Dr. Lorin Singh

Psychologist

Virtual • New York


Hi, I'm Dr. Lorin Singh, a licensed psychologist providing telehealth therapy for adults throughout New York.

Over the past decade, I've worked in psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, community mental health, leadership, and private practice. These experiences have allowed me to support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, burnout, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

My goal is to create a space where you feel understood without judgment. Therapy doesn't have to feel overly clinical or intimidating. I believe in meeting people where they are, helping them better understand themselves, and building practical tools that create meaningful, lasting change.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who began my career at the Dent Neurologic Institute, where I focused on the connection between brain function and mental health. I am a good listener and devote much of my appointment time to understanding patient concerns and treatment expectations. This helps me provide consistently positive outcomes without relying on polypharmacy or a hit-and-trial approach. My psychiatric practice is rooted in my knowledge of how different neurotransmitters influence mood, memory, intellect, and cognition, shaping each person’s unique experience.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Brooklyn

Searching for addiction therapists in Brooklyn starts with finding someone whose experience matches the kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use disorder, gambling, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and changes in relationships or daily routines. Look for a therapist who lists experience with addiction recovery, substance use support, or behavioral concerns in their bio. Relevant approaches may include motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, and coordination with a prescriber when medication management is part of your care team.

Brooklyn has many therapists across neighborhoods, but the right fit depends on more than location. You may want an office near transit, a virtual appointment that fits your schedule, or a therapist with evening availability. Recovery can involve changes over time, so it helps to look for someone who describes a clear, non-judgmental approach and experience with harm reduction frameworks. Before booking, read therapist profiles for details about their style, session structure, specialties, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Brooklyn can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who may accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
