Our Approach

At YCDI, we recognize that self-care can sometimes feel like a luxury rather than a necessity. Our approach is flexible and tailored to your current emotional needs, lifestyle, and goals. Our practice is led by Berenice Rosales-Nadel, LMHC-D, alongside a team of licensed clinicians committed to thoughtful, individualized care.

We offer a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities designed to support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and other emotional challenges.

For those seeking deeper clarity or diagnostic insight, we also provide specialized services such as autism testing and evaluations, ADHD evaluations, and bariatric psychological evaluations as part of a comprehensive approach to care.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support you in your process of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.

Living in New York City can bring unique pressures — from demanding careers to fast-paced lifestyles — which can contribute to stress, disconnection, and emotional fatigue. Our therapists are committed to meeting you where you are, offering thoughtful, individualized support that reflects your specific experiences and goals.

We strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions openly while building practical tools for long-term well-being.

Our Practice

We are dedicated to providing a supportive and inclusive environment where emotional health and wellness are prioritized.

Our team works with individuals navigating a wide range of experiences, including:

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Depression and low mood
  • Life transitions
  • Relationship challenges

In addition to ongoing therapy, some clients come to us for structured evaluations, including autism evaluations, ADHD evaluations, or bariatric surgery psychological evaluations, which may be part of a broader care journey.

Others seek therapy to better understand themselves, strengthen resilience, and improve their overall quality of life.

Our Clinical Team

YCDI is supported by a team of licensed mental health professionals providing individual therapy, couples therapy, and evaluation support services. Our clinicians hold licensure from the State of New York and bring specialized training across evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed approaches.

Jessica Ovalle, LMHC, and Stephanie Grant-Prestia, LMHC serve as Clinical Supervisors, supporting the professional development of our pre-licensed clinicians alongside their direct client work.

Our team continues to grow, with clinicians who bring a range of specialties and approaches to every client we serve. Meet our clinical team.

A Thoughtful, Client-Centered Experience

At YCDI, we believe that healing is not linear. Some clients come seeking immediate support during difficult moments, while others are focused on long-term personal growth.

We encourage each person to:

• Develop greater self-awareness
• Build emotional resilience
• Strengthen coping strategies
• Stay connected to themselves and others

Our role is to support you in a way that feels collaborative, respectful, and aligned with your individual path.
