Cheryl Moskowitz, LCSW

Do you find yourself wanting more for yourself but not sure of where to begin? Does self-doubt get in your way of revealing who you are? These questions and many more are where we begin. Everyone has a story to tell but may not know the way to tell it out loud. I believe that speaking your truth is therapeutic and choosing to seek support is extremely powerful. I believe in authenticity and providing a space where you can be and find your best self.

I have over ten years of experience providing therapeutic spaces to children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I use an eclectic approach and tailor supports to fit your needs. I believe in the healing process that occurs in individual, family, group, and couples therapy. I am here to join with you and provide you with the support you deserve.

I have a post master's certificate in Clinical Practice with Adolescents from NYU School of Social Work and completed an Emotional Focused Therapy Externship with the New York Center for Emotional Focused Therapy.

Janice Tom-George, LMSW

I am a licensed Social Worker with over 25 years of experience providing individual and family therapy with adults and children. My goal is to provide a warm, caring, non- judgmental environment, one which values your religious beliefs and cultural diversity, to facilitate the life changes needed to achieve your full potential. My practice involves working with adults with interpersonal conflict, domestic violence, career related issues, relationship issues, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, sexual abuse and trauma. My treatment is eclectic, incorporating therapies such as Solution-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) therapy and Trauma Focused therapy.

Sally Stone, MA, LMHC

I am a licensed psychotherapist, who provides tele-mental health counseling services to meet the needs of various populations. For several years, I served people from all backgrounds. I have significant experience with the LGBTQIA community, individuals who are gender fluid, non-binary, and who are of all ethnic and religious backgrounds.

My participants are usually:

1) navigating major transitions in their lives

2) experiencing relationship or marital discord

3) dealing with recurrent trauma, and are having challenges coping with stressors.

I don't believe in a “one-size fits all” therapeutic approach; I primarily employ person-centered, strength-based, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused-brief therapy when working with participants.

Yvanessa Demosthenes, MSW

My name is Yvanessa Demosthenes and I am a graduate student at St. Bonaventure University seeking a degree in Clinical Mental Counseling. As an intern, I am learning about core counseling skills, how to apply them while working with clients, and to always provide a safe space for each client to feel comfortable. I am passionate about Mental Health Counseling due to my desire to make sure that every individual has access to counseling and support to overcome life-associated stressors. 

Most recently, I worked with an organization in partnership with HRA as a member of the Administrative team. My time in that role allowed me to serve members of the public who were experiencing homelessness and housing issues, rebuilding their lives after incarceration, and financial hardships along with life stressors.

I was born in Haiti, migrated to the United States at nine years old, and I often go back to visit my family. I am fluent in English and Haitian Creole. During my spare time, I like to travel, bake, do yoga, and spend time with friends and family.

Hi! My name is Jennifer Hu, and I am currently a graduate student at St. Bonaventure University. I am working towards a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I was born and raised in New York City and feel strongly about helping others. I enjoy doing this type of work because it gives my life meaning and purpose. I am passionate about the things that matter to me, and my future counseling practice is one of them. 

I hope to provide a warm and comforting environment for my clients to share their ups and downs. My goal is to provide clients a nonjudgmental ear, a place to safely explore difficult emotions and situations, to help them increase their psychological tool set, and the find some sense of agency and clarity. I want to provide enough support for my clients so that they can go into the world with confidence that they can handle life's challenges, but to also to know that they have someone to help them when they feel overwhelmed.

Jasmine Jones, LMSW

Welcome! I am glad you stopped in. Making the decision to start therapy can yield a myriad of emotions therefore job well done. Life sometimes has a way of throwing curve balls that can be difficult to navigate however you are not alone and together we will work through identified challenges. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and career and relational issues utilizing eclectic therapy while incorporating solution-focused, strength-based, and cognitive behavioral therapy. As everyone has a different life experience and a unique way of seeing and/or engaging with the world the therapeutic approach is not a one size fits all. I believe providing and fostering a safe and supportive environment further assists in improving the communication of thoughts and discovery as well as enhancing strengths and narrative that highlight and enable you to be your authentic self. I look forward to working with you and thank you.

Stress comes in many shades, regardless of what we face, with no discrepancies of importance, changing how we feel begins with changing our perspective. I aim to guide you through these life challenges and rebuild the mindset that these negative encounters have influenced.

My experience has been working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with various concerns that include Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, Social Anxiety, maturity and life choices, career and job issues for young and mature workers, relationship and peer group problems.

I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Humans Services at Metropolitan College of New York and my Master’s Degree in Social Work at Touro University in New York. As a result, I have over 20 years of experience across various settings. While serving in the United States Army I was able to provide counseling services to military personnel. I worked with a range of populations including children, teens, adults, the LGBT community. In addition, I have worked at inpatient psychiatric facilities, large non-profits and was a first responder for over 21 years. I believe what you are today will not be what you are tomorrow. My goal is to provide a safe environment during the counseling process where clients can explore their primary interests, develop goals, determine their strengths and assets as they move toward their aspirations. I use various modalities to help individuals accomplish all the goals they desire.
