I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes people thrive when therapy feels personal, collaborative, and rooted in what truly matters to them. My work centers on helping clients build agency, strengthen resilience, and make meaningful changes in their lives.
I’ve worked in community clinics and LGBTQ‐affirming organizations with clients of all ages. I specialize in working with teens, college students, and adults facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and identity‐related concerns, including self‐esteem, self‐acceptance, and gender dysphoria. I strive to offer a steady, supportive environment where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered to move forward.
Hi, I'm Ruthellen, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 28 years of experience supporting people through some of life's most challenging moments. Mental health has always been personal to me — watching my own family navigate those struggles is what called me into this work, and giving back to my community is what keeps me going. Outside of the office, you'll find me cheering on my favorite teams or staying active, because I truly believe movement and joy are part of the whole picture.

If you’re carrying more than you feel you should, or moving through life feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected, you don’t have to hold it all alone. I offer a compassionate, non‐judgmental space where women, individuals, and couples can explore what’s hurting and what’s possible. I earned my Master of Social Work from NYU and draw from evidence‐based approaches—including ACT and CBT—to support clients navigating anxiety, depression, body image concerns, and more.

Hi there!
I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) Latine and Neurodivergent Licensed Psychotherapist based in New York City, offering sessions via Telehealth.
I specialize in working with:
- Autistic, AuDHD, ADHD (self-identified and/or formally diagnosed) people
- Latinx Immigrants &
- LGBTQIA2+ individuals
I consider therapy a sacred space; a place I feel honored to co-create with the people I work with. I am passionate about making space for people's life stories and any situations they are navigating in the present.
I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing care to adolescents and adults through a warm, holistic, and evidence-based approach. I completed my Family Nurse Practitioner training at Long Island University and later advanced my training with a post master’s certification in psychiatric mental health at Liberty University. My background across urgent care and outpatient settings has allowed me to care for a wide range of conditions, while recognizing the strong connection between physical health, anxiety, depression, and overall emotional well-being.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, stress, and life transitions, including those managing both medical and mental health conditions. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management, while also creating a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. My goal is to help you feel more stable, clear, and in control of your mental health.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in New York
Finding ADHD therapists in New York starts with knowing what kind of support you want. A therapist for ADHD may help with executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, and patterns that affect focus, planning, or impulse control. A psychiatrist can support medication management when that is part of your care plan. Some people look for one type of care, while others work with both. If you are searching for ADHD therapy for adults, pediatric ADHD support, counseling for ADHD, or help with anxiety or depression that can occur alongside ADHD, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and bio match your needs.
Across New York, available ADHD specialists can vary between New York City, Buffalo, Albany, and more rural areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options if nearby offices have limited availability or if your schedule works better from home. As you compare therapists, review whether they are accepting new clients, offer appointment times that fit your calendar, and have experience with both ADHD and related concerns like anxiety or depression. Provider bios can also show how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and approaches practical skill-building.
The cost of ADHD therapy in New York varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists and psychiatrists who are accepting new clients, review detailed profiles, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with many insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your location and plan. From there, you can compare ADHD therapists, review bios, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
