Cindy L. McGinley
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CCTP, CHt
Experience more joy in your life and relationships! Get unstuck, stop living from fear, learn how to trust again, regain or improve your self-esteem, and simply work on feeling better. Have your sessions in the more-than-human world, out in the fresh air, supported by nature in a private space and/or in the wonderful healing presence of horses, or by teletherapy if you prefer. My SpiritedScience® programs offer solace in the spirit(s) of nature and are especially appropriate for those who may not thrive in a conventional psychotherapy setting.

Michaela Smith
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I am a licensed psychotherapist based in New York City and have been practicing for three years. My educational background includes masters degrees in Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling, which have allowed me extensive clinical experience with children, adolescents, young adults, adults and couples. Since my education covers a number of different populations and settings, I have been lucky enough to work with many different disorders and struggles.
During my free time, I enjoy walking my dog through the neighborhood, spending time with my family, trying new restaurants and exercising.
If you are interested in working with me, I am always happy to chat via phone or email to reassure clients and provide clarification to ensure that we are a good fit before beginning to work together. I look forward to hearing from you!

Stefani Melendez
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CTMH,CAGCS
Starting therapy for the first time can be an overwhelming experience, and it’s completely normal to feel a mix of emotions. My priority is to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel both comfortable and understood. Together, we’ll focus on your unique strengths and explore how you can harness them to navigate challenges and find solutions that resonate with you.
We’ll work on building your resilience by developing a toolbox of coping skills that you can rely on during tough moments. In addition to a strengths-based approach, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, which can help you identify and modify thoughts and behaviors that may be holding you back. Our sessions will be tailored to your specific goals, incorporating elements like problem-solving, stress management, relaxation techniques, and even role-playing exercises to enhance your assertiveness/communication skills.
I have experience working with adults aged 18-65 on a variety of issues, including grief, racial trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, career counseling, life transitions, relationship challenges, college and graduate school concerns, communication difficulties, and women’s issues. If you're feeling unsure about how to start, anxious about past experiences, or worried about being judged, I encourage you to reach out. You can click the Headway booking link located in my contact info on my profile to schedule your first appointment. I’m here to support you on this journey, every step of the way!

Michael Lockwood of Scene Creative Life Solutions
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
Diving into the intricacies of the human mind during my undergraduate years, my focus settled on the connection between trauma and creative expression. This passion evolved, leading me to pursue a Master's Degree at University of Southern California. I've had the privilege of aiding individuals from diverse backgrounds in conquering challenges like depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, addiction, self-worth issues, and relationship discord. My clientele spans the spectrum, including fine artists, members of the entertainment industry, writers, and performers.
What fuels my dedication is the belief that everyone has the capacity to overcome obstacles and fulfill their life's purpose. In our initial conversation, I'm confident my enthusiasm for helping individuals, fostering self-expression, and navigating life's hurdles will become apparent. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet with you, delve into your unique needs, and collaborate on solutions for your concerns.
