At Golden Mindset, I offer compassionate, holistic, and evidence-based therapy as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York.

I support individuals in overcoming emotional challenges, navigating life transitions, and reconnecting with a sense of purpose and well-being. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, complex trauma, stress, procrastination, or relationship difficulties, I provide a safe, supportive space to explore what’s holding you back and work collaboratively toward lasting, meaningful change.

I specialize in working with young adults and adults who feel stuck in patterns such as overthinking, people-pleasing, procrastination, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm—often shaped by unresolved family dynamics, performance pressure, or uncertainty about the future. Many of my clients struggle with time management, social media overuse, insomnia, or the weight of unprocessed relational wounds. Despite appearing high-functioning, they often feel disconnected, exhausted, or deeply lonely.

Together, we focus on building emotional resilience, developing practical tools to manage stress and emotion, and strengthening self-trust. My goal is to help you make measurable progress and create a life that feels more aligned, grounded, and meaningful.

My goal is to help you reconnect with your true self, overcome inner obstacles, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Evidence-Based and Integrative Techniques
I use a range of proven therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, mindfulness-based Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, strength-based approaches, spiritual integration, somatic therapy, and trauma-informed care.

I was initially skeptical about virtual therapy, but my experience with Alena completely changed my perspective. She is warm, compassionate, and knowledgeable. She created a safe space where I felt comfortable opening up and sharing emotional memories. I learned effective communication skills that have improved my marriage. I highly recommend Alena if you’re looking for someone who’s both professional and empathetic!
