Counseling and Energy Healing
Where therapy meets energy healing to support your growth, balance, and transformation.
About Me
Hey, hi, nice to meet you and welcome to my little corner of the internet! My name is Helen Capita and I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of New York.
Usui Reiki Trained:
Level I: Shoden: Self Healing
Level II: Okuden: Distance Healing
Level III: Shinpiden Spiritual Healing
Reiki Master: Expected December 2025
Acknowledging the need for change is the first step on any journey toward healing, self-exploration, and growth. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals gain insight into their emotional and energetic patterns, build resilience, and reconnect with the truest parts of themselves.
My work is grounded in the belief that authenticity is the foundation for lasting transformation. I believe that healing happens when we are seen, heard, and accepted as we are—free from judgment or expectation. In our work together, I strive to create a safe, nurturing space where you can explore not only your challenges but also your dreams, identity, and purpose.
I use an integrative approach that includes Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and somatic awareness. I also offer Reiki sessions for clients who are interested in deepening their healing journey through energy work. Reiki supports the release of emotional and energetic blockages, calms the nervous system, and helps you access inner peace and clarity.
Spirituality plays a vital role in my practice. For those who are open to it, I weave in conversations around astrology, paganism, crystals, energy work, and intuitive practices. I see spirituality not as a fixed belief system, but as a deeply personal and evolving relationship with ourselves and the universe around us. I believe that every person is an energetic being, and that healing often comes from remembering who we truly are beneath the layers of expectation, fear, and survival.
Finding alignment—emotionally, spiritually, and energetically—is a central theme in my work. Alignment means living from a place of truth, wholeness, and integrity. It’s the process of returning to your inner compass and honoring what feels right for you, even if that path looks different than what others expect. I am here to walk with you as you reclaim your voice, embrace your full self, and move toward a life that feels aligned and authentic.
Whether our sessions are filled with insight, tears, laughter, or stillness, I hold space for it all. Healing isn’t linear, but it is sacred—and I would be honored to support you on your journey.

So what’s Reiki?
Reiki is a holistic healing practice that supports the mind, body, and spirit through gentle, intentional energy work. Originating in Japan, Reiki works with the body’s natural life force energy to promote balance, reduce stress, and encourage deep relaxation.
During a session, the practitioner channels energy through light touch or hands placed just above the body. This process helps to release energetic blockages, calm the nervous system, and support emotional and physical healing. Many people describe sensations of warmth, tingling, or deep peace, and leave feeling more centered and grounded.
Reiki can be a powerful complement to talk therapy and other forms of treatment, especially for those who are navigating trauma, anxiety, or periods of transition. It offers a space to tune inward, connect with your body, and align with your inner wisdom.
You don’t need any prior experience or belief system to benefit from Reiki—just an openness to receive and explore.
For Reiki to be provided live, distance, or in the future, energetic consent is integral to the process. Please note that Reiki will not be provided unless energetic consent has been explicitly given.
Trauma-informed care is an incredibly important aspect of Reiki, so the discussion of whether people wish for hands-on support will be asked at the beginning of the session, with people being able to choose what their preferences are.
Types of Reiki Offered
-
Live Reiki
Live Reiki can be provided both in person and via distance over Zoom. The session will last for around 50 minutes. I’ve found that people benefit from discussing their experiences afterwards; however, this is not a requirement of the session. There is an option for me to send you a voice memo detailing what occurred in the session as well. I also like to pull a Tarot/Oracle card before the session starts, which can be shared or bypassed altogether. Reiki can also simply be received with no additional discussion.
Sessions are $125 – if in-person payment can be provided on the day of the appointment, otherwise payment will be expected at booking.
-
Asynchronous Reiki
Asynchronous Reiki means that we don’t have to be in the same room, time zone, or have it be on the same day.
Don’t have time to book a live Reiki session?
No problem, Reiki can be sent via distance without you having to reserve time for it, and the best part is that you get to go about your day! You can even have Reiki sent to a future version of you regarding a particular topic or event. Asynchronous sessions are conducted with me setting aside intentional time set aside to send Reiki remotely. Included in this service is an optional Tarot/Oracle Card pull and a voice memo detailing what was observed and experienced during the session. Please know that if you don’t want the Tarot/Oracle card pull, that’s totally okay, just let me know when filling out your information.
Asynchronous Reiki sessions are for 30 minutes and start at $60. Please note one intention per appointment.
-
Situational Reiki
When sending Reiki to a future event or situation, what we’re focusing on is how you want to FEEL during that specific moment. For example, say you’re going for a new job promotion at work that will help you get closer to your dreams. What would you benefit the most from receiving in that moment?
· Maybe it’s to increase clarity on how to highlight your previous accomplishments.
· Give you the confidence boost you need to ask for what you want.
· Ask those insightful questions that will set you apart from other applicants.
· Being okay with taking up space and being perceived by others
Sending Reiki in the future can help supplement the skills you're already learning in your healing journey or just give you the added boost during those challenging moments. Also, knowing that Reiki inherently goes where it needs to go for every individual. We might not be able to control the outcome of a situation, but we can help you feel empowered about how you showed up to that event.
Some examples of situations that Reiki can be sent to:
Feeling depleted/burnt out, drivers tests, licensing exams, weddings, creative blocks, dealing with challenging people, activism activities, and trips to name a few.
Asynchronous Situational Reiki sessions are for 30 minutes and start at $60.
I will send you an email or text message letting you know when I start and when I end. There will be a limit of one intention per appointment; if you feel like that’s not enough time or wish to go deeper, consider booking a live Reiki session. When making the appointment, please note:
· Please book this at minimum three days before the event in question. Booking the day before or the day of the event will not be accepted.
FAQs
-
Absolutely. Therapy isn’t only for crisis—it’s for care, for growth, for reconnecting with yourself in a deeper way. You don’t need to have gone through something dramatic or traumatic to deserve support.
Sometimes it’s the quieter things—feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of your path—that are the most powerful invitations to begin healing. Therapy can help you explore your inner world, process the things you haven’t had space to name, and begin aligning your life with who you truly are.
You are allowed to ask for help simply because you want to feel better, grow, or come home to yourself. That’s reason enough.
-
I approach therapy with a spirit of openness and trust in the unfolding process. Each session is a space for discovery—where realizations, emotions, and inner truths can rise to the surface in their own time. You're welcome to come in with a specific topic or intention, but it's also perfectly okay to arrive without a clear direction. If you're unsure where to begin, I’ll offer gentle prompts and intuitive guidance to help us navigate what’s present. Whether we’re diving deep or sitting with the subtle, each session is a co-creation rooted in presence, curiosity, and connection to your inner self.
-
Not at all. Reiki doesn’t require you to fully understand it—or even to believe in it—for it to support your healing. Like many natural processes (think sleep, intuition, or even love), Reiki works on a subtle level, often beyond words or logic.
What matters most is your openness to the experience. Some people feel sensations like warmth, tingling, or emotional release during a session. Others simply feel calm, grounded, or lighter afterward. Whether or not you can explain it, your body and energy system know how to receive what they need.
Reiki gently meets you where you are—no pressure, no expectations. Just a quiet invitation to return to balance and alignment.
-
Reiki sessions are calm, supportive spaces where you can rest, release, and reconnect with yourself. We’ll start with a brief check-in to talk about your intentions or anything you'd like me to know. You’ll remain fully clothed and get comfortable—usually lying down, though sitting is always an option.
You’re in control of your experience. I’ll always ask for your consent before beginning, and you can choose whether or not you’re comfortable with gentle touch. If you prefer, Reiki can be done with hands hovering just above the body—both are equally effective. Your boundaries, comfort, and nervous system are honored throughout the session.
During Reiki, people often feel warmth, tingling, emotion, or deep relaxation—but every experience is unique. We’ll close with time to ground and gently reflect if you’d like.
-
It depends on your needs, goals, and how you're feeling energetically. Some people come weekly or bi-weekly when they’re moving through stress, transition, or emotional healing. Others prefer monthly sessions to support general balance, clarity, and self-care.
The most important thing is tuning into what feels right for you. Reiki is about alignment, not pressure. I’m always happy to help you find a rhythm that supports your nervous system, spiritual path, and overall well-being. Whether you come regularly or just when you feel called, Reiki will meet you exactly where you are.
-
It can absolutely be done in person, via Zoom, or even by email. If email is the preferred method I would specifically dedicate time to send Reiki energy for you.
