“Avi is wonderful with his approach, and was quick to help me get reacclimatized to therapy in a way that’s realistic and meaningful. I felt safe and trust him to continue growing on my journey and would highly recommend Avi to anyone looking for a therapist.”

“Very professional. I got to see Avi quickly without any rush once I was with him. Avi was understanding and listened without any judgement. He made me feel like I was with a friend, even though it was our first time meeting.”

Getting to know Avi Tapp
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
I work with people who carry the invisible weight of trauma, ADHD, anxiety, and relationships that feel more draining than supportive. In our sessions, I bring warmth, curiosity, and honesty to help you make sense of what’s been hard and find steadier ground within yourself. My goal isn’t just to help you cope-it’s to help you reconnect with your voice, your boundaries, and your capacity for genuine connection and self-trust.
I bring a calm, grounded presence to each session, with room for humor and lightness when it fits. Clients describe me as steady and approachable, making even the heavy stuff feel a little lighter to carry. Outside of therapy, I love crocheting, gaming, and getting lost in a great sci-fi or fantasy story.
Beginning therapy is a meaningful step toward caring for yourself and creating change. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, building trust and clarity along the way. My role is to walk beside you with steadiness, compassion, and hope as you move toward growth and healing.
Avi Tapp has a Master’s in Social Work from Yeshiva University. Avi is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW #118568) at Cerebral. Supervised by Tyshauna White, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #093800) in New York.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Sessions with me are collaborative, grounded, and deeply human. You can expect warmth, humor, and honesty woven with practical tools that meet you where you are. My goal is to help you feel both supported and challenged in ways that inspire growth, insight, and lasting change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I became a therapist because I understand what it’s like to feel weighed down by trauma and self-doubt—and believe no one should have to face that alone. In our work, we'll creates a space where your story is honored, strengths are uplifted, and both pain and possibility can be explored with care. My clients often leave sessions feeling seen, supported, and more connected to their resilience and sense of self.
