I believe therapy should be a space where you can be completely yourself without fear of judgment. I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR) with over 10 years of clinical experience and have been in private practice for the past seven years. I earned my Master's degree in Art Therapy from New York University and previously worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in inpatient psychiatry at Mount Sinai Hospital. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and person-centered, incorporating CBT, DBT, art therapy, and additional training in Jungian and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed approaches. Together, we'll build practical skills, deepen self-awareness, and create meaningful, lasting change

Dr. Roomana Qayyum

Dr. Roomana Qayyum

Psychiatrist

Virtual & in-person • 2.3 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.

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 Long Island City

Searching for therapists in Long Island City starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s profile can help you understand what they focus on and what sessions may be like.

In Long Island City, your search may include offices near Hunters Point, Court Square, Queens Plaza, or nearby parts of Queens. Local appointment options may be limited by schedule, commute, and availability, so virtual therapy can help expand your choices. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions close to transit or virtual appointments that fit your calendar. You can also narrow your search by therapists accepting new clients, evening or weekend availability, free phone consultations, and the communication style described in each bio.

Therapy in Long Island City can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find licensed therapists, many of whom accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
