Find a therapist in Ithaca, NY — covered by insurance

I am a member of a prestigious group of therapists at NY Mental Health Center. We understand that it takes courage to speak with a therapist, but the potential rewards outweigh the risks of opening up. I have experience helping clients with anxiety, mood disorders, relationship problems, addictions, trauma, and coping with disease, among other concerns. I work with each patient to create a strong relationship and I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for open communication.

Hi, I’m Dr. Mike Genovese. I’m a board-certified psychiatrist with 23 years of experience. I began my career in a hospital setting before transitioning to private practice. My focus is on combining clinical expertise with a practical, compassionate approach to help patients feel understood and supported in their treatment.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing telehealth therapy throughout New York. I work with adults who may be feeling overwhelmed by emotions, experiencing anxiety, struggling with self-worth, or wanting to better understand themselves and the experiences that have shaped who they are. I also support parents who want to better understand their own emotions and responses, strengthen their relationship with their children.

My work centers women and queer adults who wish to soften after life has tried to harden them. I specialize in working with folks who are:

• healing painful patterns
• building healthier relationships
• processing grief & loss
• navigating chronic illness/stress
• working through difficult family dynamics
• unmasking
• connecting with their identity
• exploring the impact institutional/personal trauma

I am a queer, gender non-conforming person. I use they/she/he pronouns. I’m Puerto Rican & Italian and I identify as mixed race. That identity affords me a whole lot, while also leaving me feeling quite lost at times. I move through the world in a body that has chronic illness and is dynamically disabled. I think it’s important to take these experiences and translate them into my work when appropriate. I am not affiliated with any religious institution, though I did grow up Catholic. I live by my principles, and am deeply passionate about social justice, food, culture, and sweatpants.

Both in clinical settings and in my personal life, I have been described as principled, observant, quick witted, dedicated, soft, direct, whimsical, rebellious, and genuine.

Hi, I'm Jean, an LCSW-R with over 20 years experience helping adults and couples with anxiety, relationship issues and life changes. I provide a supportive dialogue to foster healing and growth, giving you practical tools for lasting confidence and self actualization.
