What I Offer

Psychotherapy sessions incorporate third-wave Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT), including approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). These advanced, evidence-based therapies blend traditional CBT techniques with mindfulness, acceptance, and emotional resilience practices to help you navigate challenges with greater flexibility and self-compassion. In these sessions, we’ll work together to identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns, build skills for managing stress and anxiety, and cultivate a more fulfilling, values-driven life. This approach is ideal for those seeking effective tools to support long-term mental well-being and personal growth.

Psychotherapy Using Third-Wave Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT)

Individual Therapy For More Mature Individuals

Life’s demands often become more complex as we grow older. Balancing family responsibilities, parenting, careers, and personal well-being can feel overwhelming. At times, you may find yourself grappling with challenges like major life transitions, the loss of a loved one, or adjusting to the realities of aging. These experiences can sometimes be complicated by clinical disorders such as anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, but these should never be seen as insurmountable obstacles to a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Therapy provides a compassionate space to navigate these challenges and manage any underlying mental health concerns. Together, we’ll work to explore your emotions, develop new perspectives, and find balance. My goal is to empower you to create the life you want, no matter the challenges you face.

Individual Therapy for Young Adults

As a young adult, life can feel confusing or uncertain, especially during big transitions or when faced with tough decisions about your future. You might feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected as you try to figure out your path. Therapy is here to help you gain clarity, understand your values, and develop the tools you need to move forward with confidence. Whether you’re starting a career, building independence, or exploring your identity, I’ll help you find direction and navigate life’s complexities with greater self-awareness and purpose.

Individual Therapy For Teens

Being a teenager can feel overwhelming. You might face pressure from school, friends, or family, and it can leave you feeling anxious, stressed, or unsure of how to handle life’s demands. If you’re struggling with these challenges, therapy offers a safe space to express yourself, explore your emotions, and learn skills to manage stress and build confidence. Together, we’ll work to help you navigate this stage of life with greater ease, while finding healthy ways to approach relationships, responsibilities, and your personal goals.

Relationship Counseling and Family Therapy 

Relationship counseling and family therapy provide a safe space to address conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen connections. These services are ideal for individuals, couples, or families facing recurring conflicts, emotional distance, life transitions, or challenges that strain relationships. If you’re a new parent or facing challenges with older or even adult children, parenting counseling can help. Whether it’s managing behavior, improving communication, or adjusting to new developmental stages, I’ll work with you to parent with confidence and build stronger family connections.

During these sessions, I help you explore patterns, foster understanding, and rebuild trust to create healthier, more fulfilling connections.

Guided Development Consultation

The Guided Development Consultation service is designed for individuals ready to build on the progress they’ve made in therapy or those at a life stage where deeper self-understanding is essential. In these sessions, you’ll work one-on-one with Ioanna to explore your core values, strengths, and needs, creating a clearer vision for your personal and professional future. This collaborative process helps you identify meaningful goals, overcome internal barriers, and gain confidence in your path forward. Guided Development Consultation is ideal for anyone seeking to achieve greater fulfillment, align with their purpose, and make intentional, informed choices for their next steps in life.

  • As a psychotherapist, my core belief is that empathy and mutual trust are the foundations of a strong therapeutic relationship—and of any truly meaningful connection. My primary goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported, allowing a genuine alliance to form. In this secure environment, and with the use of evidence-based strategies, you can freely explore your inner world, discover deeper fulfillment, and build the resilience needed to thrive.

  • I specialize in helping individuals manage challenges related to anxiety and mood disorders. If you experience any of the following symptoms, therapy can provide the support and tools you need to feel more in control and at ease in your life:

    • Persistent worry or racing thoughts

    • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

    • Avoidance of social situations due to fear or discomfort

    • Intrusive, repetitive thoughts or behaviors

    • Physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, dizziness, or shortness of breath

    • Overwhelming feelings of dread or panic

    These symptoms may be associated with conditions such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or panic disorder. The therapeutic approaches I use are evidence-based and tailored to help you address these challenges effectively. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to explore what’s underlying your distress and work toward calm, confidence, and balance.


  • I warmly welcome people from all cultural backgrounds to connect with me. With fluent English and a deep understanding of diverse perspectives, I’m committed to making therapy accessible and meaningful, regardless of language or cultural background. My experience working as a therapist in New York has enriched my practice and strengthened my ability to support individuals from around the world. If you’re an international resident seeking a safe, understanding space, please know that you’re invited to reach out.
