Penelope Dow

Penelope Dow

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 3.1 mi away • New York, NY


In my practice I work with clients of all backgrounds and age groups; and I have a specialty in adolescence and young adulthood. I enjoy supporting clients as they navigate growing up and becoming adults in this complex world. My approach is grounded in Psychodynamic Theory and the belief that many of our problems are rooted in thinking patterns, behaviors, and emotional responses that we developed early in life. My work is eclectic and collaborative. I draw on many modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Informed Treatment, Family Systems Theory and Motivational Interviewing.


Most importantly, I see the therapeutic process as a collaborative endeavor between client and therapist. The client is the expert on themselves, and the therapist is a partner in their journey of self-exploration. We work together to change habits, behaviors, and thought patterns, that are causing distress, and getting in the way of the client’s goals.


I have a background in the creative arts, and enjoy supporting artists, writers, and actors, as they seek balance in their lives. Also, I have spent many years working in the New York City Schools with children, families, teachers, and administrators, to address individual students’ emotional and behavioral problems that interfere with school performance.

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 Astoria

Searching for therapists in Astoria starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy style, and experience with concerns like yours. 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 Astoria and nearby Queens neighborhoods, local office options may vary by schedule, location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while keeping care connected to New York-licensed therapists. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and practical details like in-person or virtual availability.

Therapy in Astoria can be expensive 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 therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and show current availability. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs before booking, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
