Our therapists have very similar backgrounds and expertise, as we all specialize in working with the same age groups and presenting concerns. This allows us to work closely as a team to create the best possible care for our clients. We are always bouncing ideas off one another, creating and running groups together and growing as clinicians. Although we have similar expertise, we each take slightly different approaches. We do our best to match each client with a therapist that will be the right fit!

Samantha McGuire received her Master’s degree in Social Work from Adelphi University. Samantha has experience working with individuals across age groups, but specializes in working with children, adolescents and young adults. She takes the time to get to know each individual she is working with and identifying their specific needs for treatment. She typically works with clients managing anxiety, depression, trauma, social issues, relationship concerns, and child/adolescent behavioral concerns (i.e., ADHD). Samantha’s favorite things to do while not seeing clients are practice meditation and yoga, ride her bike, play with her dog or enjoy a fresh cup of coffee! Samantha brings herself into the therapy room, making it sure to be a fun and supportive environment.
Hello everyone! My name is Victoria Omolayo (she/her) and I am a Licensed Masters Social Worker and Certified Mental Health First Aider. I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety and depression. In therapy, I often work with clients on healing attachment styles and improving self-image and self-confidence. I also specialize in working with couples, adults and adolescents. While in sessions, I believe it is important to always have fun, because life outside of therapy and can be so stressful and serious. Laughing moments are healing moments. I place emphasis on collaboration to set goals and track progress and will assign homework. We will work together to find the strategies that help you best. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon!
