Vassiliki Pappas (she/her)

I am a Provisionally Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MHC-LP) practicing in New York under the supervision of Lindsay McGarril and I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I have 6 years of experience working in various mental health settings and 1 year of counseling experience with a focus on guiding individuals through their mental health journeys and integrating mind-body principles into sessions. I specialize in working with teenagers and their families, young adults, and adults facing various challenges such as trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, life transitions, and PTSD.

My therapeutic approach is holistic, blending traditional talk therapy with movement-based techniques. By doing so, I aim to help clients regulate their bodies to a baseline state, facilitating the navigation of life's stressors. I strongly believe in leveraging an individual's innate strengths to empower them in overcoming obstacles, rather than fixating solely on problems.

In my practice, I tailor each session to the unique needs of my clients, recognizing that one size does not fit all in therapy. Drawing from a diverse toolkit, I utilize a combination of somatic interventions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and strengths-based interventions. Additionally, I incorporate elements of psychodynamic therapy to explore underlying patterns and promote deeper understanding and healing.

My ultimate goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their challenges, discover their resilience, and embark on a journey towards personal growth and fulfillment. If you're seeking compassionate guidance and holistic support on your mental health journey, I'm here to help.

Feel free to reach out to begin your transformative journey towards healing and self-discovery.
