Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in New York

Hi, I'm Chinedu Sylvia Morales, a board certified psychiatrist Mental Nurse practitioner dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges with confidence. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgement free space where you feel genuinely heard. Prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step!

If you're looking for a therapist who is direct and will challenge you, I might be a good fit. I'm not a therapist to just sit, listen, and provide head nods. My approach is straight forward and transparent. I'm able to probe if needed and provide honest and direct feedback when necessary. While I'm here to listen, my priority is to help people improve their lives. I enjoy working with Trauma, Anxiety and OCD especially.

In these uncertain times, I can assure you that I operate from a feminist lens and am LGBTQIA 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ affirming/culturally aware.

I can happily provide gender affirming care and ESA (emotional support animal) letters.

I want you to know that when you come into therapy with me, you don’t have to pretend, minimize, or hold everything together. You get to show up exactly as you are — overwhelmed, hopeful, exhausted, confused, motivated, or anything in between. We take it from there together.

My favorite part of this work has always been sitting with people one‐on‐one. That’s where real connection and real healing happen. I genuinely enjoy getting to know who you are, what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping might feel different.

My style is warm, steady, and honest. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you understand the experiences and patterns that are shaping your life. I’m also practical — I like to offer tools and strategies you can actually use in your day‐to‐day life, not just in the therapy room.

I work with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major transitions, and substance use concerns. But most importantly, I work with people who feel stuck or weighed down and aren’t sure how to move forward. Everyone deserves a space where they can breathe and be supported.

Something I tell clients often is this: I don’t want you to just feel better — I want you to be well. Feeling better can be temporary. Being well means building insight, healing, and lasting change.

My goal is simple: to help you feel safe, understood, and supported as you find your footing and move toward what’s healthier and more meaningful for you.

I have been helping people finding solutions to complex problems for more than 20 years. I have a wealth of experience with individuals across the life span and the many challenges we face at various stages of life.

Hi, I’m Jennifer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. I work primarily with women, mothers, preteens, and teens who may be carrying the effects of trauma, grief, family conflict, difficult relationships, anxiety, or depression.

Many of my clients are used to being strong for everyone else while quietly feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of themselves. You may struggle with overthinking, setting boundaries, trusting your feelings, or breaking patterns that have kept you in survival mode. You deserve a space where you can feel supported, understood, and cared for too.

You've been carrying something heavy — maybe for years. The kind of weight that doesn't show on the outside but makes everything feel harder: getting through a workday, trusting people, feeling safe in your own body. Whether you're navigating trauma, PTSD, OCD, depression, or anxiety — or healing from experiences of sexual or physical abuse — you don't have to keep managing this alone. I work with adults across New York, including women, Black and multicultural clients, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are done shrinking and ready for something to actually shift.

As a graduate of New York University with over 25 years of therapeutic support of children, adolescents and young adults in the foster care, psychiatric, educational and substance abuse settings, I provide a compassionate and accepting approach to our time together. As a married mother of adult children, as well as one with Christian values, I am attuned to those who are challenged with life's transitions and struggles who could use support during those changing seasons of life.

It is my belief that each of us has the ability to find our best self. With guidance, insight and a desire to move forward we can obtain optimal emotional, spiritual and mental health. My practice encompasses supportive exploration and accomplishment of one's identified goal(s) with compassion, intuition and an eclectic blend of therapy methods. Much of my work is with individuals who are experiencing issues related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma and substance abuse. With couples and families the work is focused upon exploring, identifying and addressing issues surrounding poor communication, trust and boundaries.

I have been in practice for the last 5 years primarily in the intensive outpatient setting. I offer a safe, compassionate space where your story is heard and respected. Together, we’ll work toward understanding your experiences, building coping skills, and creating meaningful change.

My name is Casey, and I am a licensed clinical social worker based in New York City. Most recently, I have been working at an NYU Langone family health center in Brooklyn, supporting individuals facing a wide range of challenges, with a particular focus on co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns.

Before becoming a therapist, I developed programming and partnerships for a company centered on holistic wellness and spiritual inquiry. Through that work, I was exposed to alternative modalities such as herbalism, psychedelics, astrology, tarot, and Eastern philosophies. These experiences have deepened my understanding of healing and complement the tools offered by contemporary psychology.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC- NY & WA), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC -CT), and and a Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor – Master Level (CASAC – M) with 13 years of experience. I specialize in substance use, anger management, depression, anxiety, and behavior issues.

Hey there! I'm an LCSW and psychotherapist with over 4 years of experience. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ teens and adults and people living with depression, anxiety, and the impact of trauma. I create a space where your full self is welcome—your identity, culture, feelings, and questions.
