Jennifer Nolan, LCSW-R
I believe that by engaging in therapy you have the opportunity to change and improve your life. Whether you are seeking help at this time due to challenging or unexpected life circumstances, or your difficulties are more long-standing, therapy can make a big difference. It can help you gain a more meaningful and fulfilling life, better understand yourself and your relationships with others, more effectively communicate, and discover new ways to cope in the world.
Everyone has their own unique story and I work to connect with and help you according to your individual needs. I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
A graduate from Columbia University School of Social Work, I am a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of experience as a practicing therapist. I have a post-master’s certificate in advanced individual therapy and have studied Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Currently, I am enrolled in psychoanalytic training at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Education affiliated with NYU Medical School.
I welcome you to contact me for a consultation session, where together we can evaluate your needs and develop a plan for our work together.

David W. Perkins, MSW, LCSW
What a joy it is that my job is to create an accepting, nurturing space for my clients to learn to be willing to observe their inner experiences with acceptance, compassion and love. I practice Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a mindfulness-based modality, to help my clients learn how to move towards valued directions and live a life of vitality and connectedness to self, others and the world. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience providing individual psychotherapy for adults of all ages. I currently offer telehealth appointments. You can use your cellphone, tablet or computer for online video appointments. I serve a diverse population of both men and women of varying sexualities including heterosexual, gender fluid and the LGBTQ community. My primary treatment modalities are evidence-based practices and I very much enjoy seeing clients obtain symptom relief and gaining the tools they need to be empowered to live their lives without being encumbered by mental health obstacles. My clients often tell me they are so happy to be seeing someone who is focused and gives them concrete tools to manage their symptoms and lives, including cognitive restructuring, mindfulness techniques, exploration of core beliefs and values, acceptance and problem solving. My goal is to empower you to achieve your goals and to live the life you envision for yourself, guided by your core values.
