Getting to know Bianca Calizaire
As a first-generation Haitian American immigrant daughter, I witnessed the profound impact of this cultural intersectionality on my life. It influenced how I approached relationships and made me acutely aware of the glass ceiling faced by women, particularly those of Black or Brown heritage. It taught me empathy and compassion for my mother and grandmother—navigating mountain-like challenges such as language barriers. This realization spurred me to challenge stereotypes, break barriers, and address intergenerational trauma. With a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Mercy College, I aim to empower individuals from diverse backgrounds to break free from unhealthy thought patterns by promoting choice, humility, and self-acceptance. My mission is to help people reconnect and reconcile with parts of themselves that have been emotionally injured by trauma, supporting them through their strengths and abilities no matter the current circumstances. These principles define my unique approach to making a difference.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Working with me means partnering with a therapist who embodies a warm and empathetic approach. I utilize an integrative person centered approach including but not limited to Trauma Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In sessions, I value the importance of the increasing emotional awareness through somatic interventions. I enjoy the Hakomi method and bridging understanding with parts of the self through Internal Family Systems - parts work. I allow emotions to emerge, to feel seen and heard.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I focus on building rapport with you by meeting you exactly where you are emotionally, cognitively, mentally and spiritually. I work diligently to co-create a confidential and non-judgmental space for you. I have seen clients become introspective, practice and strengthen their interpersonal skills in various relationships and become far more emotionally aware. Clients have been able to communicate effectively, set healthy boundaries with friends and family, regulate their emotions and reconnect with themselves and others. Together, we address issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, providing you with tools for positive change. My goal is to create a safe space for growth and healing.

She is beyond amazing! From the min she popped up on my screen I felt her energy radiating . Perfect listener. Our space is a judgment free zone. I feel completely relax while speaking with her. She offers insight w/o being judgy or pushy. She communicates well. She just has an aura that calms me . I look forward to our visits. I wish I was able to speak with her for longer than an hour . I picked the perfect person to help me navigate what I’m going through. She shows empathy in every aspect of my traumas. My 2nd visit was completed and I felt relieved after our session.

Talking with Bianca doesn’t feel like a therapy session. It feels like I’m having coffee with a long distance friend I haven’t seen in years. Which is what I was aiming for when looking for a therapist. She’s such a breath of fresh air and I finally feel heard .. I can’t wait until our next session.

Bianca is exceptional at what she does. She automatically presented very knowledgable, warm, caring, patient, and non-judgmental. I have accomplished so much in so little time working with her and the tools she provides. I always look forward to all my sessions with her.

I was initially reluctant in visiting a counselor but I gave Bianca a chance and I’m so glad I did! She made me feel so comfortable, it was easy to talk to her. She provided no pressure to my anxiety. I was able to open up freely to her. I 100% recommend Bianca.

Ms. Bianca is one of the nicest most understanding people I've met in a long time. She's very polite and took all my needs and concerns into consideration when we were setting up my services. Bianca was also able to get me things for me to baby-proof my house. Compassionate and show genuine care for the work she's doing. I was actually a little sad once I completed my services because of wouldn't see her anymore! Even checked on me after i was out of the program. She's great and I would recommend her to anyone who asks??
