Elaine Becker

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker–R (LCSW-R) with over 20 years of experience in the social work field. Since becoming licensed as an LMSW in 2005 and advancing to LCSW-R, I have developed a diverse clinical background working with individuals across the lifespan in settings including inpatient psychiatric care, medical social work, skilled nursing facilities, schools, and outpatient mental health.

My varied experience has allowed me to work with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and difficulties adjusting to change. My graduate training included a specialization in health, providing me with additional insight into the connection between physical and emotional well-being.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and respect. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood. My approach is individualized, helping clients gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and build upon their strengths.

I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. My goal is to support clients in creating meaningful change and moving toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Leigha Rogers

Therapist

Virtual • Fayetteville, NY


I believe therapy should be both a safe place to land and a space that inspires meaningful change. As an art and talk therapist, I offer a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, emotions, and patterns with honesty and curiosity.

I integrate creative expression with traditional psychotherapy, recognizing that sometimes words alone are not enough. Through art-making, reflection, and conversation, I help clients deepen their self-understanding, process difficult experiences, and connect with strengths they may not yet fully recognize.

Dr. Beverly Regisford-Henry

Dr. Beverly Regisford-Henry

Therapist

Virtual • New York, NY


Hello everyone! I am Dr. Beverly Regisford-Henry, a licensed psychotherapist in both Florida and New York. I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, and the families who support them.

I approach therapy with the understanding that children do not heal in isolation. With over 12 years of experience as a therapist and more than 20 years as an educator, I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise, educational insight, and genuine compassion to my work.

I have walked school hallways, partnered closely with parents, and supported families navigating real-life challenges. I understand the quieter struggles young people often carry—and I am deeply committed to helping them feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My work also extends to adults navigating family and relationship challenges. I have experience helping individuals work through marital and partner conflict, parent-child concerns, strained relationships with adult children, and the unique challenges that can arise within blended families and stepparent/stepchild relationships. I help clients recognize unhealthy patterns, improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, and find more effective ways to navigate difficult family relationships.

Whether I am working with a child, teen, young adult, parent, or an adult experiencing relationship or family conflict, my goal is to provide a supportive space where clients can gain insight, strengthen relationships, and move toward meaningful change.

Dr. Sheryl Campbell-Julien, DNP, PMHNP-BC

Peace Of Mind Nurse Practitioner In Psychiatry PLLC

In an era of "assembly-line" healthcare, Dr. Sheryl Campbell-Julien offers a sophisticated alternative. She understands that mental health care is not one-size-fits-all.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, she provides a high-touch, individualized care experience designed for high-functioning professional adults who seek more than just a routine appointment.

Dr. Campbell-Julien specializes in the intersection of clinical precision and personalized care. Whether navigating the complexities of trauma, the weight of burnout, anxiety, depression, ADHD or the nuances of mood disorders, her approach is rooted in quality over volume. Clients benefit from comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and expert medication management that considers the "full picture" of their lives, rather than a list of symptoms.

With a Doctorate from D'Youville College and deep experience in New York's clinical landscape, Dr. Campbell-Julien provides the clinical authority necessary to move clients beyond temporary relief, guiding them towards a sustained state of clarity, balance, emotional resilience and peace of mind.

Psychologist

Virtual • New York


If something has felt off for a while, you're not imagining it — and you don't have to keep pushing through alone.

Maybe it's work stress, a relationship that's wearing on you, or just the relentless pace of life in New York. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know: what you're feeling makes sense, and things can genuinely get better.

I'm Sarah, a licensed psychologist with a Psy.D. from Spalding University. I specialize in anxiety and depression, and I've worked across hospitals, correctional settings, and private practice — experiences that gave me a deep respect for how differently people cope, survive, and heal. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I won't treat you like a checklist.

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.
