Top therapists in Buffalo, NY accepting new patients
I'm Arnice (she/her), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Queens, NY, offering telehealth therapy across New York in both English and Spanish.
My work centers on the things that often go unspoken — the guilt of a gambling habit that's taken more than money, the way substance use can quietly reshape a family, the arguments that start small and somehow never get resolved. I work with adults and teenagers (13+) facing these and other challenges, including anxiety, depression, anger, and the complicated feelings that come with relationship and family stress.
I trained at NYU and Adelphi University and have spent my career working with individuals, couples, and families — especially those navigating addiction, behavioral health concerns, and the everyday tensions that build up in close relationships. I use approaches like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Gottman Method, and somatic techniques, always adapted to what actually fits the person in front of me.
Being bilingual isn't just practical — it means I can meet you in the language where your feelings live. I take Aetna, Anthem/Empire, Carelon, and Cigna.

Welcome! I am a millennial therapist originally hailing from NYC and completed my education with Fordham University. I have over 10 years of experience working in areas like family therapy, immigration, child welfare, substance use, and crisis intervention. Whether you have been previously diagnosed with a mental health condition you are living with, or looking for a safe space to be supported and heard (or both) I am excited to serve on your healing journey.
Hi! I am a board certified DNP-PMHNP-BC. I started my career in traditional health practices as a Fulbright Scholar in Sochi, Russia. I presented my research at the US Embassy in Moscow. Following the completion of my grant I attended New York University (NYU). From there I completed a residency at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas. Following this I entered and completed my doctorate at USD University of San Diego, California with a focus on digital telehealth treatment for psychiatric care. I have a passion for working with the veteran population and those seeking care outside the box. I recently completed my facilitation for psychadelic assisted therapy and have an additional practice in Denver, Colorado. I enjoy yoga, swimming and all the water sports!

As a warm, open-minded, and empowering therapist, I am dedicated to helping adults and families navigate life's most complex challenges. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling and bring a robust professional background working across diverse clinical settings, specializing in treating anxiety, sleep disorders, identity exploration, relationships, and bipolar disorders. In my practice, I frequently serve populations navigating cultural or ethnic issues, men’s issues, and individuals healing from trauma or substance abuse. On a personal note, my commitment to mental health stems from my own lived experiences navigating difficult life transitions, which gives me a genuine, human understanding of how intimidating it can be to take this first step toward healing.
