Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been working in the mental health field since 1996. I bring significant experience working in underserved communities as a psychotherapist, Clinical Director, and Program Director of multiple homeless shelters serving families, single adults, and adult couples without children. These experiences imbued me with deep experience working with individuals with complex trauma, PTSD, substance use and abuse issues, immigration trauma, and serious mental illness. Additionally, I work with couples, families, and high-achieving high-net worth individuals from diverse personal and professional backgrounds.

I'm a graduate of Fordham University’s prestigious Graduate School of Social Service, where I later went on to teach as an Adjunct Professor of Social Work. Additionally, I'm a graduate of the Practitioner Program in Gestalt Therapy from Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy in New York, as well as a Certified Integrated Feeling Therapist, both experiential, body-based modalities.

Gidget Rafus-Rousell

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Working with me means you don't have to edit yourself before walking through the door. I work with adults across New York who are navigating trauma, grief, postpartum struggles, OCD, identity, and the exhaustion that comes from surviving things most people don't talk about out loud. My clients often tell me they've spent years feeling like "too much" - too emotional, too complicated, too much history. My job is to be the one who's not overwhelmed by any of that. I'm a Black woman clinician, and I bring that lived lens into my work with intentionality, not as a side note. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are - and also gently challenge you when you're ready - you're in the right place.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • New Paltz, NY


As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have focused the majority of my career on youth and young adults. I love working with young people as they navigate the challenges of personality development, family relationships, and exploring their place in the world beyond the family. My clinical judgment and practice strategies are guided by over twenty years of work with a wide variety of clients and circumstances. As a social worker in a lively high school and a parent of two young adults, I am very comfortable building rapport with the full gamut of adolescent personalities.

I am very excited to support clients in all developmental life stages as they work through clinical and non-clinical issues. These include depression, anxiety, trauma, divorce, grief and loss, life and career transitions, relationships, parenting, family dynamics, and aging.

Happy patient looking away

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.
