Petra Stone, LCSW

Petra Stone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 30 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She speaks English and supports clients who want clearer communication, less isolation, and more direction in life.

Petra focuses on practical steps clients can use outside sessions. She talks through patterns that keep people stuck, like guilt, shame, or repeated conflicts. Sessions often center on rebuilding self-respect and practical communication skills that reduce daily friction with others.

She also works with people processing past abuse or traumatic events. Petra helps identify overwhelming memories and their impact on day-to-day functioning, and she offers ways to manage distressing feelings so life can feel more manageable.

Addiction and recovery concerns are approached with attention to triggers and routines. Petra helps clients notice what keeps addictive behaviors active and then maps small changes that make safer choices easier to keep.

Many who see her want more clarity about life purpose or to practice self-love after long periods of self-criticism. Petra uses concrete exercises and conversational work to rebuild habits and shift how people treat themselves. Her long experience in New York informs a practical style that recognizes work, family, money, and community pressures.
