I specialize in working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, interpersonal relationship challenges, and difficulties with assertiveness.
I'm Molly a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) and Board Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC) with over 17 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults. My background spans clinical and community settings, and what I've seen consistently is this: people often know more than they can say. Art therapy gives that knowing somewhere to go.I work with clients navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, anger, relationship stress, women's issues, and family challenges. Some of my clients are parents bringing their kids in. Others are adults who've tried talk therapy and felt like something was still missing. I see both telehealth-wide across New York, and I accept Cigna and Carelon Behavioral Health.
Whether you are feeling down, depleted, or in pain; if you’re wondering whether you are good enough, or having difficulties finding the motivation to start your day, psychotherapy is an effective way of rediscovering yourself. It allows you to get to the root of your symptoms and find the answers you are looking for in order to create a more fulfilling sense of self. As individuals, we all experience depression, anxiety, trauma in our lives, often more than once. You do not have to go through these issues alone.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in New York
Searching for OCD therapists in New York starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder and exposure and response prevention therapy. Exposure and response prevention, or ERP, is a common evidence-based therapy for OCD, and not all therapists have specific training in it. If you’re looking for support with obsessive thoughts, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, or related stress, review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach. Look for profiles that mention OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Across New York, available OCD therapy options can vary between New York City, Buffalo, Albany, and more rural areas. Virtual care can expand your search beyond the closest office while still letting you choose in-person care when location matters. As you compare therapists, look beyond whether OCD appears in a profile. A therapist who lists ERP training, OCD-focused experience, free phone consultations, and appointment times that fit your schedule may be a stronger match than one who notes general familiarity with OCD. Reading bios can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and supports people with OCD.
The cost of OCD therapy in New York can be significant without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, take your insurance, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 3305 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
