Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Elmira, NY covered by Cigna

Hi there! My name is Libby and I am happy you’re here. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been providing therapy for clients for six years.

Hello, my name is Richard Leone, LCSW, but please feel free to call me Rick. I provide therapy services to individuals throughout New York. I received my Master’s in Social Work from Nazareth University and utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based interventions to help clients manage anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health challenges. I also have experience helping individuals navigate relationship stressors, breakups, and the emotional difficulties that often accompany major life transitions. Prior to becoming a therapist, I spent three years working as an Intake Coordinator for a local hospital, which provided me with valuable experience in mental health assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges, building coping skills, and working toward meaningful change. I genuinely love what I do and look forward to meeting and helping each and every client I have the privilege of working with.

My name is Marie. I am an advanced practice nurse dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward mental and emotional well-being. I hold an MSN from Walden University I have about 5 years of experience working in the mental health field as a nurse. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations, which has enriched my understanding and approach to therapy.

What if you had the time and space to understand the root of your inner self-critic and feelings of guilt? What if you could understand how it shows up in your emotional response, ability to be confident, and how you connect in relationships? I bring compassion and curiosity to create this time and space for you. Together we work to understand all aspects of who you are, how it contributes to feelings of anxiety and depression, and guide you to live with a natural feeling of confidence in yourself.

I believe we all need to be heard and treated with respect and dignity. Treatment involves us working together to get the best results.

I'm Dan, a licensed mental health counselor with more than 10 years working with people across a wide range of concerns. My style is warm and casual, and clients consistently tell me I'm easy to talk with. I hold certifications in adolescent and substance abuse counseling and draw on multiple evidence-based approaches tailored to your specific needs. I believe everyone has the capacity for a happier, more fulfilling life, and I would be glad to be part of that journey with you.

Here's what I want you to know: after four decades of sitting across from people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or convinced that something is fundamentally wrong with them — I have yet to meet a person whose thinking can't shift. Not because I have some magic technique, but because changing how we think about our experiences is genuinely learnable. I hold a PhD from Duke University and trained post-doctorally with Dr. Albert Ellis, the psychologist who pioneered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means the approach I use — Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy — goes straight to the beliefs driving your distress, not just the surface symptoms. I work with adults and seniors, I take things seriously without making therapy feel heavy, and I bring real optimism to this work — because I've seen what becomes possible when people stop fighting their own minds and start understanding them.

My name is Gillian Foster and I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with dual certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC). I take a holistic approach to care, addressing both mental and physical health needs. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns using evidence-based, individualized treatment plans. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and nonjudgmental, with a focus on helping clients feel heard, balanced, and in control of their well-being.

I believe that therapy begins with feeling truly seen and understood. I am a Licensed Psychoanalyst in New York State with a background in clinical psychology, counseling, and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University and completed my psychoanalytic training at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis in New York City.

Over the past several years, I have provided therapy to adults, couples, families, and young adults. I have experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity concerns, and deeper emotional patterns that may feel difficult to understand on their own.

My approach is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable bringing their full selves into the room, while working together to develop greater insight, self-understanding, and meaningful change.
