Compassionate Counseling: A Safe, Supportive Space to Heal and Grow

In a stressful world with added daily pressure, emotional nuance, and special neurological complications, the appropriate therapist can be a game-changer. Compassionate Counseling NY is not only where clients locate a mental health practitioner, but a safe haven where they have a guide they can trust, a supportive partner, and a place where they feel fully understood and heard.

Jennifer Lerner, LMHC, created and runs Compassionate Counseling NY which offers online counseling for those in New York. Using the skills and knowledge acquired over more than 30 years, Jennifer supports people dealing with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (NVLD).

A Therapist Who Really Gets It: Jennifer’s Experience with NVLD

Her experience is what makes Jennifer different from others rather than her educational credentials. Since her childhood, Jennifer is used to what it’s like to struggle with social, spatial and processing difficulties, as she was diagnosed with NVLD. Rather than letting that stop her, she used it as strength.

Jennifer has spent many years studying ways, resources and skills that help both her and her clients. Being misunderstood due to her shyness inspired her to be empathetic with how others can react to being treated the same way. This enables her to meet clients where they are at, providing not only encouragement, but solid solutions that impact meaningfully.

Online Therapy with Heart: Accessible, Safe, and Empowering

All of Jennifer’s therapy sessions are conducted entirely online, with the flexibility, privacy, and convenience clients need. If you are a busy parent, have a job and lots to manage or simply prefer to be at home, virtual sessions are made to suit you.

Jennifer’s online therapy sessions are based on the ideals of empathy, understanding and a kind approach. She builds a partnership with clients where they can express their feelings, want to learn and feel really looked after by her. Therapy is not merely about fixing problems, it’s about becoming confident, finding strengths, and moving ahead with direction.
