A MESSAGE FROM Dr. Jimenez
Many teens and young adults struggle to transition from adolescence to adulthood. They often struggle with anxiety, depression, and life stressors.
Hello! I’m Dr. Dayana Jimenez, a licensed clinical psychologist in NYC, and founder of Open Hearts Therapy. We specialize in helping three types of people: teens, young adults, and parents.
First, we work with teens who are struggling with anxiety, feeling sad or are just having a hard time in their stage of life and feel stuck.
Second, we work with college students and young professionals who may be dealing with anxiety or depression. They may also be feeling overwhelmed by life transitions and complicated relationships.
Finally, we help parents understand what their child may be going through, and work to strengthen the relationship with their child.
