Online Therapy Across New York
Insurance Accepted
Thoughtful Matching
Peace Love Wellness offers online therapy across New York for adults and couples seeking warm, discerning, identity-affirming care. Most clients use insurance, and we help make matching and getting started feel clearer from the beginning.
Therapy can feel different when the fit feels right.
At Peace Love Wellness, care is grounded in relationship, emotional depth, and the belief that you should not have to leave parts of yourself outside the therapy room. We support adults, couples, and relationships across New York who are looking for therapy that feels human, steady, and real.
Each therapist brings their own way of understanding people, their own lived experience, and their own clinical style. Matching is part of the care. We take time to consider who may feel like the right fit for you clinically, personally, and practically.
You don't need to know exactly what to call what you are feeling. We can begin with what is here.
Many people come to therapy because something in their life keeps repeating.
You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in patterns you understand intellectually but still cannot seem to shift. You may carry family expectations, cultural pressure, relationship cycles, grief, self-criticism, or the quiet exhaustion of holding everything together.
Therapy at Peace Love Wellness is not about forcing quick solutions. It is a space to slow down, notice what has been carried, and begin to feel more at home in yourself and your relationships.
We offer therapy that is warm, relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that real change needs room for the whole story.
Insight matters. But therapy is not only about understanding yourself in your mind.
It is also about what becomes possible in your body and your relationships. The breath you can finally take. The moment you notice yourself softening. The new choice that appears where there used to be only reflex.
Relational, trauma-informed therapy pays attention to what has helped you survive, what no longer fits, and what becomes possible when you are met with steadiness and care.
At Peace Love Wellness, we move at a pace that respects your nervous system, your history, and your capacity.
The goal is not to become someone else. It is to feel more connected to yourself, your relationships, and the life you are trying to build.

Learn More About Online TherapySome clients work with supervised clinicians who offer relational therapy with close clinical support behind the scenes.
Learn More About Supervised CliniciansYou are not only a diagnosis, a relationship status, a family role, or a list of symptoms.
Your culture, race, gender, sexuality, body, neurotype, spirituality, class background, family history, relationship structure, and lived experiences may all shape what you carry. They may be central to therapy, or they may be one part of a much larger story.
Our clinicians are committed to care that is inclusive, identity-affirming, culturally responsive, and grounded in respect for the whole person.
We do not expect you to translate your life into someone else's language before therapy can begin.
Many clients use insurance for therapy at Peace Love Wellness. We are in-network with Aetna, Anthem / Empire BlueCross (including Excellus, Highmark, and out-of-state BlueCard plans), Carelon, Cigna, EmblemHealth, MagnaCare, Meritain, and NYSHIP / The Empire Plan. Cameron is also in-network with NYCE PPO, United HealthCare / Optum, Oxford, Oscar, and UMR. Ryn can also see clients with United HealthCare / Optum, Oxford, Oscar, or UMR who have out-of-network benefits: Ryn bills out-of-network, and you pay your in-network copay. Because coverage varies by plan and clinician, we'll help you understand your options before you begin.

Peace Love Wellness is a fully online practice. All sessions are held over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform for clients located anywhere in New York State. There is no physical office to commute to.
We work with adults, couples, and families across New York. Teens ages 16+ can work with Karen Garcia or Zaire Smalls. Our care is affirming and culturally responsive; all Karen’s session formats are available in English or Spanish.
You share what you are looking for through our Get Started form — concerns, insurance, schedule, and any preferences about your therapist. We review it and suggest a clinician who seems like a genuine fit, not just whoever has an opening. You are never left to guess from a grid of faces.
