You're the one others turn to: the intuitive, deeply feeling woman who senses everything. Yet inside, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or pulled out of alignment, stuck in patterns you can’t think your way out of. You want to feel grounded, clear, and able to trust yourself again. I help intuitive women regulate their nervous systems and reconnect to their inner knowing. I also specialize in pet loss, honoring your beloved pet as the cherished member of the family that they are. I support you in processing your grief, staying connected to your bond, and finding meaning as you heal.
My path to becoming a therapist is rooted in lived experience. Claiming joy and authenticity—as a sober, trans, kinky, non-monogamous, bisexual person—has taken time, intention, and community. I’ve moved through fear, people-pleasing, relapse, and grief, and found healing in therapy and holistic recovery spaces that reminded me who I was when I couldn’t see it myself.
I believe we’re all doing our best with the tools we have, and that therapy can offer space to build new ones—tools for feeling more, hiding less, and showing up in ways that feel true. My style is collaborative, steady, and grounded in care that doesn’t shy away from depth.
I earned my MSW from Columbia University in 2015 and began my career in home-based family therapy at NY Foundling. I later supported LGBTQIA+ youth at the LGBT Center and joined Dulcinea Pitagora’s group practice before founding my own. I continue to offer clinical supervision to social work interns at the LGBT Center.
After 11 years in NYC, I moved to the Hudson Valley to live among trees, rescue dogs, and small-town queer community. Outside of session, I’m often on a trail, on my yoga mat, or watching the birds from my porch.
I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy.
My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.
I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.
Hi, I’m Stephane Carvalho, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts. Originally trained as a psychologist in Brazil, I now work with individuals, couples, and families to help them build stronger, more connected relationships.
Whether you’re navigating conflict, communication challenges, anxiety, or the desire to reconnect with yourself, therapy can be a space to understand your emotional patterns and create change that lasts.
As an immigrant therapist, I deeply understand what it means to navigate life between cultures — finding belonging while holding on to your roots. That perspective shapes the way I support clients from diverse backgrounds, always honoring their stories, identities, and values.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in the mental health field, providing individual therapy and case management support. My style as a therapist is relaxed, easygoing, and approachable, creating a space where clients feel comfortable opening up. I have a strong preference for working with adolescents and teenagers, though I also enjoy supporting adults in their therapeutic journey. Fully bilingual in English and Spanish, I bring cultural sensitivity and inclusivity to my practice. My professional background includes roles as Clinical Therapist, Lead Intake Specialist, and Clinical Supervisor, along with internship experiences at Children’s Home Society and ARC of South Florida, where I gained valuable skills in case management, child safety planning, and community resource support.

It can be very difficult to trust someone especially a stranger and telling your story multiple times. Asking for help is not always easy and scheduling can be challenging. Currently I see adult clients remotely and some children outdoors in Prospect Park.


Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
