Hello, I'm Natalia. Are you feeling overwhelmed, tired, and worn with all your responsibilities as a young adult woman? Maybe feeling anxious, down, or depressed and wondering how you will manage it all? Whether you’re a mother, a daughter, a student, or an employee, you matter, and behind all that you do is a woman wanting to be seen and heard. You Are Not Alone, and you don’t have to do life alone. In our sessions, you will be listened to, understood, and given practical evidence-based tools and techniques to manage difficult emotions while you learn to care for your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. This is your life, your decision to make it better, and you can be empowered to live it at your best. If you’re ready for that empowerment or even considering it, I am here to help. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from City University of New York, Lehman College, which equips me to support you with compassion and expertise. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hola, soy Natalia. ¿Te sientes abrumada, cansada y desgastada con todas tus responsabilidades como joven adulta? ¿Te sientes ansiosa, decaída o deprimida y pensando cómo manejar todo lo que tienes en tu plato? Si eres madre, hija, estudiante o empleada, tú importas y detrás de todo lo que haces está una mujer que quiere ser reconocida. No estás sola y no tienes que vivir la vida sola. En nuestras sesiones, serás escuchada, entendida, y te daré herramientas y técnicas prácticas comprobadas para manejar esas emociones difíciles mientras cuidas tu bienestar físico, emocional y mental. Esta es tu vida, tu decisión para mejorarla, y puedes ser empoderada para vivirla mejor. Si estás lista para ese empoderamiento o lo estás considerando, estoy aquí para ayudarte.

What should a new client know about working with you?

After meeting for our first session, I want you to leave feeling excited for the journey of discovering who you are and who you can become. It won’t be easy. Change never is. But it’s through the process of learning more about your needs, practicing your best forms of self-care, and consistently reflecting on how well you’re doing, that you’re going to see the positive impact of change. As our sessions continue, you will feel more confident in creating boundaries around your time, mental space, and energy. You will have a peace of mind knowing all your hard work is worth it because you are worth it.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
