Our Therapists

Michelle Bloom, L.C.S.W.-R

Michelle Bloom, L.C.S.W.-R

I believe in a holistic and mindful approach when working with my clients. I strive to understand and incorporate both the unique relationship between our mind and body, as well as our relationships with others, and the world around us. 

Our offerings center around the ability to hold space and time for those who find themsevles in a place of transition.  When my clients are called to a threshhold of an initiation of self, we look at it together, and hold a body of work. Our hope is to integrate this body of work into a place where we can live deeply into ourselves, deeply into our relationships with others, and deeply into the world around us. 

I am influenced by the ideas and theories surrounding early attachment patterns, Jungian developmental psychology, and the teachings and rituals of indigenous cultures that have honored and marked transition intiations for centuries. I passionately bring these ideas and philosophies into my work with individuals, couples, and families.

I received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from Hunter College School of Social Work and went on to complete postgraduate training at the American Institute for Psychoanalysis. My  experience includes training in Attachment-based Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), Maternal and Family Work, an Grief Tending and Processing. I opened BloomTherapy in 2013 with the hopes of empowering individuals to create their own communities, villages, and circles of support that can hold them throughout a lifetime.

Piper Nunez, L.C.S.W.

I believe in a therapeutic process that is collaborative and flexible- meeting my clients where they are to foster meaningful growth and change. I approach therapy with warmth, compassion, and honest reflection to create a non-judgmental space for self-exploration. I am passionate about working with individuals and couples who are carrying the emotional weight of transitions, relationship struggles, and attachment injuries. 

My aim is to collaboratively help clients identify and understand patterns in which they feel stuck, find relief from narratives that are no longer serving them, and learn how to move towards a value-driven life feeling empowered.

I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT) as well as psychodynamic and strengths-based practices to best meet the individual needs of my clients.

With many years of experience counseling clients on anxiety/stress, transition, transformation, relationships, grief, and pet loss, I approach therapy holistically and collaboratively. I integrate a variety of modalities, including psychodynamics, spirituality, mindfulness, meditation, and visualization. My goal is to help clients to create balanced lives that honor their authentic selves.
 
Therapy can be a creative process that opens the door to possibilities and choices. In addition to working with clients, I have written a column in The Wave Newspaper, sharing practical strategies and inspiration in the healing process. I have taught Spirituality and Healing to master-level social workers at the Silberman School of Social Work.
 
I hold Certificates from the Mani Center in Integrating Spirituality with Psychotherapy, an MSW from Hunter College School of Social Work, and an MBA from Columbia Business School. My experience in the corporate world affords me a broad perspective with which to understand and support clients. Using skill and compassion, I lead them through rocky terrain with intention and grace.
