Counseling


Navigating illness, loss, and life's uncertainties together

We are mental health providers with extensive experience working in healthcare, palliative care, and mental health settings. Illumine Counseling therapists focus on treating individuals, couples and families living with and beyond illness. 

Our specialties include adjusting to a new diagnosis; living with chronic or terminal illness; transitioning to life after treatment; coping with grief and loss; and navigating the significant life changes and challenges of young adulthood, career transitions and aging.


Founders

With more than 35 years of combined experience at leading institutions such as Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Calvary Hospital, Leukemia Lymphoma Society, and NewYork-Presbyterian, we’ve devoted our careers to supporting individuals and families through the challenges of illness, loss, and survivorship. As we worked with more people, we began to hear a consistent concern: finding clinicians outside of these settings who are knowledgeable about their experience proved difficult.

In response to this need, we founded Illumine Counseling, a practice dedicated to providing community-based support that accompanies individuals, couples, and families through some of life’s most difficult moments. With a dedication to continuous learning and a passion for the work, our team of experienced clinicians is committed to offering compassionate, high-quality care that provides the insight, support, and strategies needed to navigate illness, loss, and the uncertainties of life.
