Chantal Amoussou, LMHC, LPC — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Chantal!

I provided individual and group therapy for many years and have experience working alongside people to facilitate positive change in their lives and communities.

My focus

My current practice focuses on supporting adults and teens navigating grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, anticipatory loss, substance abuse, life transitions, and relationships.

My approach

Using various evidence-based techniques, I help you reconnect to existing strengths and cultivate additional resources that support progress toward the changes you wish to make. I have experience utilizing person-centered, CBT, and relational-cultural theories and frequently use mindfulness, body-centered, and creative interventions.

My communication style

My style of therapy is informal, compassionate, and responsive to each person's unique needs. I will guide you to explore your concerns and build a greater understanding of the different aspects of your experience, from the emotional, mental, and physical to the family, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I consider cultural humility essential to therapeutic practice. I want you to feel safe, seen, and heard; I understand and value the importance of the therapeutic relationship.

My goals for you

I help you reconnect to existing strengths and cultivate additional resources that support progress toward the changes you wish to make. Together we explore your concerns and build understanding across emotional, mental, physical, family, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions.

Our first session

In our first session, I want you to feel safe and heard. We'll explore what brings you to therapy and begin building a therapeutic relationship where you feel seen and valued. I'll learn about your unique needs and the changes you wish to make.
