Biography: Hello! My name is Lenny, and it is my thought that nobody gets anywhere alone; so I am happy you are here. I have been working in the mental health field for about four years in community-based and group-focused services. I also have my own personal experiences as a consumer of the mental health industry. What this means is that I will not look at you as a diagnosis, or a cluster of symptoms, but as a human being. A central foundation of mine lies with self-determination; I believe each person knows what is best for him or herself, even in the hardest of times when we feel lost. I have worked with a diversity of people, and they probably taught me more than I taught them so I try to start at a place of openness, because I want you to be able to bring your whole self into the counseling session. I am a white, gay man which means there are a lot of things I have not experienced, however, I hope we can work to create a space comfortable enough to talk about experiences that you want to open up about. Our goals, values and tools stem from the communities we are involved in, whether they be spiritual, race, sexuality, gender, disability, and so on. None of us have all the answers, but I am willing to learn with you so that we can use everything at our disposal. I use a variety of approaches in my counseling including: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, to name a few (one thing I have learned is that people really like to abbreviate stuff). On top of these approaches, I work to incorporate humor and a multicultural focus into my work. Whatever work we do together, will be a partnership and it will be an honor to get to know you.

Biography: My Expertise is Communication and Mental Health As a clinician, my passion lies in helping individuals become more effective communicators. Growing up in a Puerto Rican household where raised voices were commonplace and active listening was scarce, I felt compelled to seek better ways of connecting with others. Through my work, I've discovered that teaching people to understand their communication patterns can significantly improve family dynamics and intimate relationships. I firmly believe in psychoeducation as a powerful tool for demystifying mental health diagnoses and combating associated stigma. Since 2016, I've been providing individual, family, and group services, addressing conditions such as Bipolar disorder, Depression, ADHD, Anxiety, Borderline Personality disorder, and adjustment disorders. My clients often face co-occurring challenges related to mental health and substance abuse. Over the years, I've worked across diverse environments, including PROS programs, residential facilities, and outpatient settings. I've assisted individuals in creating personalized treatment plans, focusing on their unique goals, and supporting them in securing and maintaining employment. My educational journey includes a Bachelor's degree from Lehman College in the Bronx and a Master's degree from the College of New Rochelle. Currently, I practice in an outpatient clinic in the Bronx, dedicated to promoting mental well-being and fostering effective communication.

Care Philosophy: Talkspace partners with care providers who find satisfaction in providing therapy in a way that prioritizes the client's convenience and preferences. Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*

Care Philosophy: Talkspace partners with care providers who find satisfaction in providing therapy in a way that prioritizes the client's convenience and preferences. Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*
