About

Hi, and welcome! I'm so glad you're here.My name is SV, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based on Long Island, New York, providing therapy to individuals throughout New York State.I am passionate about supporting people as they navigate life's many challenges, transitions, and personal journeys. My goal is to create a safe, authentic, and supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we'll work collaboratively to identify your goals, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change that helps you move toward the life you want.

Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My passion for working with neurodivergent adults comes from a deep respect for and understanding of both the unique challenges and strengths that come with neurodivergence. Through both my personal and professional experiences, I have seen the meaningful growth that can happen when individuals gain a deeper understanding of their needs, strengths, and goals. I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent adults in building self-awareness, embracing their authentic selves, and creating lives that align with who they are.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I take a neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based approach to therapy and strive to create a space where you feel understood, respected, and comfortable being yourself. I believe that everyone has unique strengths, even when they may be difficult to recognize during times of stress or uncertainty. Together, we'll build on those strengths while exploring the challenges that may be getting in the way of living the life you want. I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to work collaboratively with you in a way that feels supportive, individualized, and aligned with your values.
