Getting to know Ian Tera
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
I guide adults through anxiety, fear, and relationship or family challenges, creating a warm, collaborative space where you can explore what lies beneath the surface. Together, we’ll uncover patterns, gain insight, and develop practical, meaningful ways to move forward-always at a pace that feels right for you.
I bring a calm, open presence to sessions, creating space for you to show up as you are. Opening up can feel intimidating, but I help people feel at ease quickly so we can explore challenges together with curiosity and care.
If starting therapy feels intimidating, that’s completely normal. Life is busy, but slowing down to reflect and care for yourself can make a meaningful difference. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you take this brave step.
Ian Tera has a Master of Social Work from Hunter College -Silberman School of Social Work. Ian Tera is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW #128784) in New York at Cerebral. Supervised by Laura DeInnocentiis, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #095834 NY).
What should a new client know about working with you?
I became a therapist because I understand how overwhelming life can feel, and no one should have to navigate it alone. In our sessions, you’ll find a grounded, non-judgmental space where you are truly heard and supported. Together, we’ll focus on your strengths to navigate challenges and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
You'll find my clinical style is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused, blending empathy with accountability. I draw on evidence-based practices such as CBT, SFBT, and strengths-based approaches to help clients recognize patterns and create practical paths forward. With my grounded presence, I ensure clients feel supported and empowered as they work toward healing and growth.
