At Defining Moments, we support the training and development of future mental health professionals through our collaboration with NYU graduate counseling residents.

These residents are highly trained graduate students completing their clinical internships under the supervision of licensed professionals. They bring strong academic preparation, compassion, and a commitment to supporting individuals in their mental health journey.

Working with a counseling resident may offer several benefits, including:

• Fresh, up-to-date perspectives on therapeutic approaches

• More focused attention due to smaller caseloads

• Close collaboration with licensed clinicians and supervision from experienced professionals

• A more accessible, reduced-rate option for mental health support

• Contribution to the training and development of future therapists

Residents work closely with our clinical team, ensuring that clients receive thoughtful, supervised, and collaborative care throughout the process.

If at any point a different level of care is preferred, clients may be transitioned to a licensed therapist within the practice.
