Danielle McDonaugh
I am a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience providing individual therapy and family therapy services. I have worked with individuals ages 8 through adulthood with a variety of presenting challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, work stress, traumatic and adverse experiences, as well as LGBTQ related struggles. I approach the therapeutic relationship with compassionate curiosity and a respect to the person’s unique experience. My experience is varied and across settings. I have provided services in community clinics, telehealth, homebound therapy, as well school-based mental health clinic. The foundation of my therapeutic understanding comes from the premise that our primary suffering is borne from our conditions and that we have understandable reactions to painful and adverse experiences. I strive to provide warmth, comfort and respect in the therapeutic relationship. My therapy style is eclectic and derived from relational-humanistic, cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic and motivational interviewing therapy approaches. My promise is to work with you and listen to your needs and help you determine which approach will work best for you and tailor treatment to suit those needs. Whether that is a wish to develop insight or needing symptom relief and improved daily function; my hope is we can work together to achieve that for you. It takes a lot of strength to work toward a more fulfilling life, especially when we are not feeling our best. I am here to support you in this goal.

I began helping people at a Mental Health Clinic in New York. This lead me to a three year training program in therapy at a New York City Hospital. I have also taught at several New York Universities and Colleges. My training was theoretical. However, decades of practice has adjusted my approach in treatment to be more practical in order to address the issues of stress, anxiety and depression to help you achieve a well adjusted and satisfying life. I also acquired Certification in Critical Incident Stress Management while working with New York City Police, after the fall of the World Trade Center. This training has lent itself to helping people outside of the Department. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder affects many people on many levels. It also appears on multiple levels of degrees. Anxiety, stress and depression occur with separation and loss throughout life. Recently, I completed a year of study on Adoption Competency at Georgia State University. This training has proven to be a great toil in addressing and helping people with other separations and losses. Loss can cause anxiety, stress and in divorce, death and numerous other unexpected incidents in life. If you are willing to begin the journey to discover what is causing your discomfort, lets talk. I am looking forward to meeting you. Thank You, Phyllis Taliaferro LCSW-R

Keesha Barthelemy
Hi my name is Keesha. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and I also possess my Credentialed Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Level 2 certification (CASAC2). It has been my pleasure to assist individuals with managing emotions associated with adolescent-hood, emerging adulthood, adults, families, individuals who were previously incarcerated, career counseling, and individuals with substance abuse related issues. My vast clinical background has assisted in my development as a well-rounded counselor. I pride myself on being organized, possessing great interpersonal skills, and building therapeutic relationships in an effort to assist you with growth and flourishment. As a charismatic and compassionate counselor I surmise that we can work together to learn and apply tools to manage your ideal life.

Are you feeling empty, alone, detached, anxious or misunderstood? As an integrative psychotherapist, licensed in NY and NJ, therapeutic inquiry begins with the assumption that I know nothing about your life experiences or how you make sense of them. Through inquiry, attunement and involvement we will discover together where you have experienced early interruptions in significant interpersonal relationships and how it has impacted your sense of self and adult life. These interruptions and misses are often experienced as depression, anxiety, compulsions, fears or agitation and often interfere with a sense of self and the development of healthy adult relationships. I offer empathic understanding in the context of honesty and respect with a supportive therapeutic inquiry that provides the safety to drop defenses, to feel, to remember, to experience and to integrate all that you truly are and can become. This is the ongoing process of integrative psychotherapy. As a Clinical Social Worker I believe that ongoing supervision and training are a vital part of our professional development and continue to learn and grow through attendance at workshops, seminars and trainings. I look forward to hearing from you.

Do you feel lost in a situation? Struggling to have satisfying relationships? At the cross roads and do not know which way to turn? Ever wake up with the mood "why bother" and go back to sleep? Are you finding yourself taken advantage of, often? Do you find it a challenge to move on from old trauma? Are your thoughts racing so quickly making it impossible to get things done? Do you avoid situations because anxiety impacts you physically? Life changes can feel overwhelming, it helps to have an objective confidant to vent to and sometimes to hear constructive feedback. We all have blocks in our life as we strive to attain a positive peaceful energy flow. My services are designed to identify, heal, plan, focus and execute removing those blocks while attaining goals. I often use humor in an appropriate manner to increase engagement and lighten conversation making things feel more manageable. We will locate the source of discomfort and find ways to manage to overcome obstacles and challenges. If you are serious and in a safe place to work on triggers, take on new perspectives and achieve wellness; I am the therapist for you. I look forward to meeting you! All the best always, KL
