Hey there! I hope you will not hang out with me for a long time. I am here to evaluate your challenge and suggest a way out of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and such. Therapy must be short and effective, not a drag.
I offer:
- Short-term holistic therapy. It means we look at your lifestyle and mainly: what you think, what you believe in, if you are physically active, if you eat junk, drink sodas and alcohol, if you watch junk, and how you dress. Your posture matter as well. All of these are pillars of your success for your mental health.
If you need diagnostic evals for your schools and work:
- Borderline Personality Disorder evaluations
- ADHD & Autism evaluations
If you think you are super strange and have nobody to talk to about your UFO abductions and psychic visits- you are at the right place.
I offer clinically rooted and evidence based sessions
- Support for dissociation , UFO dreams, out-of-body experiences and all that cool staff.
- ESA psychiatric evaluations for qualified NYC clients
I hold a degree in Advanced Clinical Practice from Columbia University School of Social Work and am a licensed psychotherapist in New York City.

Hello, I’m Melissa Alcaide. I have worked in human services since 2009, supporting individuals through a wide range of personal and life challenges. My professional experience includes providing supportive counseling in correctional settings, outpatient mental health services for individuals living with serious mental illness, housing and homelessness services, and helping people navigate complex systems and life transitions. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work, a Master’s degree in Human Services Leadership, and a degree in Paralegal Studies.
Today, I am especially passionate about helping individuals struggling with anxiety, OCD, relationship concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, and building greater confidence in themselves and their decisions.
I am a Spanish native-speaker therapist that has lived in the US for over 20 years. My experience comes from working in community mental health, school, and hospital settings, with diverse populations from Los Angeles to New York. I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Social work. I am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Work in the state of NY.
My work centers women and queer adults who wish to soften after life has tried to harden them. I specialize in working with folks who are:
- healing painful patterns
- building healthier relationships
- processing grief & loss
- navigating chronic illness/stress
- working through difficult family dynamics
- unmasking
- connecting with their identity
- exploring the impact institutional/personal trauma
I am a queer, gender non-conforming person. I use they/she/he pronouns. I’m Puerto Rican & Italian and I identify as mixed race. That identity affords me a whole lot, while also leaving me feeling quite lost at times. I move through the world in a body that has chronic illness and is dynamically disabled. I think it’s important to take these experiences and translate them into my work when appropriate. I am not affiliated with any religious institution, though I did grow up Catholic. I live by my principles, and am deeply passionate about social justice, food, culture, and sweatpants.
Both in clinical settings and in my personal life, I have been described as principled, observant, quick witted, dedicated, soft, direct, whimsical, rebellious, and genuine.

Hi, I am Kamilla, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor-D with over six years of experience working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings, including community mental health, forensic services, behavioral health, and developmental disability programs. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and have extensive experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions.
I work hard to ensure that my client feels safe as they embark on their therapeutic journey. In order to best facilitate healing, I firmly believe in providing a comfortable and supportive space for my clients. My goal is to come alongside the client and provide different perspectives that may not have been considered before and provide encouragement in the everyday victories.
Dr. Sheryl Campbell-Julien, DNP, PMHNP-BC

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 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.
