Therapist

Virtual • New York


I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first session. Building trust is important to me, and I understand that starting therapy can feel like a big step.

I bring over eight years of experience working in diverse settings, including crisis intervention, child welfare, and substance use treatment. This has allowed me to support individuals and families through a wide range of challenges with compassion and flexibility.

My approach is collaborative—I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method. We will work together to identify your goals and find strategies that feel right for you. I also value cultural sensitivity and take the time to understand your background, identity, and lived experiences as part of the healing process.

I offer services in French and Wolof and welcome clients from all backgrounds. My goal is to support you in building insight, developing practical tools, and creating lasting, meaningful change in your life.

David Kraus

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hello. I am a master's level licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York who has 15+ years clinical experience helping people improve their overall quality of life. Individuals I have successfully worked with have come from diverse populations of all ages who had been diagnosed with a wide range of minor to severe mental health and medical diagnoses.

Environments I have worked and developed skills in include mental health clinics, child and family services, substance use clinics, refugee shelters, Catholic Health, nursing home, tele-counseling, and an Independent Living Center, fighting for the rights of and assisting those with any form of disability to get their needs met, while fostering dignity of choice. I have helped individuals overcome many barriers including trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, family issues, major life stressors, and other significant changes.

Should you choose to work with me I will do my best to set up a safe, non-judgmental, and comfortable environment in which we can work at whatever pace suits you to solve any problems you want to move past. Being a member of a social species all humans need help from others to support them in reaching their full potential; my goal as a counselor is to form a person centered therapeutic relationship with those I partner with to assist them in finetuning and/or developing whatever tools they will need to achieve their overall life goals as they build the future they desire to live.
