I believe that peace does not come from your surroundings—it comes from within. It is something you can learn to build and strengthen.

My role is to support and guide you through life’s ups and downs, helping you stay grounded along the way. Whether you are managing ongoing challenges such as Bipolar Disorder or OCD, or going through a difficult and overwhelming season, I am here to help you regain a sense of control and joy.

I work with individuals, couples, and families, creating a safe and supportive space where healing and growth can take place.

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step and I am here to work collaboratively with you in a safe, supportive, and liberated space. I would like to help you feel less alone with difficult feelings and experience a greater sense of self-agency and fulfillment in your life. I have over 10 years of experience and extensive post-graduate training specializing in depression, anxiety, complex trauma, issues related to identity, and I offer particular attunement to individuals who identify as LGBTQAI+.


My background is in psychoanalytic psychotherapy/psychoanalysis and my approach to therapy is determined by the needs of each individual, which will make our time together a powerful space for self-reflection and growth. Our work together will be an opportunity for you to share your pain and perhaps for the first time, feel heard and understood.


My style is warm, active, and deeply nurturing. If you're having difficulty getting out of bed in the morning, struggling from what seems like uncontrollable worry, or feeling lost and isolated, I am happy to connect with you. You can reach me via a phone call, a text, or email at 347-378-7784 and I will get back to you within 24 hours, Monday-Friday.

Angela David

Angela David

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


Hi, I’m Angela David, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I provide thoughtful, personalized mental health care focused on real, lasting change—not just symptom management.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions for teenagers, college students and adults. My approach combines medication management with practical therapy tools, so you leave sessions with strategies you can actually use in daily life.

Patients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. Together, we work to understand patterns, build coping skills, and create a plan that feels manageable and effective.

I strive to create a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and make meaningful progress at your own pace. I take time to truly listen and understand your experiences, history, and goals. Together, we’ll determine whether medication, therapy, or a combination of both is right for you, and we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable. Treatment is always personalized, with careful attention to effectiveness, side effects, and your overall well-being.

My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and partnership. You are an active participant in your care, and your voice matters in every decision. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered throughout your healing journey.

I’m honored to support you as we work toward greater balance, resilience, and emotional well-being. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you as you take this important step toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Brittany Croley, MA, Lmhc, Lcat

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a dual-licensed psychotherapist (LMHC, LCAT) providing online therapy to adults across New York State.

My work integrates trauma-informed care with evidence-based methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS-informed approaches, and psychodynamic therapy.

I work with adults who appear composed externally yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or relationally stuck beneath the surface. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals navigating demanding professional or personal roles who notice patterns they’re ready to understand and shift.

My style is warm, attuned, and thoughtfully direct. I value depth, clarity, and accountability. Our work focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, deepening insight, and refining relational patterns in ways that support sustainable, meaningful change.

If you’re seeking focused, depth-oriented therapy and are ready to engage thoughtfully in this process, I look forward to the possibility of working together.

Several years later, I pursued an advanced practice degree, also at Columbia University, and earned a PhD. I lived in Poland and France before I arrived to the United States at the turn of this century. Given my international experience, I work in three languages: English, French, and Polish. I offer therapy and medication management and the clients and me decide on the best approach.
