Midtown and Lower Manhattan Welcome! My goal as a therapist is to provide a mixture of optimism, honesty, humor, and direct practicality. I have a genuine interest in each person seeking treatment and think of the therapeutic relationship as a unique collaborative partnership.

Midtown Manhattan My role as your therapist will be to create an environment where you are comfortable to talk about any problems you are facing such as life transitions, relationships or difficult emotions. I like to help people change, recognize more helpful ways of thinking and approaching problems to achieve better outcomes. My goal is to work alongside you to reach your personal goals, including reaching your full potential and feeling more satisfied in your life. My specialty is working with trauma survivors including those who have experienced sexual assault and rape. Additionally, working in previous clinical settings has exposed me to work with clients that have depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders, anger and behavioral issues. I have continuous training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and favor this model as I find it most effective for rapid and effective treatment. This model provides us with evidence that a positive shift in our thinking and behavior can reduce those painful emotions almost immediately. Many cultures may believe seeking help from a therapist is “taboo”. I understand that because I am a woman from the South Asian community. Whatever cultural background, identity, gender, religion, social class, and/or age you are, I genuinely want to hear what is bothering you. I also have experience in conducting sessions in conversational Bengali. I look forward to connecting with you soon. Maria Cristina Latorre MA, MSW, LMSW
