Getting to know Natalia Derina
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but it's also an act of courage and self-care. Whether you're grappling with procrastination, anxiety, perfectionism, ADHD, OCD, depression, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can be a space to find clarity, confidence, and direction. My goal is to create that space for you: warm, compassionate, and judgment-free-where you can show up fully as yourself and feel truly seen, heard, and supported.
Together, we'll dig deeper. I know how frustrating it is to feel overwhelmed by habits you can't break, weighed down by depression, or triggered by emotions that feel out of control. With curiosity and compassion, we'll explore the roots of these struggles, uncovering patterns and experiences that hold you back. At the same time, we'll build practical tools to help you move forward-whether managing emotions, improving focus, breaking free from perfectionism, or quieting self-doubt.
My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive, blending evidence-based methods with deeper exploration. I'm LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to creating a space where your identity, experiences, and story are not just respected but celebrated. Here, you'll find understanding and support for challenges weighing on you, whether big or small.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from Hunter College, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively on your journey.
Imagine your life with more ease. What would it feel like to move through your day without the heaviness of depression? To approach tasks with focus and confidence? To navigate social situations without second-guessing yourself? To manage stress and emotions without feeling overwhelmed? Together, we'll build the clarity, tools, and self-compassion you need to create a life that feels balanced, lighter, and more aligned with your values.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our work together starts with understanding you—your experiences, challenges, and what brought you to therapy. In our first few sessions, we’ll explore your concerns, clarify your goals, and identify what’s been holding you back. From there, we’ll take a two-fold approach: uncovering deeper patterns that contribute to your struggles while also building practical tools to help you navigate daily life with more ease. Sessions are interactive and tailored to your needs, blending evidence-based strategies with a compassionate, trauma-informed perspective. Over time, we’ll track progress, adjust our approach as needed, and celebrate your growth as you move toward a more fulfilling, balanced life. Whether you’re seeking immediate relief or long-term transformation, therapy is a space where you can show up fully as yourself and be met with understanding, encouragement, and actionable steps forward.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $150 for 50 minutes
Ongoing session: $150 for 50 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
Before your first session, we recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm the status of your deductible, copay, and any coinsurance amounts. Insurance plans vary, and these details help avoid surprises once claims are processed.
Please also note that No Shows or Late Cancellations (for the first session) incur a $150 out of pocket fee.
