I am a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist in New York State, with more than 30 years of experience in mental health, psychological assessment, trauma recovery, and public safety wellness. Born in the Bronx and raised in Queens, New York, I developed a deep appreciation for the resilience, diversity, and strengths of the communities I have served throughout my career.
My approach to therapy is integrative, trauma-informed, evidence-based, and person-centered. I believe effective treatment begins with understanding the whole person—not simply their symptoms. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), mindfulness-based interventions, and insight-oriented approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to develop greater self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful and lasting change.
I strive to provide a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns openly and honestly.
Whether someone is seeking help for anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, occupational challenges, or personal growth, my goal is to help them build resilience, enhance well-being, and develop a greater sense of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in their lives.
I'm Dan, a licensed mental health counselor with more than 10 years working with people across a wide range of concerns. My style is warm and casual, and clients consistently tell me I'm easy to talk with. I hold certifications in adolescent and substance abuse counseling and draw on multiple evidence-based approaches tailored to your specific needs. I believe everyone has the capacity for a happier, more fulfilling life, and I would be glad to be part of that journey with you.
I’m Linda Orji, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over Eleven years of experience in health care. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for individuals with both medical and psychiatric conditions, which deepened my understanding of the powerful connection between the mind, body, and overall well-being.
I am a clinical psychotherapist with almost a decade of experience working with couples and adults who want to better understand themselves, and work towards creating the lives and relationships they crave. I am passionate about helping people reconnect to themselves, their hopes, and their autonomy. I specialize in relational/marital challenges, anxiety, grief, addiction, eating disorders, and trauma.
I utilize a multi-theoretical basis for all my clients. For my practice, trust, warmth and communication are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I have a specialty in child/adolescent/family issues. However, I see many young adults who have issues feeling at ease and confident in their relationships and workplace. I endeavor to lift my clients out of the dark place that may be weighing them down to finding the solutions that will enable them to live freely.
Healing and growth can be challenging, and you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re feeling the weight of past experiences or facing challenges in your relationship, we offer a warm, welcoming space for relational psychotherapy where you can be honest about what you’re carrying and feel fully supported. Our work is grounded in relational and attachment-focused therapy with attention to somatic awareness.
We focus on what matters most—the moments that spark insight, the conversations that feel necessary but tough, and the steps that help you move forward. Together, we will process what has been difficult, nurture your connection with yourself, and deepen your bond with the people who matter most.
Hi there and welcome!
My priority is supporting clients on their journeys towards personal healing & growth.
In 2010, I received my MSW/LMSW. While doing outpatient clinical work at the NYC non-profit agency JBFCS, I became an LCSW. In 2016, I began to establish my private psychotherapy practice, focusing on young and professional adults presenting with a broad variety of life challenges.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Poughkeepsie, NY
Finding therapists in Poughkeepsie starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, work stress, or a major life transition. As you compare Poughkeepsie therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Poughkeepsie, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in New York. You may also want to filter by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions, communicates, and supports people with concerns similar to yours.
Therapy in Poughkeepsie can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists in Poughkeepsie, NY who take insurance, show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and offer virtual or in-person sessions. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
