I began my career as a Social Worker in 1998 where she gained a wealth of experience working with different ages and ethnic groups. Beverly has been working in a clinical setting over 27 years as a Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist, providing therapeutic counselling, crisis intervention and psychotherapy.
My professional goal is to make an effort to foster and maintain healthy therapeutic relationship with all clients. I am a very active listener who offers support and makes an effort to help Clients achieve their treatment goals. I genuinely care for all my clients as they take this journey.
Hi, I am Kamilla, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over six years of experience working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings, including community mental health, forensic services, behavioral health, and developmental disability programs. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and have extensive experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions.
Anxiety and depression can make everyday life feel exhausting — and finding the right support shouldn't add to that. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner practicing via telehealth across New York State, and I genuinely love what I do. My style is collaborative: I'm not here to hand you a prescription and send you on your way. I want to understand your full picture — your history, your goals, what you've tried before — and build a plan that actually fits your life. Care works best when it feels like a partnership, and that's exactly what I aim for. There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental health, and I'll never treat it that way. If you're ready to take the next step — or even just curious about what that might look like — I'd love to connect.
Hi! I’m Briana. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Brooklyn, NY. I work primarily with adults and young adults navigating life transitions, managing stress, and coping with anxiety and depression.
Hi, I'm Jean, an LCSW-R with over 20 years experience helping adults and couples with anxiety, relationship issues and life changes. I provide a supportive dialogue to foster healing and growth, giving you practical tools for lasting confidence and self actualization.
I earned my License in Clinical Social Work from Nazareth College and my MBA from University of Rochester. My background is in therapy, coaching, applied behavior analysis and working with organizations, teams and leaders to foster workplace cultures built on trust, engagement and well-being.
I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety, panic, chronic stress, and major life transitions. Whether you've been feeling overwhelmed for years or recently found yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, we'll work together to understand what's keeping the cycle going and build practical skills to help you move forward.
As a licensed clinical social worker with experience in university mental health, I've supported adults facing academic, career, and personal challenges. I believe therapy should be both compassionate and practical, giving you a place to feel understood while also helping you develop skills you can use in everyday life.
With sixteen years of experience in mental health and social work, I bring a warm, calm, and nurturing presence to every therapeutic relationship. My background spans a wide range of settings - from working with senior adults and neurodivergent individuals to my current role as a Clinical Program Coordinator in correction-based operations - giving me a deeply grounded, real-world perspective on resilience and healing. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a Minor in Criminal Justice from Delaware State University and a Master of Social Work from Fordham University, and I am licensed as both an LMSW and LCSW in the State of New York. I also integrate Christian counseling for clients who find meaning and support in their faith.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Albany, NY
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.
