Welcome! My name is Joel Kuppersmith, I am a clinical psychologist based in Huntington, NY. My experience in working with individuals , couples and families has been mutually gratifying. Although changes have occurred in the mental health field, including more targeted medications and claims for instant relief, I believe people desire a more qualitative overall improvement in themselves and in their relationships.

Hello I have been a practicing therapist for 20 years. I received my Masters degree from Buffalo University in 2005. I continue to receive and seek education to further my skill set.
In my practice, I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, or dementia who are ready for change but may feel uncertain about where to start. Together, we will identify your unique needs, set meaningful goals, and create a personalized plan that supports healing, growth, and long-term well-being. My goal is to help you not just manage symptoms but rediscover balance, resilience, and hope.
Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and direct. I aim to create a space where you feel understood and supported, while also gently challenged to grow. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, not judgmental, not passive, and not surface-level.
Starting therapy requires courage and strength even when we are in pain or dissatisfied with the way things are. It is difficult to open up to a stranger, to change the familiar ways of dealing with life and people. That is why I believe in providing a safe, nonjudgmental environment, where we will look at recurrent patterns in your life (for example why do you choose "the same type" of partners or feel so lonely or anxious, why do you often have the "same conflicts" with your bosses or friends) and gain insight into unconscious motivations of your behavior.
I specialize in behavioral excess (misuse of substances, sex and food) and mood disorders (anxiety, depression). Because of my belief in personal freedom I try to provide accepting and safe environment where we can talk about you and your life openly.
I am bilingual (Russian/English)and have extensive training in psycholinguistics.
I am a dedicated Family / Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner committed to supporting my clients on their mental health journey. My approach is both warm and compassionate, creating a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe in being direct and honest while maintaining a foundation of empathy and respect.
With a strong focus on holistic and personalized care, I work collaboratively with clients to develop effective treatment plans that address your unique needs, challenges, and goals. My strength lies in balancing a straightforward communication style with genuine empathy, ensuring you feel supported and motivated throughout your mental health journey.
Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or life transitions, I am here to help guide you toward wellness with kindness, clarity, and understanding.
My passion is to help others achieve wellness. I am a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience. I currently work both inpatient and outpatient facilities within New York City. I specialize in the diagnoses and treatment of adults with a range of mental health issues.
I offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, individual psychotherapy and medication management for adults. My goal is to explore each of my patient's situations and issues judiciously before arriving at appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan.
My patients often say that I am approachable, personable, and respond quickly to emails/phone calls. I am accepting new patients.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Newburgh, NY
Searching for therapists in Newburgh starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want help with. Therapists may support concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what they focus on, and what you can expect in sessions.
In a smaller city like Newburgh, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New York. You may also want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you assess fit beyond location, including communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns similar to yours.
Therapy in Newburgh can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you search for therapists who accept your insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapists in Newburgh, compare profiles, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and plan.
