August Holistic Therapy was created out of a necessity to address the needs of individuals meeting challenging circumstances. In particular, first responders who are not just statistics; they are the brave men and women brave who face unimaginable challenges every day. They are 5 times more likely than the general population to suffer from symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, leading to significantly higher suicide rates. 

I have been working for over 30 years in NYC community mental health agencies with clients that struggled with high rates of suicide attempts, unstable housing, drug abuse, and other harmful behaviors. As I tell my first responder and military clients, “I have been through the rings of fire, too”.

Treatment methods may include talk therapy, homework assignments, reading articles, or engaging in other activities based on the individual’s needs and challenges.

I use proven methods and tools that are customized to fit each client’s specific needs and goals. Treatment methods may include talk therapy, homework assignments, reading poetry, or engaging in horticulture (gardening) activities based on the individual’s preferences and progress.

I treat many types of clients outside of first responders and can treat a wide variety of symptoms from depression, stress, anxiety, life transitions, and more.  My patients come from all walks of life not only first responders with a wide array of challenges and symptoms from Depression, Anxiety to life many demands and much more.
