Hi! I'm Erin and I'm glad you found us here at Every Body Therapy. Individual psychotherapy and relationship counseling is my passion, and to do so, I take a collaborative approach where we can work together to set and achieve your goals. Some of my focus areas include career challenges, relationships, life transitions and body image. I bring warmth, compassion and even a bit of humor to my work in hopes of co-creating a truly affirming and comfortable therapy space. I am committed to social justice, inclusivity and expansiveness, and body liberation practices both personally and professionally.
I hold a BA in Liberal Studies from SUNY Purchase College and I received my Master's in Social Work from Yeshiva University. I am affiliated with the National Association of Social Workers as well as the New York State Society for Clinical Social Work.
Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in Human Resources where I gained extensive expertise in professional coaching and career development. Drawing upon this background, we can work together to identify and bring out your unique strengths and assets in a society that often tries to stifle them.
I genuinely enjoy working with people at all phases of their lives. For those who are looking to explore challenges or growth opportunities in the work world, I am able to bring my extensive HR and leadership experience to provide short-term career coaching. Coaching is a space in which we can develop and explore your skills, needs and values to find clear steps to achieve your career goals.
I look forward to providing a safe, welcoming and comfortable space where we can talk about anything and everything that's on your mind, heart, and soul.

Welcome! I’m Halie, and I’m glad you’re here. Taking this step matters, especially if your nervous system has learned to stay guarded or operate in survival mode.
My work begins with the nervous system. When someone has lived through trauma, chronic stress, or environments that felt unsafe or unpredictable, the body often stays on alert long after the threat has passed. Before focusing on insight or change, my priority is helping your system feel grounded enough to be present. We build steadiness slowly, consistently, and with care.
I pay close attention to how your body responds in session and we move at a pace that respects your history. I’m not interested in pushing, overwhelming, or asking you to revisit experiences before your system is ready. Regulation comes first. From there, clarity, connection, and deeper work become possible.
Our relationship is central to this process. Consistency, boundaries, and attunement matter, especially if trust has been disrupted in past relationships. I will be steady and transparent, and I invite you to be honest about what feels supportive and what does not. Your nervous system leads. If something feels too fast or not quite right, we slow down and listen.
This work is not about fixing you. Your responses make sense in the context of what you have lived through. Together, we help your body learn when it is able to soften, rest, and engage rather than brace or shut down. Strong emotions may arise, and we approach them with care, curiosity, and regulation rather than urgency.
My approach is trauma informed, body based, and relational. I integrate nervous system focused work, attachment oriented care, parts based approaches, and practical skills that support regulation and safety. I value the trust it takes to do this work and will meet you with steadiness, honesty, and respect as your system learns it does not have to carry everything alone.

Hi, I’m Danielle! If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by shame, or exhausted by the pressure to be different or somehow better, I’m so glad you found me. I specialize in helping people untangle from unrealistic expectations and reconnect—sometimes for the first time—to a version of themselves that feels more grounded, whole, and free.
Many of my clients come to me feeling like they’re “too much” or “not enough,” especially those who have spent years navigating trauma, body-based challenges, or the constant mental labor of managing a harsh inner critic. I have extensive experience working with trauma, PTSD, and complex trauma (C-PTSD), and I understand how these experiences can show up long after the original events—impacting mood, relationships, self-worth, and your ability to function day to day.
I also work with clients experiencing executive dysfunction related to neurodivergence, depression, and mood disorders—those moments where getting started, staying organized, or following through feels far harder than it “should.” Together, we make sense of these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment, and build tools that are actually realistic for your nervous system and your life.
Whether you’re navigating disordered eating, relationship anxiety, identity and self-image challenges, or the long aftershocks of trauma, I offer a space that is warm, nonjudgmental, and deeply collaborative. I have advanced training in treating eating disorders and body shame through a Health at Every Size (HAES) lens, and I am committed to supporting clients of all ages, sizes, and identities through a body-liberation framework. I also work with children (ages 8+) and adults managing anxiety, depression, stress, and emotional overwhelm, always meeting clients exactly where they are.
My therapeutic style blends structure with softness. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with elements of psychodynamic therapy, DBT, and IFS woven in. More than anything, I believe healing happens when you feel safe enough to be fully seen—and gently supported in moving toward your most authentic self.
Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s about learning, and truly believing, that you were never broken—just deeply impacted by experiences that required you to adapt.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, I’d love to connect and see if we might be a good fit.
I’m consistently moved by the vulnerability clients bring into the room, and I strive to meet that courage with presence, care, and compassion.

Hi, I’m Lexi! I’m a therapist by training, but before anything else, I’m a person, just like you. I know how exhausting it can be to keep moving through life while quietly carrying so much. On the outside, it might look like you’ve got it all together, but inside, you’re overwhelmed, burnt out, and unsure what direction to take next.
Whether it’s the nonstop chatter of anxious thoughts, relationship tension, career confusion, societal pressure, or lingering questions about who you are, it’s easy to feel disconnected and unsure of what you truly need.
Therapy with me is a chance to pause and reconnect. It’s a space to slow down, breathe, and explore what’s happening beneath the surface without needing to perform, have the right words, or figure it all out ahead of time. Just come as you are, and I’ll meet you there.
I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions, relationship challenges, body image concerns, and disordered eating. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, self-aware, and aligned with a life that actually feels good to live.
In our work, I show up as my full self — real, warm, sometimes funny, and always present. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and holistic. I consider your past experiences, current patterns, emotional landscape, and everyday life to help us understand what’s keeping you stuck and how we can begin to shift it.
I draw from psychodynamic therapy, CBT, DBT, ACT, EFT, IFS, and mindfulness practices, always tailoring our work to what’s most supportive for you.
Above all, I believe therapy works best when the relationship feels safe, collaborative, and authentic. That’s where real healing begins.
