Cindy Cabrera Clinic Assistant

Cindy Cabrera, Clinic Assistant

My name is Cindy and I am the Clinic Assistant. One of the values I hold true to my heart is family. When you call to inquire about services or walk through the doors for your first appointment my goal is to help you feel the comfort and warmness just as you would feel from a family member. I do my best to support families who are not quite rehearsed with the ins and outs of therapy, and no question is too small or large. If I am unable to answer any question, I will find someone who will be able to! By doing so, my hope is that any nervousness that you might feel about therapy will be eased for a better experience in session. I look forward to seeing you all as you walk through our doors!

Hello, my name is Yissel Rodriguez and I am a bilingual Mental Health Counselor at Growth Wellness Services! I wholeheartedly believe that clients have within themselves all of the character traits they need to lead healthy and well rounded lives. Using a strengths based approach, I work with clients to assure they identify, work towards, and reach their therapeutic goals.

I am a graduate of Manhattan College and have experience working with varying client populations from children to teens and adults. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is very important to making progress and that is why I aim to be an approachable and empathetic therapist. As a team we will work through past traumas/patterns of behavior and foster new and healthy coping skills. I am excited to be a part of this journey with you!

In his book The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho writes, “and, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” Let’s work together towards achieving that which you desire.

Creo de todo corazón que los clientes tienen dentro de sí mismos todos los rasgos de personaje que necesitan para llevar una vida sana y completa. Usando un enfoque basado en fortalezas, trabajo con clientes para asegurar que identifiquen, trabajen y alcancen sus objetivos terapéuticos.

Me gradué de Manhattan College y tengo experiencia trabajando con diferentes poblaciones de clientes, desde niños hasta adolescentes y adultos. Creo que la relación entre el cliente y el terapeuta es muy importante para progresar y es por eso que mi objetivo es ser una terapeuta accesible y empática. Como equipo, trabajaremos a través de traumas/patrones de comportamiento pasados y fomentaremos habilidades de afrontamiento nuevas y saludables. ¡Estoy emocionada de ser parte de este viaje contigo!

En su libro El Alquimista, Paulo Coelho escribe, “y, cuando quieres algo, todo el universo conspira para ayudarte a lograrlo”. Trabajemos juntos para lograr lo que deseas.

Shaylyn Maloney, Psychotherapist

My name is Shaylyn Maloney, and I am a Mental Health Counselor. I believe in a well-rounded, person-centered approach to mental health.

It is my priority to provide a warm environment in which you can explore your thoughts, recognize your strengths, and build upon them to meet your personal goals.

I find the therapeutic relationship to be the most valuable aspect of the counseling experience. I aim to engage each client where they are to foster growth, process difficult emotions, and face challenges as they arise.

I believe in the importance of cultivating creativity and joy, which is why you can find me learning how to longboard and playing guitar in my personal time.

I am passionate about how chronic illness and mental health intertwine, and the impact it has on individuals and their families, stemming from my journey as a type 1 diabetic.

I look forward to seeing you at Growth Wellness Services!

Ericka Walker, Social Worker, Psychotherapist

Ericka Walker, Psychotherapist

Hello!! My name is Ericka and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker. I am originally from Florida and I have been living in NYC for 11 years. I enjoy mindfulness beyond meditation, spirituality, and using a holistic approach.

Therapy is a process that requires a person to be open, honest and willing to accept change. It is not going to be easy, but you will have someone to guide you through the process. We can explore ways to improve overall wellness, self awareness, identifying and utilizing strengths, and behavioral challenges. My clinical experience includes working with adolescents and families.

I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to address client needs which include motivational interviewing, cognitive behavior therapy, partialization, coaching and using strengths-based language.

Ashley Alahakoon, Psychotherapist

Hello! My name is Ashley, you can call me Ash. I am a Mental Health Counselor, who is a graduate of Pace University. I have worked with a wide variety of clients including individuals as young as three years old up to the ages of adulthood who have significant trauma histories, families struggling with behavioral issues of young children/teens, individuals who are finding it difficult with gender/sexual identity, teens with social anxiety, and general stressors that come day to day.

Talk therapy can get quite redundant and dull over the course of treatment. My goal is to bring excitement and light-hearted aspects to therapy to keep it interesting, all while working on the difficult experiences and emotions that brings the client into the session. Connecting the mind and body is key to ultimate wellness, and I will be the light to guide you through that!
