I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trying to make sense of themselves during stressful or transitional periods of life. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, burnout, work-related stress, or the emotional toll of caring for others. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and able to approach challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

I have particular experience working with young adults, young professionals, healthcare workers, first responders, and men—especially those who may be new to therapy or unsure where to start. Through my work across emergency, outpatient, residential, and telehealth settings, I’ve supported individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life circumstances. This has shaped me into a flexible and adaptable clinician who is comfortable meeting clients where they are.

Esther Jung

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Growing up as an immigrant, I was fortunate to have teachers, mentors, and counselors in my life who made me feel "seen" and "heard" and helped me navigate the nuances of my complex, contradicting dual cultures. Inspired, it led me to officially train to provide "unconditional regard" (safe spaces) for those in similar situations.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy. Please note, I do not provide couple or family therapy services on insurance as these forms of therapy are not recognized by insurances. If you'd like couple or family services, I provide out of network services and can also provide a sliding scale based on your income/ genuine financial need.

My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.

I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.

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.
