Hannah Stegall

Hannah Stegall

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • New York


I have had extensive experience with trauma in individuals from adolescence to late adulthood. I believe that trauma looks and feels different to every person. Two people experiencing the same event will have different outlooks and understandings of it. A traumatic event can take many forms. I want to help you pick up on where your thoughts, feelings and behaviors come from, even if you have never experienced “trauma".

Dr. Jennifer Smith

Dr. Jennifer Smith

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • New York


I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Having worked in healthcare and academic settings, I appreciate being part of a treatment team and am available to coordinate care with other providers when beneficial. Rather than see 'how many problems' a person may be facing... I see 'how many ways things can get better'. I value working with folks to see their puzzle from a different angle and to use tools to clarify, change and improve the picture.

Amy Vasquez

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I am a clinical social worker with background in substance abuse treatment and mental health. I really enjoy working with clients and working towards their "aha moments". Therapy is a safe space to grow and "let down your hair" so to speak. I never want our time together to be a power struggle/dynamic but rather a place where you can speak your mind and not feel judged.
