Grief counselors and therapists in 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.

Hi, I’m Thomas—Tom works too! My goal is to help you overcome life’s challenges and reconnect with your most authentic self. Are you struggling to feel fulfilled, create meaningful connections, or adjust to life transitions? Is it difficult to overcome the stress, anxiety, and sadness you might be experiencing? These struggles are hard to face alone—but you don’t have to anymore. I’m here to help. Let's work together to find your inner strength, wisdom, and healing to create lasting change.

Hello! I am so happy to introduce myself to you. I have over 20 years of experience working as a therapist. I love being a therapist because I enjoy meeting new people and getting to know their stories. I’m a firm believer in treating the person in front of me, not the diagnosis or code. I don’t believe in seeing someone as their struggle. I help people cope with their symptoms or challenges and to become the best version of themselves. I use many therapeutic frameworks to accomplish this. I never follow one framework only. That shortchanges the opportunities for improvement to me.

I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trying to make sense of themselves during stressful or transitional periods of life. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, burnout, work-related stress, or the emotional toll of caring for others. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and able to approach challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

I have particular experience working with young adults, young professionals, healthcare workers, first responders, and men—especially those who may be new to therapy or unsure where to start. Through my work across emergency, outpatient, residential, and telehealth settings, I’ve supported individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life circumstances. This has shaped me into a flexible and adaptable clinician who is comfortable meeting clients where they are.

I am a mental health counselor who graduated with my MSEd from St. John's University with my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I incorporate various theories and view counseling as integrative and eclectic approach to best suit needs of patients. Several which I use include:CBT, REBT, CPT, Behavior Therapy & Mindfulness-based Interventions including: (DBT, MBCT, & MBSR). I also use Motivational Interviewing (MI), Gestalt, Existential, SFBT (Solution-Focused Brief Therapy) & others.

I have always been interested in what makes each of us who we are and how we relate to others. Throughout my training to become a clinical psychologist, I trained in many different settings including university counseling centers, hospitals, community mental health centers and private practices. I ultimately chose to open my own practice so that I could have the freedom to meet each client's specific needs. I am so grateful for the ability to walk alongside each of my clients as they navigate the challenges and joys of life.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood, respected, and free from judgment. I work collaboratively and believe therapy should meet you where you are. My goal is to support you in gaining clarity and confidence as you navigate what brought you to therapy.

Do you feel like your brain is always working against you? Maybe anxiety keeps you stuck in overthinking and ADHD makes follow-through feel impossible, even for the things that matter most to you. You are not lazy or behind. You just haven't had the right support yet. I'm Dr. Heather Clifford, a licensed psychologist specializing in anxiety and ADHD. I work with adults who are ready to stop surviving their days and start actually living them. I provide affirming care for queer individuals, with a particular passion for those on the bi+ spectrum.
