Getting to know Karina Babina

Hi, I’m Karina—a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. I work with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in painful relationship patterns they’re ready to understand and transform. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling disconnected from themselves, struggling to set boundaries, or repeating cycles they can’t quite break. As a first-generation immigrant, I also understand the complexities of navigating multiple cultures, family dynamics, and identity. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and recovery from narcissistic abuse. My approach combines psychodynamic therapy and EMDR in a supportive, collaborative space. Together, we’ll explore the deeper roots of your challenges while developing practical tools for emotional clarity and confidence. Whether you're seeking meaningful change or simply a place to feel seen and understood, we will move at a pace that feels right for you.

I felt incredibly anxious before my first session with a therapist, considering some past experiences were quite challenging. However, within moments, she eased my fears with her kindness and genuine concern. She has a unique ability to bring out the best in me and has been incredibly patient as she walks with me on the path to recovery. I feel heard and supported in our sessions, and I appreciate her dedication to my well-being.
