Founder

Jandy Choe, LMHC

Jandy was born in Belize City and raised in Queens NY. She graduated with her master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from SUNY New Paltz in 2015 (go hawks!) and since then has worked in addiction treatment, emergency walk in clinics, and finally made her way into private practice. She specializes in the PTSD population with a subspecialty of working with clients who were raised by narcissistic parents. As a result, she decided to become EMDR certified. She also enjoys working with the neurodivergent population. In her spare time she enjoys spending time in nature with friends and spending time with her fur kids- Maggie and Martin. 

Jessica Shepard, MHC

Jess was born in Western NY and has lived in Ithaca, NY for the past 13 years. She graduated with her master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Alfred University in 2021. Jess has experience in community mental health and substance use settings, working with children & youth and adults, allowing her to become clear on what therapeutic styles and modalities she best aligns with. Jess has an interdisciplinary approach blending together tools from her training as a therapist, background in yoga and mindfulness, and lessons learned from her own mental health journey to support people of all ages on their path to self discovery and wellness. Particularly, Jess specializes in the treatment of eating disorders, grief, cycles of abuse and violence, ADHD and addiction. Outside of work, Jess spends her time practicing yoga (26 & 2 series), hosting dinner parties, dancing to live music and binge watching a good show.
