Dr. Susanne Bifano

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Sometimes words don’t fully capture our experiences or do them justice. My journey into this work began with the discovery that art, music, movement, and other forms of creative expression can communicate the parts of ourselves that language alone cannot reach. These expressions are deeply human and can become powerful pathways to insight, healing, and connection.

Margot Hoffman

Margot Hoffman

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I'm Margot Hoffman, LCSW, and I work with adults navigating grief, loss, and the disorienting terrain of major life transitions. My background spans residential treatment and outpatient settings — spaces where I worked alongside people carrying some of life's heaviest experiences: bereavement, addiction, trauma, and the kind of identity shifts that leave you wondering who you are now.

I bring warmth, directness, and the occasional well-placed laugh to this work. Therapy with me isn't stiff or scripted — it's real, it's honest, and it's entirely yours. I work with individuals and couples, and I see clients across New York via telehealth.

Jacqueline Switzer

Jacqueline Switzer

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I've spent nearly 20 years in community mental health - not behind a desk, but in group homes, care management, and direct support with people navigating some of the hardest chapters of their lives. That history shapes how I work:

I don't come in with a fixed formula. I come in with real attention. I hold two Master's degrees and I'm trained in CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. In practice, what that means is I use whatever genuinely helps you move forward. I work with adults and seniors across New York State via telehealth - including first responders, people managing chronic illness, women navigating major life transitions, and anyone carrying trauma they haven't fully named yet. I accept Aetna, Cigna, and Carelon Behavioral Health.

Gia Lioi

Gia Lioi

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in helping adults break free from long-standing emotional and relational patterns that keep them stuck in anxiety, disconnection, or self-doubt. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens not just through insight, but through learning how to feel safe, regulated, and connected both within yourself and in relationship with others.

I earned My Master’s degree in Social Work and is clinically trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS – Level 1), EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic-Based Practices, Ketamine Assisted Therapy, Psychedelics Integration, and Narrative Therapy. I integrate trauma-informed, nervous-system-focused approaches to help clients move beyond coping and into meaningful, embodied change. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and direct, supporting clients in developing self-trust while gently challenging patterns that no longer serve them.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked extensively in the health and wellness field, including roles in movement, bodywork, and mind-body practices. This background strongly informs my holistic approach to therapy and understanding of how emotional experiences are stored and expressed in the body. I pay close attention to how stress, trauma, and attachment wounds show up not just in thoughts, but in physical sensations, behaviors, and relationship dynamics.

In therapy, I help clients build emotional resilience, strengthen communication skills, and develop the capacity to stay grounded during uncomfortable or vulnerable moments. My goal is not to “fix” clients, but to help them understand themselves more deeply, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and create relationships and lives that feel aligned, fulfilling, and sustainable.

Therapist

Virtual • Stony Brook, NY


As a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) with 17 years of hands-on experience, I've had the privilege of guiding countless individuals through life's toughest moments, helping them rediscover their inner strength and joy. I graduated from Adelphi University in 2007, where I honed my skills in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, but what truly sets me apart is my deep commitment to seeing each client as a unique person with their own story, dreams, and potential. My practice is built on a foundation of empathy, integrity, and genuine care — I don't just listen; I truly hear you, validating your experiences without judgment. Over the years, I've supported people from all walks of life, whether they're navigating the fog of anxiety, the weight of grief, or the complexities of relationships, always tailoring my approach to what resonates most with you. Clients often tell me they feel an immediate sense of relief knowing they're in a space where vulnerability is met with compassion and expertise. I'm passionate about holistic well-being, incorporating mind-body connections and practical strategies that extend beyond the session room into your daily life. What drives me? Witnessing those transformative "aha" moments when someone realizes they have the power to shape their future. If you're ready to invest in yourself and explore how therapy can unlock a more empowered, fulfilling path, I invite you to reach out — let's start this journey together and see how far you can go.
