Heather Bliss

Heather Bliss

Therapist

Virtual • Summerville, NY


With 30 years of experience working with people of all cultures and backgrounds, I believe that learning more about oneself is a gift for our inner health. Therapy can be an important resource for clarifying concerns and formulating strategies which could lead to positive choices. My approach is open, non-judgmental and interactive. Therapy does not need to be a long term process but can be an effective tool for developing better coping mechanisms. I have experience working with children and adolescents; and adults.

Mikhail Glaz

Mikhail Glaz

Therapist

Virtual & in-person

303 5th Avenue, New York, NY

Reaching out is hard, especially if you've already tried therapy before and it didn't quite get you where you needed to go. I want you to know that doesn't mean something's wrong with you, it usually just means the approach wasn't the right fit. I've spent over a decade working with people carrying trauma and addiction, adults and teens both, and what I care about most is helping you feel truly understood, maybe for the first time, before we even get to the work of healing.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I've been doing this work for 28 years — and I'm still genuinely curious about the people I work with. I care about the whole arc of your life, not just the symptoms showing up right now. I integrate CBT, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and expressive arts, including music — depending on what each person actually needs. I'm LGBTQA+-affirming and bring a culturally responsive lens to every session. I don't assume, I ask. I work with adults across New York via telehealth, and I offer superbills that clients can submit to their insurance for potential reimbursement.

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.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


For more than 10 years, I have worked alongside people navigating serious mental health

challenges, career changes, and the everyday weight of keeping it all together. Whether

you are living with bipolar disorder, processing trauma, or figuring out your next step

professionally or personally, I bring both deep clinical training and lived perspective as a

working parent to our sessions. I would love to connect and start building something that

actually fits your life.

I received a B.A. in Psychology and an M.S. Ed. in Rehabilitation Counseling and Mental Health from Hofstra University. During my practicum and internship in a community clinic, I counseled people from 15-72 years of age with a range of mental health and vocational concerns. I developed a curriculum and led groups to build socialization skills in children ages 8-12. I also led a parenting skills group while at the clinic. As a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, I worked with clients to explore career choices and assist with finding, obtaining, and keeping employment. I am also a Certified Work Incentive Practitioner, which allows me to advise public benefit beneficiaries on their entry or return to competitive employment and its effects on their benefits.

Shih Han Lu

Therapist

Virtual • New York


As an Asian immigrant from Taiwan, I understand firsthand the pressures of balancing cultural expectations with life in the U.S.—like feeling torn between family obligations and personal goals, navigating identity in different cultural spaces, or struggling to express emotions that may not feel “acceptable” in your community. These experiences inform my work with clients who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected, especially when patterns from the past show up in relationships, work, or life transitions. With years of experience in private practice and community clinics in NYC, I create a compassionate, culturally attuned space for young adults, professionals, and anyone seeking to better understand themselves, explore their emotions, and build clarity, confidence, and resilience.

Psychologist

Virtual • New York


I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults and couples seeking to better understand themselves, make meaningful changes, and feel less stuck in patterns that no longer work for them. I aim to help individuals with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. I value honesty and openness in therapy and bring a warm but straightforward approach to my work. I recognize how vulnerable the therapeutic relationship can be; therefore, I strive to discuss what I notice constructively while creating space for you to be equally open with me. I see the therapeutic relationship and mutual trust as integral to creating meaningful change.
