. Techniques are tailored to each client’s comfortability and needs. Healing and change are often uncomfortable, but necessary for a joyful life. I look forward to being your advocate on this journey where you can expect to be seen and heard. Reach out for a free 15 minute phone consultation, so we can discover if this is a good fit for your healing.

I work best with students who feel overwhelmed on the inside even if they look “fine” on the outside. Many of my clients deal with anxiety, OCD, stress, or big life adjustments like starting college, managing classes, or navigating relationship difficulties. If you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or unsure how to handle everything on your plate, you’ll likely feel comfortable with me. I offer a warm, straightforward space to slow down, understand what’s going on, and build skills that make life feel more manageable.

I have 20 years of experience treating adolescents and adults. As a trauma-informed therapist, I offer a safe and compassionate space where healing begins through connection. My approach is grounded in the belief that deep, lasting change happens not just through insight, but through feeling seen, felt, and understood in relationship.

I use a warm and collaborative approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help my clients navigate life transitions, identity development, and manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and OCD. My goal is to help each person leave sessions with greater insight, practical tools, and an increased confidence in themselves and their ability to reach their goals. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe meaningful change happens when people feel safe, supported, and empowered to better understand themselves and who they want to become. I especially enjoy working with adolescents and young adults as they navigate one of life's most transformative periods. I have experience supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD and OCD-related symptoms, and life transitions. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trying to make sense of where you are in life, I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being your authentic self. My style is both validating and gently challenging. After we have established trust and safety, I am not afraid to ask difficult questions that encourage deeper reflection and growth. My hope is that every session leaves you with something tangible—whether it is a new strategy, meaningful insight, different perspective, or practical tool you can carry with you outside of therapy. My goal is to help you build resilience, trust yourself more deeply, and feel more equipped to navigate whatever comes next.

I have been a therapist for more than 30 years. I am compassionate, empathetic and supportive. I don't adhere to one particular therapeutic type, since one size doesn't fit all. I tend to be down-to-earth, and can offer practical advice, and when called for, a sense of humor.

Welcome! College can be an exciting and overwhelming time filled with transitions, pressure, and uncertainty. Whether you're navigating academic stress, anxiety, relationships, or big life decisions, you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize in working with young adults who are ready to better understand themselves, manage their emotions, and build confidence as they move through this chapter of life. My approach is down-to-earth, supportive, and tailored to meet you where you are — no pressure, just a space to be real and feel heard.

Learning how to navigate life as a young adult is hard! You are trying to balance the demands of work or school, family, and friends, all while figuring out who you are and who you want to be. As a driven and successful individual, you may put a lot of pressure on yourself and feel constrained by your own expectations. This can lead to constant self-doubt and feeling like you're always reaching for an unattainable (or unrealistic) goal. You may be overextending yourself to others, and not focusing on yourself. Perhaps you have negative thought patterns or behaviors that are causing discomfort or you don't always understand your reactions. Virtual therapy can help. Let's work together to discover the barriers that are keeping you from finding balance in your life - taking care of yourself and setting boundaries is not selfish!

The Rust Wellness approach to therapy is tailoring each session to fit the needs of the client and consistently reevaluating to meet their evolving issues and concerns. We know how difficult it is to open up about mental health topics, especially with a stranger, so we strive to establish a warm and inviting atmosphere that encourages our clients to share their vulnerabilities. Trust is incredibly important in a therapist-client relationship, so we aim to create an environment that will facilitate our clients’ comfort.

Hello! I am Dr. Amy Lee, I am a licensed clinical psychologist, a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA®), a member of the prestigious National Register of Health Service Psychologists organization, and a certified perinatal mental health expert. I have approximately 10 years working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Generally, my patients view me as someone who is transparent, humorous, and flexible in therapy. My "typical" patients tend to have difficulties regulating their emotions/impulses, tolerating stressful situations, and feeling overwhelmed and guilty about almost "everything." I have success with patients who have depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, work-related problems, family conflict, a history of trauma, relationship challenges, and social skills deficits. Please visit my website to get a feel of what I am like as a psychologist. I also provide one free 15-minute consultation to ensure that I can help you meet your goals, determine if we are a good fit, and answer any questions you may have about therapy.

College can be an exciting time, but it can also feel overwhelming. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, or low self-esteem while trying to keep up with academics, relationships, and expectations for the future. Maybe you’re navigating identity, big life transitions, or feeling unsure of where you fit. You want support that feels genuine, along with practical tools you can actually use in your day-to-day life. I’m here to help you make sense of what you’re going through, build coping skills, and feel more grounded and confident. I offer therapy exclusively online across New York State, with flexible scheduling so you can access support in a way that fits your busy college life.

My name is Dr. Suzanna Mila Chen. I am a Board-Certified M.D. psychiatrist and I run a private boutique practice in NY. My specialties are psychodynamic and CBT psychotherapy. I can also provide medication management to supplement psychotherapy only IF and WHEN it is appropriate and medically necessary. Through a holistic approach I also incorporate lifestyle changes and can add evidence-based supplements when needed. I have experience providing counseling to undergraduate and graduate students at Fordham University Lincoln Center, and providing therapy and at times medications for Albert Einstein College of Medicine students. I have a special interest in building confidence, reducing anxiety, improving work-life balance, addressing pathological perfectionism, addressing people-pleasing, supporting high-achieving students and professionals in their goals, healing emotional wounds from narcissistic parents and dysfunctional family dynamics in general, maneuvering relationships (including interracial and intercultural relationships), and navigating culture and identity. I also have further training in perinatal mental health from PSI. Please note that I do not take in-network for medication management only (ie without therapy).

We are a private psychotherapy practice that offers culturally competent counseling services to adolescents, adults and couples. Using a Cognitive Behavioral strength based approach we help clients cope with the difficulties of everyday life, medical problems, stress, depression, anxiety, bereavement, family or relationship issues, and other problems.

Before becoming a therapist, I was a college professor. My favorite part of the job was supporting students who were going through it, whether because of the transition of becoming a college student, or because they were experiencing mental health challenges for the first time--or a worsening of symptoms. I love working with clients who are dealing with perfectionism, people-pleasing/boundary setting, communication challenges (with family, roommates, friends, partners), general anxiety, social anxiety, depression, and OCD. I also have a lot of experience and passion working with clients navigating gender and sexuality, including being on the ace/aro spectrums.

I have done psychotherapy with graduate students, especially around relationship, bereavement (particularly early parental loss), anxiety and fertility issues for over twenty years. I believe that most emotional pain stems from both difficult life circumstances and how we perceive those events. I work in an open, warm and empathically challenging way to help people better explore, understand and wrestle with the issues that are keeping them from finding more peace, joy, freedom and fulfillment.
