Meet Carlos

When I was 19, I became overwhelmed with stress. Before I knew what was happening, I was failing my college classes. I dropped out of school and refused to seek help. At 20, a family friend encouraged me to see a doctor. That conversation saved my life.

As soon as I started treatment, I realized how unwell I had been. Two years later I was back in school, and today, I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner, helping young people get the help they deserve.

It started freshman year in college, soon after I moved and got settled in my dorm. I began to notice a decrease in the way I was able to function. I felt like it took me a lot longer to do things that usually came easy to me, particularly in my classwork. The mental health center was actually in the dorm where I was living, which was convenient. I don’t know if I would have been able to reach out for help if it were farther away. I was away at school, in a different town, and I didn’t know any local counselors, so I stuck with what was available within the university. Thankfully, I didn’t fall through the cracks.

As a licensed therapist, I’m here to check in, listen to your story, address any concerns you have, and help you decide what comes next. I’ve worked with New Yorkers of various ages, backgrounds, and circumstances. If you’d like, think of me as a free alternative to “Dr.” Google: Instead of freaking you out with loads of impersonal and general info, I’ll try to allay your fears and offer options for getting appropriate support near you. 

You can reach out anonymously if you’d like, but please do reach out.

Meet Danny

Before becoming a certified peer specialist, I faced my own mental health challenges, and thankfully got the support I needed. As a kid, my personality was always a bit introverted, so I couldn’t really tell anything different was going on with me until I was 24 and struggling under a lot of stress. Asking for help started my turnaround. It also helped that I come from a large family and everyone supported me, particularly my dad, who was always willing to listen without judgment.

As a peer mentor, I want to help others get through the tough parts, overcome the fears and stigmas, and build up their resilience so they can live the life they want.

Meet Drew

Sharing my story and putting words to what was going on in my head — letting that come out and be out in the open, that was the way that I knew that I was going to get better.

I want to say that there are people out there who care about you. No matter how much you feel like you’re alone in the process of experiencing whatever it is you’re experiencing, there are so many people out there who care about you as a human being — not just about your symptoms.
