Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 5 mi away • Astoria, NY


The core of my work has been to help people find solutions that work, to problems that prevent them from moving forward and living satisfying lives and relationships. I help people who feel stuck, to overcome life’s challenges, regain control of their lives and become the managers of their own self. Over the last 17 years I have been working with adults, teenagers and children from different cultures both in the US and overseas. Through my specialization and experience in severe and persistent mental illness I help people tackle emotional and communication difficulties that interfere with their relationships with friends, family

and the workplace. In my clinical work, I use evidence based psychotherapeutic approaches that have been proven effective through time. In a compassionate, and supportive environment I help people deal with a variety of problems like anxiety, trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, personality disorders,

emotional, relationship issues and divorce. I have extensive experience working with veterans, college students, substance abuse and LGBD individuals. In addition to individual therapy I do parent consultations for children and teenagers.

What if improving your relationships isn’t starting together, but starting with you? As a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with individuals who are curious about their relationship patterns and ready to create meaningful change from the inside out. You may feel stuck in recurring dynamics, find yourself questioning how your family background shapes your relationships, or want to communicate more effectively. Together, we create a space to gain clarity, better understand what’s driving these patterns, and begin making intentional shifts toward healthier, more balanced relationships.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 7.7 mi away • New York, NY


Hey there! I hope you will not hang out with me for a long time. I am here to evaluate your challenge and suggest a way out of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and such. Therapy must be short and effective, not a drag.

I offer:

  • Short-term holistic therapy. It means we look at your lifestyle and mainly: what you think, what you believe in, if you are physically active, if you eat junk, drink sodas and alcohol, if you watch junk, and how you dress. Your posture matter as well. All of these are pillars of your success for your mental health.

If you need diagnostic evals for your schools and work:

  • Borderline Personality Disorder evaluations
  • ADHD & Autism evaluations

If you think you are super strange and have nobody to talk to about your UFO abductions and psychic visits- you are at the right place.

I offer clinically rooted and evidence based sessions

  • Support for dissociation , UFO dreams, out-of-body experiences and all that cool staff.
  • ESA psychiatric evaluations for qualified NYC clients

I hold a degree in Advanced Clinical Practice from Columbia University School of Social Work and am a licensed psychotherapist in New York City.

Dr. Yitzchok Wagshul

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 6.4 mi away • Brooklyn, NY


Hi, I’m Yitzchok Wagshul. One day, my young grandson asked me what kind of doctor I am. I’m a clinical psychologist, so I replied, “I’m the kind of doctor who helps sad people feel happy.” He looked at me and said, “Zaidy,” (that’s “Grandpa” in Yiddish) "that’s not being a doctor, that’s just being nice!” That’s a cute story, but I want to tell you something: the better part of therapy is “being nice.” I know a lot of psychology. But if I didn’t respect each person I work with, if I didn’t view them with complete acceptance and unconditional positive regard, all of that would be worthless, because no one would listen to me.

Dr. Roomana Qayyum

Psychiatrist

Virtual & in-person • 8 mi away • New York, NY


I am a psychiatrist with years of further training and experience in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I treat a wide array of issues, ranging from anxiety, depression, grief, problems in intimate relationships, and chronic dissatisfaction to a general sense of malaise. I also work with patients who are experiencing confusion about their feelings and an inability to make important decisions, and who thereby feel stuck and unable to move forward. In addition, I help patients going through a crisis or a life transition that may lead to an increased burden of demands requiring change.

I work with patients to help them recount and revisit their life's story and create a new narrative that works better for them. In that spirit, I don't give overt advice, instructions, or quick solutions, but instead encourage them to arrive at their own solutions after carefully exploring the roots of their current problems.

I have a judicious approach to prescribing medications when warranted to support the work of therapy.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Forest Hills

Searching for therapists in Forest Hills starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, psychodynamic therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Forest Hills has local therapy options, but the right fit may depend on schedule, office location, and appointment format. If nearby offices around Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, or Forest Hills Gardens have limited availability, virtual sessions can expand your options across New York. As you narrow your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what sessions may look like.

Therapy in Forest Hills can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who match your preferences and are available for in-person or virtual care. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for care in Forest Hills. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
