License issued by the State of New York

To provide therapy, your therapist needs a license issued by the State of New York, and you need to be in New York during the session. That license authorizes them to provide therapy, not just support, and requires them to follow the state's professional and ethical standards. You can check any therapist's license through the New York State Education Department Office of the Professions license verification.

We serve all of New York State

We don't have offices: your sessions are by phone, so you can talk to your therapist from anywhere in New York State.

New York City

In the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan or Staten Island, between the subway, work and family, the day flies by. A Spanish-speaking therapist in NYC doesn't have to be an hour away: at dafne your session is a phone call, and you can have it from home or from a quiet spot near work.

Long Island

On Long Island, many people start work before dawn and end the day so tired that driving to an appointment is the last thing they want. With phone therapy you choose a time that works for you and talk to your therapist from home, in Spanish, without going anywhere.

Westchester and the Hudson Valley

Outside the city, towns are far apart and finding a Spanish-speaking therapist nearby can be hard. Because your sessions are by phone, distance stops mattering: you have a therapist licensed in New York whether you're in Westchester, Newburgh or anywhere in the valley.

We also serve people in Yonkers, Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, Newburgh and the rest of the state.
