Hi my name is Lynda Nora Durand and I go by Nora. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 8 years of experience in the state of Florida and New York. I am a Florida native who moved to New York a few years ago. I have a Master in Mental Health Counseling and a certificate in Child and Adolescent Studies. I have worked in child welfare as an advocate and counselor to youth in foster care from there I became a crisis counselor for Hurricane Sandy Victims, to then run a crisis respite center for individuals with what we call “severe mental illness” where we provided a peer environment in which individual’s experiencing psychosis but did not rise to the level of hospitalization could have a place to stay away from their triggering environment, and currently I work with victims of crimes. I shared so much detail as to my prior work experience because it speaks to the way I work with individuals. I believe in meeting every person where they are at and providing a compassionate non-judgmental space to process and explore their individual reality. My approach is a combination of Intentional Peer Support, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Need Adaptive Treatment model. I do my best to be creative with the therapy I provide and tailor it to the individual that I am working with. I am so happy that you have taken this step to work on your emotional and mental health and look forward to the opportunity to be a support alongside you in this journey.

As a therapist, I focus on working with clients going through difficult Life Transitions. As humans beings, we all experience periods in our lives that involve structural changes, and high stakes decision making. At times, these changes and the decisions involved, can make us feel very overwhelmed, and leave us with a sense that we have been thrown off balance. Some examples of life transitions include; the end of a relationship, a change in work dynamics, as well as the transition into adulthood that starts during adolescence. I also specialize in helping women during the difficult transition period of becoming a new mother. I have extensive experience working with anxiety disorders and the grieving process. The uncertainty present during new life stages can often generate stress and anxiety, as well as feelings of disappointment, shame, sadness, and grief. If you are going through a transitional stage in your life, or you are feeling stuck and are concerned about your mental wellbeing, I am here to help. I work with clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My approach to therapy is collaborative as well as cognitive behavioral. As we work together we will be looking at any road blocks that may be the root causes of your current struggles. These roadblocks can be at a conscious level and you are able to identify them. These roadblocks can also be at an unconscious level, and usually tied to past experiences, uncovering them during therapy will help you see them more clearly. Only when you see something clearly will you then be able to transform it. We will also be implementing practical life changes and actionable solutions for you to bring about the healing and the outcomes that you desire in your life. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life experience takes courage and determination. I am here to support you towards your own journey of transformation. I finished my graduate school studies in Psychology at Columbia University in New York City in 2003. I also completed additional post graduate training in counseling at Cornell University. In 2019, I specialized in Maternal Mental Health and Wellness, and I am certified to treat perinatal mood disorders through Post-Partum Support International. I am here to help you take care of your mental health, and navigate through the psychological challenges that may be blocking you. The goal is for you to move through your current struggles, so you start a new chapter in your life with ease and confidence. You can view my current availability to schedule a session.
