Hello there — I’m Nic 👋🏼

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I believe that most people already have a deep understanding of themselves and what they need, it can just be difficult to access that understanding when we’re overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns that no longer serve us.


As a systems therapist, I look beyond the individual to understand the relationships, experiences, and environments that shape how we think, feel, and respond. I’m particularly interested in helping people understand interpersonal conflict and the patterns that develop between us, whether with a partner, family member, friend, or colleague.

Hey - I'm Mike and as you can see from my photo I like to keep things on the more casual side with my clients. I weave fun, jokes, and genuine questions about your personal life into our care plan. If you're looking for a Psychiatric provider who is all business - I'm probably not the right fit. But if you're looking to work with someone who is down to earth, and willing to go the extra mile to be your true partner and confidant on this journey, I'd love to meet you. As a lifelong New Yorker, I understand the unique pressures, pace, and complexity of life here — and I use that insight to offer care that actually fits your world.

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 Rensselaer

Searching for therapists in Rensselaer starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with people whose needs are similar to yours. Provider bios can help you see how a therapist describes their style, what they focus on in sessions, and whether their approach feels like a fit.

In a smaller city like Rensselaer, nearby in-person options may be more limited than in larger parts of the Capital Region. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a licensed New York therapist who accepts your insurance. You may also want to filter by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and free phone consultations. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare practical details and get a clearer sense of each therapist’s communication style.

Therapy in Rensselaer can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care starts. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from providers who are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
