My approach is down to earth, genuine, and supportive. To me, modern therapy is about real people having real conversations; so while I use evidence-based clinical practices, I make therapy feel like coffee with a good friend who helps guide you towards solutions to your problems for the world we live in today. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy - I take an eclectic and person-centered approach to each mom I serve.

Dr. Eleanor McGlinchey specializes in therapy for depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties, emotion regulation, and child & adult sleep problems. I am also particularly interested in helping new parents who are struggling with either their baby's sleep or their own sleep (or both!). Sleep and rest are often neglected in our lives. Yet as soon as we prioritize it, we find it evades us. My goal is to help you find rest – whether that means changing your behaviors to promote better quality sleep, challenging worries that drain your energy, or equipping you with effective communication skills to build the social support you need to thrive in your daily rhythm. As a sleep specialist, I will help you uncover and change habits and thoughts that are holding you back from restful sleep and full daytime energy. I also specialize in treating depression, anxiety and relationship concerns and I strive to remain curious about your specific experiences so I understand how best to help. We will work together to help you discover ways to connect meaningfully with the people in your life and challenge assumptions that may be holding you back from realizing your full self-worth.

Olivia Bergeron, LCSW is a psychotherapist and parent coach who helps parents navigate the huge changes that come with having a child. Whether you're experiencing a sense of overwhelm, stress and anxiety during or after having a baby, or you've run out of ideas about how to manage your toddler's (or big kid's!) tantrums, Olivia works with you to create lasting change. She does this by providing clients with therapy or coaching or a hybrid of both. Olivia is a mom to twins and a singleton, so she understands the demands that come with parenting in New York City. Once her children arrived, Olivia realized that many women and men were not getting the help and support they needed to live in a balanced, joyful way. She heard from parents that becoming a mother or father was unendingly frustrating, difficult and just not the way they had imagined it. "Why didn't anyone tell me it would be this hard?" was a frequently heard refrain. And so, Mommy Groove Therapy & Parent Coaching is dedicated to creating happy, healthy families. Olivia offers help, whether you are seeking to make changes in your life, need to address anxiety/depression, or wish that you had a brighter north star when it comes to parenting. There is no need to go it alone.

My name is Sandra Remy and I am a childbirth educator, doula, peer breastfeeding counselor, social worker, and proud mother of 4! I enjoy pulling from all of these roles and utilizing them to support my work with expectant mothers and their families. I believe that birth is a sacred process and should be treated as such. I also believe that having the birth experience that you desire takes preparation and intentional planning which is why I am a strong advocate for childbirth education. Having knowledge of the process of birth places you in a better position to advocate for yourself, baby, and family. It further develops your self-confidence and your confidence in your innate ability to give birth, and this is key to curating the birth experience you desire. If you are seeking someone who will: see you, hear you, respect your intellect and intuition, while also being compassionate, patient, and supportive of you as you prepare to birth you baby, then I encourage you to get in contact with me.

I am a perinatal mental health certified art psychotherapist supporting those who identify as caregivers in cultivating creative resilience. My psychotherapy approach is grounded in principles of cultural humility, humanism, and the healing power of an empathic creative process. I believe that the act of creating something——in any form——with embodied, full presence can combat burnout and stress symptoms, while engaging the symbolism within a work of art or art-making process can lead to insight into deeper conflict or sometimes hidden issues through the safe distance of metaphor. Whether it's through verbal psychotherapy, an active creative process, or combination of the two, the lens through which we explore concerns is focused on self discovery, healing, and empowerment.

I am a Clinical Psychologist specializing in Women's mental health, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADS), and relationship issues.
