It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.

Dr. E Christine Moll

Dr. E Christine Moll

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hello Good Person, I am a licensed mental health counselor with decades of experience as both a clinician and an educator. I spent many years teaching: first as K-12 educator, and then as a counselor educator, in addition to having a private practice in New York. Currently I have a small private practice; I enjoy sitting “remotely” with people, listening to their experiences, and helping them move through whatever life is bringing their way.

I work with adults across the full lifespan, including college students finding their footing, midlife adults navigating major transitions, and older adults embracing what comes next. Adult development has always been at the heart of my work, and I believe it is never too late to seek the support you deserve. I offer telehealth sessions for clients in New York, allowing you to receive care from wherever you feel most comfortable. I look forward to joining you on your journey. Peace and all Good, Christine Moll.

Jennifer Downie

Jennifer Downie

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Buffalo, NY


I came to therapy from teaching, and that background shapes how I show up: I'm used to adapting to who's in front of me, reading what's unsaid, and finding an approach that actually fits the person — not just the presenting concern.

I work with adolescents and adults on trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, maternal mental health, grief, and family stress. EMDR is a core part of my practice — particularly for clients whose past experiences still affect how they feel and function today, even when they'd rather they didn't.

I keep a small, intentional caseload. If you'd like to see if we're a good fit, I offer a free phone consultation before we commit to anything.

Hypatia Martinez

Hypatia Martinez

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Accepting new clients for August 2026!

My name is Hypatia (pronounced Hy-PAH-Shuh), and I work with adults who are tired of carrying everything on their own.

You might look like you have it all together, but internally you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, burned out, grieving, or emotionally drained. You may be the person everyone relies on, yet struggle to find space for your own needs. You think deeply, feel deeply, and may use creativity, reflection, or self-expression to make sense of the world.

I offer therapy that is compassionate and down-to-earth. Together, we'll explore what's weighing on you, build on your strengths, and develop tools that support healing, growth, and greater balance. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, not judged, labeled, or reduced to a diagnosis.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Albany

Searching for therapists in Albany starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Albany therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and background fit your needs. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what sessions may be like.

In a smaller city like Albany, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. Some people prefer in-person sessions near Downtown, Arbor Hill, South End, or nearby areas, while others choose virtual appointments for schedule flexibility. Before booking, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles closely can also show how a therapist communicates and whether their style seems like a good fit.

Therapy in Albany can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for Albany therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can compare bios, filter by your preferences, and book directly when you’re ready.
