Menucha Banayan, LMHC
I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and am licensed in New York. With experience in schools, clinics, and private practice, as well as additional training in conducting assessments, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Internal Family System, Trauma, and Child-Play Therapy I bring a wealth of expertise and knowledge to my practice.
Utilizing the good-old psychodynamic approach, I help my clients explore their life patterns and reasons behind the challenges that are causing them to feel stuck. I also use a mix of Internal Family Systems for inner child work and to explore parts that are hurt and protective. However, we don’t solely focus and stay stuck in the past, so I utilize DBT and CBT as a form of skill-building and empowerment to live an authentic life and cultivate inner peace and joy.
