Welcome! I am a mother, former school social worker, reiki master, artist, and an empath with almost a decade of clinical experience. I help anxious people transform their lives, empower themselves, and gain unstoppable confidence. I specialize in helping you navigate big life transitions, whether that be in school, relationships, career, new parenthood, or simply wanting clarity on what your next move is. You've come to the right place.
Are you feeling alone and stuck in a transitional period in your life and that your mind is filled with negative thoughts directed towards yourself creating conflict or distance in your relationships with others? You are feeling hopeless and are having low energy, like you are about to give up? While you may not know the tools to help you, you do know what has not been working for you. Together we can build your own toolbox for you to help embrace control in your life!
I have had extensive experience with trauma in individuals from adolescence to late adulthood. I believe that trauma looks and feels different to every person. Two people experiencing the same event will have different outlooks and understandings of it. A traumatic event can take many forms. I want to help you pick up on where your thoughts, feelings and behaviors come from, even if you have never experienced “trauma".
I strive to practice integrity, humility, competence, transparency, courage, and collaboration in my personal and professional life. For more than a decade, I have served at-risk populations through nonprofit organizations in New York, Texas, and Massachusetts. My work brought me into clients’ homes, women’s clinics, schools, and therapeutic day programs. I’ve gained invaluable experience and skills engaging with Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in a private practice infusion clinic. I currently support clients through telehealth and in-person sessions with customized, eclectic, evidence-based treatment plans. These plans help them gain insight into habitual thought patterns and behaviors, promoting nonjudgmental awareness and curiosity by building emotional and experiential skills.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with nine years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents and adults. My primary focus has been helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and low self-esteem. I aspire to empower my clients while also building a safe space for self-exploration and growth. It is truly a privilege to be a part of the healing journey and helping clients find freedom from distressing symptoms.
Hi — I’m John, and my mission is to help you get out of your own way. I earned my Master’s from SUNY Albany’s School of Social Welfare and have spent over a decade working with adults, teens, and families from every background — from New York to Oregon and back again. Together, we’ll challenge the worries, thoughts, and beliefs that hold you back — so you can clear a path toward the life you actually want.
Hi, I'm Jean-Jeffrey Marcellus, DNP, PMHNP-BC, AGNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 19 years of healthcare experience. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and substance use disorders.
I specialize in Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for alcohol, opioid, benzodiazepine, kratom, and prescription medication dependence. My approach is collaborative and personalized, focusing on creating treatment plans that support each individual's goals, recovery, and overall well-being.
I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments, providing a welcoming, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I am committed to delivering culturally responsive care and making high-quality mental health services accessible to individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Schenectady
Searching for therapists in Schenectady starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, training, and therapy styles that match what you want to work on. Bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Schenectady, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can also help you understand a therapist’s communication style and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in Schenectady can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and may have availability for new patients, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
