About Zoe Reyes

I am a bicultural and bilingual (English and Spanish speaking) psychotherapist. I was born and raised in New York City. My parents are hard-working, warm-hearted and lively-spirited immigrants from Puerto Rico. This gives me an intimate understanding of how acculturation and generational gaps impact our identity and our relationships. I use a psychodynamic approach and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies to help clients gain greater insight into themselves and their circumstances to facilitate change. I also use spiritually informed therapy with those who choose to incorporate that into their journey. Clients have shared that they appreciate my ability to make them laugh in hard times and find hope, joy and light in darkness. I consider these to be the most important compliments I have received.

My style is directive. I would describe myself as a cross between a cheerleader and a drill sergeant. I also empower my clients to take action to move towards their goals, using honesty and humor. I love food, dancing to 90s salsa, hip hop and R&B and traveling so I make reference to those things often.

What People Are Saying

    “

    I'm so grateful for therapy. I was called "fake/fraud" by someone close to me because I don't share my negative news or issues that I’ve been dealing with for over 2 years now. I gotta thank you, Zoe, for always understanding the REALITY OF OUR REALITY.

  • Susana

    “

    I had the privilege of being supervised by Zoe Reyes for a year and a half. Through her supportive guidance, she pushed me outside my comfort zone while at the same time making me feel safe, affirmed, and challenged to critically reflect on my work with clients. Her thought-provoking and reassuring supervision style sharpened my clinical skills and increased my confidence as a therapist. I really appreciate Zoe’s strong clinical experience and dedication. She has just the right balance of understanding and telling it like it is. I most highly recommend her if you want to extend your skills and thinking.

  • Jess

    My first meeting with Zoe was professional and welcoming. She was honest and direct in regard to her style of therapy, cultural views and what our shared goals would be. In the beginning, I was hesitant about opening up to a new therapist, but I was able to speak with her so easily about my Latin upbringing and she was able to relate. Her style of therapy is something I truly value. In our sessions we used workbooks, and I was given assignments to complete before the following session. In our follow up sessions, she is always honest and direct with her thought-provoking responses to my answers and questions. She taught me valuable techniques for dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and negative thoughts. I’m in a better place mentally and emotionally because of Zoé’s support and encouragement. Her ability to help me push forward empowered me to love myself and learn what it truly means to have peace. While I put in the work too, I must say it couldn’t have been done without Zoe’s professional guidance. She is truly a wonderful therapist who is kind, passionate about her work and most importantly helping her clients achieve their goals. I’m grateful that I had her as a therapist.

  • Chanel

    Zoe was my clinical supervisor in a private practice for about 3 years. Because of Zoe I am a confident, ethical and clinically equipped LCSW today. Zoe is knowledgeable, professional, thorough, caring and takes a strategic approach when analyzing any client situation. I would highly recommend Zoe as a supervisor for any level of licensure or career growth.
