Provider Directory

Shannique Richards, PhD, is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in New York State and New Jersey and an Instructor in Medical Psychology in Psychiatry at the at Columbia University Medical Center.

I am a psychotherapist who specializes in working with survivors of trauma, violence, and childhood abuse and neglect, with a particular commitment to serving people of color and queer and gender non-conforming people. With a background in dance and movement therapy, I use an eclectic approach, combining "talk therapy" with somatic therapy for individuals still looking to find the words or to reclaim control of their bodies and lives. I am an interactive, non-judgmental, down-to-earth, and empathic therapist who believes that your experiences, however painful or chaotic, are worthy of being paid attention to. I can assist you in finding expression and healing and reclaiming your true self and life.

I specialize in all forms of anxiety (avoidance, overthinking, perfectionism, ocd), trauma, gender and sexuality, sexual functioning, relationships and borderline traits. I work with individuals, couples and groups, have advanced training in EMDR, DBT and EFT, and extensive experience serving members of the LGBTQ+ community. I'm a person as well as a therapist and I take pride in being a relatable, authentic provider.

Trained in the tradition of psychodynamic psychotherapy, I spent many years initially treating patients with severe and persistent psychiatric disorders and eventually teaching and supervising in the residency and psychology internship programs at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. After some additional years doing administrative work for the NYS Office of Mental Health (several facilities), I switched my focus from a public health perspective to independent practice, continuing my work individually with adults as well as with couples and families. Although my primary orientation toward psychopathology and treatment continues to be psychodynamic, I occasionally integrate some cognitive behavioral tools into the psychotherapy; I was certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy when the treatment was initiated at the facility in which I was an administrator.

Dr. Yonina Slochowsky is a clinical psychologist in private practice. She focuses on helping women experiencing medical issues, life transitions, infertility, and pregnancy/postpartum.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples living in New York State, Connecticut, and New Jersey - offering both in-person (NYC) and virtual sessions. As an attachment-oriented therapist, I help clients process trauma and attachment injuries, shift out of problematic behaviors and patterns, and deepen their connection to themselves and others.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist practicing remotely and in Long Island City. Areas of special interest to me include: depression, anxiety, problems related to sexuality, relationship issues, trauma, women’s health issues, couples work, expanding creativity/artist treatment, and individual work with adolescents and adults.

Areas in which I’ve received specialized training include: attachment theory and research; differential diagnosis; contemporary psychoanalytic theory; CBT and DBT protocols; and attitude research and theory, particularly attitudes about sexuality and sexual identity.

I received my undergraduate degree from Brown University and my Ph.D. from the Derner Institute at Adelphi University; completed my internship at North Central Bronx Hospital; and completed my Postdoctoral Fellowship at The New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute.

I'm Ivy Chim, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and somatic trauma therapist based in Brooklyn, NY. I specialize in complex trauma and childhood sexual abuse, working with women who are self-aware, have often tried therapy before, and are still finding themselves stuck in the same patterns, the same relationships, the same loneliness. My approach is somatic and relational, working with the whole person, not just their thoughts, because the body holds what the mind has tried to outrun. I follow the pace of your nervous system, building safety first, then going to the places that have never felt safe enough to visit. I trained in Somatic Experiencing, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Imago Relationship Therapy, therapeutic yoga, and breathwork. I offer individual therapy and intensive work for women ready to stop surviving and start living.
