Welcome!
My name is Joyce Quitasol and I am a Filipina American, NYC based therapist serving adults and couples in-person and in the virtual space.
Like many of you, my own life is full of twists and turns. And also like you, I hold a spectrum of identities that have informed my unique set of values. My journey has led me through navigating the world as a second-generation Filipina American, single mother, and former business owner. My lived experience combined with my psychodynamic training informs a culturally responsive, holistic approach that allows clients to understand and accept the many parts of themselves. I believe healing comes in many forms. As a former pastry chef, I witnessed the restorative power of community, empathic leadership, and house made bread. In the therapeutic space, I co-create a path of healing that is unique to your needs and experience.
In the wild, outside of the therapy room, I can be found at the pottery wheel, in the Pilates studio, or in the kitchen, baking with my three kids.
