SPECIALIZING IN WORKING WITH KIDS, ADULTS, COUPLES, MOMS AND FAMILIES

Overthinking, stress, or your thoughts just won’t take a break? You’re not alone—and therapy doesn’t have to be all serious faces and quiet rooms. I work with individuals, couples, and families to navigate anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions in a supportive, judgment-free space.

My approach is evidence-based and eclectic: I draw from CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic Theory to help you understand your patterns, build practical coping skills, and uncover what’s driving your thoughts and emotions. I also specialize in relationship, couples, and family therapy, helping people communicate better, set healthy boundaries, and strengthen connections. I am trained in treating Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD), offering compassionate, evidence-based support during pregnancy and the postpartum period. We’ll tackle challenges together, celebrate progress (big and small), and help you feel more in control, resilient, and confident in your life—while keeping the process engaging, approachable, and yes, sometimes even a little fun.

SPECIALIZING IN WORKING WITH KIDS, TEENS, COLLEGE STUDENTS, AND ADULTS

Hi, I'm Jenna, and I am so excited to meet you.

What makes this world so special to me is the beautiful people who live in it. Part of that beauty is the courage it takes to share your hopes, struggles, and story with someone who starts as a stranger. Beginning therapy takes a lot of courage, and I never take the trust you place in me for granted.

You are the expert of your own story. My role is to walk alongside you as we work through life's challenges, navigate the stuck points, and help you reconnect with the person you were always meant to be. My approach is warm, relational, and collaborative. I want you to feel seen, heard, and supported from the moment you walk into the room. Together, we'll build practical coping skills, explore the experiences and relationships that have shaped you, and create space for healing, growth, and meaningful change.

I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and adults, meeting each person where they are with compassion and curiosity. My work is rooted in a strengths-based, attachment-focused approach while drawing from psychodynamic theory to better understand how past experiences and relationships continue to shape the present. I also incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help clients build emotional regulation skills, increase self-awareness, and develop practical tools to navigate life's challenges. Above all, I believe you already have the resilience and capacity for growth within you. My hope is to help you recognize those strengths, build on them, and feel more connected to your authentic self.

It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.

SPECIALIZING IN WORKING WITH CHILDREN AND TEENS

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m a compassionate, empathic therapist who believes meaningful change begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. From a young age, I felt a deep pull toward supporting others through life’s most challenging moments—and that passion continues to shape the work I do today.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationship concerns, autism, and the emotional weight that comes with navigating daily life. Therapy with me is collaborative and supportive without judgment. I integrate cognitive-behavioral techniques to help you better understand your thoughts, regulate emotions, and build practical skills you can use outside of sessions. My approach balances insight with action, empowering you to develop resilience, confidence, and a stronger connection to yourself. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD), helping clients build coping skills and feel more grounded during pregnancy and postpartum.

What I find most meaningful is watching clients gain clarity, apply what they’ve learned in real life, and begin to feel more in control of their story. My goal is to support you in uncovering your strengths, healing at your own pace, and creating lasting, meaningful change. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

SPECIALIZING IN WORKING WITH KIDS, TEENS, COLLEGE STUDENTS, AND ADULTS

Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and it’s completely normal to be unsure of where to begin. If you’re here, you’ve already taken an important step toward caring for yourself.

I work with children, teens, and adults dealing with anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationship issues, autism, and everyday stress, as well as depression, career pressures, family conflicts, and the emotional impact of life changes. I also support clients processing trauma, including cultural and intergenerational experiences that influence identity, expectations, and family bonds. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and evidence-based, using CBT, DBT, ACT, and other methods, including mindfulness, narrative techniques, and family-centered strategies. For younger clients, I incorporate developmentally appropriate techniques to help children and teens express themselves, manage emotions, and develop coping skills. Together, we explore thoughts and feelings, strengthen coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting growth.

Therapy isn’t about changing who you are; it’s about discovering and strengthening the best parts of yourself. This will be a safe, respectful space where you can feel heard, supported, and comfortable exploring life’s challenges. You don’t have to face them alone, and we’ll work through them together.

Hi, I’m Savannah Kwan, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m currently completing my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at New York University. As a therapist intern, I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are.

When working with children and adolescents, I focus on building trust and connection first, while creating a space where they feel safe, heard, and understood. I believe therapy is not about having everything figured out, but about having support while working through life’s difficult moments.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming and vulnerable, and I feel truly honored to be part of someone’s healing and growth journey. Thank you for considering me as part of your support system.
