Well, if you are here, welcome! I am Stacey. I know it’s a journey to find the right therapist, and I’m glad you found your way to TheraHope. Most of my clients tell me, "You really get me" because I understand that being a student right now is heavy. We will work together to navigate the symptoms that weigh you down - like a racing mind or total shut down but also the daily drama with friends, parents and partners that drains your battery. If you are carrying past trauma, we will work together to navigate that negative self-talk and truly understand the "why" behind how you are feeling. We will create a game plan at your pace. My goal is to help you stop just "surviving" the semester and actually start feeling like yourself again. I really do care about my clients and I hope you decide to join this therapy road with me! Reach out today!

I provide therapy for adults and adolescents in private practice, specializing in mood disorders, ADHD and executive functioning challenges, addiction, and trauma. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, chronic worry, low mood, and low motivation, including those who feel stuck in a functional “freeze” state, able to meet daily responsibilities but struggling to fully engage in life. I also support individuals coping with suicidal thoughts. My practice includes treatment for ADHD/ADD and executive functioning difficulties, such as challenges with time management, organization, focus, and follow-through. I also work with high-functioning individuals, including those with high IQ and nonverbal learning differences, who may experience frustration, overwhelm, or issues with impulsivity. I address addiction and compulsive behaviors, including substance use as well as problematic screen use, social media, and video games, often in connection with underlying emotional regulation and impulse control difficulties. I specialize in trauma therapy, working with both single-incident trauma and complex developmental trauma, including adoption-related trauma.

I work best with students who are used to being the "high-functioning" one - the person others rely on, the one who pushes through, achieves, and keeps going even when they're overwhelmed internally. Over the past decade, I've helped clients navigate anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and the pressure to always do more. Many of the clients I work with struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, self-criticism, or feeling like they can never fully relax. They often appear successful on the outside while privately feeling exhausted, emotionally disconnected, stuck in pressure, or constantly worried they're falling behind. Some students come to therapy because they feel burned out academically. Others are navigating relationship stress, family pressure, identity changes, career uncertainty, or difficulty balancing achievement with their mental health. My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative -with enough challenge to help you create meaningful change. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can slow down, understand yourself more clearly, and build healthier patterns without losing the parts of yourself that are ambitious, driven, or deeply caring.
Hi! My name is Mary Denning and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who loves helping clients live happier, healthier lives. I've worked across many age groups, cultures, and diagnoses. I started my career with geriatric clients, then worked with adolescents and families throughout the public school system, all while working in palliative and hospice care. Those experiences shaped my private practice today and gave me the skills to meet a wide range of needs. As your therapist, my goal is to help you reach yours. I'll be a sounding board where you can freely share your thoughts and feelings, and I'll work to fully understand you so I can help you understand yourself. Together we'll set realistic goals and build the tools to reach them. I genuinely love helping people see themselves in a new light and create real change in their lives. I know firsthand what it feels like to be heard, supported, and guided, and how much that can shift your whole outlook. Therapy can help anyone, and I'd really encourage you to give it a try. Life is too short to be at war with yourself! Looking forward to meeting you! Mary Denning, LCSW
Hello! I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 10 years of experience in hospitals, therapy clinics, and academic research settings. l work with adolescents and young adults facing a range of challenges, including more serious mental health concerns. My practice focuses on treating individuals with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, OCD, and psychotic disorders like schizophrenia. My style is warm and client-centered, with a strong emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship. You will always be met with acceptance, support, and a space free of shame and judgment. My goal is to arm you with knowledge and tools so that you develop confidence to better manage difficulties in your life. I aim to provide you with clear information related to symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. I have expertise in evidence-based treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I often bring worksheets and treatment manuals into the session, and use assessments to learn more about you and track progress. If you're unsure of what to expect from therapy, I will be there to guide you. In our initial sessions, we'll work toward gaining a good understanding of your difficulties and goals, and develop a treatment plan together. Sometimes we may even complete a clinical and diagnostic evaluation, where I will review the results with you and provide tailored treatment recommendations. If you’re looking for an experienced psychologist who values collaboration and providing you with structured tools, I’d love to hear from you! I offer free 15-minute consultations if you'd like to meet first to see if we'd be a good fit.

Hey there, I am Tiara-Nicole, an Individual, Couples and Family Therapist in New York State. I understand firsthand how college and young adulthood may bring a lot of changes, pressure, and uncertainty. As someone who has gone through both undergraduate and graduate school, I understand the unique challenges that can come with balancing academics, choosing a career path, relationships, family life, changing friendships, responsibilities, and figuring out what comes next. Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and judgment-free. I use a multi-systemic approach (CBT, DBT, Trauma informed, family systems and more). I also utilize a creative and problem solving lens to help each person incorporate interventions that are specific to their needs and lifestyle. I also have extensive training in alcohol and substance abuse counseling and sexuality education for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I currently work with college students and young adults who may be: * Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stressed, or emotionally drained * Struggling with motivation, confidence, or self-esteem * Experiencing academic pressure, perfectionism, burnout * Trying to balance school, work, relationships, family, and their own needs * Navigating career decisions, internships, jobs, or uncertainty about the future * Struggling with anxiety, depression, or difficulty managing emotions * Having challenges with friendships, dating, or romantic relationships * Dealing with family conflict, expectations, or difficult family dynamics * Learning how to set and maintain healthy boundaries * Feeling lonely, disconnected, or unsure where they fit in * Exploring their identity, values, goals, or sense of direction * Adjusting to major life transitions, such as starting college, graduating, moving, or entering the workforce * Coping with grief, loss, or difficult experiences * Feeling like something is “off” but not necessarily knowing why Here's the thing- You don’t have to be at your breaking point to start therapy. Sometimes, you may simply feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, unsure of what comes next or maybe you might just need a space to explore the different thoughts in your mind. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and figure out what you want and need moving forward. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You can come as you are, and we can figure things out together. I look forward to working with you on your journey. Feel free to send me a text or call if you would like a free consultation before starting your therapy journey! (Just in case you see two profiles for me. I promise it's not a bot- it's because I work with two different group practices. Feel free to reach out to either!)
