​"My experience was great with learning how to deal with my anxiety by using coping methods she taught me."  

-12 year old girl who engaged in short-term therapy to decrease anxiety  

"I was apprehensive about seeking out therapy. Imagining the task of summarizing my experiences to a stranger was daunting to say the least. I also didn't know how to do it. Lily immediately made me feel at ease and worked out a pace and structure that worked for me. Throughout our time she nurtured a safe and productive space for me that more allowed me to work through my own self-progress rather than taking charge on it herself. I'm so happy with my first therapy experience and the tools it has provided me for my future self care."

"When I walked into Lily's stress-reduction workshop...I wasn't sure what to expect. What I experienced during the hour in which Lily led our group through a wonderful guided meditation and a related therapeutic art activity was a feeling of wellbeing and support. Lily was able to help me leave behind the tension from my hectic day and ease me into a relaxed, more present state of mind. It was a perfect way to end my day."  –Group participant in late 30s ​​​addressing stress   

"I felt comfortable and safe. Was able to share more than I wanted to, but it served me well in the end." -57 year old adult addressing bereavement             

"Lily is a sensitive, creative, and compassionate therapist with an intuitive sense of her clients' needs and how to best serve them. During our work together on an inpatient psychiatry unit in NYC, I came to appreciate Lily's innate ability to connect deeply with people in crisis. Through innovative art therapy and movement groups, Lily helped mobilize stuck emotions and inspire hope in people for whom traditional verbal techniques had failed. Her work with patients was inspiring and transformative. Lily's empathy, natural attunement to people, and non-judgmental approach make her an effective therapist for people from all walks of life."

-Tanya Azarani, M.D., Psychiatry PLLC                                                           

"I hired Lily as a clinical supervisor to assist me in my private practice journey. Lily was extremely helpful in guiding me through clinical decisions to best provide for my clients. I felt I was able to be open and really explore my therapeutic work in a non judgmental space with her. Private practice work can feel daunting at times when it is just you making the decisions, so it was truly beneficial for me to have someone as competent and experienced as Lily helping me out. She not only guided me through the process, but assisted me in coming to my own clinical conclusions so I could deepen my therapeutic skills. I look forward to having Lily as a collaborator in the future.​"

-Laney Wallace, MPS, LCAT, ATR-BC

As my supervisor, Lily made sure to address all of my concerns and provided me with very helpful advice regarding clients. Lily was an example to follow when approaching parents, with sensitivity to their needs. Additionally, Lily demonstrated excellent leadership skills during weekly art therapy supervision where she encouraged active discussion among interns, making everyone feel incredibly supported." 

-Jaili J Rios, MA, LCAT-LP, Child And Family Therapist at Children's Aid

Lily also integrated herself well with the program staff and families. Her creativity and openness stood out in the clinical work she did."

-Ines Guariguatas LCSW, LCAT, ATR-BC, SEP

The opportunity she provided to our clients for art making in conjunction with talk therapy provided a wonderful supplement to ensure mental health needs were being met."
