Meet Our Therapists
We’re a small, thoughtful team of licensed therapists providing remote therapy across New York. Our clinicians share a grounded, compassionate approach to care and are trained in evidence-based practices that support meaningful, lasting change.
Carolyn Valenzuela, LCSW
Founder + Head TherapistCarolyn Valenzuela is the founder and head therapist of Remote Therapy New York. She created the practice after years of sitting with clients who felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they couldn’t name — not because they were broken, but because their inner world needed care and understanding. Her work blends IFS, mindfulness, CBT, and trauma-informed therapy to help clients slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with a steadier sense of self.
Shaqueen Walcott, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social WorkerShaqueen Walcott brings a warm, thoughtful presence to her work, prioritizing comfort, trust, and collaboration from the very first session. She takes an individualized approach, integrating CBT, mindfulness, and supportive dialogue to help clients build coping skills, strengthen resilience, and move toward the changes they’re seeking.
Aïcha Nadifi, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
My work draws from attachment theory, CBT/ACT, IFS-informed parts work, and somatic regulation so change is felt, not just understood. Clients describe me as grounding and thoughtful; they leave sessions with language for what they’re feeling and simple steps to move forward. I’m culturally responsive and sensitive to faith, family roles, and identity. You don’t have to explain your background to be understood here. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of patterns, and build flexible habits that support the life you want.
