I've worked successfully with race-and class-diverse, LGBT and straight clients from teens to seniors. Many are new to NYC or in other life transitions. Clients come with anxiety, identity issues, relationship or work problems, trouble managing anger...My style is warm yet analytical, and interactive. I encourage laughter! I find that people want to understand themselves, break free from self-damaging patterns, and live more fully--and joyfully.
I am a clinical psychotherapist with almost a decade of experience working with couples and adults who want to better understand themselves, and work towards creating the lives and relationships they crave. I am passionate about helping people reconnect to themselves, their hopes, and their autonomy. I specialize in relational/marital challenges, anxiety, grief, addiction, eating disorders, and trauma.
I utilize a multi-theoretical basis for all my clients. For my practice, trust, warmth and communication are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I have a specialty in child/adolescent/family issues. However, I see many young adults who have issues feeling at ease and confident in their relationships and workplace. I endeavor to lift my clients out of the dark place that may be weighing them down to finding the solutions that will enable them to live freely.
As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, I am a firm believer in the importance of taking care of your mental health. I have worked with individuals, families, and groups of all ages, supporting clients through concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions.
Hello — I’m Dr. Nikkah, a licensed clinical psychologist based in New York City with over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate interpersonal relationships and personal conflicts. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues or life transitions. My therapeutic style is eclectic, as I have training in a multitude of therapeutic modalities, e.g. CBT, psychodynamic therapy, solution focused etc. to best match your specific needs.
As a humanist, I believe in the inherent worth to every single human being. I am guided by the ethos of a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, and it is with each movement that we get closer to where we want to be. Through intentional effort we encounter change, embrace healing, and a foster a fruitful fulfilling life.
I’m a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and drama therapist who works with women and young adults navigating anxiety, eating disorder recovery, substance use, and life transitions.
I have experience in inpatient rehab and use a harm reduction, nonjudgmental approach. My work combines talk therapy with creative techniques when helpful—though there’s no pressure to be “artistic.”

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Cedarhurst
Searching for therapists in Cedarhurst starts with knowing what kind of support you want from care. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to address. Some therapists use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed approaches, while others describe their style through the populations they work with or the structure of their sessions.
Cedarhurst is a smaller Long Island community, so local in-person options may vary by schedule, office location, and availability. Virtual therapy can expand your search across New York while still letting you see a therapist licensed in the state. You may also want to consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles can help you understand how each person works, what they specialize in, and what a first session may include.
Therapy in Cedarhurst can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before booking. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists who match your needs, offer in-person or virtual care, and let you confirm whether your insurance is accepted before booking. You can browse profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
