It can be hard to recognize when you need to turn to someone else for help. Sometimes having a trusted person outside your family & friends can offer clarity and help during difficult situations. I work with my clients to identify what is making them feel "stuck" or overwhelmed and put them back on the path of feeling empowered, grounded and hopeful. By exploring your thoughts & feelings, we will be able to move you forward and help you to find the support you need and find happiness in the moment.
During this unique time, I am also offering short term support to individuals in quarantine, especially students on college campuses
I believe prioritizing mental health is key to stability in life. I know there is a better world out there and people need the tools to connect with their upmost insight for mental well being. In this field I am always eager to research and find healing processes to tailor the need of each individual.

Reaching out is hard, especially if you've already tried therapy before and it didn't quite get you where you needed to go. I want you to know that doesn't mean something's wrong with you, it usually just means the approach wasn't the right fit. I've spent over a decade working with people carrying trauma and addiction, adults and teens both, and what I care about most is helping you feel truly understood, maybe for the first time, before we even get to the work of healing.
As a trauma therapist, I help people overcome terrible things that have happened to them in their lives. Abusive childhoods, violence in interpersonal relationships, rape, sexual assault, and cult survivors are my areas of focus. I help resolve the PTSD that often results from these atrocities, by using EMDR and traditional psychotherapy.
The common lie my clients tell themselves is, “It’s not that bad, other people have it worse.” You’re not other people. You’re allowed to get help.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Mount Vernon
Searching for therapists in Mount Vernon starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to work on. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare Mount Vernon therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their style.
In a smaller city like Mount Vernon, the right local fit may depend on more than office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in New York. You may also want to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading profiles before booking can help you evaluate communication style, experience, and whether the therapist’s approach fits the kind of support you want.
Therapy in Mount Vernon can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for a Mount Vernon therapist who takes your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
