Jasmine Jackson

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I believe feelings aren't obstacles to manage they're signals worth understanding. For over five years, I've worked alongside people who are quietly exhausted: carrying anxiety, sitting with grief, untangling patterns in their relationships, or navigating a life that no longer fits who they're becoming. My clients often describe our sessions as the first place they've felt truly heard without needing to perform strength or explain away their emotions. I work with individuals and couples across New York, New Jersey, and Florida via telehealth, with evening, morning, and weekend availability, so quality care doesn't have to be another thing to schedule around. I accept Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Anthem, Empire, and other major plans. You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out we can start exactly where you are.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11+ years of experience supporting children, teens, adults and families across the lifespan, from childhood through older adulthood. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Touro College and have a background in family therapy, which informs my understanding of the relationships, experiences, and environments that shape who we are. At the heart of my practice is a deep commitment to the social work value of the dignity and worth of every person. Everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, respected, and supported, regardless of their background or life circumstances. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as we explore challenges, recognize your strengths, and work toward the changes that matter most to you.

Natalia Corporan Crespo

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) LCSW based in Queens, NY, and I work with teens and adults who are navigating trauma, domestic violence recovery, depression, anxiety, and major life transitions. Before private practice, I spent six years working inside the New York City public health system - most recently providing therapy to survivors of domestic violence as they rebuilt their lives after leaving dangerous situations. As a bilingual, multicultural therapist, I understand what it's like to move between languages, cultures, and expectations. I know firsthand what it's like to hold more than one world at once — and I bring that understanding into every session. I work with many clients for whom finding a Spanish-speaking therapist felt impossible before. I take insurance because I believe quality mental health care shouldn't depend on how much you earn. I see clients ages 10 and up. I offer all sessions online, so you can access support from anywhere in New York state.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in New York

Searching for family therapists in New York starts with finding someone whose training fits what your family is navigating. Family therapy may support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication breakdowns across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match the needs you want to address.

Across New York, available therapists and appointment formats can vary between New York City, Buffalo, Albany, and rural areas. Some families prefer meeting in person, while others use virtual sessions to make scheduling easier across households, school schedules, or work hours. Session attendance may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual family members, depending on the therapist’s approach. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they structure family sessions, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and when they are available.

The cost of new york family counseling can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, so you can confirm coverage for your location and plan, compare therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
