Meet Seanessa

Mental Health Counseling Intern Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, and Family Challenges

If you’ve been feeling down, overwhelmed or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, know that you are not alone. My goal is to create a space for you to slow down, breathe, and begin your healing at a pace that feels right for you. Based in Brooklyn, Midtown, and available for virtual sessions, I want to make sure that my care is accessible.

I am an intern therapist under the direct supervision of Dr. Fanny Ng, a licensed clinical psychologist and founder at Rise Psychology NYC. I aim to create a collaborative, affirming, and compassionate environment where you can begin your path to healing. My approach is largely person-centered and identity-affirming, particularly for those who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and those with an immigration background.

My Approach to Therapy

I use an integrative framework, pulling from Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and humanistic approaches. My Afro-Caribbean identity deeply shapes how I show up as a therapist; it fuels my commitment to breaking the silence around mental health in communities of color and creating spaces where people feel seen and valued for who they are. I aim to meet you exactly where you are, with compassion, curiosity, and respect for your lived experience.
