Override Hero Title

I believe in continuing the pursuit of normalizing mental health treatment. It can be challenging going through the process of accepting and creating the momentum to take those steps, but it is a testament to your personal strength. I have been providing therapy services since 2021 as a Licensed Master Social Worker, and have been providing services as a fully licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2025. I work with clients between the ages of 18-75 who experience a range of mental health conditions and needs.

I am proud to call myself a New Yorker and a South Asian immigrant, who has spent nearly three decades helping clients navigate our healthcare system. I am a licensed Therapist, with additional Masters degrees in communication and management. I have worked both in some of the largest hospital systems including New York Presbyterian and NYU Brooklyn, as well as smaller community clinics and mobile crisis. My diverse experience provides me with a solid foundation of the complexities in dealing with mental health, with a strong knowledge of both therapy and medication management. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, PTST, OCD and bipolar, in addition to severe mental illness. I enjoy interacting with clients of all ages and backgrounds, including couples and families. I tailor my sessions to meet the individual needs of clients and families.

I work with high achieving, type A women. Together, you and I will create ways to stop being a people pleaser, have more time for yourself, find balance instead of burnout, feel joy, and create joy for yourself and those around you. Get rid of the guilt and the exhaustion from focusing on everyone but yourself. Learn what makes you happy! What makes you thrive! Learn holistic, self-care that makes you feel amazing.

Hi! I’m Mariel Feld, a licensed clinical social worker with over seven years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in working with people facing depression, trauma, and major life transitions.

I’ve been working with women, children and families for over 15 years in individual counseling, group settings, and program development. My expertise lies in helping people understand their own emotional experience, to use words not violence, to cope, to reduce impulsive and compulsive behavior, to advocate for themselves.

I believe to live fully, we must feel. Intensely. Viscerally. Freely. To feel pride and pain, joy and frustration. To taste the freedoms of life, as well as its restraints. To reconcile thoughts, actions and emotions that are often at odds. To square all of this with culture, beliefs, and history. To live fully is when a sense of equity, equality and balance is awakened. To live fully is to gain perspective and know that you can weather all of it, and not be overcome by these complexities, but learn to integrate them, for a full life.

Hello! I am Kerry. I am a clinical social worker with over 6 years of experience in the field. I have experience working with a variety of ages and have supported clients in both individual and family therapy. I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive space for individual growth to take place.

I started my career as a litigation attorney in Ireland where I grew up. I spent many years working in law and financial services in the US, Australia, and China. Most recently, I worked as a therapist for a community activist organization.

​

I was drawn to therapy from my prior career having seen firsthand the enormous value it can bring in improving both the quality and enjoyment of our lives. Therapy offers us a safe space to explore the parts of ourselves we cannot access in the midst of our daily routines. When we get right down to it, the quality of the relationships we have with others flows from the relationship we have with ourselves.

I live in Brooklyn with my husband, our two kids and a mildly anxious dog, whose interest in therapy is limited to eating her feelings. I work with clients both in person, in mid-town Manhattan, and remotely.

I started my work with infants and young children, guided by a simple belief: when we understand the meaning behind behavior, everything in a family can begin to shift. I use play as a primary way to connect with children and understand their inner world. Through play, children express thoughts and feelings they may not yet have words for. By joining them in this space, I’m able to better understand their experiences and help them feel seen, supported, and safe.

My path to becoming a therapist began in children’s media, where I spent fifteen years project managing educational content. That experience shaped how I see children today—curious, expressive, and constantly communicating, even without words.

I went on to earn my Master’s degree from New York University, training at the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Center, where I deepened my understanding of how music and play can help children feel seen, regulated, and understood.

My clinical work has included early intervention, a specialized school for autistic children and young adults, and an elementary school supporting students with hearing loss and communication differences. Across these settings, I saw how powerful it is when a child is truly met where they are.

In 2023, I founded Sound Mind to create a more individualized, relationship-based practice—one where I can connect deeply and tailor my work to each child and family.

I’m Lauren, an LCSW with experience supporting clients through anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and major life changes. I’m friendly, down-to-earth, and work in a way that helps you feel comfortable and heard. Together, we’ll focus on learning new skills, understanding patterns, and creating space for growth at your own pace.
