Hi, I’m an Evette Dunlap, MFT intern who graduated from North Central University with a background in Psychology and Education. I also work as a mental health counselor with the Bowery Mission that helps clients with substance abuse and severe mental illness. My goal is to provide an environment of safety and positivity, to help a client(s) gain a great perspective on achieving their goals. I mostly work with individuals, couples, and adolescents.

People seek therapy for different reasons. Some people seek services in order to deal with relationship building, parenting, the death of a loved one or a past/re-occurring trauma. All reasons are valid and should be dealt with by meeting the client where he/she/they are at emotionally. I try to set forth an empathic and calming environment in order to allow the client to look inward to bring insight, motivation, accountability and self-esteem towards an improved emotional health. At the same time, I try to incorporate cultural factors as I have opened my experience as a clinician to understand different cultures, ethnicities, sexual orientation and gender. 

As a follower of systemic and other theories, I enjoy looking at the all systems in one’s life, analyzing and identifying patterns in order to bring insight and awareness of one’s actions, thoughts and emotional reactivity.

Hello, my name is Cheryl Ford. I am currently an intern at Mindful Momentos Marriage and Family Therapy in New York. I am working towards licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have a strong work ethic and am self-motivated, intuitive and organized. I have a positive attitude, and most importantly, great interpersonal and communication skills. Over the years working with individuals and families I developed skills in being a supportive, empathic, and efficient leader. Furthermore, my experience with volunteering for a variety of mentorship and group leader have instilled in me the desire to work with individuals and families to build strong relationships.

I am presently a marriage and family therapy intern working towards earning my master's degree from Northcentral University. I am also a certified Intuitive Empowerment Coach and Flow Breathwork facilitator-in-training. I believe in the provision of care that is person-centered, holistic, and liberatory. I find immense joy in supporting individuals in the self-development process as they embark on their unique journey toward new possibilities. Beyond my professional endeavors, you'll find me exploring the intersections of psychology, spirituality, and other integrative healing modalities as well as seeking out pathways toward individual and collective healing.

Many people struggle with managing difficulties in their daily lives, which can negatively impact their mental health and overall well-being. I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for my clients. I believe in taking a holistic and collaborative approach, working together to identify the underlying causes of their struggles, and developing personalized strategies to address them. By working with me, clients can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences, develop skills to manage their symptoms and improve their well-being, and build resilience to face life's challenges. Ultimately, my aim is to empower my clients to take charge of their mental health and live fulfilling and meaningful lives.
