Hi! My name is Sydney Huppert (she/her), and I am a New York State licensed clinical mental health counselor based in Brooklyn, NY. I specialize in working with children, teenagers, and adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, panic disorder, life transitions, burn out, and relationship challenges. I also provide neurodivergent affirming care to support the unique challenges faced by Autistic and ADHD clients. My approach to therapy is holistic and rooted in the belief that meaningful change begins with a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. Research consistently shows that the best predictor in successful therapy is the strength of the relationship between the client and therapist. I strive to create a collaborative and compassionate space where clients feel seen and understood. I draw from a range of evidence-based and client-centered modalities. I work with each client to identify their unique needs and goals to grow in the ways you need.
I am a licensed master social worker (LMSW) providing individual and couples therapy in New York State. While I work with folks who have a variety of presenting concerns and backgrounds, I have a specific interest in working with individuals, couples, and people in partnerships who are identified as part of the LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, and kink communities. Whether you’re seeking individual or couples therapy, I believe that meaningful change tends to occur when people can shed the societal expectations of what they “should” be, in favor of embracing who they are. To that end, I have an eclectic style that integrates humanistic, relational, and family systems perspectives to fit the particular situation and individual(s) in the room. I seek to de-stigmatize sex, help people feel at home in their bodies, and encourage people to feel good about what they do in or with their bodies. After completing my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, I completed post-graduate education in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy. Furthermore, I have additional training in working with sex and sexuality in psychotherapy, including desire discrepancy and infidelity. In terms of my personal philosophy, I strongly believe that my clients are the experts in their own experiences. I am committed to creating a space that is anti-racist, sex positive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I value transparency in the therapy process and seek to build a collaborative alliance with everyone I work with.
We work with students struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD and PTSD. We offer sliding scale rates. Sessions with a Masters level intern is $35.
Our world can so often be judgmental and alienating, especially to those whose identities fall outside of the social norm. In my practice, I take a compassionate, trauma-informed approach with the aim of creating a warm environment where clients feel seen and heard. My approach is a collaborative, interactive process, as I view clients as the experts of their own lives. I am passionate about supporting clients who are struggling with issues of shame, self-esteem, interpersonal boundaries, relationships and intimacy, oppression, gender and other identity transitions, and trauma. I practice from an anti-racist/-transphobic/-ableist/-oppressive, Health At Every Size (HAES), and poly- and kink-affirming perspective. I’m in network with commercial plans (not Medicaid/Medicare) for Aetna, Anthem/Highmark BCBS, and Quest Behavioral Health and will soon also be taking Optum (United Healthcare, Oscar, and Oxford). I’m currently exclusively working with Telehealth clients residing in NY.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience working with clients in areas of anxiety, depression, cultural identity issues, vocational development, and behavioral challenges. I strive to foster a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental experience, empowering clients to navigate toward their goals. I have previous experience working together with clients in an outpatient clinic and community college setting to pursue their goals and needs. I am fluent in English and have conversational fluency in Chinese (Cantonese).
I prioritize anti capitalist and anti ableist values, cultural competency, and financial accessibility in my practice. I specialize in grief, cultural identity, and non traditional relationship structures. My practice highly values cultural competency and financial accessibility, and I work with people of all races, ethnicities, religions, and genders/sexuality. I work with individuals and families through a radical social justice lens. My passion is helping people become more self aware in order to stimulate growth, happiness, and fulfilling their potential. I view therapy as a collaborative process where I am helping you get to know yourself better.
I am a white queer NB trans masc psychotherapist who focuses on the mental health and wellbeing of queer, trans and NB folks of all ages. While I work with people across the life span, I generally do not see people under 16. I also work with people navigating the spectrum of pregnancy, adoption and traversing LGBTQIA parenthood. I have been practicing social work for 15 years and am licensed in NY and Florida. I am anti racist, trans affirmative, sex positive, sw positive, body positive + kink allied. I use a psychodynamic approach in my work with clients incorporating elements of intersectionality, mindfulness and harm reduction. I have clinical expertise in areas including: coming out, trans/queer identity exploration, HIV/AIDS and access to PrEP, alternative relationship structures including open/poly/ENM, phase of life issues, and emotional states including stress, grief, bereavement, depression, anxiety and PTSD. Together we will address the problems bringing you to treatment, including identifying any negative thought patterns and other barriers standing in the way of you and your wellbeing. My practice offers an inviting and affirming space to do so, and my relational style is warm and collaborative.
I am a bilingual psychotherapist fluent in English and in Tagalog, fostering a trusting and collaborative therapeutic environment where you feel acknowledged and understood. Through this partnership, clients explore their needs, process experiences, acquire coping skills, and cultivate a perspective that promotes authentic self-connection and meaningful engagement with the world. I bring extensive experience from working with diverse individuals and groups, addressing mental health issues such as psychosis, trauma, anxiety, and depression in an inpatient setting. Specializing in grief counseling, I assist people coping with various losses, including relationships, careers, pets, cultures, or hobbies. Drawing from her background as a competitive athlete, I also support athletes with the loss of opportunities, identity, physical abilities, or general sports psychology. Also as a proud Filipina-American, I recognize the difficulty in discussing emotions and mental health within Asian-American communities due to stigma. I advocate for therapy as a safe space to address emotional struggles, and to also express all types of emotions, including positive one’s such as your strengths and achievements. Regardless of one’s identity within the Asian American Pacific Islander Community, I offer support for various challenges including acculturation, family loss, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and identity struggles. I understand there is no one-size-fits-all approach; I will personalize the treatment based on your unique needs and situation. I am here to provide a safe and comfortable place for you to be your real, authentic self, to share a great laugh, cry, or any other emotions free of judgment.

I specialize in working with young and emerging adults (people in their 20s and 30s), as well as teens and their families. My passion lies in helping young people navigate life’s transitional phases. Many of my clients are working through anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, difficulty with focus or organization, or stress related to school and work. Others are making big life or career decisions, processing trauma or loss, working through painful childhoods, or exploring identity—whether around race, class, gender, or being part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. As a former foster parent and current adoptive parent, I bring a personal and informed perspective to the complexities of non-traditional and non-biologically based families. I also have a particular focus on supporting individuals who’ve experienced difficult or traumatic childhoods. This includes—but isn’t limited to—survivors of childhood physical, sexual, or emotional abuse; those who grew up with parents struggling with mental health or substance use; people who were bullied; individuals who spent time in foster care; and anyone who faced significant instability or stress during their early years. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you recognize your own strength, build tools that work for your life, and create space for insight, growth—and yes, even laughter. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or you’re giving it another try, I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward. Let’s figure it out—together.

Hi All! My name is Cari and not so long ago I was a college student..... or at least it feels that way. Looking back I can say I learned a lot in the classroom but more importantly I learned about myself. Mental Health is a issues that has always been swept under the rug. The most significant onset for mental health issues are 18 and onward. This places many college student in a place where they may feel isolated, alone and have no idea what is" wrong" with them. My practice not only focuses on mental health issues but also on substance use, the "hook up" culture, adjustment to college life and many more pertinent struggles young people face today . I did not just gain my experience as a therapist listening to a client on a couch. Much of my work was community based , in very high need neighborhoods in the NYC area. From working in homeless shelters, foster care, and substance use programs, the experience gained was invaluable . I offer more then just a set of listening empathetic ears but an approach to help you rationalize your thoughts and experiences .
