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.

Simranjit Kaur

Simranjit Kaur

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I partner with children, teens, and families to provide comprehensive, compassionate mental health care. My practice specializes in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of ADHD, anxiety, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), depression, and OCD. I believe in looking at the whole child, blending evidence-based medical management with therapeutic support to help your child thrive at home, in school, and in life.

What uniquely informs my psychiatric practice is my foundational background in pediatric neurology. This specialized experience allows me to deeply understand the complex intersection between brain development, neurological functioning, and behavioral health. When treating conditions like ADHD or OCD, I look beyond surface-level symptoms to understand the underlying neurological drivers, allowing me to create highly precise, targeted treatment plans that standard approaches might miss.

One of the first things I like to do as a therapist is to get to know each other. It’s my opinion that having a therapist you’re able to trust and feel comfortable with is essential in building the therapeutic alliance. From there, we will assess your goals as well as your strengths to increase self-esteem and improve relationships.

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 an Anxiety Therapist in Rensselaer, NY

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.
