Hi, I’m Angelica! I am currently completing my clinical internship while pursuing my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at The City College of New York. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Marist University, where my interest in counseling deepened through working closely with students and young people navigating academic, emotional, and personal challenges. Since then, I have gained experience supporting children, adolescents, and college-aged individuals in school and community settings through mentorship, psychoeducation, and emotional support services.
I approach counseling with empathy, authenticity, and the belief that meaningful growth happens when individuals feel safe, understood, and empowered in the therapeutic space. My work is grounded in a person-centered foundation while incorporating an integrative approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and existential therapy to support each client’s unique needs and experiences. I strive to create a collaborative and culturally responsive environment where clients can explore challenges, deepen self-awareness, and build on their existing strengths. As someone who speaks both English and conversational Spanish, I value honoring each person’s identity, background, and lived experience throughout the counseling process.
We provide compassionate support through individual, couples, and family therapy, helping you explore emotions, strengthen relationships, and build tools for lasting growth.
"The quality of staff at New Leaf is superb. I would describe their attitude as excellence. At a struggle point in my career and family life, the guidance I received at New Leaf was nothing short of a miracle. If anyone has mental health needs to be taken care of, they would be lucky to be served by New Leaf."
“I was nervous about starting therapy again after a difficult past experience, but New Leaf made the process simple and welcoming. From the first call, they helped me understand my insurance options and matched me with a therapist who truly listens. For the first time, I feel like I’m making real progress—learning to manage my anxiety and set boundaries. Their culturally responsive approach made me feel seen and valued.”
"If you’re looking for a network of therapists who are empathic, flexible and knowledgable, this is the place to go! 10/10!"
“Finding a therapist in NYC felt overwhelming until I found New Leaf. The team was caring and responsive, and I appreciated how flexible they were with scheduling. My partner and I started couples therapy here, and it’s completely changed the way we communicate. We’ve built trust again and feel more connected than ever. Having a diverse team that understands different perspectives made a huge difference in our experience.”
