Hi, I’m Pura, and I’m here to listen without judgment, support your growth, and help you feel seen and empowered. I’m a therapist-in-training and a Certified Peer Support Specialist with nine years of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My work is rooted in a deep belief in client-driven recovery, collaboration, and the healing power of authentic connection. I believe in walking alongside clients on their journey, never in front, never behind. I love working with individuals who are seeking to understand themselves more fully, process complex emotions, and step into their own strength. I use a person-centered, strengths-based approach and often draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while integrating other modalities depending on what feels most supportive for each individual. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I honor the uniqueness of every person’s story and healing path. I look forward to meeting you, and hearing your story. Pura Torres is a therapist-in-training at Sol Health. Sol Health is a digital health startup that offers $30 therapy to Gen Zs by connecting them with therapists-in-training accruing clinical hours.

I am a psychotherapist (MHC-LP) at The Boundary in New York City, providing thoughtful, evidence-informed therapy for adults and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity concerns, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented, helping clients understand the patterns that shape their lives while building practical skills for stability, resilience, and meaningful change. I work especially well with students who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves, offering a steady space where they can think clearly, process deeply, and grow at their own pace. Students can expect a grounded, nonjudgmental environment where their experiences are validated and their goals supported.

Is now the time for change? Do you have goals but aren’t sure how to achieve them or even set them? Has life thrown you some curveballs lately? You are in the right place. I commend you for taking the first step on the path to a better you. You deserve to be the best version of yourself and you are already taking the first step in self care by being here. Investing in yourself is the very best investment you can make. As a therapist, I have the wonderful opportunity to support you on your path to becoming the best version of you. In my career and life I have experienced the difficulty in trying to balance it all and found that it’s not easy. We often put ourselves on the back burner while taking care of everything and everyone else. I look forward to helping you prioritize, set boundaries, and find happiness for you. We are a good team if you are ready to make the time to evaluate your life, adjust your goals and gain confidence in putting yourself first.

Therapy is one's self-exploration journey that I would love to be a part of. As a mental health counselor, my aim is to build strong relationships with each of my clients and revel in their accomplishments. More importantly, I am focused on guiding my clients through their challenges and recovery process with a person-centered, humanistic approach. Individuals can expect to step into a safe and empathetic environment where I will work to understand potential triggers and build a treatment plan with the goal of releasing these mental burdens. By working together, I aim to empower individuals in their healing journey. It’s my goal to ensure that these individuals grow their self-confidence, self-love, and self-worth over time and learn how to have healthy. I particularly enjoy working with people to explore the best solutions to their emotional challenges and believe it is truly a collaborative effort to support individuals as they face the challenges of life and begin to construct healthier and authentic ways to experience the world.

Meaningful relationships help maintain mental and physical health and can be an antidote to stress. When our core relationships are struggling or when we're struggling to build core relationships, the stress and loneliness can permeate all aspects of our lives. Relational stress and loneliness are reasons many people seek the support of a therapist. Through therapy, clients can explore relationship patterns and barriers preventing them from making and maintaining meaningful and warm connection with others. Treatment can include treating symptoms of social anxiety, exploring discomfort with intimacy, navigating conflict, setting boundaries, and voicing needs. In addition to individual therapy, family and couple therapy can provide insight into system dynamics. Clients learn to recognize and change negative cycles and build deeper and more positive bonds. If you are dissatisfied with your relationships and are ready to work toward change, meeting with a therapist is a great place to start. If you’re not sure if individual, couple, or family therapy is the right choice, a free consultation with a therapist to discuss options can be helpful. If you think I might be a good fit, please reach out.

Being a college student—while also navigating identity, familial expectations, social anxiety, academic pressures, substance use, sex, sexuality, and questions about the future—can be a lot. I get it. With personal experience in many of these areas and professional experience supporting youth and young adults through trauma, mental health challenges, and life transitions, I know how overwhelming this stage can feel. My name is Eric Almond, LMSW, and I’ve worked with youth in community programs, outpatient clinics, and campus-based support spaces. I also know what it's like to return to school after some time away, and the challenges that inevitably follow. Whether you're new to school, returning, or continuing later in life, I aim to create a space that feels grounding, warm, and affirming—one where you don’t have to have it all figured out to be taken seriously. You're allowed to show up just as you are, and we’ll work from there. I offer a free fifteen minute virtual consultation to see if we're a good fit.
