About

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist deeply embedded in the Bronx community, my practice is dedicated to providing culturally responsive, evidence-based mental health care to one of New York’s most resilient and diverse populations. With specialized training in trauma-informed therapies, mood disorders, and community psychology, I address complex psychological needs while actively confronting systemic barriers to wellness—from healthcare inequities to socioeconomic stressors. My work spans individual therapy, psychological assessment, and collaborative advocacy, all grounded in a commitment to empowering Bronx residents through accessible, dignified care. Whether supporting adolescents navigating identity challenges, adults healing from intergenerational trauma, or families rebuilding stability, I center resilience, cultural humility, and social justice in every intervention

  • Can alcohol addiction go away?

    As an expert counselor/therapist I can tell you that alcohol addiction is very tough to battle, and I congratulate you on reaching out for answers. It's essential to recognize that alcohol addiction is often a chronic condition that requires ongoing management.

While recovery from alcohol addiction may be challenging, many individuals are able to achieve and maintain sobriety with the right treatment, support, and resources. However, it's crucial to seek professional help and support if you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol addiction, as it can have serious consequences for physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life Dr. Inoa from Hood Meditation READ MORE
