Book a therapist or psychiatrist in New York covered by United Healthcare

I believe prioritizing mental health is key to stability in life. I know there is a better world out there and people need the tools to connect with their upmost insight for mental well being. In this field I am always eager to research and find healing processes to tailor the need of each individual.

Have you been let down by the mental health system? If you've been rushed through appointments, given quick diagnoses, or told your labs are "fine" when you know something is off, I want you to know you're not alone—and you're in the right place. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I created my practice for individuals like you who are ready to move beyond symptom-chasing and find a clear, root-cause understanding of their mental health.

Welcome to Heal With Practice! My name is Pourcher and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I'm a Bronx, NY, native with a passion for holding space for others. I love reminding people that they are human. We experience various emotions that may sometimes feel difficult navigating alone. I would love to provide you with a therapeutic experience that feels empowering, safe, and exhaling.

I’ve been working with women, children and families for over 15 years in individual counseling, group settings, and program development. My expertise lies in helping people understand their own emotional experience, to use words not violence, to cope, to reduce impulsive and compulsive behavior, to advocate for themselves.

I believe to live fully, we must feel. Intensely. Viscerally. Freely. To feel pride and pain, joy and frustration. To taste the freedoms of life, as well as its restraints. To reconcile thoughts, actions and emotions that are often at odds. To square all of this with culture, beliefs, and history. To live fully is when a sense of equity, equality and balance is awakened. To live fully is to gain perspective and know that you can weather all of it, and not be overcome by these complexities, but learn to integrate them, for a full life.

Hello! I welcome you on your healing journey!

With over eight years of experience in the mental health field, I am honored to be practicing my purpose of helping others embrace their inner-strength.

My name is Angela Vassel and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am qualified to partner with you to help you manage well your relationships and to find solutions to your mental and emotional needs. The courses covered in my graduate work and subsequent experiences have prepared me to offer my professional services in a caring and timely way. I find working with stepfamilies/blended families a particularly gratifying engagement. Anger Management is also one of my treatment area.

I am a provider who is passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and make meaningful progress toward emotional, personal, and spiritual well being. Whether you are facing a difficult season or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to support and empower you every step of the way.

I received my Masters Degree in Social Work from Stonybrook University. I have over 13 years of professional experience in working with families and individuals of all ages to move towards living a meaningful and fulfilling life. I look forward to working with you or your loved one in a safe and warm environment.

In my twenties, I studied philosophy and English literature. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked for 15 years in magazine journalism.

I worked for 6 years in hospice care, first as an interfaith chaplain and then as a bereavement counselor.

I enjoy nature and the arts: music, poetry and painting. I practice Tibetan Buddhism.

I've been married for 30 years and have two adult daughters.

I incorporate emerging evidence-based treatments that support neuro-plasticity and expanded awareness.

Congratulations on your commitment to your mental wellness. With over 30 years in practice, I have worked with a wide range of clients and concerns. Many are high-functioning individuals navigating stress, loss, trauma, or life transitions, seeking more than symptom relief. Others feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, even without a clear reason. I work collaboratively to understand your full experience and support meaningful change, integrating insight, practical strategies, and body-based awareness to help you build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and move forward with clarity and intention.

Life is about change and some changes are more difficult to navigate than others. When we are stressed, anxious or depressed, it is a sign that our lives are out of balance. My focus is on providing a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental and compassionate space for adults, couples, and families to share their experiences and to help navigate through some more difficult life changes [positive or negative] to create more balance in your life. I have at least 4 years of experience in working with a wide range of people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, family conflict, as well as symptoms of severe and persistent mental illness. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to make changes to improve their lives, find purpose, and meaningful fulfillment. I would encourage you to create the skills for effective coping mechanisms for overall wellness. I can collaborate with psychiatrists, primary care physicians, social service agencies and will accept most health insurances. Deciding to engage in therapy and choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. Finding a therapist whose personality and style is a good fit with yours is important. More importantly, I see YOU as the expert in your life with unique values, needs and issues. I look forward to helping you to more effectively pursue your values and explore what keeps you from being the best you ever.
