Evidence-based care that honors both your internal experience and the real-world conditions shaping your life.
EMDR therapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy are available when clinically appropriate.
Show Me How This WorksThis is trauma-informed therapy grounded in a real-world context. We take your nervous system seriously, and we also take your life seriously. That includes workplace stress, identity-based strain, family dynamics, and the practical reality of what you are carrying.
The goal is steadiness within your body and greater choice in your real life, not just insight.
Therapy is collaborative. We build a pace and plan you can actually sustain.
We start with a free 20-minute consultation to determine fit. If we move forward, the first full session clarifies what you are navigating, what matters most right now, and what you want to change.
Intake stays focused and practical. We cover history when it is relevant, and we prioritize what will help you now.
Most clients meet weekly or biweekly for 50-minute sessions by secure video. Some clients also have limited in-person availability in NYC.
Sessions are tailored to you. Some focus on trauma processing. Some build regulation and coping skills. Some focus on patterns, boundaries, and decision-making. We adjust as your life changes and your capacity returns.
Many clients work with us for 6 to 12 months, though some choose shorter-term support and others stay longer.
Progress is not linear. Over time, you should notice you recover faster and respond differently to what used to derail you.
Therapy is helpful when life feels more manageable, not perfect.
Between sessions, homework is optional. If you want tools, we use them. If not, we keep the work in session.
Change is not about becoming a different person. It is about having more capacity to navigate what life throws at you, and responding in ways that align with who you actually are.
These are not promises. They are common patterns when the work is a strong fit.
Care at PAAPOY draws from evidence-based modalities tailored to what you need.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
We use EMDR to help your brain process stuck memories so they no longer replay with the same intensity.
Helpful for PTSD, single-incident trauma, and distressing experiences that still feel present.

Somatic therapy works with how stress and trauma show up in the body.
We build capacity for regulation, steadiness, and safer embodiment over time.
Therapy with ketamine support, when appropriate
We provide psychotherapy during a ketamine-supported session when clinically appropriate.
Your prescriber manages medication. We provide preparation, therapy support, and integration. We do not prescribe or administer ketamine.

You do not have to perform in therapy. We build trust, move at a pace your body can handle, and make room for what is hard to say out loud.
Together, we work on patterns, boundaries, and steadier ways to carry your life.
The approach is always in service of the goal: more steadiness, more clarity, and less time stuck in survival mode.
