Hi! My name is Frances and I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Mahopac with over 30 years of experience
My name is Linda Nwahiri, I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have vast experience as a nurse and APRN with over 12 years of experience in chronic disease and complex care management. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I provide compassionate, evidence-based care through medication management and supportive therapy. I take time to listen to your story, answer your questions, and ensure you feel like an active partner in your care. I believe treatment works best when it's personalized and collaborative.
My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms but also to help you build resilience, regain confidence, and improve your overall quality of life. Whether you're seeking care for the first time or returning after previous treatment, you'll be welcomed with compassion, respect, and without judgment.

Many people come to therapy because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they don't fully understand. My approach goes beyond addressing symptoms—I support clients understand the root beneath their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll explore the experiences, beliefs, relationships, and life events that have shaped the way you see yourself and the world.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Brooklyn
Searching for therapists in Brooklyn starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Brooklyn has therapists across neighborhoods like Greenpoint, Williamsburg, DUMBO, and Carroll Gardens, with experience in concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match your needs. Bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Brooklyn offers many therapy options, which can make the search easier when you have clear filters. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, or transit, or virtual appointments that fit your schedule from another private space. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what the first few sessions may look like.
Therapy in Brooklyn can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find Brooklyn therapists who match your preferences, may accept your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see an estimated cost before booking, review therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
