My Framework
DREW ULLMAN, MHC-LP
"Let me help you break free from what's holding you back. Together, we can embark on this journey."
Drew Ullman has a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from New York University’s Steinhardt Graduate School. Her goal is to create a safe space for individuals, couples and families to work their journey of self-exploration. It is important for the client to feel that the therapy room is a judgment-free zone where they can feel comfortable being vulnerable and at the center of the conversation. Her areas of interest include working with teenagers and young adults who are experiencing difficulties related to anxiety, depression, OCD, life transitions, and healing from trauma.
My Framework
QUIN AXELSON, MHC RESIDENT AT NYU
"Life is both beautiful and challenging. But you do not have to go through it alone. May this be the first step in becoming your most empowered self"
Quin Axelson is a warm and intuitive Master’s level counseling student at New York University’s Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness program. She believes that each individual has their own unique story, challenges, and needs, and that therapy can help bridge the gap between one’s current and ideal life. Her goal is to provide you with tangible skills to navigate life’s uncertainties with confidence, ensuring that you leave therapy feeling better than when you walked in. She specializes in working with teenagers and young adults, addressing a spectrum of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, identity crises, OCD, trauma, and life transitions.
My Framework
Quin utilizes an integrative approach guided by various evidence-based techniques including cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and relational therapy. Do not worry if these terms are unfamiliar; she recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all model, and thus, centers her work around the unique needs of each individual.
Reaching out for help can be intimidating, but Quin is here to offer a safe space where you’ll feel understood and supported – but also challenged when appropriate. Together, you will work to overcome obstacles, deepen your understanding of yourself and those around you, and commit to living a more fulfilling life. She is so glad you are here.
BETH FRIEDMAN, MHC-LP
“Happiness is your human right, and I make it my duty to help you find it.”
Beth Friedman graduated with a major in Psychology and Psychoanalysis from Tel Aviv University and has a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from Yeshiva’s Ferkauf Graduate School. She completed various pieces of training that taught her how to become a trauma-informed counselor and work with individuals with a history of trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, bipolar 1, schizophrenia, and other mood disorders. Her goal is to help overcome the stigmatization of marginalized groups suffering from mental illness by gaining autonomy over their lives and mental health. Interning at the East Village Access PROS program exposed Beth to this population; however, mental illness does not discriminate and can impact everyone. It is her goal to be able to work with any client, regardless of skin color, socioeconomic status, and/or religion.
