Lynda Nora Durand
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.

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals... compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared community."(Brene Brown) I truly believe that this philosophy represents my framework for conducting effective and rewarding therapy. Providing a supportive and safe space for the process of healing to occur is of the utmost importance to me as a psychotherapist. My goal is to help my clients integrate their experiences in order to feel more at peace in their lives. I foster a non-judgmental and compassionate therapeutic environment to assist clients to focus on issues such as grief/loss, couple relationships, work stress, addictions, depression, anxiety, and trauma. My approach to psychotherapy is client-centered and honors the relationship between the psychological and the sacred. I utilize various methods including cognitive-behavioral strategies, psychodynamics, mind/body connections through mindfulness practices and imagery, motivational interviewing and couple/family dynamics. As an LMFT, LCSW and LCADC, my approaches to therapy reflect over 46 years of working with clients, as well as university teaching, and post-graduate training. My work is informed as well by my own life cycle experiences with relationships, balancing personal life and work, as well as with life's inevitable setbacks and losses. I work collaboratively with my clients, helping you to function optimally "out there." Together we will work towards restoring your sense of well-being, and revitalizing your journey forward.

If you're feeling stuck, finding yourself repeating the same patterns, or you've been in therapy before but aren't quite sure how to apply what you've learned in everyday life, you're not alone. I offer direct, compassionate therapy that helps turn insight into meaningful, real-world change. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, perfectionism, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, or the lasting impact of difficult experiences, therapy can help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence. I work best with people who are motivated for change and ready to move beyond awareness alone. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, challenge patterns that no longer serve you, and develop practical tools you can use outside of sessions to create lasting change. I especially enjoy working with high achievers, perfectionists, and individuals who are ready to translate insight into action. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota, Virginia, and New York with over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Dartmouth College and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Bethel University. My training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), and Experiential Play Therapy. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space while remaining honest, direct, and solution-focused. I use a holistic, integrative approach that blends evidence-based therapies with mindfulness and mind-body techniques to support the whole person. One of my primary modalities is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors. The goal is not simply to feel better during therapy sessions, but to build the skills and confidence needed to continue supporting yourself long after therapy has ended. My style tends to be more direct and solution-oriented than that of some therapists. I ask thought-provoking questions, provide honest feedback, challenge unhelpful patterns, and encourage you to actively engage in the therapeutic process. Therapy works best when we work together, and I believe meaningful change happens when insight is paired with action. Clients often seek my support for: • Anxiety and stress management • Depression and mood concerns • Childhood trauma and adverse experiences • Life transitions and adjustment difficulties • Low self-esteem and self-worth concerns • Codependency and people-pleasing patterns • Attachment and relationship challenges • Anger management • Grief and loss • Sleep difficulties Treatment is always tailored to your unique goals, values, and circumstances—there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Please note that I do not treat ADHD, eating disorders, or personality disorders. If you're motivated for change, willing to do the work, and looking for a therapist who will both support and challenge you, we may be a good fit!

Lindsey Huttner
Specialties -womens mental health -anxiety -ocd -maternal mental health I help ambitious, successful women who experience uncomfortable physical symptoms of anxiety often without understanding why. Physical anxiety can be debilitating. It can leave highly driven women stuck in a cycle of endless to do lists, catching up on the week and having no time for themselves. Anxiety is the nervous system being stuck in the “on” position. Insight alone, however, isn’t what turns that switch off. Real change happens when we work with the brain and nervous system using small, simple, science-based strategies that help rewire their communication and allow anxious sensations to move through and out. I also teach values-based goal setting, so your actions are aligned with what truly matters to you, helping you feel fulfilled rather than constantly exhausted. My goal isn’t for you to slow down or do less, but to build a full, meaningful life where success doesn’t come at the cost of your well being. In addition I treat OCD using ERP therapy (exposure and response prevention therapy). I also specialize in maternal mental health, everything from fertility treatment, loss, pregnancy to postpartum.
