Agustina Guanes, LMSW

Psychotherapist
NY
My passion for therapy is rooted with a deep desire to hold space for others in times of uncertainty and transformation. I believe that meaningful change begins in relationships built on trust, empathy, and presence. As an LMSW, I specialize in working with children and young adults who are moving through trauma, anxiety, life transitions, complex emotions, and relationship challenges. These are often times that can feel overwhelming or disconnected, and therapy can be a place to reconnect with yourself and your strengths. My approach is grounded in warmth and presence. I believe that healing happens within safe and supportive spaces, where you feel truly heard and accepted without judgment. In my work, I use a client-centered, talk therapy approach, allowing each person to guide their own pace and process. I meet clients where they are — whether they need space to express, tools to cope, or simply someone to listen and sit with them in the hard moments. I’m especially passionate about working with children and young adults who may be facing emotional challenges for the first time. I strive to make therapy approachable, affirming, and developmentally sensitive. As a bilingual therapist, I offer sessions in both English and Spanish, and I’m committed to providing culturally responsive care that honors the identities, values, and lived experiences of each client. I view therapy as a collaborative journey, where I walk alongside you as you explore what healing and growth can look like in your life. Therapy is a space not just to work through challenges, but to rediscover your voice and your resilience. I’m drawn to this work because I believe in the resilience of the human spirit and in the power of being truly heard. It’s an honor to walk alongside clients as they heal, grow, and rediscover their strengths.
