John Dowsett

Therapist

Virtual • New York, NY


My approach to therapy is straight forward, solution focused and empathetic. I understand that life can throw you curves and living with change and uncertainty can lead you down an unfamiliar path. 2021 has been a year of change, adjustment, stress and hardship. If you are tired of working on your issues alone, now may be the time to seek out help. In fact, you are making a courageous first step. You may not know what to do to make your life better, you just know that you want things to change and you want to be happier and healthier. I can help you sort out what steps you need to take to identify and address your issues.


I view therapy as an active, engaging and collaborative process. People say that I am not like other therapists. "He worked hard to see me, hear me, understand my issues and accept me for who I am. He did not sit back and say uh-huh every few minutes. Together we found solutions to long standing problems."


Trusting relationships do matter and from the beginning of the therapy process. I work hard to provide a safe and caring place to talk. I typically spend the first session getting to know who you are, where you want to be, and what is standing in your way of getting unstuck. Call me today and discover if I am the right resource for you.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Buffalo, NY

Finding OCD therapists in Buffalo starts with looking for a therapist who has specific experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder and related concerns, such as intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, checking, contamination fears, and reassurance seeking. Exposure and response prevention, also called ERP, is a well-established therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you review therapist profiles, look for clear references to OCD, ERP, exposure and response prevention, cognitive behavioral therapy, and experience supporting people with the concerns you want to address.

Buffalo has a strong mental health care community, though the right OCD fit may depend on both specialty training and practical access. Some people prefer in-person OCD therapy near them, while others use virtual sessions to consider more therapists across the Buffalo area and nearby communities. When comparing options, look beyond whether a therapist lists OCD as a specialty. Check whether they mention ERP training, current appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and how they describe their session structure or communication style.

Therapy in Buffalo 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 search for OCD therapists, review detailed bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and schedule directly when you are ready. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan on Headway before booking.
