If you need a therapist who’s going to be honest, hold you accountable, and cheer you on every step of the way—Ms. Dopwell, LMSW is your person. With an Afro-Caribbean background and over 15 years of experience in child welfare, medical social work, and community-based advocacy, she brings both clinical expertise and deep cultural understanding to every session. She specializes in helping women work through self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and the hard choices that come with growth. Her style? Straightforward, affirming, and rooted in helping you see your worth, trust your voice, and shift your perspective. She holds a Master’s in Social Work from NYU and teaches as an Adjunct Lecturer at Medgar Evers College. Beyond the therapy room, she bridges social work and fashion through her motivational T-shirt line, Designs by Tee, where she shares messages of faith, resilience, and emotional wellness. Whether she’s working with disconnected youth, families, or empowering women, Ms. Dopwell, LMSW shows up with heart and intention. Clients love her relatability and “vibe” and leave feeling both challenged and seen.
Rosaly Carrasquillo, LMSW is especially passionate about working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety and depression, helping them feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow. With a strong background in child welfare, she connects quickly with children, teens, and adults—creating a structured, supportive space to process trauma, stress, and emotional overwhelm.
A bilingual clinician and graduate of Fordham University, Rosaly brings warmth, and deep integrity to her work. She believes therapy can be a life-changing process when clients feel seen, heard, and open to the idea that change is possible. Her sessions are grounded in normalizing experiences and building trust, while also helping clients take practical steps toward their goals. Rosaly is committed to showing up with care and excellence. She’s not just here to listen—she’s here to help you move forward. Clients value her calm, structured presence and her genuine desire to support healing and change.

Her therapeutic work blends evidence-based modalities like CBT and grounding techniques with intuitive, strengths-based support to meet clients exactly where they are.
Deborah’s mission is to create a space where people of all ages and backgrounds feel seen, supported, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges while discovering their own capacity for healing, strength, and mental wellness.
Latarsha Thomas, LMSW, holds a Master’s degree in Social Work from Adelphi University, where she became deeply aware of the emotional challenges many young people of color face—often without access to the tools and support they need to cope, problem-solve, or navigate life effectively. Her early clinical work focused on clients who appeared strong on the outside, but were silently struggling with stress, life transitions, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship issues.
With experience supporting both individuals and couples, Latarsha is a skilled and compassionate therapist who brings a strengths-based, personalized approach to every session. She integrates a variety of treatment modalities to meet her clients where they are, helping them gain clarity, develop emotional insight, and build resilience.
Latarsha sees her role as a collaborative partner in the healing process—someone who provides structure, insight, and space for growth while empowering clients to move through life with more confidence and emotional stability.
Beata Pezacka, MHC-LP, believes healing is an ongoing journey—one that requires courage, self-compassion, and the right support. Her clients often come to her feeling stuck in cycles of overthinking, struggling with self-worth, or seeking deeper connection in their relationships. Beata uses a holistic, trauma-informed approach that integrates psychodynamic theory, attachment work, CBT, DBT, and schema therapy to help clients move forward with clarity and intention. Her style is person-centered, warm, and grounded in creating a space where growth and meaningful change can happen—whether in-person or virtual.
Beata offers a warm environment and is excited to connect with you.
I’m Amanda Fludd, LCSW-R, founder of Kenshō Psychotherapy Services—one of the few minority-owned practices in the area offering culturally responsive, real-talk therapy for kids, teens, and adults. I’m a trauma-trained Afro-Caribbean therapist with 17+ years of experience, and I genuinely love this work. I love helping people untangle the overwhelm, shift old patterns, and finally feel like themselves again.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, grief, relationship issues, or generational trauma, my team and I are here to support you with practical, compassionate care that honors who you are. We’re seasoned clinicians—not interns—who don’t believe in cookie-cutter therapy. Just straight-up support, intentional strategy, and space to be fully seen.
We offer both in-person sessions in Lynbrook and virtual therapy across New York. If you're looking for therapy that’s warm, grounded, and knows how to go deep—we’ve got you.
