Dr. Victor Franco
As a bilingual clinician fluent in both Spanish and English, I possess a wealth of expertise in the mental health field. My graduate degrees in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and psychoanalysis, alongside my ongoing doctoral studies in Counseling, have equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities of the human mind and the skills necessary to provide top-notch care for my clients. I am actively engaged with various national and international organizations focused on mental health, demonstrating my commitment to staying up-to-date on the latest developments in the field. Particularly, I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ individuals and trauma survivors. In fact, my work with trauma survivors at a large organization in NY serves as a testament to my dedication and passion for the field. My ultimate goal is to support my clients in identifying their core strengths and overcoming any obstacles that may impede their emotional growth, helping them to live a fulfilled and meaningful life.

Geoffrey Golia
My name is Geoffrey M. Golia and I am a psychotherapist and clinical social worker. I strive to always be a warm, compassionate, and flexible practitioner, with a passion for helping people help themselves. I am consistently awed by people's capacity to overcome challenges and live a life of purpose and happiness, and I feel privileged that I can support them on that journey. Before I became a practitioner, I was a patient who experienced the transformative nature of psychotherapy and a therapeutic alliance with a therapist first hand. That experience inspired me to change careers. I received my Masters in Social Work from NYU's Silver School of Social Work in 2012 with goal of engaging a diverse array of people in therapeutic conversations in a spirit of shared fate and social justice. Throughout my professional career, I have worked with a broad range of people, families, and groups. These include justice-involved and formerly-incarcerated young men, college students, adolescents and adults from 18 years of age to 60, children affected by the foster care system, and people with substance use disorders and co-occuring mental health issues. This work has shaped my view that emotional well-being is at the foundation of one's personal and professional success, and that all people deserve a reflective space to seek change and healing. My practice is eclectic and I've built a diverse toolbox, having completed trainings in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and DBT for Substance Use Disorders, Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic Therapy, trauma-informed approaches, and Motivational Interviewing, to name a few. One current that runs through my work is an emphasis on the notion that each individual has the means of their own healing and liberation inside of them. I'm looking forward to working with you.

Hi I’m Marie, like the middle name! I became a therapist because I have a passion for helping others and I believe we all need a little extra support sometimes. Life is hard! I have extensive experience in helping clients learn to better manage their stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more! I provide a safe, supportive space for you to explore your feelings and develop effective coping strategies. I specialize in guiding clients through relationship issues, helping you find motivation, and building self-esteem. I am not a certified art therapist, however, I do enjoy incorporating creative arts in therapy sessions if desired. After a session with me, you can expect to feel supported, have a fresh perspective on things, learn new coping skills, and if desired, be assigned “homework” to work on in between sessions! I typically work Monday-Wednesday & Saturday’s from 8:45am-4:30pm and Sunday’s from 8:45am-12pm. Reach out with any questions, looking forward to working with you!
