Getting to know Imani Pressley

The provider is an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is Stori. I believe healing happens when we feel safe enough to bring our full selves into the room—mind, body, and spirit. My approach to therapy is warm, integrative, and deeply relational. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, faith transitions, or the weight of perfectionism, I aim to create a grounded and compassionate space where you can slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your authentic self. My work honors cultural identity, personal history, and the sacred intersections of each person’s story. Clients often describe our work together as both restorative and empowering—where insight meets self-compassion, and growth becomes a daily practice. Outside of therapy, I cherish time with loved ones, stay active through movement as a certified Zumba instructor, and love getting lost in a good podcast or learning a new recipe to cook. Supervised by Gloria Mucino, LCSW 11681. Additional ACTION is required to finalize your booking with Imani. If you book with Zocdoc, Stori's Care Coordinator will follow up with next steps to complete your booking.
