Meet Daisha…

My name is Daisha. Pronounced Dai-like in Today. Sha- like sha!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, adventurer and corny joke lover who enjoys working with children, adolescents, adults and families who are looking to make changes in their lives. As a book buddy in elementary school I learned of the many avenues of the helping field and fell in love with psychology. So much so that I went on to obtain my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from S.U.N.Y. College at Old Westbury, Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Preliminary Clinical Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor Training at Long Island University C.W. Post. To further support clients, I have completed EMDR training and certification as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). Since graduating, I have had the pleasure of gaining a wide range of experience in settings including outpatient, school, family shelters, substance treatment facility and children’s residential treatment facility.

My goal is to facilitate transformation by helping clients understand their emotions, learn skills, increase confidence, heal from trauma, relieve anxiety, reduce depressive cycles, set boundaries, find balance in new life dynamics and feel empowered. I am direct, strength based, person centered and encourage my clients to be themselves. I am here to support you, as you are and as you desire to be.

My passion to help others allows me to connect evidence based modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Solution Focus Therapy, Mindfulness to modern life application. Modern life application speaks to the quote of “Modern problems, need modern solutions” with focus of acceptance of all and custom individualized therapy for your journey, culture, identity and family style.
