Therapy can be healing, communicative, and an avenue to self-discovery. It can be a way to access social skills, self-expression, and self-awareness.. Whatever the goal, utilizing the power of music as a vehicle towards these processes can be very effective. (Some of my goals and techniques are featured in a Psychology Today article on 2/18/21 "Increase Coping and Resilience by Writing a Song").
When you're constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or carrying the weight of everyone else's expectations, it's easy to lose sight of who you are. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship challenges, or questions about your identity, therapy can help you break free from the patterns that keep you feeling stuck. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build confidence, and develop practical tools so you can feel more grounded, more connected, and more in control of your life.
We can move forward, overcome, learn and grow, seeking peace, balance, happiness. I was a NYS Certified School Psychologist for 16 years, and have 7 years of combined supervised and licensed experience as a Mental Health Counselor. I have several degrees in addition to Mental Health Counseling which broadens my perspectives and experience. I was a Training Consultant for Dale Carnegie Training. I also have a Jack Nash Honors MBA, working in foreign exchange capital markets for several years. Counseling however is my calling, my purpose.
As your mental health provider here's what I want you to know about me:
- I listen first
- I believe in collaboration
- I treat the whole person
- Medication is a tool, not a requirement.
- There is no shame in seeking help.
- Progress is possible.
I’m Theo Bizimana, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Daystar University in Nairobi, Kenya, and an Advanced Certificate in Mental Health Counseling from the University at Buffalo. I bring more than 17 years of experience supporting individuals and communities, including over 11 years of work focused on community trauma in East Africa and 6 years of clinical experience in the United States.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming—especially if you’ve been living with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other psychiatric conditions that affect your daily life and relationships. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I am an LCSW, with experience working in inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, where I have supported individuals during some of the most vulnerable and complex moments of their lives. This background has given me a deep understanding of mental health conditions, crisis stabilization, emotional regulation, and the impact that untreated trauma can have on a person’s life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jamaica
Searching for therapists in Jamaica starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. Some people look for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or work stress. Others may want a therapist with experience in a specific approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. Reading each therapist’s profile can help you see their listed specialties, therapy style, and what a first session may be like.
In Jamaica and nearby Queens neighborhoods, in-person appointment options may depend on office location, transit access, and schedule fit. Virtual therapy can expand your options if local appointment times are limited or if it fits better with your calendar. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that work for you, and provide a free phone consultation. A therapist’s bio can also give you a clearer sense of how they communicate and who they commonly support.
Therapy in Jamaica can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is a reliable way to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
