Nori Yagami, MHC-LP

Pre-Licensed Professional
In-Person & Online
New York, NY

Mr. Yagami, MSEd., MHC-LP, is a Mental Health Counselor with a Master of Science in Education in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University. After Fordham, he conducted research in developmental/neurodevelopmental psychology at the University of Oregon, examining how early-life experiences shape and condition the way we experience the world. Mr. Yagami has experience as an outpatient mental health provider, providing psychotherapy to adults and adolescents. Mr. Yagami believes that our current challenges, whether it be anxiety, depression, or relational difficulties, are very often rooted in our childhood. Understanding the origins of how we think, feel, and behave is a vital step toward freeing ourselves from conditioned patterns and reconnecting with a more authentic sense of self. Mr. Yagami utilizes trauma-informed CBT, attachment, and acceptance-and-change frameworks. He works with diverse populations who are interested in exploring the core of their challenges and creating lasting change. To facilitate this, the quality of the client-and-therapist alliance becomes key, because in this alliance, a more secure sense of self is cultivated, which is the foundation for confidence and self-compassion. He considers himself not only a therapist, but also a cheerleader, advocate, and confidant. His therapy space is where clients are met with unconditional positive regard, compassion, and the freedom to be their authentic selves, and develop trust in their capabilities to navigate the world as best they can.

For the past 10 years, I have helped with individuals with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive behaviors, life stress, and life transitions. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach to therapy. I believe change comes from gaining insight into your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. When it comes to therapy, I believe the relationship between the therapist and the client is crucial. I strive at creating a safe and open environment for you to express your thoughts and feelings. My goal for therapy is to assist you with solving any problems or issues you may be experiencing and help to give you the tools, knowledge, and insight to make changes. I believe that everyone has a story to be told and that there is no greater suffering than an untold story inside of you.

Yonkers, NY

Kelly Solis is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York. She has more than 10 years of experience working in the social service and behavioral health field. Throughout her career, Kelly has worked with various populations in a number of different settings. Currently, Kelly provides individual psychotherapy to adults who are struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety and panic, grief, or stress. Many of Kelly's clients experience feelings of sadness and low mood, sleep difficulties, low energy, trouble with concentration; as well as, feelings of anxiousness and worry, difficulty relaxing, and feelings of restlessness. She also provides support to those experiencing difficulty coping with life transitions, loss, relationship issues/conflict, work stress, and trauma. Kelly’s approach to therapy is client centered and strengths based. Kelly helps clients identify how certain patterns of behavior or unresolved traumas can impact their functioning in the present. Using CBT concepts, she educates clients on how one's thoughts can influence their feelings and behaviors. For those experiencing stress, Kelly works with her client to identify what is contributing to their distress and explore ways to improve coping, so that those stressors become more manageable. Kelly takes pride in meeting clients where they are and fosters a space where clients feel heard, safe, and where judgement does not exist. During the intake, Kelly will utilize that visit to gather information to understand the client's history and set goals together. She may assign homework which can help clients become more insightful as they move through the therapeutic process. Clients often leave sessions feeling relieved, understood, and overtime notice a reduction in symptoms. Whether it's your first time pursuing therapy or you're familiar with the process, it's important to choose someone who is a good fit and that meets your needs. Everyone deserves to have a space where they can be their authentic selves, express their feelings, receive unbiased feedback, and where they feel supported. I understand personally how challenging it can be dealing with stress, depression, anxiety and other life issues, which helps me relate with clients on a deeper level. There's a life saying that I love which is "Grow through what you go through." If you are in need of support or looking to foster change and growth, please feel free to contact me for a free phone consultation.
