Getting to know Maryellen Knight
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
I imagine you're here because something doesn't feel like it's working in your life. Maybe you're carrying a constant weight of worry and find yourself chronically overthinking, or you feel overwhelmed by life's challenges and unsure how to keep going. Or maybe you've been trying so hard to do everything right, yet you still don't feel good enough. You don't have to figure it out alone. I'm here to help you navigate your emotions and identify what you need to feel better, based on your unique circumstances and the experiences that shape who you are.
I specialize in supporting clients adjusting to big life changes, struggling with hopelessness, having intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, and experiencing difficulty in relationships. I find the people I work with are often their biggest critic and overlook their strengths. I provide an open, warm space where you can feel calm and self-accepting.
I believe that laughter is medicine and part of being human, so there's always room for joy in therapy. You deserve to have this space for yourself and to feel better. Starting therapy can feel scary, but we'll navigate it together. With compassion and without judgment, we'll discover what's keeping you stuck and work toward helping you move forward.
Said one of Maryellen's patients:
"This is my first experience going to therapy and I have had a really wonderful experience. I have recommended Resilience Lab to almost everyone I know who is looking to start therapy. They made it so easy to find a provider who takes my insurance and get started. She is incredibly understanding of my schedule and is flexible to work with me."
Maryellen Knight has a Master’s in Counseling from CUNY Hunter College. Maryellen is a Mental Health Counselor with a Limited Permit, MHC-LP 18-P130883-01 at Cerebral. Supervised by Dr. Jason Styka, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Psy.D 021946.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My ideal client is someone open to exploring new approaches to improve their mental health. I work with adults of all ages, adolescents, and couples, especially those navigating life transitions, anxiety, and depression. Many of my clients struggle with low self-esteem and negative beliefs rooted in childhood experiences, and I’m here to provide the support they need to move forward.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
It’s about having a space that is entirely your own—a sanctuary where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. In this space, you are free to express whatever is on your mind, whether it’s your deepest fears, greatest hopes, or anything in between. You can come as you are, knowing that you will be met with understanding and compassion. This environment is designed to be a calming refuge, where you can practice self-compassion, gain insight, and work toward healing and growth. It’s a place where your voice is heard, your emotions are validated, and your journey is honored.
As endorsed by Alex Feldman on Psychology Today:
"Mary creates a safe space for clients to be challenged and grow. She is compassionate and thoughtful in her work."
