Our associates

  • Derek Crichlow, NYC Psychotherapist

    Derek Crichlow, LMSW

    I believe the qualities that make us different make us unique and can be used to our advantage, and it’s through embracing and celebrating these differences in therapy that we uncover deeper healing and personal growth.

  • Yasmine Hallab, NYC Psychotherapist

    Yasmine Hallab

    My work with clients is rooted in the belief that new possibilities lie beneath every unconscious pattern and that, in a therapeutic relationship, these ingrained patterns can be felt, understood, and transformed.

  • Nicole Koch, NYC Psychotherapist

    Nicole Koch, LMSW

    My work is grounded in the belief that healing takes place in a safe, attuned relationship. I help adults navigate the weight of trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression, offering a steady presence as we make sense of what’s been held alone and create space for new ways of being.

    My approach is rooted in the belief that therapy can help people overcome personal suffering while engaging a series of positive questions about what we want from love and work and what makes a satisfying and useful life.

    I bring warmth, curiosity, and enthusiasm to therapy, creating a safe, accepting space for reflection and growth. Together, we explore how past experiences shape present struggles, fostering understanding and transformation to enhance well-being and strengthen relationships.

  • Beth Sussman, NYC Psychotherapist

    Beth Sussman, LMSW

    I help individuals navigate the complexities of relationships and past experiences. My corporate background offers unique insights into the dynamics and stressors of the workplace. Together, we will create a collaborative space to explore challenges and spark transformation.

-D.W. Winnicott

We are a team of highly trained psychotherapists committed to providing thoughtful and effective care rooted in both contemporary and traditional approaches. With deep expertise and strong theoretical foundations, we approach our work with the seriousness and dedication it requires to help our clients achieve meaningful and lasting change. Our collaborative environment fosters ongoing learning and support among team members, enhancing our capacity to meet the diverse needs of our clients.

We believe that therapy begins with the experience of being known. Many of our clients come to us with histories of feeling unseen, unrecognized, or traumatized by the interplay between personal and social environments, and we acknowledge the complexities of each person’s past and present. Thus, our therapists are finely attuned to the critical balance between a client’s need to be fully understood and the necessity for the space and time to feel safe in the presence of another. In doing so, we create supportive environments where real progress can be made, ultimately guiding our clients towards more fulfilling and rewarding lives.

“It is a joy to be hidden, and disaster not to be found.”
