Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in New York

Unlock Your Past - Inform Your Present - Expand Your Future

Hi, I'm Nora.

Do you feel stuck in patterns that don’t make sense or find yourself reliving old family dynamics in your relationships? If you grew up in a home where emotions felt unpredictable or your needs were often overlooked, those early experiences may still affect you today. You might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. You deserve a space where your experiences are understood and your feelings make sense.

Therapy can help you feel heard, understood, and more grounded in your life. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we might be a good fit.

I am a somatic oriented Licensed Psychoanalyst, and Certified Gestalt Psychotherapist based in NYC. I am warm, empowering and challenging when called for.

Elise is a mental health nurse practitioner that has practiced in a variety of settings, most recently as a coordinator and nurse practitioner to the women's program at Weill Cornell Medical Center. She has received additional training through Postpartum Support International, the Beck Institute, and the IPT Institute. Once an oncology nurse at WCMC, she has received training in survivorship and loss.

I know well that starting therapy can feel formidable and thoroughly overwhelming, and on occasion, the absolute hardest step of all is merely beginning. In spite of that, you are here, and you are actively setting out on your personal journey to heal and reconstruct. I warmly invite the opportunity to communicate with you and learn how I might best help you. My professional style is kind, deeply empathetic, and shared.

I am a licensed clinical Social Worker and have over 20 years of experience in Health/Mental Health Social Work and Counseling.

I have a kind approach and attempt to meet you where you are on your journey.

Are you feeling alone and stuck in a transitional period in your life and that your mind is filled with negative thoughts directed towards yourself creating conflict or distance in your relationships with others? You are feeling hopeless and are having low energy, like you are about to give up? While you may not know the tools to help you, you do know what has not been working for you. Together we can build your own toolbox for you to help embrace control in your life!

I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first session. Building trust is important to me, and I understand that starting therapy can feel like a big step.

I bring over eight years of experience working in diverse settings, including crisis intervention, child welfare, and substance use treatment. This has allowed me to support individuals and families through a wide range of challenges with compassion and flexibility.

My approach is collaborative—I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method. We will work together to identify your goals and find strategies that feel right for you. I also value cultural sensitivity and take the time to understand your background, identity, and lived experiences as part of the healing process.

I offer services in French and Wolof and welcome clients from all backgrounds. My goal is to support you in building insight, developing practical tools, and creating lasting, meaningful change in your life.
