L. 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.

Are you worried all the time? About money, work, your relationships, or the future? Or what other people think about you, or that you’re not good enough? It’s exhausting, isn’t it? I get it. We all worry, but some more than others. If that’s you, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been a therapist for 19 years and specialize in helping people who have anxiety or who are going through something, sometimes several things at once, that they’re having difficulty handling. We’ll work together to understand why and, more importantly, how to find solutions and relief from the constant worry by learning how to use proven methods that you can use in your daily life. During our sessions you can expect to feel both heard and understood, and to be treated with respect and unconditional acceptance. Send me a message. I can help.

Megan Bartz
Hello! My name is Megan Bartz and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have over 3 years of experience working with individuals in outpatient and inpatient settings who are struggling with mental health and substance use disorders. I am passionate about treating individuals holistically and believe that the counseling relationship is one of the main vehicles for change as it provides a safe place for individuals to process and progress. I am person-centered and believe in not only being genuine with everyone I work with, but also treating you with unconditional positive regard. Ultimately, one of my main goals in treatment is to help individuals discover what gives them hope as I believe that hope is imperative in order for change to occur. I also draw from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in order to help individuals discover how their thinking is affecting their emotions and their behaviors and then how to learn to think differently so that they may find a different outcome. Ultimately, I believe you are the expert on yourself and that it can also be helpful at times to have a fresh perspective to walk alongside you as you journey to a place of greater self-awareness. My main priority is listening to what your needs are and helping you find a way to make those a reality. I would love the opportunity to work with you, thank you!

If you would like to learn to do more than cope with the issues you are dealing with, and move into actually eradicating them, I can help. All that is necessary is an open mind. If you are at the point where you want to learn the nature of your suffering and begin the work (it’s all mental), of changing whatever beliefs need to be released, let’s get started. This work will allow you to see for yourself your true nature and realize that without the thought and/or belief being held, all is well. Spirituality therapy means we work with all of you, mind, body and soul. What no longer serves your growth is released. You are then free. Our work together will be spent understanding the cause of suffering and who we are without the conditioning and beliefs that, uninvestigated, cause us pain. Reality is simple when we don’t argue with it. Let’s inquire and see what’s true and what’s just a thought. You didn’t cause it but you can let it go and be free. You’re here because you're ready. Having struggled for many years with my own conditioning, unquestioned thoughts and beliefs I am well aware of the pain they cause so I learned how to release what no longer serves or feels good. I am happy to help you over whatever you are dealing with and show you ways to help yourself. We have all we need within us, peace of mind is our birthright.

Amy Silberman
Hello all, my name is Amy Silberman and I have dedicated the last 25 years of my life to the world of social work. I did rewarding work in helping families find special need babies to adopt into their home. I worked with post-partum Moms and some prenatal ones with social issues. The last 16 years my work has been primarily with families who kids have orthopedic and rheumatologic conditions. My approach is very kind and gentle. I am curious to learn about you. I will be listening and let you share what led you into therapy and what you'd like to get out of therapy in our first session. We will set short term goals and long term goals so you can notice your progress. I tend to work on a strengths perspective and recently became a Health and Life Coach too so I'll be adding in my rah rahs to know I'm on your team to help you. I feel I can be of help since I am quite empathic and focus on the needs of my clients. I have been told for years that I'm a good listener and listening and reflecting back what a client says is what I feel is key to helping positive changes occur. Let's give it a try.

Jacquelyn Jabul Mercer
I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York with post-graduate analytical institute training. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults. My experience extends to being credentialed by the DOD (Department of Defense) as a civilian GS-11 primary provider, deployed to Fort Wainwright, Alaska, and Misawa, Japan, to work with Service Members and their families. My orientation is psychodynamic psychoanalytic psychotherapy with a focus on building a co-created working alliance to address long-term recurring issues that interfere with one's relationship with self and others. It takes courage to embark on the journey of discovery to process unresolved losses and understand inner conflicts, fears, and anxieties. My approach does not yield instant results and foregoes a rush to judgment. What is important is for you to feel that you can trust the treatment process. Once we clarify what you expect from treatment, what treatment frame works best for you within the realm of what I offer, we will work at your pace. Although the work is intense, I am attentive, interactive and caring. The process is geared towards producing benefits that promote change, self-understanding, personal growth, and building core emotional and psychological strengths. I am here to support you in a personal journey of discovery.
