Ann Marie Crescent, LCSW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Ann Marie!

I am an empathetic therapist dedicated to helping individuals find balance through a holistic, mind-body approach. With over seven years of experience in solution-focused counseling and crisis support, I specialize in helping people navigate everything from daily stress to major life hurdles.

My focus

My ideal clients are individuals who want to understand themselves better. I work with clients to help them identify their needs and strengths. I empower my clients to develop an action plan to use their strengths to support them in meeting their unmet needs.

My approach

I believe true healing happens when we honor the deep connection between our mind and body. I focus on creating a safe, holistic space where you feel truly seen. To support your journey, I blend practical tools like CBT and DBT skills with an understanding of how your nervous system and early experiences shape your well-being.

My communication style

My tone is supportive, empathic, and judgment-free. I find that I can validate a client's experience while challenging false beliefs.

My journey to mental healthcare

Helping others is a passion of mine, and building healthy communities is a core value. I truly believe that communities are only as strong and as healthy as their most vulnerable members. Therefore, I provide therapy to support building strong, healthy, and happy communities.

My goals for you

I support clients in identifying and prioritizing their goals using a systems approach. I then help clients create a clear path to achieving their goals.

Our first session

In our first session together, you can expect a warm, non-judgmental environment where your comfort and safety are the top priorities. We will start by exploring what has led you to seek therapy at this time and discuss the specific goals you’d like to achieve. We’ll also spend some time gathering important background information.
