Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York
Amy Acaba, LMHC, PMH-C
Licensed Mental Health Counselor | Clinical Director and Supervisor
Are you struggling with a pattern of over-extending yourself? Do you find yourself taking care of others, sometimes at your own expense? Have you noticed a not-so-secret desire for perfectionism lurking behind some of your choices? Would others, and yourself, describe you as “ultra-independent”? Do you often struggle with saying “no” and with stopping the worrying and planning? Have you noticed often feeling tired, irritable, burned out, and possibly resentful toward most people around (even if it’s hard to acknowledge it)? How about frequent headaches, stomach issues, and body aches? If any of this sounds familiar, I encourage you to read on and consider reaching out
I utilize an integrative approach, relying on authenticity, compassion, and curiosity to create a space where growth occurs. My goal is to support my clients as they work toward increased understanding into themselves, accountability for their role in situations, strengthening their voice and ultimately reducing stress. I offer concrete tools and resources, while acknowledging the impact of early life experiences on shaping us
Therapy can be a challenging yet life-changing process and not every therapist-client pair is the right fit for every part of the journey. If my approach resonates with you, I encourage you to reach out. Taking that first step is often the hardest!
