Override Hero Title

Hello! I am a Columbia-trained and Columbia-affiliated psychiatrist who specializes in psychodynamic psychotherapy.

In life, we all experience challenges. Sometimes all you need is extra support and someone to help guide you through difficult times. If you are experiencing anxiety, fears, stress, anger, depression, adjustment issues, relationship issues, or loss of a loved one, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Therapy can be a powerful next step toward your healing and growth. I am a NY Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a NJ Licensed Professional Counselor. I provide therapy in person at my office in Staten Island and virtually in a private space.

Hi, I'm Ruthellen, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 28 years of experience supporting people through some of life's most challenging moments. Mental health has always been personal to me — watching my own family navigate those struggles is what called me into this work, and giving back to my community is what keeps me going. Outside of the office, you'll find me cheering on my favorite teams or staying active, because I truly believe movement and joy are part of the whole picture.

Hi there and welcome!

My priority is supporting clients on their journeys towards personal healing & growth.

In 2010, I received my MSW/LMSW. While doing outpatient clinical work at the NYC non-profit agency JBFCS, I became an LCSW. In 2016, I began to establish my private psychotherapy practice, focusing on young and professional adults presenting with a broad variety of life challenges.

In an open, empathetic and judgement free space you will learn to look within and truly understand the struggles and symptoms you're facing and the effects they may be having on your body, mind and soul. By utilizing different therapeutic treatments (CBT, DBT, Mindfulness) we can work towards growth and living a full and meaningful life!

If you have ADHD, you’ve probably spent your life being told—or telling yourself—that you are lazy, messy, inconsistent, or just don't listen. You’ve likely tried the planners, the apps, and traditional talk therapy to "fix" these things, only to end up feeling burned out and frustrated by the grind.

I do things differently. I don’t view your ADHD as a flaw to be cured; I view it as a powerful engine. My approach bridges deep nervous system regulation with a mechanical framework based on the Law of Assumption.

The reality of your life—your career, your stress levels, your relationships—is simply a mirror reflecting your Self-Concept. If you assume that life has to be a chaotic struggle or that you are inherently "falling short," your reality will continue to reflect that back to you.

In my practice, we don't just talk about the struggle or dwell in the past. We act as detectives to find the core assumptions running the show. Together, we identify what you actually desire, rewrite the assumptions that are keeping you stuck, and use somatic energy work like EFT/Tapping to calm your nervous system when your brain tries to resist the shift.

With over 19 years of counseling experience, I understand how difficult it may be to take that first step to enter therapy. I believe that people are capable of making life changes, sometimes needing support and guidance. Oftentimes, natural supports surround us, we are just unaware of how to tap into them.

I'm Dr. Iryna Krotava, a licensed clinical psychologist. I specialize on relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, sexuality, life transitions, and multicultural issues.

Thanks for visiting my page. I’m Esteban, and I bring over 30 years of experience in the human services field and more than a decade as a licensed therapist. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, bipolar disorder, panic disorders, grief and loss, relationship struggles, identity questions, and stress management. I also support clients exploring men’s issues and LGBTQIA+ experiences, always with an open, affirming, and respectful perspective.

At the heart of my work is a simple goal: helping people reach their highest potential in life. Many of the people I work with want to better understand their past experiences, make sense of their emotions, and begin making meaningful changes. My style is holistic, open-minded, and affirming, and I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel respected and supported.

As a seasoned psychotherapist for over 18 years, and as a director of several mental health agencies, my goal is to provide a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship to meet the unique needs of each client. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate, space for my clients. Supporting and assisting my clients on their journey to lead a more productive and positive lifestyle.

I am committed to helping clients achieve a richer sense of self and to develop more fulfilling relationships through a supportive and nurturing environment. Ultimately, providing a path to independence, resilience and a more meaningful life.

My role is to help my clients gain clarity by utilizing effective coping strategies and building the tools necessary to cope with and navigate life’s challenges.

I offer a wide range of services to help individuals overcome anxiety, addiction, anger management issues, attachment issues, depression, stress management , phobias and unresolved trauma.
