Mpower Counseling
Our Mission
Empowering Individuals. Embracing Identity. Transforming Lives.
At Mpower Counseling, our mission is to empower individuals to reclaim their narratives, embrace their authentic selves, and achieve emotional well-being through compassionate, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and evidence-based care.
Founded by Larisa Correa, LCSW, MSW, SIFI, Mpower Counseling is a bilingual, bicultural practice grounded in the belief that healing begins when individuals feel seen, heard, understood, and respected.
We embrace a holistic, humanistic, and intersectional approach to mental health, recognizing that identity, culture, lived experiences, relationships, and social environments shape each person's journey toward healing.
Our practice is committed to providing an inclusive and affirming therapeutic environment for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, identity development, chronic illness, life transitions, and other emotional challenges. We are especially dedicated to supporting historically underserved communities, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals, autistic individuals, people with AuDHD, trauma survivors, and those navigating complex cultural, religious, and family experiences.
Through authenticity, empathy, humor, collaboration, and strength-based interventions, we help individuals recognize their inherent resilience, develop meaningful coping strategies, and create sustainable personal change.
Beyond individual psychotherapy, Mpower Counseling is committed to advancing the social work profession through clinical supervision, field education, mentorship, and the development of future mental health professionals.

Larisa Correa, LCSW
Larisa Correa, LCSW, MSW, SiFi
As a bilingual, bicultural, Latinx, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Therapist, Healer, and Life Coach, with over a decade of experience, I have dedicated my practice to working with individuals, centering wholeness with an intersectional approach to understanding the situation–the Who, What, Where, When, and How. In session, you will experience authenticity, empathy, and humor as I bring a humanistic approach to each session.
I graduated from New York University Silver School of Social Work. I earned a Master of Social Work in 2013 and my clinical license in 2018. I am licensed in New York and Florida and supervise MSW and LMSW students in New York.

Avigail David, LMSW
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker dedicated to providing compassionate, culturally responsive, and strength-based care that supports resilience, personal growth, and overall well-being. I specialize in working with neurodivergent
individuals, particularly those who are autistic or have AuDHD, and strive to create an affirming, collaborative therapeutic space where clients feel understood and empowered.
I also have experience working with individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+, survivors of trauma and people coping with cancer, and those navigating life within—or transitioning away from—orthodox religious communities. My
approach is rooted in respect for each client's unique identity, lived experience, and strengths, with the goal of helping them
build meaningful, sustainable change.
I earned my MSW from Stony Brook University.
