Khristian Taveras, LMSW

Psychotherapist
NY
As a Black man and Brooklyn native, I understand the importance of feeling seen, heard, and supported. My passion is helping individuals, families, and communities transform life's challenges into opportunities for healing, growth, and resilience. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based care, creating a space where you can show up as your authentic self without judgment. I believe healing extends beyond the individual. When people heal, families grow stronger, communities become more connected, and future generations benefit. I'm especially passionate about supporting historically marginalized and underserved communities by helping clients recognize their strengths, find their voice, and build the confidence to create meaningful change in their lives. My goal is simple: to help you move from surviving to thriving—with hope, purpose, and the tools to build the life you deserve.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. I believe the best therapy happens when you feel comfortable showing up as your authentic self, asking difficult questions, and celebrating your progress along the way. Together, we'll identify practical strategies that fit your life while building the confidence and resilience to navigate challenges both now and in the future. Above all, I want every client to leave our sessions feeling heard, supported, and empowered—with the tools to create meaningful change long after therapy ends.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The first few sessions are focused on getting to know you—your story, your strengths, your concerns, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. Together, we'll identify meaningful goals and develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your needs and values. As therapy progresses, we'll explore patterns, build practical coping skills, and work through challenges at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to your unique experiences. Throughout the process, you'll have a supportive, nonjudgmental space to reflect, grow, and celebrate your progress. Therapy is not about having all the answers—it's about creating a partnership that empowers you to build resilience, gain insight, and make lasting changes that support your well-being.
