VIRTUAL THERAPY · NEW YORK
A place to breathe,
be seen, and find
your way back
to yourself.
You don’t have to carry it alone. There is room here for your story, your questions, and the parts of you still finding their way.
A 15-minute conversation. A place to begin.

REFLECT.
RELEASE.
RECONNECT.
LET’S SLOW THIS DOWN
What if you didn’t have to push through?
When you’re used to keeping going, it can be hard to notice how much you’re carrying. Here, we can take things one at a time.
Take a breath. When you’re ready, press play.
THE PERSON BEHIND HIGH WATER
Hi there, I’m Ebony.
I’m a licensed mental health counselor and the founder of High Water. I bring compassion and curiosity to the experiences you carry, with care shaped around what matters to you.
Together, we can understand the stories you’ve been living and choose how to move forward with greater awareness and self-trust.
SUPPORT FOR THE SEASON YOU’RE IN
What’s been weighing on you lately?
When your mind won’t slow down.
Overthinking, worrying, feeling on edge, or always thinking about what could go wrong.
When life changes before you’re ready.
A new role, becoming a parent, starting over, or adjusting when life doesn’t look the way it used to.
When relationships feel hard.
The same arguments, trouble communicating, changing boundaries, or feeling disconnected from people you care about.
When a loss still hurts.
A loved one, a relationship, a job, a version of your life, or a loss that still finds its way back.
When stress follows you everywhere.
Bills, providing for others, job uncertainty, or the mental weight of making everything work.
When you’re tired of holding it together.
Burnout, sadness, exhaustion, feeling stuck, or realizing you haven’t felt like yourself in a while.
