Hello my name is Mary Kay and I am honored that you have taken the opportunity to seek online counseling through BetterHelp. We all sometimes need to seek guidance from another as we navigate through a traumatic life event, difficult life transition, or when we just feel "in a funk"/need an extra boost, inspiration, and/or motivation. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist (LCSW) in both California and New York States. I have over 25 years experience in the field of counseling and mental health. I have a Masters degree in Clinical Social Work Clinical Counseling from Columbia University in New York. From a very young age, I have always had a gift for healing, listening, soothing and comforting others which I been able to channel into a life long career. My areas of specialties include treating: grief and loss, depression, anxiety, healthy and positive parenting issues, PTSD, relational intimacy/couples issues, career guidance, and motivational coaching, among others. My approach to counseling and style within the sessions is based on Strength Based, Cognitive-Behavioral , mixed with Psycho-dynamic techniques. What this means, is that I am a neutral objective nonjudgmental "witness", of whom motivates, listens, validates, soothes, and encourage you on your life path. Most therapists do not "tell a client what to do". Instead I will help you to come up with the answers, choices and decisions from within yourself. I have a warm, kind and empathic counseling approach focused on getting to know your story, helping you to stabilize emotions, self-soothe, and challenge unhelpful core beliefs and cognitive distortions.

Hello! My name is Dr. Bonnie Floyd. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist, with a specialization in health psychology. My expertise is assisting individuals who are diagnosed with chronic illness to live more fulfilling lives. I completed my Ph.D. in Clinical Health Psychology, through a program jointly offered by Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Yeshiva University, Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. I have nearly twenty years of clinical experience, working in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I've had experience in psychological pain management, providing both biofeedback and psychotherapy. For the past fifteen years, I've specialized in working with geriatric patients; I've provided comprehensive neuropsychological assessments, to diagnose forms of dementia. More recently, I've been providing supportive psychotherapy sessions for residents in nursing homes. Last November, I published Remarkable Journey: My Dual Perspectives as Doctor and Patient. Having specialized in coping with chronic illness during my doctoral training, I am now managing chronic conditions of my own. This offers a unique perspective for those who are struggling to adapt to chronic conditions. My theoretical orientation is cognitive-behavioral in nature: I assist clients with the identification of maladaptive patterns of thinking, as well as provide training with the substitution of more adaptive thoughts. Similarly, I assist clients with recognizing when behaviors are no longer useful for their current situations; I provide help with forming new, more adaptive behaviors. I have a longstanding interest in mood disorders, especially major depressive disorder. I would be honored to have the opportunity to work together on your current concerns. I commend individuals for the courage to reach out for professional assistance when necessary.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of New York providing short term online integrative therapy for adults in need of emotional support and guidance while navigating life challenges. I’ve used my life experience and applied my formal education working with children and families in preventive programs, addiction treatment, and mental health to inform how I conceptualize life challenges. I prefer a humanistic strengths based model over a medical model. The spiritual part of our being is often neglected using a medical model and it does not serve us well in our healing journey. At some time in our life most of us will struggle with chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and related conditions. No one is immune to life changing struggles with mental and behavioral health. These are common conditions that we hear about in the media. Each person has a unique experience. As a person who has lived experience managing these conditions I understand the debilitating nature these impairments can have on our daily functioning. Hopes and dreams have been pushed aside without a plan to know what to do next. Our entire being is negatively impacted: mind, body and spirit. Changes in sleep and eating habits cause long term exhaustion and an imbalance of mood. Irritability, impulsiveness, lack of focus and concentration wrecks havoc on our self-esteem and damages relationships. We push ourselves through the day to meet our responsibilities but forget to attend to our own needs. People in our lives may not fully understand our struggles because we’ve learned to mask them to the best of our ability. Minimizing and making excuses as to why we are unable to participate in yet another social gathering or having to call out for work because facing the day seems to big of a challenge. The shame and guilt weighs heavy and we feel like a failure. One day we may seem to have it all together and within a few hours we stall like a car running out of gas. Our insight comes and goes. Often buried by chronic stress and the daily grind of struggling to keep our heads above water, we are detached and we just don’t have time to connect with others. There is too much that has to be done. Feeling immobilized with despair, fear, and helplessness, we realize decisions have to be made. i have been fortunate to have had a supportive family and a relationship with God to help me muddle through the maze of all the resources available to help with my healing journey. Leaning into my faith, I was able to use the healthcare system to curate a plan of care that would meet my specific needs. I found ways to reconnect to activities that were once meaningful to me and I found myself harnessing my faith to hang onto the little hope I had left. I recognized that my resilience is my superpower. If you connect with this narrative and you would like to schedule a consultation I would be honored to support you through this process. Hope is never out of reach. I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of New York providing short term online integrative therapy for adults in need of emotional support and guidance while navigating life challenges. People who experience these challenges often feel their entire being—mind, body, and spirit—impacted. These conditions can lead to changes in sleep, eating habits, and mood, which can result in long-term exhaustion and illness. Many of us push through our daily responsibilities without attending to our own needs. Learning to mask our struggles from those around us can give the illusion of stability and “having our lives together”. Eventually, these issues become impossible to hide, we are faced with the You offer emotional support through these transitions, emphasizing that hope is always within reach, and you would be honored to help guide individuals through this process.
