I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience providing psychotherapy. I came to the field a bit later in life after exploring other pursuits as a young person in New York City, and I love this work. I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, struggles with identity, and life transitions. I love working with young people who are navigating adulthood and experiencing many "firsts". I believe in the importance of the clinical relationship and utilize a relational approach. I will meet you with empathy and curiosity. It’s important to me to help you identify ways to cope, to resolve intense symptoms, and to go beyond the mind by working with the body.

Dr. Zeleyka Fowler has extensive experience working with individuals and groups of diverse backgrounds. She uses holistic and integrative approaches to therapy and works with people to cultivate wellness through the exploration of their identities, fostering emotional awareness, highlighting healthy ways of managing relational conflicts, and coping with emotional distress.

My approach to therapy is strengths based and collaborative. Therapy will be a place for you to learn more about yourself and how to move your life in a valued direction. I am neurodiversity affirming, LGBTQIA affirming, and culturally responsive. Treatment will draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques rooted in goal-oriented strategies and interventions.

It can be hard deciding you want help and are worthy of it. Whether your challenges arise from trauma, relationships, life transitions, loss, school, work, or parenting, ultimately what you may be seeking is a change in your relationship to yourself. By inviting insight into the past and respect for the present, I cultivate compassion for self, and help clients, including couples, try out new ways of being in the world while acting consistently with their most cherished values. Your process of self-discovery, healing, and growth begins with collaboration and trust. I bring curiosity, warmth, and humor to the therapeutic relationship. Integrating skills based and psychodynamic approaches, I will creatively tailor science-informed techniques to your unique challenges and style of relating. I specialize in treatments for trauma/PTSD and couples or relationship problems. I also treat a range of issues arising from significant life transitions, including parenthood, workplace or school stressors, and the reproductive journey.

My approach is person-centered, DBT-oriented, and grounded in a trauma-informed, holistic, and culturally sensitive framework. I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to each individual’s unique needs and lived experiences. I place a strong emphasis on building practical, evidence-based skills—particularly DBT skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness—to help clients better manage emotions, navigate relationships, and cope with life’s challenges. My goal is to support clients in creating meaningful change while honoring where they are in the present moment.

Do you sometimes feel as though you are an actor, playing a role in public, but living very differently in private? Do you engage in behaviors that you might not be totally proud to reveal? Maybe its getting high, or gaming, or gambling or porn. To me, it doesn't really matter. and it doesn't really matter whether these actions are seen by others as "good" or "bad." My concern is you. If you are engaging in behaviors that you feel ashamed of, that you have tried to cut down or cut out but couldn't, then I want to help. We can work together to identify what is helpful and what is not, see where these behaviors fit into your life and make adjustments as needed. This is how I live my personal and professional life and I hope to be able to be of service to you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Hi! I'm Bernadette and I am a licensed clinical social worker and I received my MSW from Columbia University. I use a variety of clinical modalities rooted in CBT, EMDR, motivational interviewing and problem solving therapy. I have experience in working with issues related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, loss and grief, life transitions, interpersonal conflict, poverty, sexuality and gender, and stress management. My approach to therapy is guided by the firm belief that the strength of the therapist-client relationship is the most important element of successful treatment. Together, we will navigate the obstacles through a foundation of trust, transparency and maybe even some humor. I enjoy working with motivated clients who are seeking to make positive changes in their lives and I am committed to making this process as supportive as possible. I am committed to decreasing the barriers to mental health services and due to this, my practice is 100% virtual. Having this option allows us to build a strong therapeutic relationship where we are actively working on both short and long terms goals each time we meet. I will offer you real feedback rather than silent nods!
