Umema Tariq M.S, MHC-LP

Mental Health Counselor

You're the one everyone counts on. The friend people call first, the dependable sibling, the overachiever who somehow keeps it all together. But lately, you've been wondering, "Who's there for me?" If you're exhausted from carrying everyone else's expectations while quietly struggling with anxiety, burnout, relationships, grief, or figuring out who you are, you're not alone. Together, we'll create a space where you don't have to perform, fix, or have all the answers. My approach is culturally responsive, trauma informed, and grounded in IFS, CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness, and somatic work to help you heal, grow, and build a life that finally feels like your own.

Kelsey Bates

Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D, CRC

I specialize in working in with high achieving women navigating complex chronic illness, chronic pelvic pain and women’s health issues as well as the anxiety and grief that come along with it. My clients are striving to find stability with illness all while juggling their career, relationships and family. I absolutely love what I do and am a firm believer that day to day life can get so much better with a support team behind you.

You may be wondering why I niched in women’s health. Simply put, I get it. After living with chronic illnesses for fifteen years, struggling to find correct diagnoses, surgeries and countless treatments, I understand first hand the impact of women’s health issues on your mental health. I empathize with the toll it takes on your body and your most important relationships. I get the grief that comes with the loss of dreams you had for your future, struggling with your identity as a woman and feeling betrayed by your body. My hope is to use my therapeutic skills and real life experience to help you get to the other side.

I founded New York Women’s CBT and expanded to group private practice with the goal of providing niched, expert care for more women in New York. Our clinicians are experts and passionate about working within women’s health issues. We want to walk together through pain and grief you are feeling, help you cope with anxiety and feel the fog of depression lifted. Complex chronic illness and health issues are a part of your story-they do not have to be all of your story.
