Virtual therapy for adults, couples, and adolescents across New York and New Jersey. Let’s make change together.

From the outside, you're holding it all together.

On the inside, it's a different story.

Maybe your mind won't slow down at night.

Maybe you keep promising yourself you'll change a habit, and then you don't.

Maybe your relationship feels more like a negotiation than a partnership.

Maybe life changed, and you're not sure who you are in this new chapter.

You're not failing. You just haven't been given the right tools yet. And you don't have to figure it out on your own.

Sound familiar?

"I know my worries don't make sense, but I can't stop checking, rechecking or replaying things in my head."

"I have the to-do list. I have the planner. I just can't seem to start, and then I'm frustrated with myself all day."

"We love each other, but every conversation turns into the same argument."

"Everything changed so fast: a new job, a move, a loss. I feel like I'm running just to keep up."

"I'm so hard on myself. I'd never talk to a friend the way I talk to me."

"I've tried talking it out before. This time I want something that actually changes how I feel day to day."

If any of these sound like you, you're in the right place.

Meet the therapist

Hi, I'm Liandra.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and New Jersey, and I've been helping people since 2012. Before going into private practice full time, I spent over nine years in schools supporting students, families and fellow social workers.
