WELCOME TO MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS

We’re a Brooklyn-based therapy practice empowering individuals and couples to transform, grow, and cultivate self-compassion through resilience-building therapy.

Your mental health matters to us.

We believe that mental health matters and that everyone deserves access to high-quality, culturally responsive, and individualized therapy services. We offer inclusive, personalized therapy, tailoring our approach to your unique needs and goals to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and genuinely rooted for.

A haven for stillness in the city. 

We understand the rhythm of New York City—exhilarating yet exhausting, full of possibility yet overwhelming. In the midst of it all, we offer something rare: a moment to pause. A space to turn inward when everything else pulls you outward. We ask the hard questions because we believe in your capacity for transformation. Through deepening self-understanding and healing past wounds, we help you break cycles of self-doubt and build stronger relationships with the people who matter most.

Whether you’re facing life’s toughest moments or simply seeking personal growth, we’re here. We create a therapy experience that is deeply real, supportive, and empowering, fostering trust, growth, and lasting change. And in a city that never stops, prioritizing your mental health is the most valuable investment you can make.

Where feeling better feels possible. 

Therapy shouldn’t feel like just another thing to check off your list—it should feel like a space where you can show up, be real, and feel supported. Real change happens when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood, and that starts with building genuine connections rooted in trust. 

Our therapists bring the perfect mix of expertise, empathy, humor, and authenticity to every session. We specialize in supporting clients through anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, relationships, trauma, eating disorders, body image, and more. We’re here to help you create meaningful change, build resilience, and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others. With the right support and strategies, feeling better is not only possible but sustainable.

You belong here, just as you are.

At Mental Health Matters, everyone is welcome. celebrate all races, genders, abilities, and bodies, with a special focus on supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals to heal, grow, and thrive.

Take the first step toward feeling better today!

We create a therapy experience that feels like a true partnership, walking alongside you with expert insight to help navigate struggles and challenges. Together, we’ll break patterns, set boundaries, and help you start living life on your terms.

  • “I am immensely thankful for my current therapy experience. At first, it felt like a slow burn; it took 2 -3 months of my therapist Emily just truly listening, which initially scared me because past therapists seemed more active out of the get-go. I now realize how vital it was to my current care. I feel incredibly understood and think I am learning things I never knew about myself, and I feel I have the potential for growth with this therapist. My therapist also worked with me when I had life-impacting insurance changes to ensure care and was flexible with my weekly appointment time slot when needed.”

  • “Working with Stefania has been a major turning point in my life. She's pushed me to strengthen the relationship I have with myself, helped me "demystify" my anxiety, and brought a welcome voice of reason into my life. I always look forward to our sessions and leave them feeling both empowered and equipped with practical tools/strategies I can implement in my daily life.”

  • “Stefania is incredibly warm and welcoming, and from the first session I had with her, I felt comfortable talking about sensitive topics. I feel supported and safe as I'm guided through my healing journey. She is truly the best, and I wish everyone could have her as a therapist!”
