01 · Who Ada works with

Ada works with stress, Anxiety, depression and relationship issues

Ada lists 9 specialisms. Specialisms are the subjects Ada chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Ada's own words

What Ada says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Hi there! I am a clinical social worker licensed in New York with five years of experience working with a range of youth, families, and older adults in the foster care system, in homeless shelters, and in a psychiatric hospital setting. I have had the opportunity to help clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, developmental disabilities, relationship issues, life changes, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.

I am warm, empathetic, and engaging, trusting you to be the expert on yourself. My approach is client-centered and based in systems theory. I truly believe that everyone is capable of changing their narrative and feeling empowered to make the changes and growth they hope to in life.

Taking the time to invest in your mental health is not only courageous but commendable. I very much look forward to meeting you and working with you on your journey towards self-empowerment and becoming the best version of yourself.

03 · How Ada works

The 2 approaches Ada lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Ada lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Ada's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Ada runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Ada practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Ada's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Ada at this point.

2. Naming Ada specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Ada is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Ada.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking Ada

Built from what Ada actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Ada's - Ada has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Ada's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Ada. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
