Dr. Jo Anne Durovich

Dr. Jo Anne Durovich

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I work with high-functioning women — professionals, caregivers, high-achievers, first-generation successes — who've spent years being the strong one, the reliable one, the one everyone else leans on. You don't have to be in crisis to belong here; many of the women I work with are functioning exceptionally well by every external measure, which is exactly why the internal cost so often goes unseen, even by themselves. I understand that perfectionism, chronic self-doubt, difficulty resting, and over-responsibility for other people's feelings aren't individual defects — they're adaptive responses to systems that taught you your worth was conditional on your output. If you've been in therapy before and left feeling like the goal was to help you cope with your life rather than question the parts of it that aren't working, I offer something different. I'm not here to help you perform wellness more efficiently. I'm here to help you gain insight into what shaped you.

Jihan Nacel

Jihan Nacel

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I'm Jihan — a bilingual LCSW, second-generation Cuban/American Latina, and relational therapist

based in New York City, offering Telehealth sessions across New York State. I have four years of

clinical experience working with adults and adolescents across a range of concerns: anxiety, grief,

ADHD, major life transitions, trauma, burnout, and the kind of identity work that comes with being

young, bicultural, or figuring out who you are in a world that doesn't always have room for

complexity.

I'm proudly LGBTQ+ affirming and see clients across the gender and sexuality spectrum.

I work best with adolescents, young adults, and adults in the middle of something — a transition, a

loss, a recognition that old patterns aren't working. I'm not here to foster dependency or give you a

script for your life. I'm here to help you build the kind of self-understanding that goes with you.

I am a trauma therapist who helps adults heal from painful experiences, long standing emotional patterns ,and the stress that can build up in both the mind and the body.

My style is warm, direct , and thoughtful, and I work with clients who want more than symptom relief - they want deeper understanding, lasting change, and a stronger sense of self. I also bring a wellness perspective to therapy, recognizing the impact of stress, sleep, lifestyle and the nervous system health on emotional well-being.

Erik Mejia

Erik Mejia

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Great to meet you!

The relationships we have with other people often begin with the relationship we have

with ourselves. When those relationships feel strained—or when anxiety, stress, or past

experiences start getting in the way—it can be difficult to know how to make

things better.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and

families to better understand those patterns and create meaningful change.

Therapy doesn't have to be about someone telling you what you're doing wrong. I see it as an opportunity to understand yourself more deeply, recognize the strengths you already have, and figure out what you want to be different.

We'll work together to get there.

As part of Breathable Mental Health, my goal is to make therapy feel approachable and collaborative—a place where you can better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and create meaningful change.
